FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

David Steinberg, Associate Director,
Division of Market Oversight,
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, (202) 418–5102; email:
[email protected], and refer to OMB
Control No. 3038–0059.
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
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: Part 41, Relating to Security
Futures Products (OMB Control No.
3038–0059). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.

Affected Entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are businesses
and other for-profit institutions.
Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’), 7
U.S.C. 6d(c), requires the CFTC to
consult with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) and
issue such rules, regulations, or orders
as are necessary to avoid duplicative or
conflicting regulations applicable to
firms that are fully registered with the
SEC as brokers or dealers and the CFTC
as futures commission merchants
involving provisions of the CEA that
pertain to the treatment of customer
funds. The CFTC, jointly with the SEC,
issued regulations requiring such
dually-registered firms to make choices
as to how its customers’ transactions in
security futures products will be treated,
either as securities transactions held in
a securities account or as futures
transactions held in a futures account.
How an account is treated is important
in the unlikely event of the insolvency
of the firm. Securities accounts receive
insurance protection under provisions
of the Securities Investor Protection Act.
By contrast, futures accounts are subject
to the protections provided by the
segregation requirements of the CEA.
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. The OMB control
numbers for the CFTC’s regulations
were published on December 30, 1981.
See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981).
The Commission would like to solicit
comments to:
• Evaluate 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;
• Evaluate 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;
• Enhance the quality, usefulness,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average 1.57 hours per response. This
estimate includes the time needed to
review instructions; develop, acquire,
