    Abstract: Section 5c(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7a-
2(c), establishes procedures for registered entities (designated 
contract markets, registered derivatives transaction execution 
facilities and registered derivatives clearing organizations) to 
implement new rules and rule amendments by either seeking prior 
approval or (for most rules) certifying to the Commission that such 
rules or rule amendments do not violate the Act or Commission 
regulations. Rules 40.4, 40.5 and 40.6 implement these statutory 
provisions.
    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). The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on this collection of information was 
published on August 5, 2004 (69 FR 47419-01).
    Burden statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average .83 hours per response. These estimates include 
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.
