Commodity Futures Trading Commission October 26, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed renewal of a collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA''), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information and to allow 60 days for public comment. In 2012, the Commission adopted final rules, which address risk management for cleared trades by futures commission merchants (``FCMs''), swap dealers (``SDs), and major swap participants (``MSPs'') that are clearing members. This notice solicits comments on the obligation to maintain records related to clearing documentation between the customer and the customer's clearing member.
