Abstract: Parts 15 through 19 and 21 of the Commission's regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) require large trader reports from clearing members, futures commission merchants, and foreign brokers and traders. These rules are designed to provide the Commission with information to effectively conduct its market surveillance program, which includes the detection and prevention of price manipulation and enforcement of speculative position limits.
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 referenced CFTC 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 December 28, 2011 (76 FR 81481).
Burden statement: The Commission estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:
| Regulations (17 CFR) | Estimated number of respondents | Total annual responses | Estimated number of hours per response | Annual burden |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parts 15 through 19 and 21 | 3,709 | 76,950 | 1.11 | 22,792 |
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
Dated: February 27, 2012.
David A. Stawick,
Secretary of the Commission.
