Commodity Futures Trading Commission April 28, 2017 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or the ``Commission'') is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed revision to the collection of certain information by the Commission. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA''), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information and to allow 60 days for public comment. The Commission revised its Form 8-R, the application form that individuals use to register with the Commission or to be listed as a principal. This notice solicits comments on the PRA implications of the revisions to Form 8-R, including comments that address the burdens associated with the modified information collection requirements of the revised Form 8-R. Additionally, this notice also solicits comments on the PRA implications of reassigning the burdens associated with the information collections requirements of Commission Form 3-R, which is no longer used, to Commission Forms 7-R and 8-R.
