Agency Information Collection Activities: Notice of Intent To Revise Collections, Comment Request: Adoption of Revised Registration Form 8-R
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or the ``Commission'') is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed 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 Form 8-R, the application form that individuals use to register with the Commission or to be listed as a principal. This notice solicits comments on the PRA implications of the revisions to Form 8-R, including comments that address the burdens associated with the modified information collection requirements of the revised Form 8-R.
Adoption of Revised Registration Form 8-R
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the ``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is revising its Form 8-R, the application form that individuals must use to register with the Commission as an associated person of a registrant, floor broker, or floor trader, or to be listed as a principal of a registrant (collectively, ``applicants''). These revisions, which are essentially technical and non-substantive in nature, have been adopted to assist the National Futures Association (``NFA'') in the performance of the registration functions authorized by the Commission, and in the implementation and operation of NFA's program to register and regulate directly the associated persons sponsored by members of NFA.
Retail Commodity Transactions Involving Certain Digital Assets
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the ``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is issuing this final interpretive guidance concerning the term ``actual delivery'' as set forth in the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ``Dodd-Frank Act''). Specifically, this final interpretive guidance is being issued to inform the public of the Commission's views when determining whether actual delivery has occurred in the context of retail commodity transactions in certain types of digital assets that serve as a medium of exchange, colloquially known as ``virtual currencies.'' The Commission issues this interpretive guidance after a 90-day comment period and a significant amount of time and effort further observing the development of the digital asset and virtual currency marketplace.
