3038-0095.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Large Trader Reporting for Physical Commodity Swaps (OMB 
Control No. 3038-0095). This is a request for extension and revision of 
a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: Part 20 of the Commission's regulations (``Reporting 
Rules'') requires clearing organizations and any persons that are 
``reporting entities'' to file swaps position data with the Commission. 
The Reporting Rules collect clearing member reports from clearing 
organizations. The Reporting Rules also require position reports from 
reporting entities for principal and counterparty positions in cleared 
and uncleared physical commodity swaps. Reporting entities are those 
persons that are either ``clearing members'' or ``swap dealers'' that 
are otherwise not clearing members. For purposes of part 20, reporting 
parties are required to submit data on positions on a futures 
equivalent basis so as to allow the Commission to assess a trader's 
market impact across differently structured but linked derivatives 
instruments and markets. This renewal updates the total requested 
burden based on available reported data.
    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. On February 9, 2018, the Commission 
published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed extension of 
this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on 
the proposed extension, 83 FR 5761 (``60-Day Notice''). The Commission 
did not receive any comments on the 60-Day Notice.
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to be as follows: \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The burden estimates that appeared in the 60-day Notice 
contained a calculation error that resulted in double counting 
burden hours, 83 FR 5761 (Feb. 9, 2018). This calculation error has 
been corrected and the following adjustments to the previous burden 
estimates have been made, as indicated above: The Estimated Average 
Annual Burden Hours per Respondent have been corrected from 1.55 to 
1.57; the Estimated Total Annual Number of Responses has been 
adjusted from 56,088 to 38,408; and the Estimated Total Annual 
Burden Hours have been adjusted from 86,902 to 60,382.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,824.
    Estimated Average Annual Burden Hours per Respondent: 1.57.
    Estimated Total Annual Number of Responses: 38,408.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 60,382.
    Type of Respondents: Respondents may include clearing 
organizations, persons that are clearing members or swap dealers that 
are reporting entities, and large swap counterparties.
