SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Notice of Intent to Renew Collection, Market Surveys (OMB 
Control No. 3038-0017). This is a request for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    Abstract: Under Commission Rule 21.02, upon call by the Commission, 
information must be furnished related to futures or options positions 
held or introduced by futures commission merchants, members of contract 
markets, introducing brokers, and foreign brokers and, for options 
positions, by each reporting market. This rule is designed to assist 
the Commission in prevention of market manipulation and is promulgated 
pursuant to the Commission's rulemaking authority contained in section 
8a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 12a (2010).
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to be as follows:

                                        Estimated Annual Reporting Burden
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 Annual number    Frequency of     Total annual      Hours per
         17 CFR Sec.            of respondents      response         responses       response       Total hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21.02.........................             400  Annually........             400            1.75             700
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The total annual cost burden per respondent is estimated to be 
$38,500. The Commission based its calculation on a blended hourly wage 
rate of $55 for a Programmer and Compliance Manager.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In arriving at a wage rate for the hourly costs imposed, 
Commission staff used the Management & Professional Earnings in the 
Securities Industry Report, published in 2013 by the Securities 
Industry and Financial Markets Associations (Report). The wage rate 
used the median salary of a Programmer and Compliance Manager as 
published in the 2013 Report and divided that figure by 2000 annual 
working hours to arrive at the hourly rate of $55.

    Dated: August 4, 2016.
