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 must collect, 
maintain, and use personally identifiable information associated with 
an individual 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.

[[Page 58815]]

II. Routine Uses

    Information in the systems of records covered by this Federal 
Register notice may be disclosed in accordance with the blanket routine 
uses numbered 1 through 19 published at 76 FR 5974 (Feb. 2, 2011). 
These blanket routine uses apply to all CFTC systems of records, except 
as otherwise provided in a specific system of records notice.

III. Enterprise Surveillance, Oversight & Risk Monitoring System

    The Commission proposes to revise a system of records, CFTC-15 
``Large Trader Report Files (Integrated Surveillance System),'' and 
rename the system as ``Enterprise Surveillance, Oversight & Risk 
Monitoring System.'' The notice revises the description of the system 
and enhancements to more broadly cover the Commission's market 
oversight, and market, risk and financial surveillance activities. The 
data covered by this expanded system includes records required to 
monitor the commodity futures and swaps markets, perform various 
mission-critical commodity futures and swaps market analyses, review 
activities of registered entities for compliance with the Commodity 
Exchange Act and Commission rules, and conduct surveillance on both 
intra and inter-exchange and across side-by-side electronic trading 
platforms.
