Commodity Futures Trading Commission August 5, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the recent revision to the collection of certain information by the Commission. 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. The Commission revised its regulation requiring the filing of a notice of exemption by persons seeking to claim relief from registration as a commodity pool operator (CPO). This Federal Register notice solicits comments on the PRA implications of the revision to that required notice of exemption, including comments addressing adjustments in burden to the relevant information collection requirement of the revised exemption notice.
