Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2011 / Notices
Under the
PRA, Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection
of information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below.
Abstract: Section 729 of the DoddFrank Act required the CFTC to adopt,
within 90 days of enactment of the
Dodd-Frank Act, an interim final rule
for the reporting of swap transactions
entered into before July 21, 2010 whose
terms had not expired as of that date
(‘‘pre-enactment unexpired swaps’’).
Pursuant to this mandate, the CFTC
adopted an interim final rule requiring
specified parties to pre-enactment
unexpired swap transactions to report
certain information related to such
transactions to a swap data repository
(‘‘SDR’’) or to the Commission by the
compliance date to be established in
reporting rules required under Section
2(h)(5) of the CEA, or within 60 days
after an appropriate SDR becomes
registered under Section 21 of the CEA
and commences operations to receive
and maintain data related to such swap,
whichever occurs first. An interpretative
note to the rule advises that
counterparties that may be required to
report to an SDR or the CFTC will need
to preserve information pertaining to the
terms of such swaps.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
be .5 hours per response. These
estimates include the time to locate the
information related to the pre-enactment
unexpired swap transactions and the
time to ensure such information is
maintained in such form as it currently
exists.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap
Dealers, Major Swap Participants, and
other counterparties to a swap
transaction (i.e., end-user, non-SD/nonMSP counterparties).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,800.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 900 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Once.
