Abstract: This collection of information involves recordkeeping and notice requirements in the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's ("CFTC's") bankruptcy rules for commodity broker liquidations, 17 CFR Part 190 ("Part 190"). These rules apply to liquidations under Chapter 7, Subchapter IV of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 761 et seq. The CFTC promulgated Part 190 pursuant to the authority of 7 U.S.C. § 24. The information collection requirements of Part 190 are intended to facilitate the effective, efficient, and fair conduct of liquidation proceedings for commodity brokers and to protect the interests of customers in these proceedings both directly and by facilitating the participation of the CFTC in such proceedings.

Emergency Justfication: Collection is needed for continued regulation prior to pending publication of final rule.
