Abstract: Under Commission Rule 21.02, upon call by the Commission, information related to futures or options positions held or introduced by futures commission merchants, members of contract markets, introducing brokers, and foreign brokers and, for options positions, must be furnished by each reporting market. This rule is designed to assist the Commission in prevention of market manipulation and is promulgated pursuant to the Commission’s rulemaking authority contained in section 8a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 12 a (2010). The information is used primarily by Surveillance and Market Analysts in order to fulfill their market surveillance function. Additionally, the data is used to provide a basis for reports to Congress as well as supporting various research projects and reports from Commission economists and analysts.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: A reduction in the total annual number of responses from 400 in 2016 to 100 in 2019 has accordingly caused the estimated annual burden hours to lessen from 700 hours in the previous renewal to 175 hours currently. This reduction in annual responses can be attributed to improved methods and a considered approach surrounding the special call process, where the CFTC prudently exercises this option based on particular, carefully-weighed circumstances to avoid placing undue burdens on market participants.
