Estimated Total Annual (Non-hour)
Respondent Cost Burden: $1,244.35.
There are no capital start-up or
maintenance costs as well as no filing
fees associated with this information
collection. Any recordkeeping costs
have been factored into the estimated
hourly cost burden. There are, however,
postage costs associated with this
collection.
Customers may incur postage costs
when submitting the items covered by
this collection to the USPTO by mail.
The USPTO expects that 20 percent of
the Recordkeeping Maintenance &
Disclosure item; 0 percent of the
Recordkeeping Maintenance Regarding
Practitioners Under Suspension or
Exclusion item; and 25 percent of the
Complaint/Violation Reporting item
will be submitted electronically. The
USPTO further expects that of the nonelectronic submissions for this
collection, 1 percent of each item’s total
responses will be submitted by hand
delivery and the rest will be submitted
by mail, for a total of 187 mailed
submissions.
The average first-class USPS postage
cost for a one-pound mailed submission
in a flat-rate envelope and a threepound mailed submission in a small
flat-rate box are $6.55 and $7.05,
respectively. 25 percent of the mailed
Recordkeeping Maintenance &
Disclosure items are expected to require
the more expensive flat-rate box mailing
option, while all other items are
expected to be mailed using the flat-rate
envelope. Using these numbers, the
USPTO estimates that the postage costs
for the mailed submissions in this
collection will total $1,244.35.
Therefore, the USPTO estimates that

Abstract: In Adoption of Revised
Registration Form 8–R, 82 FR 19665
(Apr. 28, 2017), the Commission
published a revised version of
Commission Form 8–R. The 8–R is the
application form that individuals must
use to register with the Commission as
an associated person, floor broker, floor
trader, floor trader order enterer, or to be
listed as a principal of a registrant.
Separately, in Agency Information
Collection Activities: Proposed
Collection Revision, Comment Request:
Adoption of Revised Registration Form
8–R and Cancellation of Form 3–R, 82
FR 19663 (Apr. 28, 2017) (‘‘60-Day
Notice’’), the Commission addressed the
PRA implications of the revisions to
Form 8–R. The 60-Day Notice also
addressed the PRA implications
associated with formally cancelling
Commission Form 3–R, a separate
registration form that became obsolete
after its function became available
online and the Commission stopped
requiring its use. As indicated above,
Form 8–R is covered by two OMB
control numbers. OMB control number
3038–0023 applies to Form 8–R in
connection with registering as a floor
broker or floor trader, or registering as
an associated person of, or being listed
as a principal of, a futures commission
merchant, retail foreign exchange
dealer, introducing broker, commodity
trading advisor, commodity pool
operator, floor trader firm or leverage
transaction merchant.2 OMB control
number 3038–0072 applies to Form
8–R in connection with applying to be
listed as a principal of a swap dealer or
major swap participant.3 In connection
with the revision of Form 8–R, the
Commission is amending collections
3038–0023 and 3038–0072 to reflect a
modest increase in the information
collection burdens associated with the
new version of Form 8–R. The
Commission did not amend Form 7–R
or its current burden, which is included
as part of the overall burden estimates
2 OMB control number 3038–0023 also covers
Commission Forms 7–R, 7–W and 8–T in
connection with various registration activities
involving floor brokers, floor traders, futures
commission merchants, retail foreign exchange
dealers, introducing brokers, commodity trading
advisors, commodity pool operators, floor trader
firms or leverage transaction merchants, and their
principals and associated persons, as applicable.
Forms 7–R, 7–W and 8–T were not amended in
connection with the revision of Form 8–R.
3 OMB control number 3038–0072 also covers
Commission Forms 7–R,
7–W and 8–T in connection with various
registration activities involving swap dealers and
major swap participants, and principals thereof.
Forms 7–R, 7–W and 8–T were not amended in
connection with the revision of Form 8–R.

of collections 3038–0023 and 3038–
0072.
I. Commission Form 8–R
The Commission made three
substantive changes to the Form 8–R
that increased the existing information
collection burden under the PRA: Two
new questions were added to the
‘‘Fingerprint Card Information’’ section;
a new question was added to the section
titled ‘‘Disciplinary Information—
Regulatory Disclosures;’’ and, lastly, one
of the questions in the section titled
‘‘Disciplinary Information—Financial
Disclosures’’ was expanded.
Additionally, the revised Form 8–R also
contains several other substantive
modifications, as well as numerous
grammatical, organizational and
formatting changes.4 These other
changes, whether considered
individually or in aggregate, do not alter
the information collection burdens for
Form 8–R. All of the changes to
Commission Form 8–R that are
summarized above are discussed in
detail in the 60-Day Notice.
The collections of information related
to Form 8–R were previously approved
by OMB in accordance with the PRA
under OMB control numbers 3038–0023
and 3038–0072. In the 60-Day Notice,
the Commission addressed the PRA
implications of the changes to
Commission Form 8–R. Specifically, the
Commission estimated that the three
substantive changes to Form 8–R
discussed above together add 0.1 hours
to the existing information collection
burden associated with Form 8–R,
currently 0.8 hours, resulting in a new
collection burden of 0.9 hours for Form
8–R, subject to the additional change to
the collection burden discussed below.
The information requested in Form 8–R
is necessary to assess the applicant’s
fitness to engage in business as a
derivatives professional, subject to
regulation and oversight by the
Commission. 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. As
noted below, the Commission requested
comments on the changes to Form 8–R.
4 The Commission has recently made a series of
additional non-substantive changes to Form 8–R.
The FBI Privacy Act Statement and the Noncriminal
Justice Applicant’s Privacy Rights Disclosure are
added to Form 8–R. Both sets of disclosures are
related to the preexisting requirement that
applicants have their fingerprints taken in
connection with registration. Also, there are several
grammatical changes and changes to specific
verbiage, none of which are substantive.

II. Commission Form 3–R
Firms and individuals historically
were required to use Form 3–R to
update or change the registration
information that they previously
supplied on either a Form 7–R or 8–R.
The Commission no longer requires
firms and individuals to use Form 3–R.
Updating registration information is
now accomplished online, directly via
electronic versions of Commission
Forms 7–R or 8–R. In light of the
obsolescence of Form 3–R, the
Commission proposed in the 60-Day
Notice to formally cancel the 3–R for
PRA purposes, and to reassign to Forms
7–R and 8–R the information collection
burdens that had been associated with
Form 3–R.
The collection of information related
to Form 3–R was previously approved
by OMB in accordance with the PRA
under OMB control number 3038–0023.
The information collection burden
associated with Form 3–R is 0.1 hours.
In reassigning that burden to Forms
7–R and 8–R, the Commission believes
that an additional 0.1 hours should be
assigned to the Form 7–R and 8–R.5 The
reassignment of the information
collection burden for the Form 3–R
simply reallocates a portion of the
existing information collection burden
within OMB control number 3038–0023,
but it does not increase or decrease the
total information collection burden
under that control number. Accordingly,
the information collection burden for
Form 8–R under OMB control number
3038–0023 is 1.0 hour, which consists
of the previous estimate of 0.8 hours,
plus an additional 0.1 hours associated
with the amendments to the 8–R, and
plus an additional 0.1 hours associated
with the functionality that previously
could be attributed to Form 3–R.
OMB control number 3038–0072
previously did not account for the
burden hours associated with Form
3–R. The information collection burden
for Form 8–R under OMB control
number 3038–0072 should be modified
to address the fact that the functionality
of former Form 3–R now exists in the
electronic version of Form 8–R. The
Commission believes that the burden
hours for Form 8–R should be increased
by 0.1 hours under OMB control
number 3038–0072 as well.
Accordingly, the information collection
burden for Form 8–R under OMB
control number 3038–0072 is 1.0 hour,
5 The Commission anticipates revising its Form
7–R in the immediate future. The PRA implications
of the amendments to Form 7–R for OMB control
numbers 3038–0023 and 3038–0072, including
accounting for burden hours associated with former
Form 3–R, will be addressed at that time.

which consists of the previous estimate
of 0.8 hours, plus an additional 0.1
hours associated with the amendments
to the 8–R, and plus an additional 0.1
hours associated with the functionality
that previously could be attributed to
Form 3–R.
III. Comments
In the 60-Day Notice, the Commission
requested comments on, among other
things, its estimates regarding the
modified information collection
burdens associated with the
amendments to Form 8–R and the
cancellation of Form 3–R. The
Commission did not receive any
comments that addressed any of its
estimates or any other aspect of the
information collection.
Burden statement: As explained
above, the Commission believes that the
revisions to Form 8–R increase the
information collection burdens for that
form under OMB control numbers
3038–0023 and 3038–0072.
Additionally, the Commission believes
that reassigning to Form 8–R the
information collection burden formerly
associated with Commission Form 3–R
reallocates the existing information
collection burdens within OMB control
number 3038–0023, and therefore does
not alter the total information collection
burden under that control number.
Lastly, the Commission believes that
updating the information collection
burden under OMB control number
3038–0072 to account for the fact that
the functionality of former Form 3–R is
included in Form 8–R, will cause an
additional modest increase in the
information collection burden under
that control number.
The Commission estimates the burden
of this collection of information under
OMB control number 3038–0023 to be:
Respondents/affected entities: Users
of Form 8–R, specifically (i) associated
persons of futures commission
merchants, retail foreign exchange
dealers, introducing brokers, commodity
trading advisors, commodity pool
operators, and leverage transaction
merchants; (ii) principals of futures
commission merchants, retail foreign
exchange dealers, introducing brokers,
commodity trading advisors, commodity
pool operators, floor trader firms, or
leverage transaction merchants; (iii)
floor brokers; (iv) floor traders; and (v)
floor trader order enterers.
Estimated number of respondents:
78,055.6
6 The revisions to Form 8–R do not change the
estimated number of respondents. However,
regarding the estimated number of respondents for
OMB Control No. 3038–0023, the estimate in the

Estimated total annual burden on

The Commission estimates the burden
of this collection of information under
OMB control number 3038–0072 to be:
Respondents/affected entities: Users
of Form 8–R, specifically principals of
swap dealers and of major swap
participants.
Estimated number of respondents:
772.8
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 672 hours.9
60-Day Notice incorrectly stated that there were
78,109 respondents, which was the total number of
responses. The correct estimate at that time was
77,857. An additional 198 respondents were added
under ICR Ref. No. 201604–3038–003, related to
changes made by the Alternative to Fingerprinting
Requirement For Foreign Natural Persons final rule.
As a result, the total estimated number of
respondents currently is 78,055.
7 Regarding the estimated total annual burden
hours on respondents, the estimate in 60-Day
Notice was 7,210, which consisted of the previous
burden of 7,030 (from ICR Ref. No. 201412–3038–
002), which was temporarily rounded down to
7,000 for the purposes of calculating the burden
associated with Form 8–R, plus an additional 210
hours attributable to the revisions to Form 8–R. The
30-day notice eliminates the temporary rounding
utilized in the 60-day notice and adds the 30
burden hours back into the total. The 30-day notice
also includes an additional 495 hours that were
added to the collection under ICR Ref. No. 201604–
3038–003, related to changes made by the
Alternative to Fingerprinting Requirement For
Foreign Natural Persons final rule. As a result, the
estimated total annual burden on respondents
currently is 7,735. This estimate includes the
collection burdens associated with Forms 7–R,
7–W, 8–R and 8–T, based on the historical practice
of the Commission of addressing the burden
estimates in aggregate, rather than separately on a
form-by-form basis, for all of the registration forms:
Forms 7–R, 7–W, 8–R, and 8–W.
8 Regarding the estimated number of respondents
for OMB Control No. 3038–0072, the estimate in 60Day Notice was 770. An additional 2 respondents
were added to the collection under ICR Ref. No.
201603–3038–006, related to changes made by the
Alternative to Fingerprinting Requirement For
Foreign Natural Persons final rule. As a result, the
total estimated number of respondents currently is
772. The revisions to Form 8–R do not change the
estimated number of respondents.
9 Regarding the estimated total annual burden on
respondents, the estimate in 60-Day Notice was 648,
which consisted of the previous burden of 629
(from ICR Ref. No. 201512–3038–015), plus an
additional 19 hours attributable to the revisions to
Form 8–R. An additional 5 hours were added under
ICR Ref. No. 201603–3038–006, related to changes
made by the Alternative to Fingerprinting
Requirement For Foreign Natural Persons final rule.
Also, an additional 19 hours are being added to
account for the functionality in the Form 8–R that
previously could have been attributed to the nowobsolete Form 3–R. As a result, the estimated total
annual burden on respondents currently is 672.
This estimate includes the collection burdens
associated with Forms 7–R, 7–W, 8–R and 8–T,
based on the historical practice of the Commission
of addressing the burden estimates in aggregate,
rather than separately on a form-by-form basis, for
