SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Registration of Foreign Boards of Trade (OMB Control No.
3038-0101). This is a request for extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 738 of the Dodd-Frank Act amended section 4(b) of
the Commodity Exchange Act to provide that the Commission may adopt
rules and regulations requiring foreign boards of trade (FBOT) that
wish to provide their members or other participants located in the
United States with direct access to the FBOT's electronic trading and
order matching system to register with the Commission. Pursuant to this
authorization, the CFTC adopted a final rule requiring FBOTs that wish
to permit trading by direct access to provide certain information to
the Commission in applications for registration and, once registered,
to provide certain information to meet quarterly and annual reporting
requirements. Currently, Part 48 of the Commission's regulations sets
forth reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements to ensure registered
FBOTs providing for trading by direct access meet statutory and
regulatory requirements on an initial and ongoing basis.
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 February 9, 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 5729 (``60-Day Notice''). The Commission
did not receive any relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement Collection 3038-0101--Registration of Foreign
Boards of Trade (17 CFR Part 48). The Commission is revising its
estimate of the burden for this collection for registered FBOTs. The
Commission's estimate of the total number of
[[Page 27307]]
registered FBOTs that are required to make reports quarterly and
annually has increased from 24 to 25. This reflects an increase in the
total number of FBOTs registered with the Commission.
The Commission is also updating its estimate of the average burden
hour per response associated with reporting under this collection. This
update is based on the Commission's experience with reporting during
the life of the collection. Based on this experience, the Commission
estimates that burden per response for the submission of required
reports varies from 0.5 hours to eight hours. These estimates include
the time to locate, compile, validate, verify, and disclose and to
ensure such information is maintained.
The respondent burden for this collection is estimated to be as
follows :\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The Commission had estimated in the 60-Day Notice that the
burden hours associated with this collection totaled 4,774. The
Commission has updated its burden estimates based on its experience
with this collection and its review of associated burdens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 204 hours (rounded).
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,097 hours.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion; quarterly or annually for
required reports.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: May 12, 2026.
Robert Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
