Abstract: The Commission is seeking to amend control number 3038-0052 to account for regulation 38.1051(n) that is being adopted in the System Safeguards and Cybersecurity Testing Final Rulemaking and requires designated contract markets (DCMs) to provide the Commission with annual trading volume information. The trading volume information is necessary to assist the Commission in its application of the enhanced system safeguard and cybersecurity testing requirements for DCMs whose annual trading volume in a calendar year is five percent or more of the combined annual trading volume of all DCMs regulated by the Commission.
