SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Clearing Exemption for Swaps
Between Certain Affiliated Entities
(OMB Control No. 3038–0104). This is
a request for an extension and revision
of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the
Commodity Exchange Act requires
1 17

certain entities to submit for clearing
certain swaps if they are required to be
cleared by the Commission.
Commission regulation 50.52 permits
certain affiliated entities to elect not to
clear inter-affiliate swaps that otherwise
would be required to be cleared,
provided that they meet certain
conditions. The rule further requires the
reporting of certain information if the
inter-affiliate exemption from clearing is
elected. The Commission will use the
information described in this collection
and reported pursuant to Commission
regulation 50.52 to monitor the use of
the inter-affiliate exemption from the
Commission’s clearing requirement and
to assess any potential market risks
associated with such exemption.
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 April 22, 2019, 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, 84
FR 16662 (60-Day Notice). The
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection for counterparties to
swaps between certain affiliated entities
that elect the inter-affiliate exemption
under Commission regulation 50.52.
The respondent burden for this
collection is estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
310.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 310 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Annually; 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: June 26, 2019.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
