SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Response to Notification of Termination of Exemptive Relief
Issued Pursuant to Regulation 30.10 (OMB Control No. 3038-0116). This
is a request for extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Commission regulation 30.10 provides a process by which
persons located outside the U.S. and subject to a comparable regulatory
structure in the jurisdiction in which they are located to seek an
exemption from certain of the requirements under Part 30 of the
Commission's regulations. Regulation 30.10 codifies the process by
which the Commission may terminate such exemptive relief after
appropriate notice and opportunity to respond. Regulation 30.10(c)(3)
provides any party affected by the Commission's determination to
terminate relief with the opportunity to respond to the notification in
writing no later than 30 business days following the receipt of the
notification, or at such time as the Commission permits in writing.
These reporting requirements are necessary for the ongoing evaluation
of the effectiveness of the Commission's program for regulatory
deference.
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.\1\ On January 21, 2026, 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, 91 FR 2523 (``60-Day
Notice''). The Commission did not receive any relevant comments on the
60-Day Notice.
