SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
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
1 17

CFR 145.9.

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. Only securities accounts
receive insurance protection under
provisions of the Securities Investor
Protection Act. By contrast, only 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
Federal Register notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on
this collection of information was
published on August 4, 2017 (82 FR
36384). The Commission did not receive
any comments specifically addressing
the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average 1.57 hours per response. These
estimates include the time needed to
review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting,
validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information
and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train
personnel to be able to respond to a
collection of information; and transmit
or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: 44.
Estimated number of responses: 943.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,482 hours.
Frequency of collection: On occasion.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: October 13, 2017.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
