Reports by Futures Commission Merchants, Members of Contract Markets and Foreign Brokers

Zusammenfassung

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is proposing to amend Rule 17.01 and to modify the Form 102 required to be filed by clearing members, futures commission merchants (FCMs) and foreign brokers. This form identifies persons having financial interest in, or control of, special accounts in futures and options. The proposed amendments clarify the information required on the Form 102 for various kinds of special accounts reported to the Commission. The Commission is also proposing to amend Rule 17.02 concerning the time in which a completed Form 102 must be filed. The proposed rules would require that certain specified identification information be provided on the first day that a special account is reported to the Commission and that a completed Form 102 be filed with the Commission within three business days of that date.
