Control No. 3038–0049.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Procedural Requirements for
Requests for Interpretative, No-Action,
and Exemptive Letters (OMB Control
No. 3038–0049). This is a request for an
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: This collection covers the
information requirements for voluntary
requests for, and the issuance of,
interpretative, no-action, and exemptive
letters submitted to Commission staff
pursuant to the provisions of section
140.99 of the Commission’s
regulations,2 and related requests for
confidential treatment pursuant to
section 140.98(b) 3 of the Commission’s
regulations.
The collection requirements described
herein are voluntary. They apply to
parties that choose to request a benefit
from Commission staff in the form of the
regulatory action described in section
140.99. Such benefits may include, for
example, relief from some or all of the
burdens associated with other
collections of information, relief from
regulatory obligations that do not
constitute collections of information,
interpretations, or extensions of time for
compliance with certain Commission
regulations. It is likely that persons who
would opt to request action under
section 140.99 will have determined
that the sought relief substantially
outweighs the information collection
burdens.
This information collection is
necessary, and would be used, to assist
Commission staff in understanding the
type of relief that is being requested and
the basis for the request. It is also
2 17 CFR 140.99. An archive containing CFTC
staff letters may be found at http://www.cftc.gov/
LawRegulation/CFTCStaffLetters/index.htm.
3 17 CFR 140.98(b).

necessary, and would be used, to
provide staff with a sufficient basis for
determining whether: (1) Granting the
relief would be necessary or appropriate
under the facts and circumstances
presented by the requestor; (2) the relief
provided should be conditional and/or
time-limited; and (3) granting the relief
would be consistent with staff responses
to requests that have been presented
under similar facts and circumstances.
In some cases, the requested relief might
be granted upon the requirement that
those who seek the benefits of that relief
fulfill certain conditions that are
necessary to ensure that the relief
granted by Commission staff is
appropriate. Once again, it is likely that
those who would comply with these
conditions will have determined that
the sought relief outweighs the
compliance burden. This information
collection also is necessary to provide a
mechanism whereby persons requesting
interpretative, no-action, and exemptive
letters may seek temporary confidential
treatment of their request and the
Commission staff response thereto and
the grounds upon which such
confidential treatment is sought.
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 March 18, 2020, 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, 85
FR 15436 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission did not receive any
relevant comments on the 60-Day
Notice. Accordingly, the Commission
believes that the burden estimate
described in the 60-Day Notice is
appropriate.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection for persons registered
with the Commission (such as
commodity pool operators, commodity
trading advisors, derivatives clearing
organizations, designated contract
markets, futures commission merchants,
introducing brokers, swap dealers, and
swap execution facilities), persons
seeking an exemption from registration,
persons whose registration with the
Commission is pending, trade
associations and their members, eligible
contract participants, and other persons
seeking relief from discrete regulatory
requirements.
The respondent burden for this
collection is estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
68.

Jkt 250001

Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 40.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,720.
Frequency of Collection: Occasional.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
