Confidential Information and Commission Records and Information
Document Number: E8-17529
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-08-01
Agency: Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Agencies and Commissions
On July 20, 2007, the Commission published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the procedures under which designated contract markets (DCMs), derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs), and derivatives transaction execution facilities (DTEFs) (collectively, ``registered entities'') may request confidential treatment for products and rules submitted via certification procedures or for Commission review and approval under parts 40 and 41 of the Commission's regulations.\1\ Under the proposed amendments to Commission regulation 40.8, registered entities filing product and rule submissions would follow a procedure separate from the customary Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) confidential treatment procedures specified in Commission regulation 145.9, 17 CFR 145.9. As proposed to be amended, regulation 40.8(c) provided that: registered entities submitting material under parts 40 and 41 would be required to file a detailed written justification simultaneously with the request for confidential treatment; registered entities submitting material under parts 40 and 41 would be required to segregate material for which confidential treatment is requested in an appendix to the submission; and Commission staff may make an initial determination to grant or deny confidential treatment to such material before receiving a request under the FOIA. Regulation 40.8(c) is being reproposed to clarify that an initial determination by staff to deny confidential treatment may be appealed to the Commission's Office of General Counsel and that such an appeal will stay release of the material. The Commission believes these amendments, by creating a separate confidential treatment review process for filings under parts 40 and 41, will enhance the Commission's ability to provide the public with immediate access to non-confidential information.
