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.

information, the CFTC
invites comments on:

information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the information will have a practical
use;

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 respondents, 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.
