Abstract: The Information collected pursuant to 17 C.F.R § 140.735-6 concerning the practice by former members and employees of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission before the Commission is required to keep the Commission aware of any conflicts of interest that may exist, and to ensure compliance with the requirements of 18 U.S.C. § 207 concerning restrictions in this regard placed upon certain former federal members and employees. In order for the Commission to regulate the practice before it by its former members and employees, 17 C.F.R § 140.735-6(e) generally requires former members and employees who are employed or retained to represent any person before the Commission within two years of the termination of their CFTC employment to file a brief written statement with the Commission’s Office of General Counsel regarding that representation.
