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
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 a
proposed notice to extend the existing
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.1
Title: Reparations Complaint, CFTC
Form 30 (OMB Control No. 3038–0115).
This is a request for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to Section 14 of
the Commodity Exchange Act, members
of the public may apply to the
Commission to seek damages against
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. The
Commission implemented a web-based
version of Form 30 in 2021 as an
additional option for the public to
submit reparations complaints online.

(b)(3)(vi).

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 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 § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.2
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 may
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

loan program that offers Federal PLUS
