The Part 20 Reporting Rules for
physical commodity swaps, in conjunction with the Commission’s
current large trader reporting system for commodity futures and
options, are used by the Commission to support its market,
financial and trading abuse surveillance programs. Swaps position
reports represent a critical component for the implementation of an
effective surveillance-based regulatory approach that includes
market, financial and trading surveillance programs.

The extension is updating the
total burden based on reported data. The number of affected firms
has been updated in this collection and they total 4,824
respondents (comprised of 1 clearing organization, 67 clearing
member and swap dealer reporting entities and 4,756 firms that
would hold reportable accounts in swaps). The number of respondents
and the time required per response directly correlates to the
changes in the burden totals of this collection renewal. The
pending renewal is correcting a computational error made in ROCIS
in the previous renewal of the collection regarding the total
number of responses. The total number of responses entered in ROCIS
should have been 88,768 (as indicated in the 2014 supporting
statement and the amended 30-Day FRN filed by the CFTC on
12/14/14), instead of the recorded 3,998 – which was the total
annual number of respondents. For the pending renewal, the total
number of respondents has now increased to 4,824 (from 3,998 in
2014) and the total annual number of responses has decreased to
38,408 (from 88,768 in 2014). The reduction in the number of
responses has caused the total burden hours also to decrease.
