Advisory Committee was established by
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, Public Law
111–203, and subsequently codified in
the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C.
1 et seq., at 7 U.S.C. 2(a)(15), and is not
subject to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 1001 et
seq. The Agricultural Advisory
Committee, Global Markets Advisory
Committee, Market Risk Advisory
Committee, and the Technology
Advisory Committee are discretionary
committees under the FACA. The
Commission also establishes
subcommittees that report to advisory
committees as needed. Advisory
committee and subcommittee members
are generally representatives, but
depending on the issues to be
addressed, the Commission will appoint
special government employees and
officials from other federal agencies
from time to time. Representatives
provide the viewpoints of entities or
recognizable groups, and they are
expected to represent a particular and
known bias. On the other hand, special
government employees are expected to
provide their own independent
judgment in committee deliberations
and are expected to discuss and
deliberate in a manner that is free from
conflicts of interest.2 Advisory
committee and subcommittee members
generally serve 2, 3 or 4-year terms, and
appointments are made following the
establishment of a new subcommittee or
as committee or subcommittee
vacancies arise.
The CFTC identifies candidates for
advisory committee and subcommittee
membership through a variety of
methods, including public requests for
nominations; recommendations from
existing advisory committee members;
consultations with knowledgeable
persons outside the CFTC (industry,
consumer groups, other state or federal
government agencies, academia, etc.);
requests to be represented received from
individuals and organizations; and
Commissioners’ and CFTC staff’s
professional knowledge of those
experienced in the derivatives and
underlying commodities markets.
Following the identification process, the
CFTC develops a list of proposed
members with the relevant points of
view needed to ensure membership
balance. The Commission then votes to
appoint individuals, or specified
organizations, to serve.3
2 18
U.S.C. 202(a).
A to subpart C of 41 CFR 102–3, the
Federal Advisory Committee Management Final
Rule notes that the FACA does not specify the
manner in which advisory committee members
must be appointed.

The collection of information is
necessary to support the CFTC Advisory
Committee Program which includes
committees, most of which are governed
by the FACA, and subcommittees that
report directly to the CFTC FACA
committees, as noted above. Pursuant to
the FACA, an agency must ensure that
a committee is balanced with respect to
the viewpoints represented and the
functions to be performed by that
committee. Consistent with this, in
order to select individuals for potential
membership on an advisory committee,
the CFTC must determine that potential
members are qualified to serve on an
advisory committee and that the
viewpoints are properly balanced on the
committee. The CFTC is also required to
ensure that committee members are
properly designated as special
government employees or
representatives.4 While CFTC
subcommittees are not subject to the
FACA, the selection process for
subcommittee members who are not
already serving on the parent committee
is similar to that of new committee
members. Additionally, the agency
follows similar member selection
procedures for the agency’s non-FACA
committee.
CFTC staff would use the information
collected to determine the experience
and expertise of potential advisory
committee and subcommittee members,
ensure that the membership on a
committee or subcommittee is balanced,
and ensure that committee and
subcommittee members are properly
designated as representatives or special
government employees.
The CFTC seeks to collect the
following information: Information that
supports an individual’s experience and
expertise to serve on an advisory
committee or subcommittee, including
letters of interest, recommendation
letters, nomination letters (including
self-nominations), resumes, curriculum
vitae or other similar biographical
information document. Additionally,
information that ensures membership
balance (e.g., represented viewpoint
category) and appropriate designation of
an individual as either a representative
or special government employee.
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.5 On May 17, 2022, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register a notice of a proposed

Needs and Uses: This study will use
focus groups discussions with Soldiers
and leaders (i.e., Soldiers in command
positions) to gain a deeper
understanding of what Soldiers actually
experience during sexual harassment
(SH) and gender discrimination (GD)
events than can be gleaned from
quantitative survey data. Focus group
discussions will focus on environmental
factors that contribute to SH/GD,
including the general climate and
culture in Army units that may
contribute to or prevent these behaviors
from occurring. Results of this study
will help the Army to identify critical
gaps in current prevention training
efforts and materials from a diverse
range of perspectives (i.e., inclusive of
differing rank/grade levels, by gender).
Analysis of qualitative data collected
through focus group discussions will
produce foundational knowledge to
enable evidence-based implementation

Commission on Sexual Assault in the
Military (IRC) Recommendations 2.3
(‘‘Implement community-level
prevention strategies unique to Service
members’ environments.’’) and 2.3a
(‘‘The Services and the National Guard
Bureau should resource and implement
prevention strategies at organizational
and community levels,’’ under POAM
milestones 7–15) in the Army. Study
findings are also directly related to a
number of additional IRC
recommendations, including
Recommendations 2.1c/2.4/3.2/3.5/3.5a/
3.5b/3.6/4.4c/4.4d.
Qualitative data will be collected via
focus groups of active-duty Soldiers
(under the rank of flag officer) across six
CONUS installations. These focus
groups cover a number of topics
including unit members’ understanding
of what behaviors constitute SH and GD;
factors that contribute to the climate for
SH and GD (i.e., risk and protective
factors); reporting and intervention by
unit members and leaders; and
recommendations for what Army
prevention training should include.
Focus groups will be conducted
separately for men and women, officers
and enlisted, and by rank (junior, midlevel, and senior). There are a total of
six focus group protocols: junior
enlisted/officer (E1–E4/O1–O2), midlevel enlisted/officer (E5–E6/O3–O4),
and senior enlisted/officer (E7–E9/O5–
O6). These focus groups are intended to
be 60 minutes. A 30-minute discussion
protocol tailored to installation
commanders (generally at the O6 level)
is also included.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 19, 2009, a final rule was
published in the Federal Register at 74
FR 59914, which amended the Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) subpart 208.6 to
implement section 827 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2008 (Pub. L. 110–181). Section
827 changed DoD competition
requirements for purchases from Federal
Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) by requiring
DoD to publish an annual list of product
categories for which FPI’s share of the
DoD market was greater than five

year data available. Product categories
on the current list, and the products
within each identified product category,
must be procured using competitive or
fair opportunity procedures in
accordance with DFARS 208.602–70.
The Principal Director, Defense
Pricing and Contracting (DPC), issued a
memorandum dated April 25, 2023, that
provided the current list of product
categories for which FPI’s share of the
DoD market is greater than five percent
based on fiscal year 2022 data from the
