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

    Abstract: Section 738 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended section 4(b)(1) 
of the Commodity Exchange Act to provide that the Commission may adopt 
rules and regulations requiring foreign boards of trade (FBOT) that 
wish to provide their members or other participants located in the

authorization, the CFTC adopted a final rule requiring FBOTs that wish 
to permit trading by direct access to provide certain information to 
the Commission in applications for registration and, once registered, 
to provide certain information to meet quarterly and annual reporting 
requirements. The rule establishes reporting and/or recordkeeping 
requirements that are required by Part 48 of the Commission's

provide for trading by direct access meet statutory and regulatory 
requirements on an initial and ongoing basis.
    With respect to the collection of information, the CFTC invites
