SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 Commission'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 7, 2015 (80 FR
47475).
Title: Information Management Requirements for Registration of
Foreign Boards of Trade (OMB Control No. 3038-0101). This is a request
for extension of a currently approved information collection.
Abstract: Section 738 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended section 4(b) of
the Commodity Exchange Act to provide that the Commission may adopt
rules and regulations requiring Foreign Boards of Trade (``FBOTs'')
that wish to provide their members or other participants located in the
United States with direct access to the FBOT's electronic trading and
order matching system to register with the Commission. Pursuant to this
authorization, the Commission adopted a final rule requiring FBOTs that
wish to permit trading by direct access to provide certain information
to the Commission in applications for registration and, once
registered, to provide certain information to meet quarterly and annual
reporting requirements.
Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is
estimated to range from 1000 hours for the submission of a new
registration application to two to eight hours per response for
submission of required reports. These estimates include the time to
locate, compile, validate, and verify and disclose and to ensure such
information is maintained.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Foreign Boards of Trade.
Estimated number of respondents: 27.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission notes that the 60-day Notice addressing the
proposed collection and comment request with respect to foreign
board of trade registration contained a typographical error in that
it reflected 271 as the estimated number of respondents. 80 FR 47476
(August 7, 2015). The correct number, as indicated above, is 27.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 11,756 hours.
Frequency of collection: Once for new applications, quarterly and
annually for required reports.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: October 14, 2015.
Robert N. Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
