Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Ongoing Position-Limits Paperwork Burden
The CFTC requests renewal of its Part 150 position limits information collection (OMB Control No. 3038-0013), which the agency expects will continue to affect about 776 respondents. The agency estimates an average paperwork burden of 15.14 hours per respondent and a total annual burden of 11,748 hours, with no capital or operating costs reported and filings collected "as needed."
Aggregation-Rule Reports Not Being Submitted
The notice states that, because of existing no-action letters, market participants do not submit the reports required by Regulation 150.4 (aggregation of positions) as of the date of this notice. As a result, all collections and burden estimates tied to Regulation 150.4 are described as hypothetical.
