AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is planning to renew 
information collection 3038-0033, Regulation Governing Notification of 
Legal Proceedings, which is due to expire September 30, 1999. The 
information collected pursuant to this rule is designed to assist the 
Commission in monitoring legal proceedings involving the 
responsibilities imposed on contract markets and their officials and 
futures commission merchants and their principals by the Commodity 
Exchange Act, the Commission's enabling legislation, or otherwise. In 
compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Commission 
solicits comments to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the collection of information including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of the information of 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronics submission of responses.

    Dates: Comments must be received on or before July 19, 1999.
