COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING
COMMISSION
Order Exempting the Trading and
Clearing of Certain Credit Default
Products Pursuant to the Exemptive
Authority in Section 4(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’)
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission
ACTION: Final order.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On May 14, 2007, the
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (‘‘CFTC’’ or the
‘‘Commission’’) published for pubic
comment in the Federal Register 1 a
proposal to exempt for the CEA 2 the
trading and clearing of certain products
called credit default options (‘‘CDOs’’)
and credit default basket options
(‘‘CDBOs’’) that are proposed to be
traded on the Chicago Board Options
Exchange (‘‘CBOE’’), a natioal securities
exchange registered under Section 6 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘1934 Act’’),3 and cleared through the
Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’), a
registered securities clearing agency
registered under Section 17A of the
1934 Act,4 and Derivatives Clearing
Organization registered under Section
5b of the CEA.5 The proposed order was
preceded by a request from OCC to
approve rules that would permit it to
clear these CDOs and CDBOs in its
capacity as a registered securities
clearing agency. OCC’s request
presented novel and complex issues of
jurisdiction and the Commission
determined that an order exempting the
trading and clearing of such instruments
from pertinent requirements of the CEA
may be appropriate. The Commission
has reviewed the comments made in
response to its proposal and the entire
record in this matter and has
determined to issue an order exempting
the trading and clearing of these
contracts from the CEA.
Authority for this exemption is found
in Section 4(c) of the CEA.6
DATES: Effective Date: June 5, 2007.
