Control No. 3038-0093.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Part 40, Provisions Common To Registered Entities (OMB 
Control No. 3038-0093). This is a request for extension of a currently 
approved information collection.
    Abstract: This collection of information involves the collection 
and submission to the Commission of information from registered 
entities concerning new products, rules, and rule amendments pursuant 
to the procedures outlined in Sec. Sec.  40.2, 40.3, 40.5, 40.6, and 
40.10 found in 17 CFR part 40. 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 March 10, 
2020, 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, 85 FR 13876 (``60-Day 
Notice''). The Commission did not receive any relevant comments on the 
60-Day Notice.
    Burden Statement: Registered entities must comply with 
certification and approval requirements which include an explanation 
and analysis when seeking to implement new products, rules, and rule 
amendments, including changes to product terms and conditions. The 
Commission's regulations Sec. Sec.  40.2, 40.3, 40.5, 40.6 and 40.10 
provide procedures for the submission of rules and rule amendments by 
designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, derivatives 
clearing organizations, and swap data repositories. They establish the 
procedures for submitting the ``written certification'' required by 
Section 5c of the Act. In connection with a product or rule 
certification, the registered entity must provide a concise explanation 
and analysis of the submission and its compliance with statutory 
provisions of the Act. Accordingly, new rules or rule amendments must 
be accompanied by concise explanations and analyses of the purposes, 
operations, and effects of the submissions. This information may be 
submitted as part of the same submission containing the required 
``written certification.''
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Designated Contract Markets, Swap 
Execution Facilities, Derivatives Clearing Organizations, and Swap Data 
Repositories.
