SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Regulation of Domestic
Exchange-Traded Options (OMB Control
No. 3038–0007). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The rules require futures
commission merchants (FCMs) and
introducing brokers (IBs): (1) To provide
their customers with standard risk
disclosure statements concerning the
risk of trading commodity interests; and

(2) to retain all promotional material
and the source of authority for
information contained therein. The
purpose of these rules is to ensure that
customers are advised of the risks of
trading commodity interests and to
avoid fraud and misrepresentation. This
information collection contains the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements needed to ensure
regulatory compliance with Commission
rules relating to this issue. The
disclosure and recordkeeping
requirements are necessary to monitor
and to verify compliance by FCMs and
IBs with their obligations concerning
disclosure and promotional material.
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. On June 7, 2018, 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, 83
FR 26437 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission
estimates the burden of this collection
of information as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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
this notice of the proposed extension of
the currently approved collection of
information listed below. 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.
Title: Rule 50.50 End-User
Notification of Non-Cleared Swap (OMB
Control No. 3038–0085). This is a
request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Rule 50.50 specifies the
requirements for eligible end-users who
elect the end-user exception from the
Commission’s swap clearing
requirement, as provided under section
2(h)(7) of the Commodity Exchange Act

(‘‘CEA’’). Rule 50.50 requires the
counterparties to report certain
information to a swap data repository
registered with the Commission, or to
the Commission directly, if one or more
counterparties elects the end-user
exception. The rule establishes a
reporting requirement that is required in
order to ensure compliance with the
Commission’s clearing requirement
under section 2(h)(1) of the CEA and is
necessary in order for Commission staff
to prevent abuse of the end-user
exception under section 2(h)(1) of the
CEA and pursuant to Rule 50.50.
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
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to 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.
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 ICR 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.
