You must submit qualification materials
If you want to be appointed to a CFTC advisory committee or subcommittee, you must provide qualification information such as letters of interest, recommendation or nomination letters (including self-nominations), resumes or curricula vitae. The CFTC estimates 320 respondents will submit this information, with an average burden of 1 hour per respondent and a total annual burden of 320 hours.
Estimated paperwork burden reduced
The Commission reduced its annual burden estimate for this information collection from 400 hours to 320 hours because the total number of Commission advisory committees decreased from 5 to 4. The Commission now estimates 320 respondents and 320 total annual burden hours.
Designation rules: representative vs special employee
The CFTC collects information to determine whether advisory committee or subcommittee members should be designated as representatives or as special government employees. Special government employees are expected to provide independent judgment and be free from conflicts of interest, while representatives provide the viewpoints of entities or recognizable groups.
