SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Procedural Requirements for
Requests for Interpretative, No-Action,
and Exemptive Letters (OMB Control
No. 3038–0049). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Commission Regulation
140.99 requires persons submitting
requests for exemptive, no-action, and
interpretative letters to provide specific
written information, certified as to
completeness and accuracy, and to
update that information to reflect
material changes. Regulation 140.99 was
promulgated pursuant to the
Commission’s rulemaking authority
contained in section 8a(5) of the
Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C.
12a(5) (2000). Regulation 41.3 requires
securities brokers and dealers
submitting requests for exemptive
orders to provide specified written
information in support of such requests.
Regulation 41.3 was promulgated in
response to the requirement in the
Commodity Futures Modernization Act
of 2000 that the Commission establish
procedures for requesting such orders.
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 CFTC’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 December 30, 2013 (78 FR
79408).
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average 0.91 hours per response, ranging
from 0.75 hours for preparation of a
notice to 9 hours for preparation and
submission of a request for a no-action,
exemptive, or interpretative letter.
These estimates include the time
needed to review instructions; develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
