SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Rules Relating to Review of National Futures Association
Decisions in Disciplinary, Membership Denial, Registration, and Member
Responsibility Actions (OMB Control Number 3038-0043). This is a
request for extension of a currently approved information collection.
Abstract: 17 CFR part 171 rules require a registered futures
association to provide fair and orderly procedures for membership and
disciplinary
[[Page 74075]]
actions. The Commission's review of decisions of registered futures
associations in disciplinary, membership denial, registration, and
member responsibility actions is governed by Section 17(h)(2) of the
Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 21(h)(2). The rules establish
procedures and standards for Commission review of such actions, and the
reporting requirements included in the procedural rules are either
directly required by Section 17 of the Commodity Exchange Act or are
necessary to the type of appellate review role Congress intended the
Commission to undertake when it adopted that provision. Because the
number of respondents, responses per respondent, and time per response
has not changed, this renewal does not change the reporting burden for
this collection.
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. On October 28, 2021, 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, 86 FR 59697 (``60-Day Notice'') The Commission
did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The estimated total annual respondent burden for
this collection is three hours. This estimate includes the time needed
to transmit decisions of disciplinary, membership denial, registration,
and member responsibility actions to the Commission for review.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Average Burden Hour(s) per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3 hours.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
Dated: December 23, 2021.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
