SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined
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,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the Commission is
publishing notice of the proposed
extension of the existing 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.1
Title: Clearing Exemption for Swaps
Between Certain Affiliated Entities
(OMB Control No. 3038–0104). This is

Abstract: Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the
Commodity Exchange Act requires
certain entities to submit for clearing
certain swaps if they are required to be
cleared by the Commission.
Commission regulation 50.52 permits
certain affiliated entities to elect not to
clear inter-affiliate swaps that otherwise
would be required to be cleared,
provided that they meet certain
conditions. The rule further requires the
reporting of certain information if the
inter-affiliate exemption from clearing is
elected. The Commission will use the
information described in this collection
and reported pursuant to Commission
regulation 50.52 to monitor the use of
the inter-affiliate exemption from the
Commission’s swap clearing
requirement and to assess any potential
market risks associated with such
exemption.
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.
You should submit only information
that you wish to make available
publicly. If you wish for 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.

Title: Notification of Pending Legal
Proceedings Pursuant to 17 CFR 1.60
(OMB Control Number 3038–0033). This
is a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Rule 1.60 of the
Commission’s Part 1 regulations
requires every designated contract
market (‘‘DCM’’) and futures
commission merchant (‘‘FCM’’) to
submit to the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’)
certain specified information
concerning pending legal proceedings to
which the DCM or FCM is a party or to
which its property is subject. Rule 37.2
of the same part makes the requirement
of 1.60 applicable to swap execution
facilities (‘‘SEFs’’). This renewal
updates the total requested burden
based on available reported data.
The Commission originally estimated
that 101 entities would be affected by
this rule. That number was based on the
number of active registrants, including
62 FCMs,18 DCMs, and 21 SEFs.
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.2 On September 13,
2024, 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, 89
FR 74930 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission did not receive any
comments on the 60-Day Notice.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average 0.25 hours per response, once
annually. This estimate includes
providing the Commission with notice
and copies of specified legal documents.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
101.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 0.25.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 25.25.
Frequency of Collection: Once
annually.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.
