deny, revoke or condition registration

registrant is subject to various statutory 

disqualifications from registration, such 

as a prior registration revocation or 

conviction of a felony or certain 

misdemeanors. The registration 

application, which must be updated as 

necessary, requires information about an 

applicant’s or registrant’s disciplinary 

history so that the person’s fitness for 

registration may be evaluated. In 

addition, basic identifying information 

is required so that a database will be 

available to current and prospective 

customers, the public, and the news 

media. 

The information on registration 

applications is used to develop a 

database known as BASIC (Background 

Affiliation Status Information Center), 

which is Internet-accessible and 

consulted frequently by customers, 

prospective customers, the general 

public, and the news media to review 

data provided by applicants and 

registrants and to compare it to 

information provided by entities making 

solicitations.

numbers for the CFTC’s regulations 

were published on December 30, 1981. 

See 46 FR 63035 (Dec. 30, 1981). The
