‘‘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
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.
Title: Regulations Establishing and
Governing the Duties of Swap Dealers
and Major Swap Participants (OMB
Control No. 3038–0084). This is a
request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: On April 3, 2012 the
Commission adopted Commission
regulations 23.600 (Risk Management
Program), 23.601 (Monitoring of
Position Limits), 23.602 (Diligent
Supervision), 23.603 (Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery)
23.606 (General Information:
Availability for Disclosure and
Inspection), and 23.607 (Antitrust
Considerations) 1 pursuant to section
4s(j) 2 of the Commodity Exchange Act
(‘‘CEA’’). The above regulations adopted
by the Commission would, among other
things, require swap dealers (‘‘SD’’) 3
and major swap participants (‘‘MSP’’) 4
to develop a risk management program
(including a plan for business
continuity and disaster recovery and
policies and procedures designed to
ensure compliance with applicable
position limits). The Commission
believes that the information collection
obligations imposed by the above
regulations are essential to ensuring that
swap dealers and major swap
participants maintain adequate and
effective risk management programs and
policies and procedures to ensure
compliance with position limits. 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.

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.
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.5
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 Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection to reflect the current
number of registered SDs and MSPs.
The respondent burden for this
collection is estimated to be as follows:
Number of Registrants: 106.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Registrant: 1,148.5.
Estimated Aggregate Burden Hours:
121,741.
Frequency of Recordkeeping: As
applicable.

(Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Daily

swaps (including daily trading records)
and to maintain specified business
records (including records related to the
governance and financial status of the
swap dealer or major swap participant,
complaints received by such SD or MSP
and such SD or MSP’s marketing and
sales materials). They also require SDs
and MSPs to report certain swap
transaction data to swap data
repositories, to satisfy certain real time
public reporting requirements, and to
maintain records of information
reported to swap data depositories and
for real time reporting purposes.8 The
Commission believes that the
information collection obligations
imposed by Commission regulations
23.201 through 23.205 are necessary to
implement sections 4s(f) and 4s(g) of the
CEA, including ensuring that each SD
and MSP maintains the required records
of their business activities and an audit
trail sufficient to conduct
comprehensive and accurate trade
reconstruction. 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.
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

collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

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.9
