of the Commission’s regulations.1 The
Commission reserves the right, but shall
have no obligation, to review, prescreen, 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
ICR 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Andrew Stein, Assistant Chief Counsel,
Division of Market Oversight,
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission, (202) 418–6054, email:

Control No. 3038–0059.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Part 41 Relating to Security
Futures Products (OMB Control No.
3038–0059). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’), 7
U.S.C. 6d(c), requires the CFTC to
consult with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) and
issue such rules, regulations, or orders
as are necessary to avoid duplicative or
conflicting regulations applicable to
firms that are fully registered with the
SEC as brokers or dealers and the CFTC
as futures commission merchants,
involving provisions of the CEA that
pertain to the treatment of customer
funds. The CFTC, jointly with the SEC,
issued regulations requiring such
dually-registered firms to make choices
as to how its customers’ transactions in
security futures products will be treated,
either as securities transactions held in
a securities account or as futures
transactions held in a futures account.
How an account is treated is important
in the unlikely event of the insolvency
of the firm. Only securities accounts
receive insurance protection under
provisions of the Securities Investor
Protection Act. By contrast, only futures
accounts are subject to the protections
provided by the segregation
requirements of the CEA.
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 The Federal Register

Member Experiences with Family
Planning; OMB Control Number: 0704–
SMFP.
Needs and Uses: The recent Supreme
Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson
Women’s Health removed the
Constitutional right to abortion. In its
wake, several states banned or severely
restricted access to abortion, and several
more states are poised to do so. In
addition to restricting access to
abortion, the Dobbs decision raises
questions about miscarriage and
infertility care. Several of the states that
have severely restricted access to or
banned abortion are also home to large
military instillations. This raises
questions about service member access
to abortion care, as well as a range of
family planning options. There is little
existing research on service members’
experiences with family planning.
Building on prior experience
executing the DoD Women’s
Reproductive Health Survey (WRHS)
and other research on the health and
health behaviors of service members
(e.g., the Health Related Behaviors
Survey [HRBS]), RAND National
Defense Research Institute (NDRI) will
conduct a series of focus groups with
men and women across DoD service
branches (Air Force, Army, Marine
Corps, Navy, and Space Force) to
augment this survey data and better
understand how service members
experience family planning both within
the Military Health System and via
community providers. These focus
groups will also gather information on
service members’ experiences with any
new policies that the DoD unveils in
response to the Dobbs decision.
This study will highlight areas related
to family planning that may threaten the
DoD’s ability to field a ready and lethal
force. It will also point to areas where
DoD may need to augment or develop
care, programs, services, or policies that
provide needed reproductive health care
and family planning services to the
force in order to maintain and enhance
health, readiness, retention, and
lethality.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Annual Burden Hours: 4,800.
Number of Respondents: 4,800.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 4,800.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
Frequency: Once.
The purpose of the data collection
effort is to better understand service
members experiences with family
planning services provided by both DoD
and community providers. Respondents
include approximately 4,800 active duty
service members from all service

branches (below the rank of flag officer)
at 24 CONUS installations. Data will be
collected via 60-minute focus group.
These focus groups will be in-person,
conducted separately by gender (i.e.,
men vs women) and rank (i.e., E1–E4,
E5–E6, E7–E9/W1–W5, O1–O3, O4–O5,
O6). Each group will be led by one
facilitator and include one notetaker.
Consent will be obtained verbally at the
beginning of each session and each
participant will receive an information
sheet containing the consent
information. A recruitment flyer will be
used to assist installation POCs with
recruitment.
Dedicated notetakers will take
verbatim notes during each focus group
and discussion. These notes will be
immediately cleaned to remove any
identifying information (e.g., names,
titles). Notes will be entered into a
COTS software package for analyzing
qualitative data (e.g., NVivo) and will be
stored on RAND-issued laptops and
RAND servers, both of which require
two-factor authentication. A Data Safety
Plan has been approved for the study.
A six-item post-focus group survey
will also be given to participants. The
purpose is to collect sociodemographic
and military characteristics that will be
used to understand the
representativeness of participants
compared to the larger active-duty force.
The survey will be paper-and-pencil
and is anonymous. It should take no
more than two minutes to complete.
Data from the survey will be handentered into Excel and analyzed using
the same software.
