determined that formal consultation
under section 7 of the ESA is not
required for this action.
National Environmental Policy Act
In compliance with NOAA policy, the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.),
and the Council on Environmental
Quality Regulations (40 CFR parts 1500–
1508), NMFS determined the issuance
of the IHA qualifies to be categorically
excluded from further NEPA review.
This action is consistent with categories
of activities identified in CE B4 of the
Companion Manual for NOAA
Administrative Order 216–6A, which do
not individually or cumulatively have
the potential for significant impacts on
the quality of the human environment
and we have not identified any
extraordinary circumstances that would
preclude this categorical exclusion.
Authorization
NMFS has issued an IHA to the NPS
at Glacier Bay NP for the harassment of
small numbers of harbor seals incidental
to conducting monitoring and research
studies on glaucous-winged gulls within
Glacier Bay NP, Alaska provided the
previously mentioned mitigation,
monitoring, and reporting requirements
are incorporated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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.
This notice solicits comments on two
ICs contained in OMB Control No.
3038–0081: (A) The filing of an annual
report provided for in Derivatives
Clearing Organization General
Provisions and Core Principles 1 (part 39
of the Commission Regulations); and,
(B) filing of the Subpart C Election Form

provided for in subpart C, part 39 of the
Commission Regulations for DCOs that
elect to be held to the same standards
as systemically important DCOs
(‘‘SIDCOs’’) regulatory requirements
(‘‘Subpart C DCOs’’). These additional
standards are mandatory for SIDCOs
and optional for Subpart C DCOs. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
an information collection unless it
displays a valid OMB control number.
An explanation of the ICs and the
current burden estimates are provided
for below:
Title: Derivatives Clearing
Organizations, General Regulations and
International Standards; OMB Control
No. 3038–0081. This is a request for
extension of a currently approved OMB
Control No. 3038–0081.
Abstract:
(A) Annual report provided for in
Derivatives Clearing Organization
General Provisions and Core Principles.
Section 725(c) of the Dodd-Frank Act
amended Section 5b(c)(2) of the CEA to
allow the Commission to establish
regulatory standards for compliance
with the DCO core principles.
Accordingly, the Commission adopted a
final rule to set specific standards for
compliance with DCO Core Principles.2
The DCO Final Rule requires the
appointment of a CCO, the filing of an
annual report and adherence to certain
recordkeeping requirements.3 It also
allows the Commission to collect
information at other times as necessary.
The information collected in the annual
report pursuant to those regulations is
necessary for the Commission to
evaluate whether DCOs are complying
with Commission regulations.
(B) Subpart C Election Form and other
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements provided for in subpart C,
part 39 of the Commission Regulations.
In the Derivatives Clearing
Organizations and International
Standards final rule (SIDCO-Subpart C
DCO Final Rule),4 the Commission
adopted amendments to its regulations
2 See Derivatives Clearing Organization General
Provisions and Core Principles, 76 FR 69334
(November 8, 2011) (DCO Final Rule).
3 These DCO recordkeeping requirements and
associated costs are captured in separate proposed
rulemakings under separate OMB Control Nos.;
specifically, see Risk Management Requirements for
Derivatives Clearing Organizations; 76 FR 3698 (Jan.
20, 2011) (OMB Control No. 3038–0076);
Information Management Requirements for
Derivatives Clearing Organizations, 75 FR 78185
(Dec. 15, 2010) (OMB Control No. 3038–0069); and
Financial Resources requirements for Derivatives
Clearing Organizations, 75 FR 63113 (Oct. 14, 2010)
(OMB Control No. 3038–0066).
4 See Derivatives Clearing Organizations and
International Standards, 78 FR 72476 (December 2,
2013) (SIDCO-Subpart C DCO Final Rule).

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 102 / Tuesday, May 30, 2017 / Notices
to establish additional standards for
compliance with the DCO core
principles set forth in Section 5b(c)(2) of
the CEA for SIDCOs and Subpart C
DCOs which are consistent with certain
international standards. Specifically, the
additional requirements address any
remaining gaps between the
Commission’s existing regulations and
the Principles for Financial Market
Infrastructures (‘‘PFMI’’) published by
the Committee on Payments and Market
Infrastructures and the Board of the
International Organization of Securities
Commissions.
The SIDCO-Subpart C DCO Final Rule
also established the process whereby
DCO and DCO applicants, respectively,
may elect to become Subpart C DCOs
subject to the provisions of Subpart C.
The election involves filing the Subpart
C Election Form contained in appendix
B to part 39 of the Commission’s
regulations, which involves completing
certifications, providing exhibits, and
drafting and publishing responses to the
PFMI Disclosure Framework and PFMI
Quantitative Information Disclosure, as
applicable. Additionally, the SIDCOSubpart C DCO Final Rule provides for
Commission requests for supplemental
information from those requesting
Subpart C DCO status; requires
amendments to the Subpart C Election
Form in the event that a DCO or DCO
Applicant, respectively, discovers a
material omission or error in, or if there
is a material change in, the information
provided in the Subpart C Election
Form; to submit a notice of withdrawal
to the Commission in the event the DCO
or DCO applicant determines not to seek
Subpart C DCO status prior to such
status becoming effective; and
procedures by which a Subpart C DCO
may rescind its Subpart C DCO status
after it has been permitted to take effect.
Further, each of these requirements
implies recordkeeping that would be
produced by a DCO to the Commission
on an occasional basis to demonstrate
compliance with the rules. The
information that would be collected
under in subpart C, part 39 of the
Commission Regulations is necessary
for the Commission to determine
whether a DCO meets the Subpart C
DCO standards and is likely to be able
to maintain compliance with such
standards; to evaluate whether SIDCOs
and Subpart C DCOs are complying with
Commission regulations; and to perform
risk analyses with respect to SIDCOs
and Subpart C DCOs.
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.
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 information
that you believe is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, a petition for
confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.5
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from https://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the Information Collection
Request will be retained in the public
comment file and will be considered as
required under the Administrative
Procedure Act and other applicable
laws, and may be accessible under the
Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The total annual
time burden for all respondents is
estimated to be 18,472 hours.
See Appendix A for an individual
breakdown for burden for annual
reports provided for in Derivatives
Clearing Organization General
Provisions and Core Principles.
See Appendix B for an individual
breakdown for burden for Subpart C

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,
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.
This notice solicits comments on two ICs contained in OMB Control
No. 3038-0081: (A) The filing of an annual report provided for in
Derivatives Clearing Organization General Provisions and Core
Principles \1\ (part 39 of the Commission Regulations); and, (B) filing
of the Subpart C Election Form provided for in subpart C, part 39 of
the Commission Regulations for DCOs that elect to be held to the same
standards as systemically important DCOs (``SIDCOs'') regulatory
requirements (``Subpart C DCOs''). These additional standards are
mandatory for SIDCOs and optional for Subpart C DCOs. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an
information collection unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
An explanation of the ICs and the current burden estimates are provided
for below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ OMB Control No. 3038-0081 is being retitled to more
accurately reflect the information collections covered.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: Derivatives Clearing Organizations, General Regulations and
International Standards; OMB Control No. 3038-0081. This is a request
for extension of a currently approved OMB Control No. 3038-0081.
Abstract:
(A) Annual report provided for in Derivatives Clearing Organization
General Provisions and Core Principles. Section 725(c) of the Dodd-
Frank Act amended Section 5b(c)(2) of the CEA to allow the Commission
to establish regulatory standards for compliance with the DCO core
principles. Accordingly, the Commission adopted a final rule to set
specific standards for compliance with DCO Core Principles.\2\ The DCO
Final Rule requires the appointment of a CCO, the filing of an annual
report and adherence to certain recordkeeping requirements.\3\ It also
allows the Commission to collect information at other times as
necessary. The information collected in the annual report pursuant to
those regulations is necessary for the Commission to evaluate whether
DCOs are complying with Commission regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Derivatives Clearing Organization General Provisions and
Core Principles, 76 FR 69334 (November 8, 2011) (DCO Final Rule).
\3\ These DCO recordkeeping requirements and associated costs
are captured in separate proposed rulemakings under separate OMB
Control Nos.; specifically, see Risk Management Requirements for
Derivatives Clearing Organizations; 76 FR 3698 (Jan. 20, 2011) (OMB
Control No. 3038-0076); Information Management Requirements for
Derivatives Clearing Organizations, 75 FR 78185 (Dec. 15, 2010) (OMB
Control No. 3038-0069); and Financial Resources requirements for
Derivatives Clearing Organizations, 75 FR 63113 (Oct. 14, 2010) (OMB
Control No. 3038-0066).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(B) Subpart C Election Form and other reporting and recordkeeping
requirements provided for in subpart C, part 39 of the Commission
Regulations. In the Derivatives Clearing Organizations and
International Standards final rule (SIDCO-Subpart C DCO Final Rule),\4\
the Commission adopted amendments to its regulations
[[Page 24689]]
to establish additional standards for compliance with the DCO core
principles set forth in Section 5b(c)(2) of the CEA for SIDCOs and
Subpart C DCOs which are consistent with certain international
standards. Specifically, the additional requirements address any
remaining gaps between the Commission's existing regulations and the
Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (``PFMI'') published by
the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures and the Board of
the International Organization of Securities Commissions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Derivatives Clearing Organizations and International
Standards, 78 FR 72476 (December 2, 2013) (SIDCO-Subpart C DCO Final
Rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SIDCO-Subpart C DCO Final Rule also established the process
whereby DCO and DCO applicants, respectively, may elect to become
Subpart C DCOs subject to the provisions of Subpart C. The election
involves filing the Subpart C Election Form contained in appendix B to
part 39 of the Commission's regulations, which involves completing
certifications, providing exhibits, and drafting and publishing
responses to the PFMI Disclosure Framework and PFMI Quantitative
Information Disclosure, as applicable. Additionally, the SIDCO-Subpart
C DCO Final Rule provides for Commission requests for supplemental
information from those requesting Subpart C DCO status; requires
amendments to the Subpart C Election Form in the event that a DCO or
DCO Applicant, respectively, discovers a material omission or error in,
or if there is a material change in, the information provided in the
Subpart C Election Form; to submit a notice of withdrawal to the
Commission in the event the DCO or DCO applicant determines not to seek
Subpart C DCO status prior to such status becoming effective; and
procedures by which a Subpart C DCO may rescind its Subpart C DCO
status after it has been permitted to take effect. Further, each of
these requirements implies recordkeeping that would be produced by a
DCO to the Commission on an occasional basis to demonstrate compliance
with the rules. The information that would be collected under in
subpart C, part 39 of the Commission Regulations is necessary for the
Commission to determine whether a DCO meets the Subpart C DCO standards
and is likely to be able to maintain compliance with such standards; to
evaluate whether SIDCOs and Subpart C DCOs are complying with
Commission regulations; and to perform risk analyses with respect to
SIDCOs and Subpart C DCOs.
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;
