SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  *Title:*
                     “Large Trader Reporting for Physical Commodity Swaps,” OMB Control No. 3038-0095—Extension. This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. *Abstract:*
                     This collection is in the public interest and is necessary for market surveillance. Part 20 of the Commission's regulations requires clearing organizations and any persons that are “reporting entities” to file swaps position data with the Commission. The Reporting Rules collect clearing member reports from clearing organizations. The Reporting Rules also require position reports from reporting entities for principal and counterparty positions in cleared and uncleared physical commodity swaps. Reporting entities are those persons that are either “clearing members” or “swap dealers” that are otherwise not clearing members. For purposes of Part 20, reporting parties are required to submit data on positions on a futures equivalent basis so as to allow the Commission to assess a trader's market impact across differently structured but linked derivatives instruments and markets. The Commission initially estimated that approximately 705 entities would be affected by this rule. This number was based on the then estimated number of reporting firms. Because the Commission had not regulated the swap market, it has not previously collected data to support its estimate. Accordingly, the initial estimate of 705 affected entities has been revised to 3,998. The
