SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or 
sponsor. ``Collection of Information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) 
and 5 CFR 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 collection of information listed below. 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.
    Title: Response to Notification of Termination of Exemptive Relief 
Issued Pursuant to Regulation 30.10 (OMB Control No. 3038-0116). This 
is a request for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: Commission regulation 30.10 provides a process by which 
persons located outside the U.S. and subject to a comparable regulatory 
structure in the jurisdiction in which they are located to seek an 
exemption from certain of the requirements under Part 30 of the 
Commission's regulations. Regulation 30.10 codifies the process by 
which the Commission may terminate such exemptive relief after 
appropriate notice and opportunity to respond. Regulation 30.10(c)(3) 
provides any party affected by the Commission's determination to 
terminate relief with the opportunity to respond to the notification in 
writing no later than 30 business days following the receipt of the 
notification, or at such time as the Commission permits in writing. 
These reporting requirements are necessary for the ongoing evaluation 
of the effectiveness of the Commission's program for regulatory 
deference.
    With respect to the collection of information, the CFTC invites 
comments on:
     Whether the proposed collection of information is 
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 burden of 
the proposed collection 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 burden 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.
    All comments must be submitted in English, or if not, accompanied 
by an English translation. Comments will be posted as received to 
https://www.cftc.gov. You should submit only information that you wish 
to make available publicly. If you wish the Commission to consider

Freedom of Information Act, a petition for confidential treatment of 
the exempt information may be submitted according to the procedures 
established in Sec.  145.9 of the Commission's regulations.\1\
