SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: ``Commodity Pool Operators and Commodity Trading Advisors: 
Amendments to Compliance Obligations,'' OMB Control No. 3038-0023--
Extension. This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
information collection.
    Abstract: Pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended by the 
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank 
Act''), Pub. L. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010), the Commodity Futures 
Trading Commission promulgated rules and forms relating to registration 
with the Commission applicable to intermediaries, and employees and 
principals thereof, operating in the futures, options, swaps, and 
retail forex markets. There were no new requirements imposed; however, 
due to amendments to the Commodity Exchange Act made by the Dodd-Frank 
Act, there was an increase in registrants in certain registration 
categories. 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 
CFTC'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 December 16, 2014 (79 FR 241). No comments have been 
received.
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average 0.09 hours per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: 77,857.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 78,109.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 7,029.8 hours.
    Frequency of collection: Periodically.

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

    Dated: February 13, 2015.

Secretary of the Commission.
