CFTC Requests Comments on FCM, SD and MSP Compliance Duties Information Collection (Fed. Reg.)

The CFTC requested comments on an Information Collection Request ("ICR") that was made under CFTC Rule 3.3. The rule requires each futures commission merchant ("FCM"), swap dealer ("SD") and major swap participant ("MSP") file a Form 8-R in order to designate the chief compliance officer ("CCO") who is responsible for the development and administration of policies and procedures that fulfill certain FCM, SD or MSP duties in order to ensure compliance with the CEA and CFTC rules. The request for comments was published in the Federal Register.

Comments on the CFTC ICR must be submitted by February 22, 2016.
