SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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, including each 
proposed extension of an existing 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.
    Title: Regulations Establishing and Governing the Duties of Swap 
Dealers and Major Swap Participants (OMB Control No. 3038-0084). This 
is a request for an extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: On April 3, 2012 the Commission adopted Commission 
regulations 23.600 (Risk Management Program), 23.601 (Monitoring of 
Position Limits), 23.602 (Diligent Supervision), 23.603 (Business 
Continuity and Disaster Recovery) 23.606 (General Information: 
Availability for Disclosure and Inspection), and 23.607 (Antitrust 
Considerations) \1\ pursuant to section 4s(j) \2\ of the Commodity 
Exchange Act (``CEA''). The above regulations adopted by the Commission 
would, among other things, require swap dealers (``SD'') \3\ and major 
swap participants (``MSP'') \4\ to develop a risk management program 
(including a plan for business continuity and disaster recovery and 
policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with applicable 
position limits). The Commission believes that the information 
collection obligations imposed by the above regulations are essential 
to ensuring that swap dealers and major swap participants maintain 
adequate and effective risk management programs and policies and 
procedures to ensure compliance with position limits. 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.

    With respect to the 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.
    You should submit only information that you wish to make available 
publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider information that you
