Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 Commission is
publishing notice of the proposed
collection of information listed below.
Title: Procurement Contracts (OMB
Control No. 3038–0031). This is a
request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: The information collected
under this request is gathered through
the use of forms specific to a contract or
contracting action. The standard forms
are prescribed for use for non-personal
services, construction, award of
contracts and solicitations as by
agencies in connection with the
procurement of supplies, purchase and
delivery orders, specified in the Federal
Acquisition Regulations (48 CFR 1–53).
The information provided on the forms
is specific and generally does not
require additional information or
questions. 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 following
collection of information, the
Commission 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;

information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of

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

pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or

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 changed
circumstances below.
The information collection consists of
procurement activities relating to
solicitations, amendments to
solicitations, requests for quotations,
construction contracts, awards of
contracts, performance bonds, and
payment information for individuals
(vendors) or contractors engaged in
providing supplies or services.
