The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) is proposing amendments to its rules concerning event contracts in certain excluded commodities. The Commission is proposing amendments to further specify types of event contracts that fall within the scope of section 5c(c)(5)(C) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA or the Act) and are contrary to the public interest, such that they may not be listed for trading or accepted for clearing on or through a CFTC-registered entity. Among other things, the Commission proposes to further specify the types of event contracts that involve âgaming.â The Commission also proposes to amend certain language in its event contract rules to further align with statutory text, and to make certain technical changes to its event contract rules in order to enhance clarity and organization. The proposed amendments to the Commissionâs event contract rules, which are set forth in part 40 of the Commissionâs regulations, would require new submissions under § 40.6 for registered entities that must delist contracts prohibited by the proposed amendments. These new reporting requirements would require revision of OMB Control No. 3038-0093, âProvisions Common to Regulated Entities.â
US Code:
7 USC 7a-2
Name of Law: Procedures for Registered Entities, etc.
The Commission is proposing rule amendments that would include new reporting requirements and would result in the revision of its burden hour estimates for Collection 3038-0093 (Provisions Common to Regulated Entities). The proposed rule amendments would yield an increase in the overall burden hours for the collection from the current 20,540 to a new total of 20,600 hours (an increase of 60 burden hours).
