in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below. 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.
Title: Ownership and Control Reports,
Forms 102/102S, 40/40S, and 71 (Trader
and Account Identification Reports)
(OMB Control No. 3038–0103). This is
a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: The final rules 1 created new
information collection requirements via
§§ 17.01, 18.04, 18.05, and 20.5.
Specifically, § 17.01 provides for the
filing of Form 102A, Form 102B and
Form 71, as follows:
• Pursuant to § 17.01(a), futures
commission merchants (‘‘FCMs’’),
clearing members, and foreign brokers
shall identify new special accounts to
the Commission on Form 102A;
• Pursuant to § 17.01(b), clearing
members shall identify volume
threshold accounts to the Commission
on Form 102B; and
• Pursuant to § 17.01(c), omnibus
volume threshold account originators
and omnibus reportable sub-account
originators shall identify reportable
subaccounts to the Commission on
Form 71 when requested via a special
call by the Commission or its designee.
Additional reporting requirements
arise from § 18.04, which results in the
collection of information via Form 40
from and regarding traders who own,
hold, or control reportable positions;
volume threshold account controllers;
persons who own volume threshold
accounts; reportable sub-account
controllers; and persons who own
reportable sub-accounts.
Reporting requirements also arise
from § 20.5(a), which requires all
reporting entities to submit Form 102S
for swap counterparty or customer
consolidated accounts with reportable
1 See Final Rule, Ownership and Control Reports,
Forms 102/102S, 40/40S, and 71, 78 FR 69178

otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned to such terms in the final rules or in the
Commission’s regulations.

positions. In addition, § 20.5(b) requires
every person subject to books or records
under current § 20.6 to complete a 40S
filing after a special call upon such
person by the Commission.
In addition to the reporting
requirements summarized above,
§ 18.05 imposes recordkeeping
requirements upon: (1) Traders who
own, hold, or control a reportable
futures or options on futures position;
(2) volume threshold account
controllers; (3) persons who own
volume threshold accounts; (4)
reportable sub-account controllers; and
(5) persons who own reportable
subaccounts.
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
All comments must be submitted in
English, or if not, accompanied by an
English translation. Comments will be
posted as received to https://
www.cftc.gov. You should submit only
information that you wish to make
available publicly. If you wish the
Commission to consider information
that you believe is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, a petition for
confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.2
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from https://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the Information Collection
Request will be retained in the public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

X).
OMB Control Number: 3170–0016.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector:
business or other for-profits, not-forprofit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12,506.
Estimated Total Annual Burden

Abstract: Regulation X 1 implements
the Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act (RESPA).2 Regulation X contains
information collections in the form of
various disclosure and recordkeeping
requirements. The disclosures in this
collection are required by the statute

Consumers use the disclosures required
by RESPA and Regulation X to inform
their choice of settlement service
providers, review the final terms of a
settlement, understand whom to contact
about questions concerning their
mortgage loan, and identify/protect
themselves against inaccurate or
questionable loan servicing practices.
Regulation X requires these
information collections. However, to the
extent that compliance with
requirements in Regulation Z 3 provides
an exemption from compliance with
similar requirements in Regulation X,
any relevant information collection
burden is accounted for in OMB Control
Number 3170–0015.
