SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Registration of Foreign Boards of Trade (OMB Control No. 3038–0101). This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: Section 738 of the DoddFrank Act amended section 4(b) of the Commodity Exchange Act to provide that the Commission may adopt rules and regulations requiring foreign boards of trade (FBOT) that wish to provide their members or other participants located in the United States with direct access to the FBOT’s electronic trading and order matching system to register with the Commission. Pursuant to this authorization, the CFTC adopted a final rule requiring FBOTs that wish to permit trading by direct access to provide certain information to the Commission in applications for registration and, once registered, to provide certain information to meet quarterly and annual reporting requirements. Currently, Part 48 of the Commission’s regulations sets forth reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements to ensure registered FBOTs providing for trading by direct access meet statutory and regulatory requirements on an initial and ongoing basis. 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 January 13, 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 2345 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The Commission did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice. Burden Statement: The Commission is revising its estimate of the burden for this collection for registered FBOTs, by increasing the number of FBOTs to which the burden applies from 23 to 24 FBOTs. The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 24. Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 360 and 1⁄3 hours. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 8,648 hours. Frequency of Collection: When a reportable event occurs and quarterly and annually for required reports. E:\FR\FM\25APN1.SGM 25APN1
