Commodity Futures Trading Commission April 15, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is adopting final rules to specify the exclusive procedures under which designated contract markets (DCMs), derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) and derivatives transaction execution facilities (DTEFs) (collectively, ``regulated entities'') may request confidential treatment for products and rules submitted via certification procedures or for Commission review and approval under parts 40 and 41 of the Commission's regulations. The amendments also revise the Commission's part 145 regulations under the Freedom of Information Act by providing that the confidential treatment procedures specified in section 145.9 do not apply to information filed by regulated entities pursuant to parts 40 and 41.
