SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Core Principles and Other Requirements for Swap Execution 
Facilities (OMB Control No. 3038-0074). This is a request for extension 
of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'') added new section 5h to 
the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') to impose requirements concerning 
the registration and operation of swap execution facilities (``SEFs''), 
which the Commission has incorporated in part 37 of its regulations. 
These information collections are needed for the Commission to ensure 
that SEFs comply with these requirements. Among other requirements, 
part 37 of the Commission's regulations imposes SEF registration 
requirements for a trading platform or system, obligates SEFs to 
provide transaction confirmations to swap counterparties, and requires 
SEFs to comply with 15 core principles. Collection 3038-0074 was 
created in response to the part 37 regulatory requirements for SEFs.
    In April 2018, the Commission published a 30-Day Notice of Intent 
to Renew Collection 3038-0074 (30-Day Renewal Notice) and stated that 
25 SEFs were registered with the Commission.\2\ However, since 
publication of the 30-Day Renewal Notice, the Commission has granted 
permanent registration to several additional SEFs, while others SEFs 
have had their registrations vacated or have been deemed dormant under 
part 40 of the Commission regulations, for a total of 21 registered 
SEFs.\3\ Therefore, on January 19, 2021,

[[Page 20130]]

the Commission published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed 
extension of this information collection, which proposed revising the 
below burden statement for OMB Control No. 3038-0074 to account for the 
decrease in the number of registered SEFs, and provided 60 days for 
public comment on the proposed extension, 86 FR 5147, (Jan. 19, 2021) 
(60-Day Renewal Notice). The Commission received four non-substantive 
comments on the 60-Day Renewal Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 83 FR 15557 (Apr. 21, 2018).
    \3\ This includes 20 SEFs that are currently registered with the 
Commission and one dormant SEF that is in the process of filing for 
reinstatement in accordance with Commission regulation 37.3(d) and 
is currently operating under staff no-action relief. See CFTC Letter 
No. 20-29, available at https://www.cftc.gov/csl/20-29/download.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Burden Statement: The Commission is revising its estimate of the 
burden for this collection to account for the change in the number of 
SEFs currently registered with the Commission. The respondent burden 
for this collection is estimated to be as follows:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 21.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 21,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 21,000.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission notes that collection 3038-0074 includes an 
additional 1,200 burden hours for SEF registration applicants that 
have not been affected by this amendment. Therefore, the total 
burden for this collection is 22,200 hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Frequency of Collection: As applicable.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs 
associated with this collection.
