species would be counted and weighed.
With the exception of catch sacrificed
for biological sampling, catch would be
returned to the water as quickly as
possible after sampling.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. EFP modifications and extensions
may be granted without further notice if
they are deemed essential to facilitate
completion of the proposed research
and have minimal impacts that do not
change the scope or impact of the
initially approved EFP request. Any
fishing activity conducted outside the
scope of the exempted fishing activity
would be prohibited.

Trading Commission (CFTC) is
announcing an opportunity for public
comment on the revision of a collection
of certain information by the agency.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(‘‘PRA’’), Federal agencies are required
to publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment. The Commission
recently adopted a final rule amending
requirements for swap execution
facilities. This notice republishes the
burden in the final rule, and solicits any
additional comments on the burden
associated with the previously
published final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Under the
PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed amendment to
the collection listed below. 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.
Title: Core Principles and Other
Requirements for Swap Execution
Facilities (OMB Control No. 3038–
0074). This is a request for an
amendment to a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’)
added new section 5h to the Commodity
Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) to impose
requirements concerning the registration
and operation of swap execution
facilities (‘‘SEFs’’), which the
Commission has incorporated in part 37
of its regulations as well as other parts
of the Commission’s regulations. The
information collections under this
Control Number are necessary for the
Commission to evaluate whether SEFs,
or entities applying to become SEFs,
comply with the CEA’s statutory core
principle requirements and part 37 of
the Commission regulations.

17 CFR 145.9.
The final rule, 86 FR 9224 (Feb. 11,
2021), provides relief from certain part
37 requirements that SEFs found in
practice to be operationally unworkable
or unnecessarily burdensome. The
Commission revised information
collection number 3038–0074 to reflect
the adoption of amendments to part 37
of its regulations, as discussed below,
but does not believe the regulations as
adopted impose any other new
collections of information that require
approval of OMB under the PRA.
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on:
•Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
•The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
•Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
•Ways to minimize the burden of
collection of information on 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
electronic submission of responses.
All comments must be submitted in
English, or if not, accompanied by an
English translation. Comments will be
posted as received to https://
www.cftc.gov. You should submit only
information that you wish to make
available publicly. If you wish the
Commission to consider information
that you believe is exempt from
disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, a petition for
confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.

The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from https://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the Information Collection
Request will be retained in the public
comment file and will be considered as
required under the Administrative
Procedure Act and other applicable
laws, and may be accessible under the
Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection for 3038–0074. The
respondent burden for this collection is
estimated to be as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
20.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 387.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 7,740.
Frequency of Collection: Once.
There are no capital costs or operating
and maintenance costs associated with
this collection.

National Wetland Plant List
AGENCY
: Army Corps of Engineers, DoD.
ACTION
: Notice.
SUMMARY
: The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), as part of an
interagency effort with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), is
announcing the availability of the final
2020 National Wetland Plant List
(NWPL). The NWPL provides plant
species indicator status ratings, which
are used in determining whether the
hydrophytic vegetation factor is met
when conducting wetland delineations
under the Clean Water Act and wetland
determinations under the Wetland
Conservation Provisions of the Food
Security Act. Other applications of the
NWPL include wetland restoration,
establishment, and enhancement
projects.
DATES
: The 2020 NWPL will become
applicable on November 2, 2021, and
will be used in any wetland
delineations performed after this date.
Delineations completed prior to this
date may still use the 2018 NWPL.
Completed wetland delineation/
determination forms should reference
the version of the NWPL used to
complete the form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) administers the National
Wetland Plant List (NWPL) for the
United States (U.S.) and its territories.
Responsibility for the NWPL was
transferred to USACE from the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (FWS) in 2006. The
NWPL has undergone several revisions
since its inception in 1988. Additions or
deletions to the NWPL represent new
records, range extensions,
nomenclatural and taxonomic changes,
and newly proposed species. The latest
review process began in 2020 and
included review by Regional Panels
(RPs), the National Panel (NP), and the
public, who provided input on
proposed wetland rating changes or
additions for 27 species and 48 regional
ratings (some species were reviewed for
multiple regions) submitted by the
public. Twenty of these species were
proposed for addition to the NWPL, and
seven species were submitted for a
rating change request in one or more
regions. The proposed indicator changes
were announced in a Federal Register
Notice, 86 FR 15656, March 24, 2021,
with the comment period ending on
May 24, 2021. Thirteen comments were
received during that time.
Wetland Indicator Status Ratings
On the NWPL, there are five
categories of wetland indicator status
ratings, used to indicate a plant’s
likelihood for occurrence in wetlands
versus non-wetlands: Obligate Wetland
(OBL), Facultative Wetland (FACW),
Facultative (FAC), Facultative Upland
(FACU), and Upland (UPL). These rating
categories are defined by the NP as
follows: OBL—almost always occur in
wetlands; FACW—usually occur in
wetlands, but may occur in non-
wetlands; FAC—occur in wetlands and
non-wetlands; FACU—usually occur in
non-wetlands, but may occur in
wetlands; UPL—almost always occur in
non-wetlands. These category
definitions are qualitative descriptions
that better reflect the qualitative
supporting information, rather than
numeric frequency ranges. The
