The
subject permit is requested under the
authority of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq.) and the regulations
governing the taking, importing, and
exporting of endangered and threatened
species (50 CFR parts 222–226).
On September 22, 2014 notice (79 FR
56573) was published that the applicant
requests a five-year research permit to
conduct research on sea turtles bycaught
in three longline fisheries in the Pacific
Ocean around Hawaii and American
Samoa to assess sea turtle post-hooking
survival, movements, and ecology in
pelagic habitats. NMFS is currently
processing this request. The applicant is
requesting to revise the number of
turtles that could be taken for research
in the Hawaii deep-set longline fishery.
Each species’ take numbers would be
reduced except for leatherback sea
turtles which would increase from 13 to
24 turtles annually. This change is
needed to keep the requested research
take activities consistent with a new
2014 Biological Opinion which changed
the number of sea turtles that may be
incidental bycaught in this commercial
fishery. All other aspects of the
application would remain the same.

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
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

for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below.
Title: ‘‘Commodity Pool Operators

Amendments to Compliance
Obligations,’’ (OMB Control No. 3038–

a currently approved information

Abstract: Pursuant to the Commodity
Exchange Act, as amended by the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’),
Public Law 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376
(2010), the CFTC promulgated rules and
forms relating to registration with the
Commission applicable to
intermediaries, and employees and
principals thereof, operating in the
futures, options, swaps, and retail forex
markets. There were no new
requirements imposed; however, due to
amendments to the Commodity
Exchange Act made by the Dodd-Frank
Act, there was an increase in registrants
in certain registration categories.
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
