establish an electronic docket for the 

hearing in this proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. System 

requirements for accessing the ESubmittal server are available on the 

NRC’s public website at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

adjudicatory-sub.html. Participants may 

attempt to use other software not listed 

on the website, but should note that the 

NRC’s E-Filing system does not support 

unlisted software, and the NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk will not be 

able to offer assistance in using unlisted 

software. 

Once a participant has obtained a 

digital ID certificate and a docket has 

been created, the participant can then 

submit a petition. Submissions should 

be in Portable Document Format (PDF). 

Additional guidance on PDF 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at http://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the documents are submitted through 

the NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, 

an electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system time-stamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC’s Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the documents on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before a hearing petition to 

intervene is filed so that they can obtain 

access to the document via the E-Filing 

system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Electronic Filing Help Desk is available 

between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted by: (1) First class 

mail addressed to the Office of the 

Secretary of the Commission, U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or 

(2) courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service to the Office of the 

Secretary, 11555 Rockville Pike, 

Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: 

Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff. 

Participants filing a document in this 

manner are responsible for serving the 

document on all other participants. 

Filing is considered complete by firstclass mail as of the time of deposit in 

the mail, or by courier, express mail, or 

expedited delivery service upon 

depositing the document with the 

provider of the service. A presiding 

officer, having granted an exemption 

request from using E-Filing, may require 

a participant or party to use E-Filing if 

the presiding officer subsequently 

determines that the reason for granting 

the exemption from use of E-Filing no 

longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at http://

ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission, 

or the presiding officer. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information, such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

home phone numbers in their filings, 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. However, in some 

instances, a request to intervene will 

require including information on local 

residence in order to demonstrate a 

proximity assertion of interest in the 

proceeding. With respect to copyrighted 

works, except for limited excerpts that 

serve the purpose of the adjudicatory 

filings and would constitute a Fair Use 

application, participants are requested 

not to include copyrighted materials in 

their submission.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

National Futures Association; Notice 

of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness 

of Proposed Change to the Interpretive 

Notice to NFA Compliance Rule 2–9: 

Enhanced Supervisory Requirements: 

Requiring NFA Members To Maintain a 

Record of All Electronic Written 

Communications 

June 21, 2018. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(7) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Exchange Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–7 

under the Exchange Act,2 notice is 

hereby given that on June 12, 2018, 

National Futures Association (‘‘NFA’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) 

the proposed rule change described in 

Items I, II, and III below, which Items 

have been prepared by NFA. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

On November 27, 2017, NFA filed this 

proposed rule change with the 

Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission (‘‘CFTC’’) and requested 

that the CFTC make a determination 

that review of the proposed rule change 

of NFA is not necessary. By letter dated 

December 11, 2017, the CFTC notified 

NFA of its determination not to review 

the proposed rule change.3

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available at the self-regulatory 

organization’s office, on the NFA’s 

website at www.nfa.futures.org, and at 

the SEC’s Public Reference Room. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Description and Text of the Proposed 

Rule Change 

NFA’s Interpretive Notice to NFA 

Compliance Rule 2–9 entitled ‘‘NFA 

Compliance Rule 2–9: Enhanced 

Supervisory Requirements’’ 

(‘‘Interpretive Notice’’) requires NFA 

Member (‘‘Member’’) firms that meet 

certain criteria identified by NFA’s 

Board of Directors (‘‘Board’’) to comply 

with specific enhanced supervisory 

requirements (‘‘Requirements’’) that are 

designed to prevent abusive sales 

practices. NFA’s Board is amending the 

Interpretive Notice to require all 

Members subject to the Requirements to 

maintain a record of all electronic 

written communications between 

associated persons (‘‘APs’’) and 

customers or potential customers, 

including but not limited to, email, text 

messages, instant messages, and any 

other communication that occurs in a 

chat room or on any social media 

platform. The proposed rule change also 

requires all Member firms subject to the 

Requirements of the Interpretive Notice 

to prepare a catalog of electronic written 

communications and for APs to 

maintain a log of those written 

electronic communications. The text of 

the proposed rule change to the 

Interpretive Notice is found in Exhibit 4. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, 

NFA included statements concerning 

the purpose of and basis for the 

proposed rule change and discussed any 

comments it received on the proposed 

rule change. The text of these statements 

may be examined at the places specified 

in Item IV below. NFA has prepared 

summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 

and C below, of the most significant 

aspects of such statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

Section 15A(k) of the Exchange Act 4

makes NFA a national securities 

association for the limited purpose of 

regulating the activities of NFA 

Members who are registered as brokers 

or dealers in security futures products 

under Section 15(b)(11) of the Exchange 

Act.5 NFA’s Interpretive Notice applies 

to all NFA Members who meet the 

criteria in the Interpretive Notice, 

including those that are registered as 

security futures brokers or dealers under 

Section 15(b)(11) of the Exchange Act. 

NFA’s Interpretive Notice to 

Compliance Rule 2–9(b) authorizes 

NFA’s Board to require Members to 

adopt certain enhanced supervisory 

requirements based upon the regulatory 

background of either its APs or 

principals. The Interpretive Notice is 

designed to, among other things, 

minimize the likelihood of a Member 

engaging in deceptive sales practices. 

One of the more important 

Requirements with respect to 

minimizing sales practice problems is 

the requirement that firms make audio
