SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB

for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below. 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.
Title: Gross Collection of ExchangeSet Margins for Omnibus Accounts
(OMB Control Number 3038–0026). This
is a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Commission Regulation 1.58
requires that FCMs margin 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 rule is
promulgated pursuant to the
Commission’s rulemaking authority
contained in Sections 4c, 4d, 4f, 4g and
8a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7
U.S.C. 6c, 6d, 6f, 6g and 12a (2000).
With respect to the following
collection of information, the CFTC
invites comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
You should submit only information
that you wish to make available
publically. If you wish the Commission
to consider information that you believe
is exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, a petition
for confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according

to the procedures established in Section
145.9 of the Commissions regulations.1
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from http://www.cftc.gov that it any
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the ICR will be retained in
the public comment file and will be
considered as required under the
Administrative Procedure Act and other
applicable laws, and may be accessible
under the Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden due
to the reduced number of futures
commission merchants in the industry.
The respondent burden for this
collection is estimated to be as follows:
• Estimated number of respondents:
53.
• Total annual responses: 212.
• Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 17.
• Frequency of Collection: On
occasion.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
