request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: On April 3, 2012 the
Commission adopted Commission
regulations 23.600 (Risk Management
Program), 23.601 (Monitoring of
Position Limits), 23.602 (Diligent
Supervision), 23.603 (Business
Continuity and Disaster Recovery),
23.606 (General Information:
Availability for Disclosure and
Inspection), and 23.607 (Antitrust
Considerations) 1 pursuant to section
4s(j) 2 of the Commodity Exchange Act
(‘‘CEA’’). The above regulations adopted
by the Commission require, among other
things, swap dealers (‘‘SD’’) 3 and major
swap participants (‘‘MSP’’) 4 to develop
a risk management program (including a
plan for business continuity and
disaster recovery and policies and
procedures designed to ensure
compliance with applicable position
limits). The Commission believes that
the information collection obligations
imposed by the above regulations are
essential to ensuring that swap dealers
and major swap participants maintain
adequate and effective risk management
programs and policies and procedures
to ensure compliance with position
limits.
With respect to the 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
publicly. If you wish for the
Commission to consider information

Title: Clearing Exemption for Swaps
Between Certain Affiliated Entities
(OMB Control No. 3038–0104). This is
a request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the
Commodity Exchange Act requires
certain entities to submit for clearing
certain swaps if they are required to be
cleared by the Commission.
Commission regulation 50.52 permits
certain affiliated entities to elect not to
clear inter-affiliate swaps that otherwise
would be required to be cleared,
provided that they meet certain
conditions. The rule further requires the
reporting of certain information if the
inter-affiliate exemption from clearing is
elected. The Commission will use the
information described in this collection
and reported pursuant to Commission
regulation 50.52 to monitor the use of
the inter-affiliate exemption from the
Commission’s swap clearing
requirement and to assess any potential
market risks associated with such
exemption.
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 November 23, 2021,
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, 86
