Achievement will be presented at both
MBDA Regional and National MED
Weeks. The Ronald H. Brown
Leadership Award and the Abe Venable
Legacy Award for Lifetime Achievement
will be presented only at National MED
Week.
Nominations for these awards are
open to the public. MBDA must collect
two types of information: (a)
Information identifying the nominee
and nominator, and (b) information
explaining why the nominee should be
given the award. The information will

limits the information collected as part
of the nomination process. This makes
the competition fair and eases the
burden on applicants and reviewers.

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 250 / Thursday, December 29, 2011 / Notices
Under the
PRA, Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
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.
With respect to the following
collection of information, the CFTC
invites comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
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 those who
are to respond, 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.
Regulations Governing Bankruptcies
of Commodity Brokers, OMB control
number 3038–0021—Extension.
This collection of information
involves recordkeeping and notice
requirements in the CFTC’s bankruptcy
rules for commodity broker liquidations,
17 CFR Part 190. These requirements are
intended to facilitate the effective,
efficient, and fair conduct of liquidation
proceedings for commodity brokers and
to protect the interests of customers in
these proceedings. Commodity broker
liquidations occur at unpredictable and
irregular intervals; for purposes of
estimating information collection
burden this notice assumes an average
of one commodity broker liquidation
every three years. The CFTC further
notes that the information collection
burden will vary in particular
commodity broker liquidations
