SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a request for extension of a

    Title: ``Process for Review of Swaps for Mandatory Clearing,'' (OMB

    Abstract: The Commodity Exchange Act and Commission regulations 
require a derivatives clearing organization (``DCO'') that wishes to 
accept a swap for clearing to be eligible to clear the swap and to 
submit the swap to the Commission for a determination as to whether the 
swap is required to be cleared. Commission Regulation 39.5 sets forth 
the process for these submissions. The Commission uses the information 
in this collection to determine whether a DCO that wishes to accept a 
swap for clearing is eligible to clear the swap and whether the swap 
should be required to be cleared.
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average 40 hours per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Derivatives clearing organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 14.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 560 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

    Dated: July 1, 2015.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
