Amanda Olear, Associate Director, 

Division of Swap Dealer and 

Intermediary Oversight, Commodity 

Futures Trading Commission, 1155 21st 

Street NW., Washington, DC 20581; 

(202) 418–5283; email: aolear@cftc.gov, 

and refer to OMB Control No. 3038– 

0023. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 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 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the CFTC is publishing 

notice of the proposed collection of 

information listed below. 

Title: ‘‘Commodity Pool Operators 

and Commodity Trading Advisors: 

Amendments to Compliance 

Obligations,’’ (OMB Control No. 3038– 

0023). This is a request for extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Pursuant to the Commodity 

Exchange Act, as amended by the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’), 

Public Law 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376 

(2010), the CFTC promulgated rules and 

forms relating to registration with the 

Commission applicable to 

intermediaries, and employees and 

principals thereof, operating in the 

futures, options, swaps, and retail forex 

markets. There were no new 

requirements imposed; however, due to 

amendments to the Commodity 

Exchange Act made by the Dodd-Frank 

Act, there was an increase in registrants 

in certain registration categories. 

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 http://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.1

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 http://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 ICR 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.

Abstract: The National Postsecondary 

Student Aid Study (NPSAS), a 

nationally representative study of how 

students and their families finance 

postsecondary education, was first 

implemented by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES) in 1987 and 

has been fielded every 3 to 4 years 

since. The next major data collection 

will occur in 2016, with a field test 

collection in 2015. This submission is 

for the ninth cycle in the series, 

NPSAS:16, which will also serve as the 

base year study for the 2016 

Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal 

Study (B&B) which provides data on the 

various paths of recent college graduates 

into employment and additional 

education. The NPSAS:16 field test 

sample will include about 300 

institutions (full-scale sample about 

1,680) and about 4,500 students 

(126,000 full-scale). Institution 

contacting for the field test began in 

September 2014 and student data 

collection (interviews and institution 

record data) will be conducted from 

March through June 2015 (full-scale 

institution contacting will begin in 

October 2015 and student data will be 

collected January through October 

2016). Packages to request clearance for 

the full-scale data collection effort 

(institution list collection, cognitive 

testing, student interview, and 

institution record collection) will be 

submitted beginning in 2015. This 

submission for the 2015 field test 

includes facsimiles of the student 

interview and student records 

abstraction instruments as well as 

student and institution contacting 

materials.
