Large Trader Reports

The Commission is amending the regulation 17.00 reporting rules, which set out the requirement for futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), clearing members, foreign brokers, and certain reporting markets to submit daily position reports for large traders of futures and options. First, the Commission is removing current regulation 17.00(g)’s 80-character record format and amending regulation 17.03(d) to delegate authority to the Director of the Office of Data and Technology to determine whether to permit or require one or more particular data standards for reports required under regulation 17.00(a). That submission standard will be published in a Part 17 Guidebook, to be published on the Commission’s website. Second, the Commission is adding an Appendix C to Part 17 enumerating data elements to be included in regulation 17.00(a) reports. The form and manner for reporting these data elements in Appendix C will be provided in the Part 17 Guidebook.

The latest form for Large Trader Reports expires 2027-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202402-3038-002.
