The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has published a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Parts 15, 16 and 17 of its regulations and create a separate data reporting framework for certain fully collateralized event contracts. The proposal would move reporting for those contracts away from provisions in Parts 38, 39, 43 and 45 and instead require reporting under Parts 15 through 18. The changes would apply to certain reporting markets, futures commission merchants, clearing members and foreign brokers. The contracts covered by the proposal have been operating under staff no-action letters since 2017. As part of the package, the Commission would add a new Section 16.03, Covered Event Contracts, to Part 16, with reporting routed through Sections 16.00 and 16.01 and Parts 17 and 18.
