Foreign Futures and Foreign Options Transactions
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is proposing to amend the Commission's regulations to clarify when foreign futures and options brokers who are members of a foreign board of trade must register or obtain an exemption from registration. The Commission proposes to modify Rule 30.4(a) by clarifying that foreign futures and options brokers, including those with U.S. bank branches, are not required to register as futures commission merchants (FCMs) pursuant to Rule 30.4, or seek Rule 30.10 relief, if they fall generally into the following categories: those that carry customer omnibus accounts for U.S. FCMs; those that carry U.S. affiliate accounts which are proprietary to the foreign futures and options broker; and those that carry U.S. accounts which are proprietary to a U.S. FCM. In addition, proposed Rule 30.10(a) will specify representations that must be made by a foreign futures and options broker that has U.S. bank branches in order to obtain a Rule 30.10 comparability exemption or to come within the registration exception of Rule 30.4.
