SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Establishing Procedures for
Entities Operating as Exempt Markets,
OMB Control No. 3038–0054. This is a
request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Sections 2(h)(3) through (5)
of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act)
provides that exempt commercial
markets are markets excluded from the
Act’s other requirements. The rules
implement the qualifying conditions of
the exemption. Rule 36.3(a) implements
the notification requirements, and rule
36.3(b)(1) establishes information
requirements for exempt commercial
markets consistent with section
2(h)(5)(B) of the Act. An exempt
commercial market may provide the
Commission with access to transactions
conducted on the facility or it can
satisfy its reporting requirements by
complying with the Commission’s
reporting requirements. The Act
affirmatively vests the Commission with
comprehensive anti-manipulation
enforcement authority over these
trading facilities. The Commission is

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 145 / Monday, July 30, 2007 / Notices
charged with monitoring these markets
for manipulation and enforcing the antimanipulation provisions of the Act. The
informational requirements imposed by
proposed rules are designed to ensure
that the Commission can effectively
perform these functions. Section 5d of
the Act establishes a category of market
exempt from Commission oversight
referred to as an ‘‘exempt board of
trade.’’ Rule 36.2 implements
regulations that define those
commodities that are eligible to trade on
an exempt board of trade. Rule 36.2(b)
implements the notification
requirements of section 5d of the Act.
Rule 36.2(b)(1) requires exempt boards
of trade relying on this exemption to
disclose to traders that the facility and
trading on the facility is not regulated
by the Commission. This requirement is
necessary to make manifest the nature of
the market and to avoid misleading the
public.
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. The OMB control
numbers for the CFTC’s regulations
were published on December 30, 1981.

Abstract: Section 124 of the

applying the provisions of Title V,

Title V requires financial institutions to
provide notice to consumers about the
institution’s privacy policies and
practices, to restrict the ability of a
financial institution to share nonpublic
personal information about consumers
to nonaffiliated third parties, and to
permit consumers to prevent the
institution from disclosing nonpublic
personal information about them to
certain non-affiliated third parties by
‘‘opting out’’ of that disclosure. These
regulations implement the mandates of
Section 124 and Title V of the GLB Act.
