AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has adopted amendments to Part 21 of its regulations relating to special calls for information. The amendments will: Add to the types of information specified in § 21.02, which must be furnished upon special call, information regarding exchanges of futures for physical commodities or for derivatives positions, and information regarding delivery notices issued and stopped; and delegate to the Director of the Division of Market Oversight and the Director’s delegatees, the ability to issue special calls pursuant to sections 21.01 and 21.02. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 31, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘Act’’), as amended by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (‘‘CFMA’’), Pub. L. No. 106–554, is intended, among other things, to ‘‘deter and prevent price manipulation or any other disruptions to market integrity.’’ 1 To that end, the Commission, through its Division of Market Oversight (‘‘Division’’), conducts a comprehensive program of market surveillance. A centerpiece of this program is the largetrader reporting system, under which all large futures and option positions are reported to the Commission. Each day, for every active futures or option market, Division surveillance staff monitors the activities of large traders, key price relationships, and all relevant supply and demand factors in a continuous review for potential market problems. An essential element of the Commission’s market surveillance program is the ability to make special calls for information from Commission registrants and other market participants. A. Information To Be Furnished Upon Special Call Part 17 of the Commission’s regulations sets forth the routine reports that futures commission merchants, members of contract markets and foreign brokers (collectively, ‘‘reporting firms’’) are required to submit to the Commission.2 These reports provide the information for the Commission’s large trader reporting system. The Commission uses that information in its market surveillance program to detect and prevent market manipulation or other disruptions to market integrity in markets subject to Commission oversight. By contrast, the purpose of the Commission’s special call authority in Part 21 of the Commission’s regulations is to provide the Commission with relevant information that is not routinely supplied to the Commission pursuant to other parts of the 1 Commodity Exchange Act § 3(b), 7 U.S.C. § 5(b). Commission has recently proposed amendments to its definition of the term, ‘‘foreign broker.’’ The amended definition would also be relocated, from its current location at § 15.00(g) to § 1.3(xx). See 72 FR 15637 (April 2, 2007). If such amendments were to be adopted, there would be no change in a foreign broker’s obligations to comply with the Commission’s large trader or special call regulations set forth in 17 CFR Parts 15-21. 2 The E:\FR\FM\31AUR1.SGM 31AUR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 6, 2007, the FAA published the final rule, ``Experimental 
Permits for Reusable Suborbital Rockets,'' in the Federal Register. The 
rule established application requirements for an operator of a manned 
or unmanned reusable suborbital rocket to obtain an experimental 
permit. The FAA also established operating requirements and 
restrictions on launch and re-entry of reusable suborbital rockets 
operated under a permit. The requirements above are in Title 14 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations parts 401, 404, 405, 406, 413, 415, 420, 
431, and 437.
    We noted, in the ``Paperwork Reduction Act'' section of the final 
rule, that affected parties did not need to comply with the information 
collection requirements of the rule until the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) approved the FAA's request to collect the information.
    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, OMB approved the 
FAA's request for new information collection on June 1, 2007, and 
assigned the information collection OMB Control Number 2120-0722. The 
control number was not available when the final rule was published, 
thus necessitating publication of this notice. The FAA request was 
approved by OMB without change and expires on June 30, 2010.
    49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 40119, 41706, 44101, 44701-44702, 44705, 
44709-44711, 44713, 44716-44717, 44722, 46105, grants authority to the 
Administrator to publish this notice. The final rule (72 FR 17001) 
became effective on June 5, 2007, and the compliance date for 
information collection requirements in 14 CFR 437.21, 437.25, 437.27, 
437.29, 437.31, 437.37, 437.41, 437.53, 437.55, 437.57, 437.59, 437.69,
