SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. The OMB 
control numbers for the Commission's regulations were published on 
December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981). The Federal 
Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on 
this collection of information was published on October 15, 2015 (80 FR 
62045).
    Title: Rules Relating to Review of National Futures Association 
Decisions in Disciplinary, Membership Denial, Registration, and Member 
Responsibility Actions (OMB Control No. 3038-0043). This is a request 
for extension of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: 17 CFR part 171 rules require a registered futures 
association to provide fair and orderly procedures for membership and 
disciplinary actions. The Commission's review of decisions of 
registered futures associations in disciplinary, membership denial, 
registration, and member responsibility actions is governed by Section 
17(h)(2) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 21(h)(2). The rules 
establish procedures and standards for Commission review of such 
actions, and the reporting requirements included in the procedural 
rules are either directly required by Section 17 of the Act or are 
necessary to the type of appellate review role Congress intended the 
Commission to undertake when it adopted that provision.
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average 1 hour per response. This estimate includes the 
time needed to transmit decisions of disciplinary, membership denial, 
registration, and member responsibility actions to the Commission for 
review. The estimated burden of 1 hour is determined by the following:
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Individuals or entities filing 
appeals from disciplinary and membership decisions by National Futures 
Association.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 3 hours.
    Frequency of collection: On occasion.
    There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs 
associated with this collection.

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

    Dated: December 18, 2015.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
