SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Disclosure and Retention of Certain Information Related to Cleared Swaps Customer Collateral (OMB Control No. 3038–0091). This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: Part 22 of the Commission’s regulations under the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) establish rules for the protection of customer collateral held by futures commission merchants and derivatives clearing organizations to serve as margin in cleared swaps transactions. As part of this regulatory scheme, sections 22.2(g), 22.5(a), 22.11, 22.12, and 22.16 of these rules impose recordkeeping and third-party disclosure requirements on futures commission merchants and designated clearing organizations. In addition, section 22.13(c)(2) indirectly requires futures commission merchants who post excess collateral with designated clearing organizations to perform certain computations regarding such collateral, although it is not expected to materially affect the total paperwork burden associated with Part 22. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements of Part 22 constitute the collection of information within the meaning of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 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 Part 22 rules were promulgated earlier this year and the associated collection of information was assigned OMB control number 3038–0091. See Final Rule, 77 FR 6336, 6370–71 (February 7, 2012). The Federal Register notice for the 60-day comment period on this renewal of a collection of information was published on October 2, 2012 (77 FR 60114). That notice included a description of the specific recordkeeping and third-party disclosure required by the relevant rule provisions. No comments were received in response to the 60-day notice.

In the 60-notice for this renewal of a collection of information, the CFTC stated that there were estimated to be no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection. Upon further consideration, the CFTC has determined that the costs associated with rules 22.11 and 22.12 are appropriately classified as start-up costs and operating and maintenance costs as those terms are used with regard to Paperwork Reduction Act burden estimates in the Office of Management and Budget regulatory information system. This reclassification does not alter the substance of the recordkeeping and third-party disclosure requirements in question or the associated total cost set forth in the 60-day notice.

    Notes: 1. There is no reporting (in the sense of reporting 
information to the government as opposed to third-party disclosure 
to private parties) requirement or burden in connection with 
information collection under 17 CFR part 22 and Control Number 3038-
0091.
    2. In the 60-notice for this renewal of a collection of 
information, the CFTC stated that there were estimated to be no 
capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with 
this collection. Upon further consideration, the CFTC has determined 
that the costs associated with rules 22.11 and 22.12 are 
appropriately classified as start-up costs and operating and 
maintenance costs as those terms are used with regard to Paperwork 
Reduction Act burden estimates in the Office of Management and 
Budget regulatory information system. This reclassification does not 
alter the substance of the recordkeeping and third-party disclosure 
requirements in question or the associated total cost set forth in 
the 60-day notice.
