SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a request for an extension of a previously approved collection—Extension. Title: Large Trader Reports (OMB Control No. 3038–0009). This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: The reporting rules covered by OMB control number 3038–0009 (‘‘the 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 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 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be 0.26 hours per response, on average. These estimates include the time to locate the information related to the exemptions and to file necessary exemption paperwork. Respondents/Affected Entities: Large Traders, Clearing Members, Contract Markets, and other entities affected by Commission regulations §§ 16.00 and 17.00 as well as parts 19 and 21. Estimated number of respondents: 453. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 18,348 hours. Frequency of collection: Periodically. There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection. Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Dated: July 13, 2015. Robert N. Sidman, Deputy Secretary of the Commission.

It also helps the public understand the Department’s information collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below.

OMB Control Number: 1845—NEW. Type of Review: A new information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Local and Tribal Governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 28. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8,848. Abstract: The E-Government Act (Pub. L. 107–347) passed by the 107th Congress and signed into law by the President in December 2002 recognized the importance of information security to the economic and national security interests of the United States. Title III of the E-Government Act, entitled the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requires each federal agency to develop, document, and implement an agency-wide program to provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other source. FISMA, along with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (Clinger-Cohen Act), explicitly emphasizes a risk-based policy for costeffective security. FSA is initiating a formal assessment program of the Guaranty Agencies that will ensure the continued confidentiality and integrity of data entrusted to FSA by students and families. The assessment will identify security deficiencies based on the Federal standards described in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) publications. The comprehensive self-assessment links all questions with a NIST control. This collection of information impacts 28 independently owned Guaranty Agencies (GAs) dispersed throughout the U.S. Each agency is under signed agreement with the Department of Education to service Federal Family Education Loans that have been turned over from the lending institutions to the GAs for the purpose of student loan collections.
