Trading Commission (CFTC) is

certain information by the agency.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(‘‘PRA’’), Federal agencies are required
to publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including proposed

Commission’s regulations.

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,
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. 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.
Title: Reparations Complaint, CFTC
Form 30 (OMB Control No. 3038–
XXXX). This is a request for a new OMB
control number.
Abstract: Pursuant to Section 14 of
the Commodity Exchange Act, members
of the public may apply to the
Commission to seek damages against
Commission registrants for alleged
violations of the Act and/or Commission
regulations. The legislative intent of the
Reparations program was to provide a
low-cost, speedy, and effective forum
for the resolution of customer
complaints and to sanction individuals
and firms found to have violated the Act
and/or any regulations.
In 1984, the Commission promulgated
part 12 of the Commission regulations to
administer Section 14. Rule 12.13
provides the standards and procedures
for filing a Reparations complaint.
Specifically, paragraph (b) describes the
form and content requirements of a
complaint. CFTC Form 30 mirrors the
requirements set forth in paragraph (b).
The Commission began utilizing Form
30 in or about 1984. The form was
created to assist customers, who are
typically pro se and non-lawyers. It was
also designed as a way to provide
proper notice to respondents of the
charges against them. This form is
critical to fulfilling this policy goal.
Accordingly, the Commission is
requesting an OMB control number to
continue the use of Form 30.

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.1
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 ICR will be retained in
