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
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: Rules Relating to the Operations
and Activities of Commodity Pool
Operators and Commodity trading
Advisors and to Monthly Reporting by
Futures Commission Merchants (OMB
Control No. 3038–0005). This is a
request for comment on a proposed
amendment to a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The CFTC has amended
Regulation 4.22(d) to permit a CPO that
meets certain requirements to present
and compute required Annual Reports
in accordance with specified accounting

principles, standards or practices other
than United States generally accepted
accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). At
the same time, the CFTC amended
Regulation 4.27(c)(2) to permit a CPO
that claims relief under Regulation
4.22(d) as amended to use the same
alternative accounting principles,
standards or practices in presenting and
computing the financial information
that the CPO is required to report on a
quarterly basis to the CFTC in Form
CPO–PQR. The instructions to Form
CPO–PQR, however, specify that all
financial information in the form must
be presented and computed in
accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Accordingly, the CFTC is proposing to
amend the instructions to Form CPO–
PQR to permit use of alternative
accounting principles, standards or
practices by CPOs that claim relief
under Regulation 4.22(d), as amended.
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on whether the proposed
amendment to Collection 3038–0005 is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the CFTC, including
whether the information will have a
practical use, and whether the proposed
amendment will increase the burden on
CPOs who are required to file Form
CPO–PQR.
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 CFTC is not
revising its estimate of the burden for
1 17

CFR 145.9.
