1Scalar ratios were applied to ‘‘Authorized Take’’ values as described at 86 FR 5322, 5404 (January 19, 2021) to derive scaled take numbers 

shown here. 2Best abundance estimate. For most taxa, the best abundance estimate for purposes of comparison with take estimates is considered here to 

be the model-predicted abundance (Roberts et al., 2016). For those taxa where a density surface model predicting abundance by month was 

produced, the maximum mean seasonal abundance was used. For those taxa where abundance is not predicted by month, only mean annual 

abundance is available. For the killer whale, the larger estimated SAR abundance estimate is used. 3 Includes 19 takes by Level A harassment and 271 takes by Level B harassment. Scalar ratio is applied to takes by Level B harassment only; 

small numbers determination made on basis of scaled Level B harassment take plus authorized Level A harassment take. 

Based on the analysis contained 

herein of Shell’s proposed survey 

activity described in its LOA 

application and the anticipated take of 

marine mammals, NMFS finds that 

small numbers of marine mammals will 

be taken relative to the affected species 

or stock sizes and therefore is of no 

more than small numbers. 

Authorization 

NMFS has determined that the level 

of taking for this LOA request is 

consistent with the findings made for 

the total taking allowable under the 

incidental take regulations and that the 

amount of take authorized under the 

LOA is of no more than small numbers. 

Accordingly, we have issued an LOA to 

Shell authorizing the take of marine 

mammals incidental to its geophysical 

survey activity, as described above.

including each proposed extension of an

for approval. To comply with this

Title: Reporting, Recordkeeping, and 

Daily Trading Records Requirements for 

Swap Dealers and Major Swap 

Participants (OMB Control Nos. 3038– 

0087). This is a request for an extension 

of currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: On April 3, 2012, the 

Commission adopted Commission 

regulations 23.201 through 23.205 

(Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Daily 

Trading Records Requirements For 

Swap Dealers and Major Swap 

Participants) 2 pursuant to sections 

4s(f) 3 and 4s(g) 4 of the Commodity 

Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’).5 Commission 

regulations 23.201 through 23.205 

require, among other things, swap 

dealers (‘‘SD’’) 6 and major swap 

participants (‘‘MSP’’) 7 to maintain 

transaction and position records of their 

swaps (including daily trading records) 

and to maintain specified business 

records (including records related to the 

governance and financial status of the 

swap dealer or major swap participant, 

complaints received by such SD or MSP 

and such SD or MSP’s marketing and 

sales materials). They also require SDs 

and MSPs to report certain swap 

transaction data to swap data 

repositories, to satisfy certain real time 

public reporting requirements, and to 

maintain records of information 

reported to swap data depositories and 

for real time reporting purposes.8 The 

Commission believes that the 

information collection obligations 

imposed by Commission regulations 

23.201 through 23.205 are necessary to 

implement sections 4s(f) and 4s(g) of the 

CEA, including ensuring 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. 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. 

With respect to the collection of 

information, the Commission 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 

whoare 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.9

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 to reflect the current 

number of respondents. The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

be as follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

107. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours Per 

Respondent: 2,096. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 224,272. 

Frequency of Collection: As 

applicable. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection.
