SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

■ Title: Reparations Complaint, CFTC 

Form 30 (OMB Control No. 3038–0115). 

This is a request for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Pursuant to Section 14 of 

the Commodity Exchange Act, members 

of the public may apply to the 

Commission to seek damages against 

Commission registrants for alleged 

violations of the Act and/or Commission 

regulations. The legislative intent of the 

Reparations program was to provide a 

low-cost, speedy, and effective forum 

for the resolution of customer 

complaints and to sanction individuals 

and firms found to have violated the Act 

and/or any regulations. 

In 1984, the Commission promulgated 

Part 12 of the Commission regulations to 

administer Section 14. Rule 12.13 

provides the standards and procedures 

for filing a Reparations complaint. 

Specifically, paragraph (b) describes the 

form and content requirements of a 

complaint. CFTC Form 30 mirrors the 

requirements set forth in paragraph (b). 

The Commission began utilizing Form 

30 in or about 1984. The form was 

created to assist customers, who are 

typically pro se and non-lawyers. It was 

also designed as a way to provide 

proper notice to respondents of the 

charges against them. This form is 

critical to fulfilling this policy goal.2

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 May 11, 2021, the 

Commission published in the Federal 

Register a notice of the proposed 

extension of this information collection 

and provided 60 days for public 

comment, at 86 FR 25845 (‘‘60-Day 

Notice’’). The Commission did not 

receive any relevant comments on the 

60-Day Notice. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

be as follows: 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Commodity futures customers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

24. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Respondent: 1.5. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 36. 

Frequency of Collection: As 

applicable. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection. 

(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) 

Dated: July 9, 2021. 

Robert Sidman, 

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
