Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 86638 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Notices 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).2 The regulations also include special certification provisions (§ 40.10) for certain rules submitted by systemically important DCOs (‘‘SIDCOs’’). On October 3, 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 68112 (‘‘60Day Notice’’). The Commission did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice that addressed its PRA burden estimates. Respondents/Affected Entities: Designated Contract Markets, Swap Execution Facilities, Derivatives Clearing Organizations, and Swap Data Repositories. Burden Statement: OMB Control Number 3038–0093 reflects the 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. 2 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. See 17 CFR 150.9(a). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:39 Dec 13, 2023 Jkt 262001 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 Estimated Hours per Response: 50. Estimated Total Hours per Year: 100. There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection. 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).

Title of Collection: Revised Second Chance Pell Experiment and Prison Education Program (PEP) Data Collection. OMB Control Number: 1845–NEW. Type of Review: A new ICR. Respondents/Affected Public: Private sector; State, local, and Tribal governments. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 675. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 6,750. Abstract: This is a request for a new information collection to collect programmatic and student information from participating institutions. This collection will cover the required statutory reporting for both the revised Second Chance Pell experiment and Prison Education Programs (PEPs) for confined or incarcerated individuals. Since schools participating in the Second Chance Pell experiment have three years to transition their programs under the experiment to comply with the PEP requirements, the data collected for the experiment and the PEP provisions is almost identical. The only difference is the specific information collected from institutions participating in the Second Chance Pell to provide a status of their progress in converting their current programs under the experiment to be in compliance with the PEP provisions.
