[[Page 60989]]

Control No. 3038-0022). This is a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
    Abstract: Section 5c(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7a-
2(c), establishes procedures for registered entities (designated
contract markets, registered derivatives transaction execution
facilities and registered derivatives clearing organizations) to
implement new rules and rule amendments by either seeking prior
approval or (for most rules) certifying to the Commission that such
rules or rule amendments do not violate the Act or Commission
regulations. Rules 40.4, 40.5 and 40.6 implement these statutory
provisions.
    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. The OMB control numbers for the
CFTC's regulations were published on December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035
(Dec. 30, 1981). The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on this collection of information was
published on August 5, 2004 (69 FR 47419-01).
    Burden statement: The respondent burden for this collection is
estimated to average .83 hours per response. These estimates include
the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and
utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining
information and disclosing and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: 11,006.
    Estimated number of responses: 13,118.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 57 hours.
    Frequency of collection: On occasion.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimated or any other aspect of
the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the
burden, to the addresses listed below. Please refer to OMB Control No.
