Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 21, 2007 / Notices
Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), 7
U.S.C. 6d(c), requires the CFTC to
consult with the SEC and issue such
rules, regulations, or orders as are
necessary to avoid duplicative or
conflicting regulations applicable to
firms that are fully registered with the
SEC as brokers or dealers (brokerdealers) and the CFTC as futures
commission merchants (FCMs)
involving provisions of the CEA that
pertain to the treatment of customer
funds. The CFTC, jointly with the SEC,
issued regulations requiring such
dually-registered firms to make choices
as to how its customers’ transactions in
security futures products (SFP) will be
treated, either as securities transactions
held in a securities account or as futures
transactions held in a futures account.
How an account is treated is important
in the unlikely event of the insolvency
of the firm. Securities accounts receive
insurance protection under provisions
of the Securities Investor Protection Act.
By contrast, futures accounts are subject
to the protections provided by the
segregations requirements of the CEA.
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.
See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981). The
OMB control number for the CFTC’s
rules relating to security futures
products was published on August 23,
2001. See 66 FR 44490 (Aug. 23, 2001).
The Commission would like to solicit
comments to:
• Evaluate 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;
• Evaluate 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;
• Enhance the quality, usefulness,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• 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.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average .59 hours per response. These
estimates include the time needed to

validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information
and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train
personnel to be able to respond to a
collection of information; and transmit
or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: 144.
Estimated number of responses:
2,739.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,620.48 hours.
Frequency of collection: On occasion.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of colleting,
validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information
and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train
personnel to be able to respond to a
collection of information; and transmit
or otherwise disclose the information.
