SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a request for an extension of a 
previously approved collection--Extension.
    Title: Large Trader Reports (OMB Control No. 3038-0009). This is a 
request for extension of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: The reporting rules covered by OMB control number 3038-
0009 (``the Collection'') are structured to ensure that the Commission 
receives adequate information to carry out its market and financial 
surveillance programs. The market surveillance programs analyze market 
information to detect and prevent market disruptions and enforce 
speculative position limits. The financial surveillance programs 
combine market information with financial data to assess the financial 
risks presented by large customer positions to Commission registrants 
and clearing organizations.
    Previously, all reporting rules contained in parts 15 through 19 
and 21 of the Commission's regulations were covered by the Collection; 
however, a recent rulemaking action relocated several recordkeeping and 
reporting burdens from this collection to a new collection, OMB Control 
Number 3038-0103. Specifically, that rulemaking appropriated the 
information collection burdens associated with Commission regulations 
Sec. Sec.  17.01, 18.04, and 18.05. Accordingly, this renewal will 
update the Collection's current burden estimates and officially remove 
the duplicative burdens from the Collection.
    The reporting rules are implemented by the Commission partly 
pursuant to the authority of sections 4a, 4c(b), 4g, and 4i of the 
Commodity Exchange Act (``Act''). Section 4a of the Act permits the 
Commission to set, approve exchange-set, and enforce speculative 
position limits. Section 4c(b) of the Act gives the Commission plenary 
authority to regulate transactions that involve commodity options. 
Section 4g of the Act imposes reporting and recordkeeping obligations 
on registered entities and registrants (including futures commission 
merchants, introducing brokers, floor brokers, or floor traders), and 
requires each registrant to file such reports as the Commission may 
require on proprietary and customer positions executed on any board of 
trade in the United States or elsewhere. Lastly, section 4i of the Act 
requires the filing of such reports as the Commission may require when 
positions made or obtained on designated contract markets or 
derivatives transaction execution facilities equal or exceed 
Commission-set levels.
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to be 0.26 hours per response, on average. These estimates 
include the time to locate the information related to the exemptions 
and to file necessary exemption paperwork.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Large Traders, Clearing Members, 
Contract Markets, and other entities affected by Commission regulations 
Sec. Sec.  16.00 and 17.00 as well as parts 19 and 21.
    Estimated number of respondents: 453.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 18,348 hours.
    Frequency of collection: Periodically.
    There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs 
associated with this collection.

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

    Dated: July 13, 2015.
