Adoption of Revised Registration Form 8-R

概要

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "Commission" or "CFTC") is revising its Form 8-R, the application form that individuals must use to register with the Commission as an associated person of a registrant, floor broker, or floor trader, or to be listed as a principal of a registrant (collectively, "applicants"). These revisions, which are essentially technical and non-substantive in nature, have been adopted to assist the National Futures Association ("NFA") in the performance of the registration functions authorized by the Commission, and in the implementation and operation of NFA's program to register and regulate directly the associated persons sponsored by members of NFA.
