SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, Federal agencies must obtain 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CFTC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information listed below. An agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and a 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number.1

Title: Rules Relating to Review of 

National Futures Association Decisions 

in Disciplinary, Membership Denial, 

Registration, and Member 

Responsibility Actions (OMB Control 

No. 3038–0043). This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: 17 CFR part 171 rules 

require a registered futures association 

to provide fair and orderly procedures 

for membership and disciplinary 

actions. The Commission’s review of 

decisions of registered futures 

associations in disciplinary, 

membership denial, registration, and 

member responsibility actions is 

governed by section 17(h)(2) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 

21(h)(2). The rules establish procedures 

and standards for Commission review of 

such actions, and the reporting 

requirements included in the procedural 

rules are either directly required by 

section 17 of the Commodity Exchange 

Act or are necessary to the type of 

appellate review role Congress intended 

the Commission to undertake when it 

adopted that provision. 

With respect to the collection of 

information, the CFTC invites 

comments on: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information will have a practical use; 

• The accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Ways to enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden of 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

You should submit only information 

that you wish to make available 

publicly. If you wish the Commission to 

consider information that you believe is 

exempt from disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, a petition 

for confidential treatment of the exempt 

information may be submitted according 

to the procedures established in § 145.9 

of the Commission’s regulations.2

The Commission reserves the right, 

but shall have no obligation, to review, 

pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or 

remove any or all of your submission 

from https://www.cftc.gov that it may 

deem to be inappropriate for 

publication, such as obscene language. 

All submissions that have been redacted 

or removed that contain comments on 

the merits of the Information Collection 

Request will be retained in the public 

comment file and will be considered as 

required under the Administrative 

Procedure Act and other applicable 

laws, and may be accessible under the 

Freedom of Information Act. 

Burden statement: The estimated 

annual respondent burden for this 

collection is set forth below. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Individuals or entities filing appeals 

from disciplinary and membership 

decisions by National Futures 

Association. 

Estimated number of respondents per 

year: 1. 

Estimated average burden hour(s) per 

response: 1 hour.3

Estimated number of annual 

responses per respondent: 3. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondent(s): 3 hours. 

Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection.

availability of the Emissions Value 

Request Process in support of the U.S. 

Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) 

and Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) 

administration of the section 45V Credit 

for Production of Clean Hydrogen. 

ADDRESSES: The Department of Energy’s 

Emissions Value Request Process for use 

in obtaining an emissions value in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of 

the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 

(Pub. L. 117–169), Congress created a 

tax credit for clean hydrogen production 

(Internal Revenue Code section 45V). 

The amount of the credit is determined, 

in part, by the lifecycle greenhouse gas 

emissions rate of the hydrogen 

production process. On December 26, 

2023, Treasury issued a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on how to 

claim the credit. (88 FR 89220). As 

provided in the proposed rule, hydrogen 

producers intending to claim the tax 

credit must determine the emissions 

rate of their hydrogen production

or by petitioning the IRS for a PER.
