Repeal of the Exempt Commercial Market and Exempt Board of Trade Exemptions

Riepilogo

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "Commission") is taking final action to revise its regulations by removing the part 36 regulations. Those regulations implemented provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA") that established exempt boards of trade and exempt commercial markets--two categories of derivatives- trading platforms that were eliminated from the CEA by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"). This action also removes various cross-references in other Commission regulations implicating exempt boards of trade and exempt commercial markets.
