regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)). The Committee plans to
submit a request to OMB to approve a
revised collection of information

disabilities to participate in the
AbilityOne Program. The Committee is
requesting a 3-year term of approval for
this information collection activity.

Jkt 235001

Federal agencies 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 current collections of
information are 3037–0001 and 3037–
0002. The OMB control number for the
revised collection of information is
3037–0013.
The JWOD Act of 1971 (41 U.S.C.
8501–8506) is the authorizing
legislation for the AbilityOne Program.
The AbilityOne Program creates jobs
and training opportunities for people
who are blind or who have other severe
disabilities. Its primary means of doing
so is by requiring Government agencies
to purchase selected products and
services from nonprofit agencies
employing such individuals. The
AbilityOne Program is administered by
the Committee. Two national,
independent organizations, National
Industries for the Blind (NIB) and
SourceAmerica, help State and private
nonprofit agencies participate in the
AbilityOne Program.
The implementing regulations for the
JWOD Act, which are located at 41 CFR
Chapter 51, provide the requirements,
procedures, and standards for the
AbilityOne Program. Section 51–4.3 of
the regulations sets forth the standards
that a nonprofit agency must meet to
maintain qualification for participation
in the AbilityOne Program. Under this
section of the regulations, a nonprofit
agency that wants to continue to
participate in the AbilityOne Program
must submit a completed copy of the
appropriate Annual Certification form
(Committee Form 403 or 404). This
documentation helps the Committee
determine whether the applicant
nonprofit agency is meeting the
requirements of the AbilityOne
Program.
This information collection request
seeks approval for the Committee to
continue to collect the information
required under 41 CFR 51–4.3 of the
regulations, but in a revised and
expanded format, so that the Committee
can continue to verify the
appropriateness of nonprofit agencies
that would like to participate in the
AbilityOne Program. The previous
separate forms have been combined into
one form. The items being certified have
been revised to match the regulatory
requirements of section 51–4.3 and to
collect other pertinent information on
the qualifications of nonprofit agencies.
New questions concerning nonprofit
agency hours, wages, people performing
direct labor, subcontracting and
veterans have been added. In addition,

the language at the bottom of the
certification section has been revised.
Title: Annual Representations and
Certifications For AbilityOne Qualified
Nonprofit Agency.
OMB Control Number: 3037–0013.
Form Number: Reps and Certs.
Description of Respondents:
Nonprofit agencies serving people who
are blind or significantly disabled that
participate in the AbilityOne Program.
Annual Number of Respondents:
About 570 nonprofit agencies serving
people who are blind or significantly
disabled will annually participate in the
AbilityOne Program.
Total Annual Burden Hours: Burden
is estimated to average 8 hours per
respondent. Total annual burden is
4,560 hours. Note: this burden estimate
is only for the reporting of information;
a separate burden estimate exists for the
recordkeeping requirement.
We invite comments concerning this
renewal on: (1) Whether the collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of our agency’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden of the collection of information;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents.

or attempting to influence the decisions
of affiliated future commission
merchants (‘‘FCMs’’) with regard to the
provision of clearing services and

results in any unreasonable restraint on
trade or imposes any material
anticompetitive burden on trading or
clearing, unless necessary or
appropriate to achieve the purposes of
the Commodity Exchange Act. The
Commission adopted further rules
requiring that derivatives clearing
organization (‘‘DCO’’) rules provide for
the non-discriminatory clearing of
swaps executed bilaterally or through an
unaffiliated designated contract market
or swap execution facility. This notice
solicits comments on the obligation to
maintain records related to clearing
documentation between the customer
and the customer’s clearing member.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public

VerDate Sep<11>2014

18:20 May 14, 2015

Jkt 235001

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
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.
Title: Customer Clearing
Documentation and Timing of
Acceptance for Clearing (OMB Control
No. 3038–0092). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’ or
‘‘Act’’), as amended by the Dodd-Frank
Act, directs the Commission to require
futures commission merchants to
implement conflict of interest
procedures that address such issues the
Commission determines to be
appropriate. Similarly, section 4s(j)(5),
as added by the Dodd-Frank Act,
requires swap dealers and major swap
participants to implement conflict of
interest procedures that address such
issues the Commission determines to be
appropriate. Section 4s(j)(5) also
requires swap dealers and major swap
participants to ensure that any persons
providing clearing activities or making
determinations as to accepting clearing
customers are separated by appropriate
informational partitions from persons
whose involvement in pricing, trading,
or clearing activities might bias their
judgment or contravene the core
principle of open access. Section 4s(j)(6)
of the CEA prohibits a swap dealer and
major swap participant from adopting
any process or taking any action that
results in any unreasonable restraint on
trade or imposes any material
anticompetitive burden on trading or
clearing, unless necessary or
appropriate to achieve the purposes of
the Act. Section 2(h)(1)(B)(ii) of the CEA
requires that derivatives clearing
organization rules provide for the nondiscriminatory clearing of swaps
executed bilaterally or through an
unaffiliated designated contract market
or swap execution facility.
Pursuant to these provisions, the
Commission adopted § 1.71(d)(1)
relating to FCMs and § 23.605(d)(1)
relating to swap dealers and major swap
participants. These regulations prohibit
swap dealers and major swap
participants from interfering or
attempting to influence the decisions of
affiliated FCMs with regard to the
provision of clearing services and
activities and would prohibit FCMs

Frm 00047

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

27931

from permitting them to do so. The
Commission also adopted § 23.607 to
prohibits a swap dealer and major swap
participant from adopting any process
or taking any action that results in any
unreasonable restraint on trade or
imposes any material anticompetitive
burden on trading or clearing, unless
necessary or appropriate to achieve the
purposes of the Act. The Commission
adopted § 39.12(b)(2) to require that
derivatives clearing organization rules
provide for the non-discriminatory
clearing of swaps executed bilaterally or
through an unaffiliated designated
contract market or swap execution
facility.
As discussed further below, the
additional information collection
burden arising from the regulations
primarily is restricted to the costs
associated with the affected registrants’
obligation to maintain records related to
clearing documentation between the
customer and the customer’s clearing
member.
The information collection obligations
imposed by the regulations are
necessary to implement certain
provisions of the CEA, including
ensuring that registrants exercise
effective risk management and for the
efficient operation of trading venues
among SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs.
With respect to the 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.
All comments must be submitted in
English, or if not, accompanied by an
English translation. Comments will be
posted as received to http://
www.cftc.gov. You should submit only
information that you wish to make
available publicly. If you wish the
Commission to consider information
that you believe is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, a petition for

confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.1
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from http://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the Information Collection
Request will be retained in the public
comment file and will be considered as
required under the Administrative
Procedure Act and other applicable
laws, and may be accessible under the
Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average between 16 hours for FCMs and
SDs and MSPs, and 40 hours for DCOs
per response. This estimate includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, disclose, or provide

information to or for a federal agency.
The total annual cost burden per
respondent is estimated to be $736 for
FCMs, SDs, and MSPs and $1,840 for
DCOs. The Commission based its
calculation on an hourly wage rate of
$46 for a financial manager to maintain
the data.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap
dealers, Major Swap Participants,
Futures Commission Merchants, and
Derivatives Clearing Organizations.
Estimated number of respondents:
239 Swap Dealers, Major Swap
Participants and Futures Commission
Merchants, and 14 Derivatives Clearing
Organizations.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 3,824 for FCMs, SDs, and
MSPs, and 560 hours for DCOs.
Frequency of collection: As needed.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: May 11, 2015.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
