1Scalar ratios were not applied in this case due to brief survey duration. 

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 Modeled take of 2 increased to account for potential encounter with group of average size (Maze-Foley and Mullin, 2006). 

4 Modeled take of 24 increased to account for potential encounter with group of average size (Maze-Foley and Mullin, 2006). 

5 Modeled take of less than 0.5 was rounded down to zero. 

Based on the analysis contained 

herein of Echo’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 

Echo authorizing the take of marine 

mammals incidental to its geophysical 

survey activity, as described above.

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or 

‘‘CFTC’’) is announcing an opportunity 

for public comment on the proposed 

renewal of a collection of certain 

information by the agency. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’), 

Federal agencies are required to publish 

notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed extension of 

a collection of information and to allow 

60 days for public comment. This notice 

solicits comments on the information 

collections associated with the process 

for a designated contract market 

(‘‘DCM’’) or a swap execution facility 

(‘‘SEF’’) to make a swap available to 

trade and therefore subject to the trade 

execution requirement pursuant to the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’). This 

process imposes rule filing requirements 

on a DCM or a SEF that wishes to 

submit a swap as available to trade. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 12, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by ‘‘Renewal of Collection 

Pertaining to Process for a Swap 

Execution Facility or Designated 

Contract Market to Make a Swap 

Available to Trade,’’ ‘‘OMB Control No. 

3038–0099’’ by any of the following

Refer to OMB Control No. 3038–0099. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 

and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CFTC is publishing 

notice of the proposed extension of the 

collection of information listed herein. 

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. 

Title: Process for a Swap Execution 

Facility or Designated Contract Market 

to Make a Swap Available to Trade 

(OMB Control No. 3038–0099). This is 

a request for extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

Abstract: The collection of 

information is needed to help determine 

which swaps should be subject to the 

trade execution requirement under 

section 2(h)(8) of the Commodity 

Exchange Act pursuant to Section 723 of 

the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act. A SEF or 

DCM that submits a determination that 

a swap is available to trade must 

address at least one of several factors to 

demonstrate that the swap is suitable for 

trading pursuant to the trade execution 

requirement. The Commission uses this 

collection of information to facilitate the 

application of the trade execution 

requirement and the requirements 

associated with methods of execution 

under parts 37 and 38 of the 

Commission’s regulations. 

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. 

All comments must be submitted in 

English, or if not, accompanied by an 

English translation. Comments will be 

posted as received to https://

www.cftc.gov. 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. 

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
