The information is used by the trading public, futures industry researchers, and the Commission to analyze the commodity futures and option marketplace. The information is received from each exchange on a daily basis in conjunction with other data collected by the Commission to determine the potential for market disturbances and distortions. Additionally, Commission market analysts and researchers use this data on a frequent basis in contract market reviews and research projects. Ultimately, the Commission routinely incorporates verified data into its public reports.
Itâs estimated the annual response burden has increased by 500 burden hours from the previous renewal in 2019. Since the last renewal, the number of respondents has increased from 15 to 17, and while the daily burden hour remained unchanged at 1 hour per response, the total burden hours of the program increased by 13% due to a rise in the number of respondents.
