SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Larger Trader Reports, (OMB Control No. 3038–0009). This is a 1 17 PO 00000 Fmt 4703 request for extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: The reporting rules covered by OMB control number 3038–0009 (‘‘the Collection’’) are structured to ensure that the Commission receives adequate information to carry out its market and financial surveillance programs. The market surveillance programs analyze market information to detect and prevent market disruptions and enforce speculative position limits. The financial surveillance programs combine market information with financial data to assess the financial risks presented by large customer positions to Commission registrants and clearing organizations. The reporting rules are implemented by the Commission partly pursuant to the authority of sections 4a, 4c(b), 4g, and 4i of the Commodity Exchange Act. Section 4a of the Act permits the Commission to set, approve exchange set, and enforce speculative position limits. Section 4c(b) of the Act gives the Commission plenary authority to regulate transactions that involve commodity options. Section 4g of the Act imposes reporting and recordkeeping obligations on registered entities and registrants (including futures commission merchants, introducing brokers, floor brokers, or floor traders), and requires each registrant to file such reports as the Commission may require on proprietary and customer positions executed on any board of trade in the United States or elsewhere. Lastly, section 4i of the Act requires the filing of such reports as the Commission may require when positions made or obtained on designated contract markets or derivatives transaction execution facilities equal or exceed Commission set levels. 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.2 On January 20, 2023, 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, 88 FR 3720 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The Commission received one relevant comment from Mangat Analytics, which recommended that large trader reports should specify by name who are the large traders and commercial hedgers. The Commission has determined to not require reporting entities to provide such information. 2 44 U.S.C. 3512, 5 CFR 1320.5(b)(2)(i) and 1320.8(b)(3)(vi). CFR 145.9.

Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be 0.25 hour per response, on average. These estimates include the time to locate the information related to the exemptions and to file necessary exemption paperwork. There are approximately 72,644 responses annually, thus the estimated total annual burden on respondents is 18,512 hours.

For printed material requests, the standard U.S. Postal Service shipping timeline will apply. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The beddown of the B–21 will take place through a series of beddowns at three Main Operating Bases (MOBs), referred to as MOB 1, MOB 2, and MOB 3. The candidate MOB locations were determined through the DAF’s Strategic Basing Process (Air Force Instruction [AFI] 10–503, Strategic Basing), which identified Dyess AFB in Texas, Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota, and Whiteman AFB in Missouri as potential installations to beddown the B–21 Raider. The B–21 will operate under the direction of the Air Force Global Strike Command. The purpose of the Proposed Action is to implement the goals of the National Defense Strategy by modernizing the United States bomber fleet capabilities. The B–21 Raider is being developed to carry conventional payloads and to support the nuclear triad by providing a visible and flexible nuclear deterrent capability that will assure allies and partners through the United States’ commitment to international treaties. MOB 2 will support training of crewmembers and personnel in the operation and maintenance of the B–21 aircraft in an appropriate geographic location that can provide sufficient airfield, facilities, infrastructure, and airspace to support the B–21 training and operations. In 2021, the DAF completed the B–21 MOB 1 Beddown at Dyess, AFB Texas or Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota EIS (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘MOB 1 EIS’’). On June 3, 2021, the DAF signed a Record of Decision (ROD) for the MOB 1 EIS and selected Ellsworth AFB as the MOB 1 location. Because the DAF chose Ellsworth AFB for MOB 1, the EIS for MOB 2/MOB 3 will evaluate potential environmental consequences associated with the remaining two alternative bases: Dyess AFB or Whiteman AFB.
