notice of the proposed collections of
information—treated as a consolidated
collection—listed below.1
Title: Confirmation, Portfolio
Reconciliation, Portfolio Compression,
and Swap Trading Relationship
Documentation Requirements for Swap
Dealers and Major Swap Participants
(OMB Control Nos. 3038–0068, 3038–
0083, 3038–0088).2 This is a request for
an extension of currently approved
information collections.
Abstract: On September 11, 2012 the
Commission adopted Commission
Regulations 23.500–23.505
(Confirmation, Portfolio Reconciliation,
Portfolio Compression, and Swap
Trading Relationship Documentation
Requirements for Swap Dealers and
Major Swap Participants) 3 under
sections 4s(f), (g) and (i) 4 of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’).
Commission regulations 23.500–23.505
require, among other things, that swap
dealers (‘‘SDs’’) 5 and major swap
participants (‘‘MSPs’’) 6 develop and
retain written swap trading relationship
documentation. The regulations also
establish requirements for SDs and
MSPs regarding swap confirmation,
portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio
compression. Under the regulations,
SDs and MSPs are obligated to maintain
records of the policies and procedures
required by the rules.7
1 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 conrol number. See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30,
1981).
2 Historically, PRA Collections 3038–0068, 3038–
0083, and 3038–0088 were renewed as a
consolidated collection. See 82 FR 6241 (Feb. 5,
2016). However, on April 1, 2019, the CFTC
published an interim final rule (‘‘IFR’’), which
allowed uncleared swaps to retain legacy status
when transferred in connection with what was, at
the time, a potential no-deal Brexit. See 84 FR
12065 (Apr. 1, 2019). As the IFR only affected the
burdens calculations in PRA collection 3038–0088,
collection 3038–0088 was considered separately
from collections 3038–0068 and 3038–0083 for
purposes of incorporating the burdens related to the
IFR. Id. Since there is no need now to separate
collection 3038–0088 for purposes of renewing
these three collections, this proposed renewal once
again will treat PRA collections 3038–0068, 3038–
0083, and 3038–0088 as a consolidated collection.
3 17 CFR 23.500–23.505.
4 7 U.S.C. 6s(f), (g) & (i).
5 For the definition of SD, see Section 1a(49) of
the CEA and Commission regulation 1.3; 7 U.S.C.
1a(49) and 17 CFR 1.3.
6 For the definitions of MSP, see Section 1a(33)
of the CEA and Commission regulation 1.3; 7 U.S.C.
1a(33) and 17 CFR 1.3.
7 SDs and MSPs are required to maintain all
records of policies and procedures in accordance
with Commission regulations 23.203 and, by
extension, 1.31, including policies, procedures, and
models used for eligible master netting agreements
and custody agreements that prohibit custodian of
margin from re-hypothecating, repledging, reusing,
or otherwise transferring the funds held by the
custodian. See 17 CFR 1.31 and 23.203.

Confirmation, portfolio reconciliation,
and portfolio compression are important
post-trade processing mechanisms for
reducing risk and improving operational
efficiency. The information collection
obligations imposed by the regulations
are necessary to ensure that each SD and
MSP maintains the required records of
their business activities and an audit
trail sufficient to conduct
comprehensive and accurate trade
reconstruction. The information
collections contained in the regulations
are also essential to ensuring that SDs
and MSPs document their swaps,
reconcile their swap portfolios to
resolve discrepancies and disputes, and
wholly or partially terminate some or all
of their outstanding swaps through
regular portfolio compression exercises.
The collections of information are
mandatory.
With respect to the collections of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on:
• Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burdens of the proposed
collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burdens of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
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.8
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, for reasons such as obscene
language. All submissions that have
been redacted or removed that contain
comments on the merits of the
information collection request will be
retained in the public comment file and
will be considered as required under the
Administrative Procedure Act and other
applicable laws, and may be accessible
under the Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burdens for
the collections to reflect the current
number of respondents and estimated
burden hours. The respondent burdens
for the collections are estimated to be as
follows:
• OMB Control No. 3038–0068

I. Background
Executive Order 14008, ‘‘Tackling the
Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad,’’
charged the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) with creating a geospatial
Climate and Economic Justice Screening
Tool and publishing interactive maps
highlighting disadvantaged
communities that are marginalized,
underserved, and overburdened by
pollution. Federal agencies will use the
tool in implementation of the Justice40
Initiative goal of directing 40 percent of
the overall benefits of certain Federal
investments to disadvantaged
communities in climate, clean energy
and energy efficiency, clean transit,

Jkt 256001
affordable and sustainable housing,
training and workforce development,
clean water infrastructure, and the
remediation of legacy pollution. The
function of the tool is to employ
indicators for the purpose of identifying
communities that exhibit conditions of
underinvestment in energy, transit,
housing and water infrastructure,
disproportionate pollution burden, and
job training and employment. Agencies
will use the tool to guide program
investments in the areas noted above
under the Justice40 Initiative.
CEQ has developed a beta version of
the Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool, which is available at
https://screeningtool.geoplatform.gov.
Under the current methodology (v0.1) in
the Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool, a census tract will be
considered disadvantaged if (1) it is
above the threshold for one or more
climate or environmental indicator; and
(2) it is above the threshold for one or
more socioeconomic indicator. The
methodology and the datasets currently
being used are available at https://
screeningtool.geoplatform.gov/en/
methodology.
II. Key Questions for Input
Through this request for information,
CEQ seeks input, information, and
recommendations on the beta version of
the Climate and Economic Justice
Screening Tool from a broad array of
stakeholders in the public, private,
advocacy, not-for-profit, academic, and
philanthropic sectors, as well as from
state, Tribal, and local governments, and
territorial areas. In addition, users have
the opportunity to provide feedback
through an online survey available at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cejstsurvey. CEQ will use responses to this
RFI and comments received through the
online survey to consider potential
updates to the beta version of the
Climate and Economic Justice Screening
Tool. After CEQ has updated the tool
with any modifications that are deemed
necessary, Federal agencies will use the
Climate and Economic Justice Screening
Tool to implement the President’s
Justice40 commitment.1
Respondents to this RFI do not need
to address every question, but CEQ
seeks and welcomes input in the
following areas:
1 When the updated Climate and Economic
Justice Screening Tool is ready to be used by
agencies in their Justice40 implementation plans,
CEQ, OMB and CPO will together issue updated
guidance. Currently, the Interim Implementation
Guidance for the Justice40 Initiative, M–21–28,
issued on July 20, 2021, is still in effect. See https://
