Title: Futures Volume, Open Interest, Price, Deliveries and
Purchases/Sales of Futures for Commodities or for Derivatives Positions
(OMB Control No. 3038-0012). This is a request for extension of a
currently approved information collection.
Abstract: Commission Regulation 16.01 requires the U.S. futures
exchanges to publish daily information on the items listed in the title
of the collection. The information required by this rule is in the
public interest and is necessary for market surveillance. This rule is
promulgated pursuant to the Commission's rulemaking authority contained
in Section 5 of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7 (2010).
Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is
estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Annual Reporting Burden
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual number Total annual Hours per
17 CFR Section of respondents Frequency of response responses response Total hours
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16.01......................................... 15 Daily............................... 3,750 0.5 1,875
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total annual cost burden per respondent is estimated to be
$6,875. The Commission based its calculation on a blended hourly wage
rate of $55 for a Programmer and Compliance Manager.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In arriving at a wage rate for the hourly costs imposed,
Commission staff used the Management & Professional Earnings in the
Securities Industry Report, published in 2013 by the Securities
Industry and Financial Markets Associations (Report). The wage rate
used the median salary of a Programmer and Compliance Manager as
published in the 2013 Report and divided that figure by 2000 annual
working hours to arrive at the hourly rate of $55.
