Membership in a Registered Futures Association
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is adopting a new rule (``Final Rule'') to require that all persons registered with the Commission as introducing brokers (``IB''), commodity pool operators (``CPO''), or commodity trading advisors (``CTA''), subject to an exception for those persons who are exempt from registration as a CTA pursuant to a particular provision of the Commission's regulations, must, in each case, become and remain a member of at least one registered futures association (``RFA'').
Public Alert-Registration Deficient List
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') is announcing a new program, the Registration Deficient List (``RED List''), that will post on the Commission's Web site and distribute to the public certain factual information about foreign entities that are soliciting or accepting funds from U.S. residents and are acting in a manner that requires registration but are not appropriately registered with the CFTC.
Management Fee Policy
On December 30, 2014, the National Science Foundation (NSF) published at 79 FR 78497 a notice and request for comments on NSF's revised policy on management fee. The payment of a small but appropriate management fee has been a long standing practice at NSF in limited circumstances related to the construction and operation of major facility projects. NSF has strengthened both the criteria used to establish such fees and the controls that may be necessary to ensure that uses of fees are consistent with those established criteria. These efforts resulted in the revised policy that was sent for public comment. On June 16, 2015, NSF received OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act for the Large Facilities Manual (3145-0239) which included NSF's final policy on management fee under Section 4.2.2.2.

L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).

Access to Data Obtained by Security-Based Swap Data Repositories and Exemption From Indemnification Requirement
Pursuant to section 763(i) of Title VII (``Title VII'') of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (``Dodd-Frank Act''), the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is proposing amendments to rule 13n-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') related to regulatory access to security-based swap data held by security-based swap data repositories. The proposed rule amendments would implement the conditional Exchange Act requirement that security-based swap data repositories make data available to certain regulators and other authorities, and would set forth a conditional exemption from the statutory indemnification requirement associated with that regulatory access provision.
Vocational Factors of Age, Education, and Work Experience in the Adult Disability Determination Process
We are soliciting public input about how we should consider the vocational factors of age, education, and work experience in adult disability claims under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act). There have been significant changes in technology use and workforce demographics since we first adopted our vocational factor regulations in 1978. We are requesting public comments, along with any supporting data, to assist in our efforts to streamline, simplify, and ensure the ongoing relevance of our disability determination programs.
