The financial surveillance programs combine market information with financial data to assess the financial risks presented by large customer positions to Commission registrants and clearing organizations. Previously, all reporting rules contained in parts 15 through 19 and 21 of the Commission’s regulations were covered by the Collection; however, a recent rulemaking action relocated several recordkeeping and reporting burdens from this collection to a new collection, OMB Control Number 3038– 0103. Specifically, that rulemaking appropriated the information collection burdens associated with Commission regulations 17.01, 18.04, and 18.05. Accordingly, this renewal will update the Collection’s current burden estimates and officially remove the duplicative burdens from the Collection. The reporting rules are implemented by the Commission partly pursuant to the authority of sections 4a, 4c(b), 4g, and 4i of the Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘Act’’). Section 4a of the Act permits the Commission to set, approve exchange-set, and enforce speculative position limits. Section 4c(b) of the Act gives the Commission plenary authority to regulate transactions that involve commodity options. Section 4g of the Act imposes reporting and recordkeeping obligations on registered entities and registrants (including futures commission merchants, introducing brokers, floor brokers, or floor traders), and requires each registrant to file such reports as the Commission may require on proprietary and customer positions executed on any board of trade in the United States or elsewhere. Lastly, section 4i of the Act requires the filing of such reports as the Commission may require when positions made, or obtained on designated contract markets, or derivatives transaction execution facilities, equal or exceed Commissionset levels.

request for extension of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: The reporting rules covered by OMB control number 3038-
0009 (``Collection'') are structured to ensure

that the Commission receives adequate information to carry out its 
market and financial surveillance programs. The market surveillance 
programs analyze market information to detect and prevent market 
disruptions and enforce speculative position limits. The financial 
surveillance programs combine market information with financial data to 
assess the financial risks presented by large customer positions to 
Commission registrants and clearing organizations.
    Previously, all reporting rules contained in parts 15 through 19 
and 21 of the Commission's regulations were covered by the Collection; 
however, a recent rulemaking action relocated several recordkeeping and 
reporting burdens from this collection to a new collection, OMB Control

information collection burdens associated with Commission regulations 
17.01, 18.04, and 18.05. Accordingly, this renewal will update the 
Collection's current burden estimates and officially remove the 
duplicative burdens from the Collection.
    The reporting rules are implemented by the Commission partly 
pursuant to the authority of sections 4a, 4c(b), 4g, and 4i of the 
Commodity Exchange Act (``Act''). Section 4a of the Act permits the 
Commission to set, approve exchange-set, and enforce speculative 
position limits. Section 4c(b) of the Act gives the Commission plenary 
authority to regulate transactions that involve commodity options. 
Section 4g of the Act imposes reporting and recordkeeping obligations 
on registered entities and registrants (including futures commission 
merchants, introducing brokers, floor brokers, or floor traders), and 
requires each registrant to file such reports as the Commission may 
require on proprietary and customer positions executed on any board of 
trade in the United States or elsewhere. Lastly, section 4i of the Act 
requires the filing of such reports as the Commission may require when 
positions made, or obtained on designated contract markets, or 
derivatives transaction execution facilities, equal or exceed 
Commission-set levels.
    With respect to the following collection of information, the CFTC 
invites comments on:
     Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Commission, including whether the information will have a practical 
use;
     The accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
     Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden of collection of information 
on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    All comments must be submitted in English, or if not, accompanied 
by an English translation. Comments will be posted as received to 
https://www.cftc.gov. You should submit only information that you wish 
to make available publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider
