COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

17 CFR Ch. I

Regulatory Flexibility Agenda

AGENCY:

Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION:

Semiannual regulatory agenda.

SUMMARY:

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in accordance with the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, is publishing a semiannual agenda of significant rules which the Commission expects to propose or promulgate over the next year. The Commission welcomes comments from small entities and others on the agenda.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Barbara Webster Black, Special Assistant to the Executive Director, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 1155 21st Street NW., Washington, DC 20581, (202) 418-5130, bblack@cftc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq. (RFA), sets forth a number of requirements for agency rulemaking. Among other things, the RFA requires that:

(a) During the months of April and October of each year, each agency shall publish in the Federal Register a regulatory flexibility agenda that shall contain:

(1) A brief description of the subject area of any rule which the agency expects to propose or promulgate which is likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities;

(2) A summary of the nature of any such rule under consideration for each subject area listed in the agenda pursuant to paragraph (1), the objectives and legal basis for the issuance of the rule, and an approximate schedule for completing action on any rule for which the agency has issued a general notice of proposed rulemaking; and

(3) The name and telephone number of an agency official knowledgeable about the items listed in paragraph (1). 5 U.S.C. 602(a).

The Commission has prepared an agenda of significant rules which it presently expects may be considered during the course of the next year. These rules may have some impact on small entities.1 In this regard, section 602(d) of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 602(d), provides: "Nothing in [section 602] precludes an agency from considering or acting on any matter not included in a regulatory flexibility agenda or requires an agency to consider or act on any matter listed in such agenda."

The Commission's spring 2002 regulatory flexibility agenda is set forth below.
Issued in Washington, DC, on February 27, 2002 by the Commission.

Catherine D. Dixon, Assistant Secretary of the Commission.

1The Commission published its definition of small entity to be used in connection with rulemaking proceedings on April 30, 1982 (47 FR 18618). Pursuant to that definition, the Commission is not required to list many of the agenda items contained in this regulatory flexibility agenda. See 5 U.S.C. 602(a)(1). Moreover, the Commission has previously certified, pursuant to section 605 of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 605, that certain items contained in this agenda will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Accordingly, the listing of a rule in this regulatory flexibility agenda should not, in any event, be taken as a determination that a rule, when proposed or promulgated, will in fact require a regulatory flexibility analysis. However, the Commission hopes that the publication of an agenda which includes significant rules, regardless of their potential impact on small entities, may serve the public generally by providing an early and meaningful opportunity to participate in and comment on the formulation of new or revised regulations. In addition to publishing the regulatory flexibility agenda, the Commission also makes available to the public, on a monthly basis, a calendar and, on a weekly basis, posts an advisory on its website www.cftc.gov which lists rules that the Commission is considering or will consider in the near future.

The Commission proposes to modify Rule 30.4(a) by clarifying that foreign futures and options brokers, including those with U.S. bank branches, are not required to register as futures commission merchants (FCMs) pursuant to Rule 30.4, or seek Rule 30.10 relief, if they fall generally into the following categories: (1) those that carry customer omnibus accounts for U.S. FCMs; (2) those that carry U.S. affiliate accounts that are proprietary to the foreign futures and options broker; and (3) those that carry U.S. accounts that are proprietary to a U.S. FCM. In addition, proposed Rule 30.10(a) will specify representations that must be made by a foreign futures and options broker that has U.S. bank branches in order to obtain a Rule 30.10 comparability exemption or to come within the registration exception of Rule 30.4.
