FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Duane Andresen, Associate Director, Division of Market Oversight, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, (202) 418–5492; email: dandresen@cftc.gov, and refer to OMB Control No. 3038–0074. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Core Principles and Other Requirements for Swap Execution Facilities (OMB Control No. 3038– 0074). This is a request for an 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 as well as other Parts of the Commission’s regulations. The information collections under this Control Number are necessary for the Commission to evaluate whether SEFs, or entities applying to become SEFs, comply with the CEA’s statutory core principle requirements and part 37 of the Commission regulations. The final rule, 86 FR 9224 (Feb. 11, 2021), provides relief from certain Part 37 requirements that SEFs found in practice to be operationally unworkable or unnecessarily burdensome. The Commission revised information collection number 3038–0074 to reflect the adoption of amendments to Part 37 of its regulations, but does not believe the amended regulations, as adopted, would impose any other new collections of information that require approval of OMB under the PRA. 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. On November 2, 2021, 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, 86 FR 60448 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’) The Commission did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice. Burden Statement: The Commission is revising its burden estimate for this collection, Core Principles and Other Requirements for Swap Execution Facilities (OMB Control No. 3038– 0074). The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 20. Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 387 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 7,740 hours. Frequency of Collection: Once (annually). There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
