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
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: Part 40, Provisions Common to
Registered Entities (OMB Control No.
3038–0093). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: This collection of
information involves the collection and
submission to the Commission of
information from registered entities
concerning new products, rules, and
rule amendments pursuant to the
procedures outlined in §§ 40.2, 40.3,
40.5, 40.6, and 40.10 found in 17 CFR
part 40. Part 40 of the Commission’s
regulations implements section 5c(c) of
the CEA and sets forth provisions that
are common to registered entities,
including designated contract markets
(‘‘DCMs’’), derivatives clearing
organizations (‘‘DCOs’’), swap execution
facilities (‘‘SEFs’’) and swap data
repositories (‘‘SDRs’’). Part 40
establishes requirements and
procedures for registered entities to
submit information about their rules
and products to the Commission prior to
implementing rules, listing products for
trading, or accepting products for
clearing. Part 40 generally provides two
means for registered entities to submit
rules and products to the Commission.
Typically, a registered entity elects to
certify that their product (§ 40.2) or rule
(§ 40.6) complies with the CEA and the
Commission regulations. This process is
known as self-certification.
Alternatively, a registered entity may
seek Commission approval of the

product (§ 40.3) or rule (§ 40.5).1 The
regulations also include special
certification provisions (§ 40.10) for
certain rules submitted by systemically
important DCOs (‘‘SIDCOs’’).
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
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 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.2
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, 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: OMB Control
Number 3038–0093 reflects the
1 Commission regulations may expressly or
impliedly trigger the requirement for a registered
entity to make a submission pursuant to part 40. For
example, the Commission’s part 150 regulation on
position limits contains an express requirement to
make a § 40.5 rule filing in certain circumstances.

information collection burden under
Commission regulations associated with
product filings (§§ 40.2 and 40.3); rule
filings (§§ 40.5 and 40.6); and SIDCO
filings (§ 40.10). As part of this renewal,
the Commission has updated its burden
estimates to reflect current filing
volumes and burden hours.
Provisions Common to Regulated
Entities IC
The Commission estimates the
average burden of the Provisions
Common to Regulated Entities IC as
follows:
• Product Submissions (§ 40.2 and 40.3)
Estimated Number of Respondents:
70.3
Annual Responses by each
Respondent: 12.4
Estimated Hours per Response: 21.5
Estimated Total Hours per Year:
17,640.
• Rule Submissions (§§ 40.5 and 40.6)
Estimated Number of Respondents:
70.6
Annual Responses by each
Respondent: 20.7
Estimated Hours per Response: 2.
Estimated Total Hours per Year:
2,800.
• SIDCO Submissions (§ 40.10)
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.
Annual Responses by each
Respondent: 1.8
3 The estimated number of 70 respondents
includes 16 active DCMs, 23 registered SEFs, 15
registered DCOs, 5 provisionally registered SDRs,
plus pending applications for those entities.
4 The 3-year average of total responses for §§ 40.2
and 40.3 submissions combined was 848 responses,
calculated by taking the annual total submissions
received under §§ 40.2 and 40.3 combined from all
entities and averaging them for the years of 2020,
2021 and 2022. The estimated number of reports
per respondent is calculated as 848 responses
divided by 70 respondents (848 responses/70
respondents = 12 responses per respondent).
5 The 21-hour estimate for product submissions
reflects industry comments received in 2018. See 83
FR 43855, 43856 (Aug. 28, 2018); Supporting
Statement at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=201808-3038-003.
6 See supra n.3.
7 The 3-year average of total responses for §§ 40.5
and 40.6 submissions combined was 1,412
responses, calculated by taking the annual total
submissions received under §§ 40.5 and 40.6
combined from all entities and averaging them for
the years of 2020, 2021 and 2022. The estimated
number of reports per respondent is calculated as
1,412 responses divided by 70 respondents (1,412
responses/70 respondents = 20 responses per
respondent).
8 The 3-year average of total responses for § 40.10
submissions was 2, calculated by taking the annual
total submissions received under § 40.10 from all
SIDCOs and averaging them for the years of 2020,
2021 and 2022. The average number of reports per
respondent is 1, calculated as 2 responses divided
by 2 respondents (2 responses/2 respondents = 1
response per respondent).

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of
records notice.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended,
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB) provides notice that it is
rescinding CFPB.007 CFPB Directory
Database from its inventory of record
systems. The system of records provided
the CFPB with a single, agency-wide
repository of identifying and registration
information concerning entities offering
or providing, or materially assisting in
the offering or provision of, consumer
financial products or services. The
CFPB is rescinding this system of
records notice because this system is not
currently maintained by CFPB, thereby
making the system of records notice
unnecessary.
DATES: Comments must be received no
later than November 2, 2023. The
modified system of records will be
effective November 13, 2023 unless the
comments received result in a contrary
determination.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

document in an alternative electronic
format, please contact CFPB_
Accessibility@cfpb.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFPB
replaced the Directory Database with a
central repository of entity business
information that does not maintain
individual-level information. Directory
Database is therefore currently obsolete,
no longer maintained by CFPB, and no
longer meets the definition of a system
of records under the Privacy Act.
Accordingly, the CFPB reasonably
believes that rescinding this System of
Records Notice will have little effect on
individuals’ privacy. Rescindment of
this System of Records Notice will also
promote the overall streamlining and
management of Privacy Act record
systems for the CFPB.

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 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: Part 40, Provisions Common to Registered Entities (OMB
Control No. 3038-0093). This is a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: This collection of information involves the collection
and submission to the Commission of information from registered
entities concerning new products, rules, and rule amendments pursuant
to the procedures outlined in Sec. Sec. 40.2, 40.3, 40.5, 40.6, and
40.10 found in 17 CFR part 40. Part 40 of the Commission's regulations
implements section 5c(c) of the CEA and sets forth provisions that are
common to registered entities, including designated contract markets
(``DCMs''), derivatives clearing organizations (``DCOs''), swap
execution facilities (``SEFs'') and swap data repositories (``SDRs'').
Part 40 establishes requirements and procedures for registered entities
to submit information about their rules and products to the Commission
prior to implementing rules, listing products for trading, or accepting
products for clearing. Part 40 generally provides two means for
registered entities to submit rules and products to the Commission.
Typically, a registered entity elects to certify that their product
(Sec. 40.2) or rule (Sec. 40.6) complies with the CEA and the
Commission regulations. This process is known as self-certification.
Alternatively, a registered entity may seek Commission approval of the
product (Sec. 40.3) or rule (Sec. 40.5).\1\ The regulations also
include special certification provisions (Sec. 40.10) for certain
rules submitted by systemically important DCOs (``SIDCOs'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Commission regulations may expressly or impliedly trigger
the requirement for a registered entity to make a submission
pursuant to part 40. For example, the Commission's part 150
regulation on position limits contains an express requirement to
make a Sec. 40.5 rule filing in certain circumstances. See 17 CFR
150.9(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
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 Sec. 145.9 of the Commission's regulations.\2\

information collection burden under Commission regulations associated
with product filings (Sec. Sec. 40.2 and 40.3); rule filings

Provisions Common to Regulated Entities IC
The Commission estimates the average burden of the Provisions
Common to Regulated Entities IC as follows:
Product Submissions (Sec. 40.2 and 40.3)
Estimated Number of Respondents: 70.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The estimated number of 70 respondents includes 16 active
DCMs, 23 registered SEFs, 15 registered DCOs, 5 provisionally
registered SDRs, plus pending applications for those entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual Responses by each Respondent: 12.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ The 3-year average of total responses for Sec. Sec. 40.2
and 40.3 submissions combined was 848 responses, calculated by
taking the annual total submissions received under Sec. Sec. 40.2
and 40.3 combined from all entities and averaging them for the years
of 2020, 2021 and 2022. The estimated number of reports per
respondent is calculated as 848 responses divided by 70 respondents
(848 responses/70 respondents = 12 responses per respondent).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Hours per Response: 21.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ The 21-hour estimate for product submissions reflects
industry comments received in 2018. See 83 FR 43855, 43856 (Aug. 28,
2018); Supporting Statement at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=201808-3038-003.

taking the annual total submissions received under Sec. Sec. 40.5
and 40.6 combined from all entities and averaging them for the years
of 2020, 2021 and 2022. The estimated number of reports per
