The Commission adopted regulations for these entities under part 160 and later extended them to retail foreign exchange dealers, swap dealers, and major swap participants.4 Part 160 requires those subject to the regulations, among other things, to provide privacy and opt out notices to customers and to adopt appropriate policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information. In April 2019, the Commission adopted amendments to its regulations to provide an exception to its annual privacy notice requirement under certain conditions.5 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.

commission merchants and introducing brokers (7 U.S.C. 6d); Commodity 
pool operators and commodity trading advisors (7 U.S.C. 6m(1)); Retail 
foreign exchange dealers (7 U.S.C. 2(c)); Associated persons (7 U.S.C. 
6k); Floor traders or floor brokers (7 U.S.C. 6e); and Swap dealers and 
major swap participants (7 U.S.C. 6s(a)). The CFTC uses various forms

for registration of persons other than swap dealers and major swap 
participants.\2\

to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a

published in the Federal Register notice of the proposed extension of 
this information collection and provided 60 days for public comment on 
the proposed extension, 87 FR 63051 (``60-Day Notice''). The
