Control No. 3038–0096.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Swap Data Recordkeeping and
Reporting Requirements (OMB Control
No. 3038–0096). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The collection of
information is needed to ensure that the
CFTC and other regulators have access
to swap data as required by the
Commodity Exchange Act, as amended
by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘DoddFrank Act’’). The Dodd-Frank Act
directed the CFTC to adopt rules
providing for the reporting of data
relating to swaps. In 2012, the CFTC
adopted Regulation 45, which imposes
recordkeeping and reporting
1
17 CFR 145.9.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
requirements relating to pre-enactment
and historical swaps.
On September 25, 2019, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection
and provided 60 days for public
comment on the proposed extension, 84
FR 50413 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’) The
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: Provisions of
CFTC Regulations 45.2, 45.3, 45.4, 45.5,
45.6, 45.7, and 45.14 result in
information collection requirements
within the meaning of the PRA. With
respect to the ongoing reporting and
recordkeeping burdens associated with
swaps, the CFTC believes that swap
dealers (‘‘SDs’’), major swap
participants (‘‘MSPs’’), and non-SD/
MSP counterparties incur an annual
time-burden of 2,279,312 hours. This
time-burden represents a proportion of
the burden respondents incur to operate
and maintain their swap data
recordkeeping and reporting systems.
The respondent burden for this
collection is estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,732.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 1,316.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,279,312 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Ongoing.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.

Title of Collection: Study of District
and School Uses of Federal Education
Funds.
OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW.
Type of Review: A new information
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 306.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 306.
Abstract: The Study of District and
School Uses of Federal Education Funds
will examine targeting and resource
allocation for five major federal
education programs: Part A of Titles I,
II, III, and IV of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA)—
including school improvement grants
provided under Section 1003 of Title I,
Part A—as well as Title I, Part B of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA). The study will collect
detailed fiscal data from a nationally
representative sample of 400 school
districts, including budgets, plans,
expenditure data, and personnel and
payroll data. In addition, the study will
collect data on allocations to districts
and schools to examine how the
distribution of funds varies in relation
to program goals and student needs;
survey district and school officials to
explore such issues as the types of
services and resources that are provided
through the federal funds, coordination
across programs, and use of flexibility;
conduct interviews in nine site visits to
districts to obtain more in-depth data;
and analyze fiscal data.
This package is the first of two OMB
clearance requests for this study. This
package requests approval for selection
and recruitment of nationally
representative samples of school
districts and schools and collection of
certain preliminary information from
states (i.e., lists of subgrantees and
suballocation amounts for each
program, contact information for district
program coordinators for each of the
covered ESEA programs, and the state
chart of accounts). A future submission
will request OMB clearance for the data
collection instruments for this study.
We anticipate beginning collection of
subgrantee lists and other preliminary
information in May 2020 and launching
the district- and school-level data
collection in September 2020.
