Privacy Act of 1974 System of Records Notice
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) is revising one system of records under the Privacy Act of 1974: CFTC-44, Personnel Security Files, to be renamed CFTC-44, Personnel Clearance System. The Commission also is establishing two new systems of records: CFTC-48, Personal Property Claims, and CFTC-49, Whistleblower Records (Exempted). Revisions to CFTC-44 incorporate enhancements to the system of records with a new streamlined process of capturing personal information, minimizing paper records and eliminating manual entry into a legacy application when an individual applies for a security clearance. New CFTC-48 addresses information collected through a new process for employees to file and have adjudicated claims for damage or loss of certain personal property, as stated in Commission policies and applicable law. New CFTC-49 addresses information collected for the Commission's whistleblower program, which is described and defined in Section 23 of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 26, and the rules promulgated thereunder, 17 CFR part 165.
Second Amendment to July 14, 2011 Order for Swap Regulation
On May 16, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or the ``Commission'') published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Amendment (``Notice'') to extend the temporary exemptive relief the Commission granted on July 14, 2011 (``July 14 Order'') from certain provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') that otherwise would have taken effect on the general effective date of title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``the Dodd-Frank Act'')July 16, 2011. This final order extends the July 14 Order with certain modifications. Specifically, it removes references to the entities terms, including ``swap dealer,'' ``major swap participant,'' and ``eligible contract participant'' in light of the final joint rulemaking of the CFTC and Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'') further defining those terms issued on April 18, 2012; extends the potential latest expiration date of the July 14 Order to December 31, 2012, or, depending on the nature of the relief, such other compliance date as may be determined by the Commission; allows the clearing of agricultural swaps, as described herein; and removes any reference to the exempt commercial market (``ECM'') and exempt board of trade (``EBOT'') grandfather relief previously issued by the Commission.
