    Title: Rules Relating to Regulation of Domestic Exchange-Traded 
Options, OMB Control Number 3038-0007--Extension.
    Abstract: The rules require futures commission merchants and 
introducing brokers: (1) To provide their customers with standard risk 
disclosure statements concerning the risk of trading commodity 
interests; and (2) to retain all promotional material and the source of 
authority for information contained therein. The purpose of these rules 
is to ensure that customers are advised of the risks of trading 
commodity interests and to avoid fraud and misrepresentation. This 
information collection contains the recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements needed to ensure regulatory compliance with Commission 
rules relating to this issue.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the Commission's 
regulations were published on December 30, 1981.\2\
