Use of Electronic Media by Commodity Pool Operators and Commodity Trading Advisors

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the ``Commission'') today is proposing technical changes to its rules requiring filing and distribution of Disclosure Documents by commodity pool operators (``CPOs'') and commodity trading advisors (``CTAs''). These proposals are intended to clarify certain rule provisions that are premised upon the filing and distribution of paper documents, in light of the interpretations set forth in a recent interpretative release ``Interpretation Regarding Use of Electronic Media by Commodity Pool Operators and Commodity Trading Advisors'' (61 FR 42146 (August 14, 1996)) outlining the Commission's views concerning the use of electronic media by CPOs and CTAs.
