SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the Commission is 

publishing notice of the proposed 

extension of the existing 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: Clearing Exemption for Swaps 

Between Certain Affiliated Entities 

(OMB Control No. 3038–0104). This is 

a request for an extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act requires 

certain entities to submit for clearing 

certain swaps if they are required to be 

cleared by the Commission. 

Commission regulation 50.52 permits 

certain affiliated entities to elect not to 

clear inter-affiliate swaps that otherwise 

would be required to be cleared, 

provided that they meet certain 

conditions. The rule further requires the 

reporting of certain information if the 

inter-affiliate exemption from clearing is 

elected. The Commission will use the 

information described in this collection 

and reported pursuant to Commission 

regulation 50.52 to monitor the use of 

the inter-affiliate exemption from the 

Commission’s swap clearing 

requirement and to assess any potential 

market risks associated with such 

exemption. 

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 for 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 Commission 

is revising its estimate of the burden for 

this collection for counterparties to 

swaps between certain affiliated entities 

that elect the inter-affiliate exemption 

under Commission regulation 50.52. 

The respondent burden for this 

collection is estimated to be as follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

478. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 1 hour. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 478 hours. 

Frequency of Collection: Annually; on 

occasion. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Notification of Pending Legal 

Proceedings Pursuant to 17 CFR 1.60 

(OMB Control Number 3038–0033). This 

is a request for extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: Rule 1.60 of the 

Commission’s Part 1 regulations 

requires every designated contract 

market (‘‘DCM’’) and futures 

commission merchant (‘‘FCM’’) to 

submit to the Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

certain specified information 

concerning pending legal proceedings to 

which the DCM or FCM is a party or to 

which its property is subject. Rule 37.2 

of the same part makes the requirement 

of 1.60 applicable to swap execution 

facilities (‘‘SEFs’’). This renewal 

updates the total requested burden 

based on available reported data. 

The Commission originally estimated 

that 101 entities would be affected by 

this rule. That number was based on the 

number of active registrants, including 

62 FCMs,18 DCMs, and 21 SEFs. 

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.2 On September 13, 

2024, the Commission published in the 

Federal Register notice of the proposed 

extension of this information collection 

and provided 60 days for public 

comment on the proposed extension, 89 

FR 74930 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The 

Commission did not receive any 

comments on the 60-Day Notice. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average 0.25 hours per response, once 

annually. This estimate includes 

providing the Commission with notice 

and copies of specified legal documents. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

101. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 0.25. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 25.25. 

Frequency of Collection: Once 

annually. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection.
