Abstract: Section 5c(c) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 7a–

2(c), establishes procedures for 

registered entities (designated contract 

markets, registered derivatives 

transaction execution facilities and 

registered derivatives clearing 

organizations) to implement new rules 

and rule amendments by either seeking 

prior approval or (for most rules) 

certifying to the Commission that such 

rules or rule amendments do not violate 

the Act or Commission regulations. 

Rules 40.4, 40.5 and 40.6 implement 

these statutory provisions. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to

and disclosing and providing
