is retiring two systems of records 

notices (SORNs), CFTC–20 Registration

from its inventory of record systems 

because the relevant records are covered 

by the revised SORN CFTC–12, National

Commission, Three Lafayette Centre,

20581. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 

552a, and as part of the Commodity 

Futures Trading Commission effort to 

review and update system of records 

notices, the Commission is retiring two 

system of records notices, CFTC–20 

Registration and CFTC–28 SelfRegulatory Organization Disciplinary 

Action Files. The Commission is retiring 

these system notices because the records 

are covered by the revised SORN CFTC– 

12, NFA Applications Suite System. 

The Commission will continue to 

authorize the NFA to collect and 

maintain records on its behalf by 

delegated authority, as provided in the 

revised CFTC–12, National Futures 

Association (NFA) Applications Suite 

System (Exempted). The Commission 

will rely upon and follow the revised 

CFTC–12 NFA Applications Suite 

System (Exempted). Eliminating CFTC– 

20 and CFTC–28 will not have an 

adverse impact on individuals and will 

promote the overall streamlining and 

management of CFTC Privacy Act 

record systems. 

Accordingly, as of its effective date, 

this notice formally terminates system 

of records notices CFTC–20 and CFTC– 

28 and removes them from the 

inventory of the Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission system of records 

notices. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on September 

24, 2014, by the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. The Privacy Act 

Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 

U.S.C. 552a, a ‘‘system of records’’ is 

defined as any group of records under 

the control of a federal government 

agency from which information about 

individuals is retrieved by name or 

other personal identifier. The Privacy 

Act establishes the means by which 

government agencies collect, maintain, 

and use information that is personally 

identifiable in a government system of 

records. 

Each government agency is required 

to publish a notice in the Federal 

Register of a system of records in which 

the agency identifies and describes each 

system of records it maintains, the 

reasons why the agency uses the 

personally identifying information 

therein, the routine uses for which the 

agency will disclose such information 

outside the agency, and how individuals 

may exercise their rights under the 

Privacy Act to determine if the system 

contains information about them, among 

other things. 

II. NFA Applications Suite System 

(Exempt) 

The Commission proposes to revise a 

system of records notice (SORN), CFTC– 

12, ‘‘Fitness Investigations,’’ and rename 

the notice as ‘‘National Futures 

Association (NFA) Applications Suite 

System (Exempted).’’ The notice revises 

the description of the system and 

enhancements to more broadly cover the 

activities of NFA on behalf of the 

Commission by delegated authority and 

also covers new data collections for 

swap dealers, major swap participants 

and retail foreign exchange dealers as 

required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform Act and recent Commission 

rules. The revised notice also exempts 

from certain Privacy Act requirements 

those records in this system that refer, 

relate to or are from third-party sources 

related to fitness or other investigations 

of registrants or applicants for 

registration. Though subject to change 

with future information technology 

upgrades, the notice covers activities 

that are currently automated by the 

following NFA databases and 

applications:
