request for an extension of a currently

Abstract: On April 3, 2012 the 

Commission adopted Commission 

regulations 23.600 (Risk Management 

Program), 23.601 (Monitoring of 

Position Limits), 23.602 (Diligent 

Supervision), 23.603 (Business 

Continuity and Disaster Recovery), 

23.606 (General Information: 

Availability for Disclosure and 

Inspection), and 23.607 (Antitrust 

Considerations) 1 pursuant to section 

4s(j) 2 of the Commodity Exchange Act 

(‘‘CEA’’). The above regulations adopted 

by the Commission require, among other 

things, swap dealers (‘‘SD’’) 3 and major 

swap participants (‘‘MSP’’) 4 to develop 

a risk management program (including a 

plan for business continuity and 

disaster recovery and policies and 

procedures designed to ensure 

compliance with applicable position 

limits). The Commission believes that 

the information collection obligations 

imposed by the above regulations are 

essential to ensuring that swap dealers 

and major swap participants maintain 

adequate and effective risk management 

programs and policies and procedures 

to ensure compliance with position 

limits. 

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.5

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.

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

(OMB Control No. 3038–0104). This is 

a request for an extension of a currently

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. 

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. On November 23, 2021, 

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, 86

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:

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 1 hour. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 200 hours.
