Position Limits Info Collection Burden
The CFTC will continue collecting information for its position limits program (OMB Control No. 3038-0013). The notice estimates 776 respondents, an average of 15.14 hours per respondent, and a total annual burden of 11,748 hours for market participants and designated contract markets.
No Capital or Ongoing Cost Requirement
The CFTC states there are no capital costs or operating and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with this information collection. This means the agency does not expect businesses to incur equipment or ongoing monetary expenses for this collection.
Aggregation Reporting Currently Hypothetical
Collections of information under Regulation 150.4 (the Aggregation Rule) are described as hypothetical because, per no-action letter 25-21 and similar positions, market participants do not currently submit the reports required by Regulation 150.4. As a result, burden estimates tied to Regulation 150.4 are not presently being realized.
