Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), this notice announces that
the Information Collection Request (ICR)
abstracted below has been forwarded to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and comment. The
ICR describes the nature of the
information collection and its expected
costs and burden.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before December 20, 2010.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY
CONTACT: David Steinberg, Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, 202–418–
5102, FAX: 202–418–5527, e-mail:
dsteinberg@cftc.gov, and refer to OMB
Control No. 3038–0059.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Part 41 Relating to Security
Futures Products (OMB Control No.
3038–0059). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
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. Only securities accounts
receive insurance protection under
provisions of the Securities Investor
Protection Act. By contrast, only futures
accounts are subject to the protections
provided by the segregation
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
Federal Register notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on
this collection of information was
published on September 16, 2010 (75 FR
56511).
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average .59 hours per response. These
estimates include the time needed to
review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting,
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: 147.
Estimated number of responses:
2,739.90.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 1,624.08 hours.
Frequency of collection: On occasion.
Send comments regarding the burden
estimated or any other aspect of the
information collection, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to
the addresses listed below. Please refer
to OMB Control No. 3038–0059 in any
correspondence.

I. Introduction
A. Statutory Authority
Section 14(a)(3)(B)(vi) of the CPSA, as
added by section 102(a)(2) of the
Consumer Product Safety Improvement
Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110–
314, directs the CPSC to establish and
publish a notice of requirements for
accreditation of third party conformity
assessment bodies to assess children’s
products for conformity with ‘‘other
children’s product safety rules.’’ Section
14(f)(1) of the CPSA defines ‘‘children’s
product safety rule’’ as ‘‘a consumer
product safety rule under [the CPSA] or
similar rule, regulation, standard, or ban
under any other Act enforced by the
Commission, including a rule declaring
a consumer product to be a banned
hazardous product or substance.’’ Under
section 14(a)(3)(A) of the CPSA, each
manufacturer (including an importer) or
private labeler of products subject to
those regulations must have products
that are manufactured more than 90
days after the establishment and Federal
Register publication of a notice of the
requirements for accreditation tested by
a third party conformity assessment
body accredited to do so, and must issue
a certificate of compliance with the
applicable regulations based on that
testing. The Commission may extend
the 90-day period by not more than 60
days if the Commission determines that
an insufficient number of third party
conformity assessment bodies have been
accredited to permit certification for a
children’s product safety rule. Any
requests for an extension should contain
detailed facts showing why an extension
is necessary.
Section 14(a)(2) of the CPSA, as added
by section 102(a)(2) of the CPSIA,
requires that certification be based on
testing of sufficient samples of the
product, or samples that are identical in
all material respects to the product. The
Commission also emphasizes that,
irrespective of certification, the product
in question must comply with
applicable CPSC requirements (see, e.g.,
