Title: Conflicts of Interest Policies and
Procedures by Futures Commission
Merchants and Introducing Brokers
(OMB Control No. 3038–0078). This is
a request for an extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: On April 3, 2012, the
Commission adopted Commission
regulation 1.71 (Conflicts of interest
policies and procedures by futures
commission merchants and introducing
brokers) 2 pursuant to section 4d(c) 3 of
the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA).
Commission regulation 1.71 requires
generally that, among other things,
futures commission merchants (FCM) 4
and introducing brokers (IB) 5 develop
conflicts of interest procedures and
disclosures, adopt and implement
written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to ensure
compliance with their conflicts of
interest and disclosure obligations, and
maintain specified records related to
those requirements.6 The Commission
believes that the information collection
obligations imposed by Commission
regulation 1.71 are essential (i) to
ensuring that FCMs and IBs develop and
maintain the conflicts of interest
systems, procedures and disclosures
required by the CEA, and Commission
regulations, and (ii) to the effective
evaluation of these registrants’ actual
compliance with the CEA and
Commission regulations.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. On April 9, 2019, the
