30-Day Federal Register Notice

7366

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 17 / Thursday, January 28, 2021 / Notices

This request is for a set of related
interviews to facilitate this research.
NOAA will perform interviews with
state and local coastal managers, as well
as representatives from non-profit
organizations, academia, the federal
government, and the finance industry.
The interviews will collect relevant
information from interviewees on their
experiences with coastal resilience
funding and financing mechanisms,
challenges and opportunities related to
funding and financing coastal resilience,
and technical support needs and
opportunities that NOAA can address.
The information provided by
interviewees will be synthesized into
the needs assessment, which will
address needs and information gaps
partitioned by region, financial scale,
time scale, and scope/sector. The
information provided by interviewees
will also be used to help inform an
inventory of existing entities providing
resources for resilience funding, as well
as a summary of existing and emerging
funding sources and financial tools and
mechanisms for coastal resilience.
Finally, the interviews will inform
recommendations on NOAA’s potential
niche in addressing the identified needs
and gaps.
The resulting research (and any
subsequent resources or tools developed
by NOAA to address identified gaps)
will provide much needed information
to NOAA’s customers on funding and
financing coastal resilience efforts,
including available resources and
mechanisms, best practices and
strategies, real world success stories,
and opportunities for technical and
financial partnerships with private and
public entities.

IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: ‘‘Copies of Crop and Market
Information Reports,’’ OMB Control No.

extension of a currently approved

Abstract: The information collected

market surveillance. Manipulation of
commodity futures prices is a violation
of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act).

13(a)(2)) prohibits the dissemination of
false or misleading or knowingly
inaccurate reports that affect or tend to
affect the prices of commodities. In
order to facilitate the enforcement of
this provision, Commission regulation
1.40 requires that members of an
exchange and FCMs provide upon
request copies of any report published
or given general circulation which
concerns crop or market information
that affects or tends to affect the price
of any commodity.
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.2 On November 27,
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, 76
FR 60810 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The respondents’
burden for this collection is estimated to
be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 0.17.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1.7 hours.3
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Gross Collection of ExchangeSet Margins for Omnibus Accounts
(OMB Control No. 3038–0026). This is
a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Commission Regulation 1.58
requires futures commission merchants
to collect exchange-set margin for
omnibus accounts on a gross, rather
than a net, basis. The regulation
provides that the carrying FCM need not
collect margin for positions traded by a
person through an omnibus account in
excess of the amount that would be
required if the same person, instead of
trading through an omnibus account,
maintained its own account with the
carrying FCM. To prevent abuse of this
exception to the regulation, a carrying
FCM must maintain a written
representation from the originating FCM
or foreign broker that the particular
positions held in the omnibus account
are part of a hedge or spread transaction.
This collection of information is
necessary in order to provide
