SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Registration under the Commodity

extension of a currently approved information collection.
Abstract: 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(c) 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, including each proposed
extension of an existing 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.
With respect to the following 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.
Part 39 Derivatives Clearing Organizations, OMB control number
3038-0051--Extension.
The information collected pursuant to this rule is used to evaluate
compliance with criteria pursuant to which entities apply for and
obtain registration as a derivatives clearing organization. The
Commission estimates the burden of this collection of information as
