SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Reparations Complaint, CFTC
Form 30 (OMB Control No. 3038–0115).
This is a request for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to section 14 of the
Commodity Exchange Act, members of
the public may apply to the Commission
to seek damages against Commission
registrants for alleged violations of the
Act and/or Commission regulations. The
legislative intent of the Reparations
program was to provide a low-cost,
speedy, and effective forum for the
resolution of customer complaints and
to sanction individuals and firms found
to have violated the Act and/or any
regulations.
In 1984, the Commission promulgated
part 12 of the Commission regulations to
administer section 14. Rule 12.13
provides the standards and procedures
for filing a Reparations complaint.
Specifically, paragraph (b) describes the
form and content requirements of a
complaint. CFTC Form 30 mirrors the
requirements set forth in paragraph (b).
The Commission began utilizing Form
30 in or about 1984. The form was
created to assist customers, who are
typically pro se and non-lawyers. It was
also designed as a way to provide
proper notice to respondents of the
charges against them. This form is
critical to fulfilling this policy goal.1

include a web-based version of Form 30 as an

Notice’’) The Commission did not
