SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Procurement Contracts, OMB Control No. 3038-0031. This is a 
request for extension of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: This information collection consists of procurement 
activities relating to solicitations, amendments to solicitations, 
requests for quotations, construction contracts, awards of contracts, 
performance bonds, and payment information for individuals (vendors) or 
contractors engaged in providing supplies or services.
    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 November 21, 2012 (77 FR 69806).
    Burden statement: The respondent burden for this collection is 
estimated to average 1 hour per response. 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. The 
numbers contained in this justification differ from those in the 60-day 
notice because of a revised estimate of the number of respondents.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: 214.
    Estimated number of responses: 214.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 548 hours.
    Frequency of collection: annually.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimated or any other aspect of 
the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to the addresses listed below. Please refer to OMB Control No.
