SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Registration under the Commodity Exchange Act (OMB Control No. 3038-0072). This is a request for an extension of a currently approved information collection.
Abstract: The information collected under OMB Control No. 3038-0072 is gathered through the use of forms for registration of swap dealers and major swap participants. Swap dealers and major swap participants are required by section 4s(a) of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") (7 U.S.C. 6s(a)) to register with the Commission. The CFTC uses various forms for registration (and withdrawal therefrom) (the "Registration Forms"). OMB Control No. 3038-0072 applies to the Registration Forms for registration of swap dealers and major swap participants, 2 to the alternative method provided under Commission regulations to submission of a fingerprint card for foreign natural persons; and to the process for requesting cross-border comparability determinations for substituted compliance with requirements otherwise applicable to swap dealers and major swap participants.
Footnotes:
2 Forms for registration of futures commission merchants, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors, retail foreign exchange dealers, introducing brokers, associated persons, floor traders, and floor brokers are the subject of a separate information collection (OMB Control Number 3038-0023).
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. 3 On April 28, 2023, the Commission published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed extension of this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on the proposed extension, 88 FR 26279 ("60-Day Notice"). The Commission did not receive any comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Footnotes:
3 44 U.S.C. 3512, 5 CFR 1320.5(b)(2)(i) and 1320.8 (b)(3)(vi).
Burden Statement: The Commission continues to estimate the burden for this collection as described below.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Users of Commission registration forms that are swap dealers and major swap participants.
Estimated number of respondents: 779.
Estimated average burden hours per respondent: 1.14 hours.
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 888 hours.
Frequency of responses: Periodically.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
