Résumé

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission" or "CFTC") hereby amends 17 CFR Part 171, by adding language to Commission Rule Sec. 171.9(b) (manner of service), allowing for service by facsimile ("fax") or by electronic means ("e-mail"), making either means of service effective upon receipt. The amendment will also indicate that parties who consent to accepting service of documents by electronic means or fax in the underlying NFA action also consent to accepting service by the same means in proceedings under Part 171.
