This data collection operation relates
to the Federal regulation of contract markets, clearing members,
futures commission merchants, foreign brokers, and large traders
holding futures and options positions in commodities.
The Proposed Amendment would
add to the types of information specified in section 21.02, which
must be furnished upon special call information re: exchanges of
futures for physical commodities or derivatives positions, and
information re: delivery notices issued and stopped; and delegate
to the Director of the Division of Market Oversite and the
Director's delegatees, the ability to issue special calls pursuant
to sections 21.01 and 21.02. Although Sec. 21.02 applies to FCMs,
contract market members, IBs and foreign brokers, the first three
are already required to keep the designated information, and
provide it on demand, under other sections of the regulations.
Therefore, the notice only affects foreign brokers.
