SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Registration under the Commodity Exchange Act (OMB Control
No. 3038-0023). This is a request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: The information collected under OMB Control No. 3038-0023
is gathered through the use of forms for registration of firms and
individuals who are required by the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') to
register with the Commission. The CEA requires commodity interest
market intermediaries and participants to register, including: Futures
commission merchants and introducing brokers (7 U.S.C. 6d); Commodity
pool operators and commodity trading advisors (7 U.S.C. 6m(1)); Retail
foreign exchange dealers (7 U.S.C. 2(c)); Associated persons (7 U.S.C.
6k); Floor traders or floor brokers (7 U.S.C. 6e); and Swap dealers and
major swap participants (7 U.S.C. 6s(a)). The CFTC uses various forms
for registration (and withdrawal therefrom) (the ``Registration
Forms''). OMB Control No. 3038-0023 applies to the Registration Forms
for registration of persons other than swap dealers and major swap
participants.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Forms for registration of swap dealers and major swap
participants are the subject of a separate information collection
(OMB Control Number 3038-0072).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. On December 5, 2025, 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, 90 FR 56137 (``60-Day Notice''). The Commission
did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission is revising its burden estimate
for this collection to reflect its estimate of the current number of
CFTC registrants subject to the registration requirements of Part 3 of
the Commission's regulations. The respondent burden for this collection
is estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 55,561.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,726 hours.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.
(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
Dated: February 5, 2026.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
