10176 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2022 / Notices 

1An 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 conrol number. See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 

1981). 

2Historically, PRA Collections 3038–0068, 3038– 

0083, and 3038–0088 were renewed as a 

consolidated collection. See 82 FR 6241 (Feb. 5, 

2016). However, on April 1, 2019, the CFTC 

published an interim final rule (‘‘IFR’’), which 

allowed uncleared swaps to retain legacy status 

when transferred in connection with what was, at 

the time, a potential no-deal Brexit. See 84 FR 

12065 (Apr. 1, 2019). As the IFR only affected the 

burdens calculations in PRA collection 3038–0088, 

collection 3038–0088 was considered separately 

from collections 3038–0068 and 3038–0083 for 

purposes of incorporating the burdens related to the 

IFR. Id. Since there is no need now to separate 

collection 3038–0088 for purposes of renewing 

these three collections, this proposed renewal once 

again will treat PRA collections 3038–0068, 3038– 

0083, and 3038–0088 as a consolidated collection.

notice of the proposed collections of 

information—treated as a consolidated 

collection—listed below.1

Title: Confirmation, Portfolio 

Reconciliation, Portfolio Compression, 

and Swap Trading Relationship 

Documentation Requirements for Swap 

Dealers and Major Swap Participants 

(OMB Control Nos. 3038–0068, 3038– 

0083, 3038–0088).2 This is a request for 

an extension of currently approved 

information collections. 

Abstract: On September 11, 2012 the 

Commission adopted Commission 

Regulations 23.500–23.505 

(Confirmation, Portfolio Reconciliation, 

Portfolio Compression, and Swap 

Trading Relationship Documentation 

Requirements for Swap Dealers and 

Major Swap Participants) 3 under 

sections 4s(f), (g) and (i) 4 of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’). 

Commission regulations 23.500–23.505 

require, among other things, that swap 

dealers (‘‘SDs’’) 5 and major swap 

participants (‘‘MSPs’’) 6 develop and 

retain written swap trading relationship 

documentation. The regulations also 

establish requirements for SDs and 

MSPs regarding swap confirmation, 

portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio 

compression. Under the regulations, 

SDs and MSPs are obligated to maintain 

records of the policies and procedures 

required by the rules.7

Confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, 

and portfolio compression are important 

post-trade processing mechanisms for 

reducing risk and improving operational 

efficiency. The information collection 

obligations imposed by the regulations 

are necessary to ensure that each SD and 

MSP maintains the required records of 

their business activities and an audit 

trail sufficient to conduct 

comprehensive and accurate trade 

reconstruction. The information 

collections contained in the regulations 

are also essential to ensuring that SDs 

and MSPs document their swaps, 

reconcile their swap portfolios to 

resolve discrepancies and disputes, and 

wholly or partially terminate some or all 

of their outstanding swaps through 

regular portfolio compression exercises. 

The collections of information are 

mandatory. 

With respect to the collections of 

information, the CFTC invites 

comments on: 

• Whether the proposed collections of 

information are 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 burdens of the proposed 

collections 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 burdens 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.8

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 http://www.cftc.gov that it may 

deem to be inappropriate for 

publication, for reasons 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 burdens for 

the collections to reflect the current 

number of respondents and estimated 

burden hours. The respondent burdens 

for the collections are estimated to be as 

follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Executive Order 14008, ‘‘Tackling the 

Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,’’ 

charged the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) with creating a geospatial 

Climate and Economic Justice Screening 

Tool and publishing interactive maps 

highlighting disadvantaged 

communities that are marginalized, 

underserved, and overburdened by 

pollution. Federal agencies will use the 

tool in implementation of the Justice40 

Initiative goal of directing 40 percent of 

the overall benefits of certain Federal 

investments to disadvantaged 

communities in climate, clean energy 

and energy efficiency, clean transit, 

affordable and sustainable housing, 

training and workforce development, 

clean water infrastructure, and the 

remediation of legacy pollution. The 

function of the tool is to employ 

indicators for the purpose of identifying 

communities that exhibit conditions of 

underinvestment in energy, transit, 

housing and water infrastructure, 

disproportionate pollution burden, and 

job training and employment. Agencies 

will use the tool to guide program 

investments in the areas noted above 

under the Justice40 Initiative. 

CEQ has developed a beta version of 

the Climate and Economic Justice 

Screening Tool, which is available at 

https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov. 

Under the current methodology (v0.1) in 

the Climate and Economic Justice 

Screening Tool, a census tract will be 

considered disadvantaged if (1) it is 

above the threshold for one or more 

climate or environmental indicator; and 

(2) it is above the threshold for one or 

more socioeconomic indicator. The 

methodology and the datasets currently 

being used are available at https://

screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/en/ 

methodology. 

II. Key Questions for Input 

Through this request for information, 

CEQ seeks input, information, and 

recommendations on the beta version of 

the Climate and Economic Justice 

Screening Tool from a broad array of 

stakeholders in the public, private, 

advocacy, not-for-profit, academic, and 

philanthropic sectors, as well as from 

state, Tribal, and local governments, and 

territorial areas. In addition, users have 

the opportunity to provide feedback 

through an online survey available at 

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cejstsurvey. CEQ will use responses to this 

RFI and comments received through the 

online survey to consider potential 

updates to the beta version of the 

Climate and Economic Justice Screening 

Tool. After CEQ has updated the tool 

with any modifications that are deemed 

necessary, Federal agencies will use the 

Climate and Economic Justice Screening 

Tool to implement the President’s 

Justice40 commitment.1

Respondents to this RFI do not need 

to address every question, but CEQ 

seeks and welcomes input in the 

following areas: 

1. Methodology: Please refer to the 

Climate and Economic Justice Screening 

Tool website for more information 

regarding the methodology (available at 

https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/ 

en/methodology). 

a. Given the function and role of the 

Climate and Economic Justice Screening 

Tool in identifying disadvantaged 

communities to support the Justice40 

Initiative, please provide comments and 

recommendations for improving the 

methodology used to identify 

disadvantaged communities. 

b. Recognizing the role of the tool in 

identifying disadvantaged communities 

for Justice40 investment benefits across 

agencies and programs, how can the 

tool’s methodology incorporate a 

cumulative impacts approach that 

quantitatively measures the combined 

adverse factors that contribute to the 

conditions that Justice40 is intending to 

address? 

2. Datasets: Data in this beta version 

of the tool provides measures for 

socioeconomic status and in the areas of 

climate, clean energy and energy 

efficiency, clean transit, affordable and 

sustainable housing, training and 

workforce development, clean water 

infrastructure, and the remediation of 

legacy pollution. 

a. What recommendations for 

additional datasets would enhance and 

improve upon the set of indicators 

currently used in the Climate and 

Economic Justice Screening Tool? In 

your comments, please include why and 

how the data recommendations would 

improve upon the current set of data 

and/or indicators used in the tool. 

b. In your response, please include 

the following: 

i. Full information regarding data 

sources (including url, government 

agency, and/or organization); 

ii. Intended measure—what does the 

dataset and/or indicator measure (for 

example, pollution exposure or 

emissions, health conditions, energy 

accessibility, transportation access, 

etc.)?; 

iii. Scope—does the recommended 

data and/or indicator include data from 

all 50 states and territories? If not, 

please provide comments as to how to 

address the issue; 

iv. A summary of the quality (i.e., 

completeness, accuracy, consistency, 

and reliability) of the data for use in the 

tool; and 

v. Geographic resolution of the data 

(i.e., census block, census tract, zip 

code, county, etc.). 

3. Map Usability and Accessibility. 

The Climate and Economic Justice 

Screening Tool map (available at 

https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov) 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES

that provides the user with the 

capability to identify the communities 

identified as disadvantaged by the 

Climate and Economic Justice Screening 

Tool methodology. We are soliciting 

information regarding usability and 

accessibility of the geospatial platform. 

Please provide recommendations on the 

following: 

a. What modifications can improve 

the usability, accessibility, or design of 

the mapping functions that display the 

data and results of the Climate and 

Economic Justice Screening Tool? 

b. Are there specific features or 

functions that will enhance the usability 

of the interactive map by community 

members and organizations, government 

staff, and other stakeholders?
