| 00-30267 | A New Regulatory Framework for Multilateral Transaction Execution Facilities, Intermediaries and Clearing Organizations | Rule | The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) is promulgating a new regulatory framework to apply to multilateral transaction execution facilities, to market intermediaries and to clearing organizations. This new framework constitutes a broad exemption under the authority of section 4(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act or CEA) from many of the current rules applicable to designated contract markets. In addition, the new framework relies more heavily on disclosure rather than merit regulation. It establishes three new market categories, including the category of exempt multilateral transaction execution facility and two categories of Commission-recognized and regulated multilateral transaction execution facilities. In companion releases published in this edition of the Federal Register, the Commission also is adopting new rules for intermediaries and entities that clear derivative transactions. These final rules make fundamental and far-reaching changes to Federal regulation of commodity futures and option markets. However, nothing in these rules alters or diminishes the Commission's responsibility for overseeing and enforcing compliance by self-regulatory organizations, Commission registrants and market participants with the provisions of the Act. The Commission in a companion release published in this edition of the Federal Register also is expanding and clarifying the operation of the current swaps exemption. Nothing in these releases, however, would affect the continued vitality of the Commission's exemption for swaps transactions under part 35 of its rules, or any of its other existing exemptions, policy statements or interpretations. Moreover, nothing in the final rules would affect the application of any statutory exclusion, including in particular, the applicability of the exclusion under section 2(a)(1)(A)(ii), known as "the Treasury Amendment." | 2000-12-13 | 2000 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/12/13/00-30267/a-new-regulatory-framework-for-multilateral-transaction-execution-facilities-intermediaries-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-13/pdf/00-30267.pdf | Commodity Futures Trading Commission | 77 | The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) is promulgating a new regulatory framework to apply to multilateral transaction execution facilities, to market intermediaries and to clearing organizations.
