SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Privacy of Consumer Financial Information (OMB Control No. 3038-0055). This is a request for an extension of a currently approved
information collection.

Abstract: Section 124 of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (2) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (the “Act”) and added a new Section 5g (3) to the Act to (i) provide that futures commission merchants, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators, and introducing
brokers that are subject to CFTC jurisdiction with respect to any financial activity shall be treated as a financial institution
for purposes of Title V, Subtitle A of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB Act”), (ii) treat the Commission as a Federal functional
regulator for purposes of applying the provisions of the GLB Act, and (iii) direct the Commission to prescribe regulations
under Title V of the GLB Act.

The Commission adopted regulations for these entities under Part 160 and later extended them to retail foreign exchange dealers,
swap dealers, and major swap participants. (4) Part 160 requires those subject to the regulations, among other things, to provide privacy and opt out notices to customers
and consumers, and to adopt appropriate policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information. In April 2019,
the Commission adopted amendments to its regulations to provide an exception to its annual privacy notice requirement under
certain conditions. (5)

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 December 15, 2025, the Commission published in the
Federal Register
notice of the proposed extension of this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on the proposed extension,
90 FR 57962 (“60-Day Notice”). The

  Commission received no relevant comments on the 60-Day Notice.
