Commodity Futures Trading Commission June 1, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') 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, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment. This notice solicits comments on the duties of CFTC registrants to design, develop and implement reasonable policies and procedures to identify relevant red flags (the ``Identity Theft Red Flags Rules''), and potentially to notify cardholders of identity theft risks. Regulations in part 162 subpart CIdentify Theft Red Flags, including the information collection requirements thereunder, are designed to better protect investors from the risks of identity theft, and, in the case of entities that issue credit or debit cards, to assess the validity of, and communicate with cardholders regarding, address changes.
