The CFTC requests approval for the
extension of the information collections associated with Commission
Rule 21.02 (17 CFR 21.02), relating to Market Surveys. Under
Commission Rule 21.02, upon call by the Commission, information
related to futures or options positions held or introduced by
futures commission merchants, members of contract markets,
introducing brokers, and foreign brokers and, for options
positions, must be furnished by each reporting market. This rule is
designed to assist the Commission in prevention of market
manipulation and is promulgated pursuant to the Commission’s
rulemaking authority contained in section 8a of the Commodity
Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 12 a (2010). The information is used
primarily by Surveillance and Market Analysts in order to fulfill
their market surveillance function. Additionally, the data is used
to provide a basis for reports to Congress as well as supporting
various research projects and reports from Commission economists
and analysts.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
