Paperwork Time Burden Updated
The CFTC updated its estimate of paperwork burden for this collection: there are 25 registered FBOT respondents (up from 24), an estimated average of 204 hours per respondent per year, and a total annual burden of 5,097 hours. The agency also states that burden per response varies from 0.5 to 8 hours and that reporting is required on occasion, quarterly, or annually.
FBOTs Must Register Under Part 48
Foreign boards of trade (FBOTs) that want to give members or participants located in the United States direct access to their electronic trading and order-matching systems must register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under Part 48. Once registered, FBOTs must meet initial and ongoing reporting requirements, including quarterly and annual reports.
No Capital or O&M Costs Listed
The CFTC states there are no capital costs or operating and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with this information collection. This means the agency expects the burden to be limited to reporting time rather than new hardware, software, or ongoing monetary expenses.
