SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Ownership and Control Reports, Forms 102/102S, 40/40S, and 
71 (Trader and Account Identification Reports) (OMB Control No. 3038-
0103). This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
information collection.
    Abstract: The Ownership and Control Reports (OCR) rules \1\ created 
new information collection requirements via Sec. Sec.  17.01, 18.04, 
18.05, and 20.5. Specifically, Sec.  17.01 provides for the filing of 
Form 102A, Form 102B and Form 71, as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Commission, Final Rule: Ownership and Control Reports, 
Forms 102/102S, 40/40S, and 71, 78 FR 69178 (November 18, 2013). 
Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the 
meaning assigned to such terms in the OCR rules or in the 
Commission's regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Pursuant to Sec.  17.01(a), futures commission merchants 
(``FCMs''), clearing members, and foreign brokers shall identify new 
special accounts to the Commission on Form 102A;\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Form 102A is an updated version of old Form 102, which was 
titled ``Identification of Special Accounts.'' Form 102A collects 
information with respect to position-based special accounts in the 
futures market. Form 102A also requires clearing members to identify 
the individual trading accounts underlying these special accounts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     pursuant to Sec.  17.01(b), clearing members shall 
identify volume threshold accounts to the Commission on Form 102B; and
     pursuant to Sec.  17.01(c), omnibus volume threshold 
account originators and omnibus reportable sub-account originators 
shall identify reportable sub-accounts to the Commission on Form 71 
when requested via a special call by the Commission or its designee.
    Additional reporting requirements arise from Sec.  18.04, which 
results in the collection of information via Form 40 from and regarding 
traders who own, hold, or control reportable positions; volume 
threshold account controllers; persons who own volume threshold 
accounts; reportable sub-account controllers; and persons who own 
reportable sub-accounts.
    Reporting requirements also arise from Sec.  20.5(a), which 
requires 102S reporting entities to submit Form 102S for swap 
counterparty or customer consolidated accounts with reportable 
positions. In addition, Sec.  20.5(b) requires every person subject to 
books or records under current Sec.  20.6 to complete a 40S filing 
after a special call upon such person by the Commission.
    In addition to the reporting requirements summarized above, Sec.  
18.05 imposes recordkeeping requirements upon: (1) Traders who own, 
hold, or control a reportable futures or options on futures position; 
(2) volume threshold account

controllers; (3) persons who own volume threshold accounts; (4) 
reportable sub-account controllers; and (5) persons who own reportable 
sub-accounts.
    A 60-day notice of intent to renew collection 3038-0103 (the ``60-
Day Notice'') was published in the Federal Register at 82 FR 12944 
(March 8, 2017). In response to the 60-day Notice, the Commission 
received four comment letters from four entities, namely (a) the 
National Rural Electric Cooperative Association; (b) the Commercial 
Energy Working Group; (c) the International Energy Credit Association; 
and (d) Capital Confirmation, Inc. (non-substantive comment). The 
comment letters are available through the Commission's Web site at: 
https://comments.cftc.gov/PublicComments/CommentList.aspx?id=1781.
