SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Gross Collection of ExchangeSet Margins for Omnibus Accounts (OMB Control No. 3038–0026). This is a request for extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: Commission Regulation 1.58 requires futures commission merchants to collect exchange-set margin for omnibus accounts on a gross, rather than a net, basis. The regulation provides that the carrying FCM need not collect margin for positions traded by a person through an omnibus account in excess of the amount that would be required if the same person, instead of trading through an omnibus account, maintained its own account with the carrying FCM. To prevent abuse of this exception to the regulation, a carrying FCM must maintain a written representation from the originating FCM or foreign broker that the particular positions held in the omnibus account are part of a hedge or spread transaction. This collection of information is necessary in order to provide documentation that can be inspected with regard to questions of proper compliance with gross margining requirements. This rule is promulgated pursuant to the Commission’s rulemaking authority contained in Sections 4c, 4d, 4f, 4g and 8a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 6c, 6d, 6f, 6g and 12a. 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. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on November 17, 2023 (88 FR 80284) (‘‘60Day 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 due to the reduced number of futures commission merchants in the industry. The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows: Respondents/Affected Entities: 52. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 208. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 17 hours. Frequency of collection: On occasion. VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:02 Jan 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection.
