SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Procedural Requirements for
Requests for Interpretative, No-Action

to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB number. This
collection covers the information
requirements for voluntary requests for,
and the issuance of, interpretative, noaction, and exemptive letters submitted
to Commission staff pursuant to the
provisions of § 140.99 of the
Commission’s regulations,2 and related
requests for confidential treatment
pursuant to § 140.98(b) 3 of the
Commission’s regulations. It includes
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
The collection requirements described
herein are voluntary. They apply to
parties that choose to request a benefit
from Commission staff in the form of the
regulatory action described in § 140.99.
Such benefits may include, for example,
relief from some or all of the burdens
associated with other collections of
information, relief from regulatory
obligations that do not constitute
collections of information,
interpretations, or extensions of time for
compliance with certain Commission
regulations. It is likely that persons who
would opt to request action under
§ 140.99 will have determined that the
information collection burdens that they
would assume by doing so will be
outweighed substantially by the relief
that they seek to receive.
The information collection associated
with § 140.99 of the Commission’s
regulations is necessary, and would be
used, to assist Commission staff in
understanding the type of relief that is
being requested and the basis for the
request. It is also necessary, and would
be used, to provide staff with a
sufficient basis for determining whether:
(1) Granting the relief would be
necessary or appropriate under the facts
and circumstances presented by the
requestor; (2) the relief provided should
be conditional and/or time-limited; and
(3) granting the relief would be
consistent with staff responses to
requests that have been presented under
similar facts and circumstances. In some
cases, the requested relief might be
granted upon the condition that those
who seek the benefits of that relief fulfill
certain notice and other reporting
obligations that serve as substituted
compliance for regulatory requirements
that would otherwise be imposed. In
some cases, the conditions might
include reporting or recordkeeping
requirements that are necessary to
ensure that the relief granted by
2 17 CFR 140.99. An archive containing CFTC
staff letters may be found at http://www.cftc.gov/

Commission staff is appropriate. In
some cases, the parties obtaining relief
may be subject to reporting and
recordkeeping requirements that are
necessary to monitor for the parties’
compliance with the conditions
imposed. The foregoing categories may
or may not be overlapping. Once again,
it is likely that those who would comply
with these conditions will have
determined that the burden of
complying with the conditions is
outweighed by the benefit of the relief
that they seek to receive. The
information collection associated with
§ 140.98(b) of the Commission’s
regulations is necessary to provide a
mechanism whereby persons requesting
no-action, interpretative and exemption
letters may seek temporary confidential
treatment of their request and the
Commission staff response thereto and
the grounds upon which such
confidential treatment is sought.
On March 29, 2017, the Commission
published in the Federal Register notice
of the proposed extension of this
information collection and provided 60
days for public comment on the
proposed extension, 82 FR 15514,
March 29, 2017 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’).
Burden Statement: In order to
establish estimates of the annual
information collection burden
associated with the exemptive, noaction and interpretative letters that
may be issued by Commission staff
during the three year renewal period,
Commission staff reviewed the letters of
this type that were issued by
Commission staff during 2016. This
timeframe was chosen because it was
believed that such recent experience
would be indicative of both the quantity
of requests that Commission staff
expects to receive and the quantity of
letters that Commission staff expects to
issue on an annual basis during the
renewal period and the information
collection burdens that may be
associated with them. In some cases, the
relief granted in 2016 is unlikely to be
requested again as it has been
superseded by a Commission
rulemaking. The projected burden
estimates for the renewal period were
not reduced accordingly in order to
account for the possibility that new
issues may arise. It is also possible that
certain relief granted in 2016 may be
superseded by a future Commission
rulemaking. As future rulemakings and
their effective dates are speculative, the
estimates for the renewal period have
not been reduced to account for
potential rulemakings.
The annual respondent burden for
this collection during the renewal
period is estimated to be as follows:

Type of Respondents: Respondents
include persons registered with the
Commission (such as commodity pool

commission merchants, introducing
brokers, swap dealers, and swap
execution facilities); persons seeking an
exemption from registration; persons
whose registration with the Commission

members; eligible contract participants;
and other persons seeking relief from
discrete regulatory requirements.

burden hours related to a request for
confidential treatment made pursuant to
§ 140.98(b) of the Commission’s
regulations.4
The burden hours associated with
requests for exemptive, no-action and
interpretative letters include both the
drafting and filing of the request itself
as well as performing the underlying
factual or legal analysis generally to
comply with the information collection.
The burden hours associated with
individual requests will vary widely,
depending upon the type and
complexity of relief requested, whether
the request presents novel or complex
issues, the relevant facts and
circumstances, and the number of
requestors or other affected entities. The
Commission provides estimates of the
amount of time that any requestor
spends on any particular request as each
request is unique, based upon the
preceding factors.

There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
These estimates, as set forth in greater
detail below, include the burden hours
for complying with the information
requirements for exemptive, no-action
and interpretative letters contained in
§ 140.99(c) of the Commission’s
regulations; effecting the filing of such
letters pursuant to § 140.99(d);
providing notice to Commission staff of
materially changed facts and
circumstances pursuant to
§ 140.99(c)(3)(ii); complying with any
conditions and monitoring that may be
contained in a grant of no-action or
exemptive relief pursuant to § 140.99(e);
complying with requirements to make
disclosures to third parties; and
preparing and submitting withdrawals
of requests for exemptive, no-action and
interpretative letters, as provided in
§ 140.99(f). The estimates also include
