SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Survey of the Costs of Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money
Laundering Compliance (OMB Control No. 3038-XXXX). This is a request
for approval of a new information collection.
Abstract: The proposed survey seeks to gather information on the
direct costs incurred by CFTC-registered futures commission merchants
and introducing brokers in complying with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
and related Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements. Responses will
help the agency understand the financial impact of these regulations
and may be used to shape deregulatory proposals consistent with the
Executive Orders of the Trump administration.]
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 August 5, 2025, the Commission
published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed revision of
this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on
the proposed extension, 90 FR 37473 (``60-Day Notice''). The Commission
received no relevant comments.
Burden Statement: The estimated hour burden for this collection is
calculated as follows:
Estimated number of respondents: 951.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ As of November 30, 2025, as reported by the National Futures
Association, the total number of CFTC-registered futures commission
merchants and introducing brokers is 951. This represents a decrease
of five respondents from the estimate included in the 60-Day FRN.
The Commission's burden estimates have been updated accordingly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated number of reports per respondent: 1.
Average number of hours per report: 2.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,902.
There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
associated with this collection.

(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
