SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Practice by Former Members and Employees of the Commission 
(OMB Control No. 3038-0025). This is a request for an extension of a 
currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: Commission Rule 140.735-6 governs the practice before the 
Commission of former members and employees of the Commission and is 
intended to ensure that the Commission is aware of any existing 
conflict of interest. The rule generally requires former members and 
employees who are employed or retained to represent any person before 
the Commission within two years of the termination of their CFTC 
employment, to file a brief written statement with the Commission's 
Office of the General Counsel. The proposed rule was promulgated 
pursuant to the Commission's rulemaking authority contained in Section 
8a(5) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 12a(5) (1994), as 
amended.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a current 
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 11, 2013 (78 FR 75333).
    Burden statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average 0.10 hours per response to file the brief written 
statement. This estimate includes the time needed to review 
instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and 
systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information and disclosing and 
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any 
previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to 
be able to respond to a collection of information; and transmit or 
otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Former Employees and their 
employers.
    Estimated number of respondents: 30.
    Estimated annual burden hours per respondent: 0.10 hours.
    Estimated total annual responses: 30.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 3 hours.
    Frequency of collection: On occasion.

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