Trading Commission, phone: 202–418–

Control No. 3038–0059. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Part 41 Relating to Security 

Futures Products (OMB Control No. 

3038–0059). This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’), 7 

U.S.C. 6d(c), requires the CFTC to 

consult with the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) and 

issue such rules, regulations, or orders 

as are necessary to avoid duplicative or 

conflicting regulations applicable to 

firms that are fully registered with the 

SEC as brokers or dealers and the CFTC 

as futures commission merchants 

involving provisions of the CEA that 

pertain to the treatment of customer 

funds. The CFTC, jointly with the SEC, 

issued regulations requiring such 

dually-registered firms to make choices 

as to how its customers’ transactions in 

security futures products will be treated, 

either as securities transactions held in 

a securities account or as futures 

transactions held in a futures account. 

How an account is treated is important 

in the unlikely event of the insolvency 

of the firm. Only securities accounts 

receive insurance protection under 

provisions of the Securities Investor 

Protection Act. By contrast, only futures 

accounts are subject to the protections 

provided by the segregation 

requirements of the CEA. 

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 4, 2017 (82 FR 

36384). The Commission did not receive 

any comments specifically addressing 

the 60-Day Notice. 

Burden Statement: The respondent 

burden for this collection is estimated to 

average 1.57 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: 44. 

Estimated number of responses: 943. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 1,482 hours. 

Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

There are no capital costs or operating 

and maintenance costs associated with 

this collection. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 

Dated: October 13, 2017.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
