FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adam Charnisky, Market Analyst,

(312) 596-0630; acharnisky@cftc.gov, and refer to OMB Control No. 3038-
0015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA, Federal agencies must obtain 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each 
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of 
Information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3 and 
includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public 
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. 
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 30-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting 
the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, 
the CFTC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information 
listed below.
    Title: ``Copies of Crop and Market Information Reports,'' OMB 
Control No. 3038-0015. This is a request for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    Abstract: The information collected pursuant to this rule, 17 CFR 
1.40, is in the public interest and is necessary for market 
surveillance. Manipulation of commodity futures prices is a violation 
of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act). Section 9(a)(2) of the Act (7 
U.S.C. 13(a)(2)) prohibits the dissemination of false or misleading or 
knowingly inaccurate reports that affect or tend to affect the prices 
of commodities. In

[[Page 4190]]

order to facilitate the enforcement of this provision, Commission 
regulation 1.40 requires that members of an exchange and FCMs provide 
upon request copies of any report published or given general 
circulation which concerns crop or market information that affects or 
tends to affect the price of any commodity.
    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 OMB control numbers for the 
CFTC's regulations were published on December 30, 1981. See 46 FR 63035 
(Dec. 30, 1981). A 60-day notice of intent to renew collection 3038-
0015 (the ``60-Day Notice'') was published in the Federal Register at 
82 FR 55590 (Nov. 22, 2017).
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average 0.17 hours per response.
     Respondents/Affected Entities: 10.
     Estimated Number of Responses: 10.
     Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1.7 hours.
     Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

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