Certain Coated Paper includes: (a) Coated free sheet paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition; (b) coated groundwood paper and paperboard produced from bleached chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (‘‘BCTMP’’) that meets this scope definition; and (c) any other coated paper and paperboard that meets this scope definition. Certain Coated Paper is typically (but not exclusively) used for printing multicolored graphics for catalogues, books, magazines, envelopes, labels and wraps, greeting cards, and other commercial 1 ‘Paperboard’ refers to Certain Coated Paper that is heavier, thicker and more rigid than coated paper which otherwise meets the product description. In the context of Certain Coated Paper, paperboard typically is referred to as ‘cover,’ to distinguish it from ‘text.’ 2 One of the key measurements of any grade of paper is brightness. Generally speaking, the brighter the paper the better the contrast between the paper and the ink. Brightness is measured using a GE Reflectance Scale, which measures the reflection of light off of a grade of paper. One is the lowest reflection, or what would be given to a totally black grade, and 100 is the brightest measured grade.

The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and the expected costs and burden. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 5, 2011.

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 (ECMs) 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 ECMs consistent with section 2(h)(5)(B) of the Act. An ECM 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 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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 75665 exempt from Commission oversight referred to as ‘‘exempt boards of trade’’ (EBOTs). Rule 36.2 implements regulations that define those commodities that are eligible to trade on an EBOT. Rule 36.2(b) implements the notification requirements of section 5d of the Act. Rule 36.2(b)(1) requires EBOTs 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. 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 August 27, 2010 (75 FR 52731). Burden statement: The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to average 20 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: 23. Estimated number of responses: 23. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 230 hours. Frequency of collection: Annually. 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.
