Form 30 (OMB Control No. 3038–0115).

of the public may apply to the
Commission to seek damages against

1 17

CFR 145.9.

Frm 00022

Fmt 4703

Commission registrants for alleged
violations of the Act and/or Commission
regulations. The legislative intent of the
Reparations program was to provide a
low-cost, speedy, and effective forum
for the resolution of customer
complaints and to sanction individuals
and firms found to have violated the Act
and/or any regulations.
In 1984, the Commission promulgated
Part 12 of the Commission regulations to
administer Section 14. Rule 12.13
provides the standards and procedures
for filing a Reparations complaint.
Specifically, paragraph (b) describes the
form and content requirements of a
complaint. CFTC Form 30 mirrors the
requirements set forth in paragraph (b).
The Commission began utilizing Form
30 in or about 1984. The form was
created to assist customers, who are
typically pro se and non-lawyers. It was
also designed as a way to provide
proper notice to respondents of the
charges against them. This form is
critical to fulfilling this policy goal.2
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 May 11, 2021, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register a notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection
and provided 60 days for public
comment, at 86 FR 25845 (‘‘60-Day
Notice’’). The Commission did not
receive any relevant comments on the
60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
be as follows:
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Commodity futures customers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
24.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 1.5.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 36.
Frequency of Collection: As
applicable.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
Dated: July 9, 2021.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.

include a web-based version of Form 30 as an
additional option for the public to submit
reparations complaints online.
