Changes in Reporting Levels for Large Trader Reports

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) periodically reviews its large trader reporting rules to ensure that the Commission is receiving adequate information to carry out its market surveillance programs. Based upon the Commission's most recent review of these rules the Commission is amending, as proposed, Parts 15, 16, and 17 of its rules, 17 CFR Parts 15, 16 and 17. The final amendments to Part 15 raise the reporting levels at which futures commission merchants (FCMs), clearing members, foreign brokers,\1\ and traders must file large trader reports in certain commodities to reduce the number of required reports. The Commission is also deleting, as proposed, the requirement that where an independent account controller trades for a number of commodity pools, the carrying firm must identify separately each such commodity pool. In addition, the amendments delete, as proposed, reporting Rule 17.01(c) under which a reporting firm was required to identify the number and name of other accounts that the trader controlled or owned that were not included in the special account. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
