0104). This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
information collection.
    Abstract: Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the Commodity Exchange Act requires 
certain entities to submit for clearing certain swaps if they are 
required to be cleared by the Commission. Rule 50.52 permits certain 
affiliated entities to elect not to clear certain inter-affiliate swaps 
that otherwise would be required to be cleared, provided that they meet 
certain conditions. The rule further requires the reporting of certain 
information if the exemption is elected. This collection pertains to 
information the Commission needs to monitor use of the exemption and 
assess market risk in connection therewith. The collections of 
information are required to obtain the exemption. 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 Commission did not receive any comments on the 60-
day Federal Register notice, 81 FR 11762, dated March 7, 2016.
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to require one hour per response.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap dealers and other multinational 
corporations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 75.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 1 hour.
    Estimated Total Average Annual Burden Hours on Respondents: 75 
hours.
    Frequency of Collection: Annually; 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: May 4, 2016.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
