COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

17 CFR Ch. I

Regulatory Flexibility Agenda

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in accordance with
the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, is publishing a
semiannual agenda of significant rules that the Commission expects to
propose or promulgate over the next year. The Commission welcomes
comments from small entities and others on the agenda.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eileen A. Donovan, Assistant Secretary
for FOIA Matters, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 1155 21st
Street NW., Washington, DC 20581, (202) 418-5096, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
601, et seq. (RFA), sets forth a number of requirements for agency
rulemaking. Among other things, the RFA requires that:

    Semiannually, each agency shall publish in the Federal Register
a regulatory flexibility agenda that shall contain:

    (1) A brief description of the subject area of any rule that
the agency expects to propose or promulgate, which is likely to
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities;

    (2) A summary of the nature of any such rule under
consideration for each subject area listed in the agenda pursuant
to paragraph (1), the objectives and legal basis for the issuance
of the rule, and an approximate schedule for completing action on
any rule for which the agency has issued a general notice of
proposed rulemaking; and

    (3) The name and telephone number of an agency official
knowledgeable about the items listed in paragraph (1). 5 U.S.C.
602(a).

     The Commission has prepared an agenda of significant rules
that it presently expects may be considered during the course of
the next year. These rules may have some impact on small
entities.\1\ In this regard, section 602(d) of the RFA, 5 U.S.C.
602(d), provides: ``Nothing in [section 602] precludes an agency
from considering or acting on any matter not included in a
regulatory flexibility agenda or requires an agency to consider or
act on any matter listed in such agenda.''

     The Commission's fall 2003 regulatory flexibility agenda is
set forth below.

Issued in Washington, DC on September 2, 2003, by the Commission.

 Jean A. Webb,

Secretary of the Commission.


\1\ The Commission published its definition of small entity to be used
in connection with rulemaking proceedings on April 30, 1982 (47 FR
18618). Pursuant to that definition, the Commission is not required to
list many of the agenda items contained in this regulatory flexibility
agenda. See 5 U.S.C. 602(a)(1). Moreover, the Commission has previously
certified, pursuant to section 605 of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 605, that
certain items contained in this agenda will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Accordingly,
the listing of a rule in this regulatory flexibility agenda should not,
in any event, be taken as a determination that a rule, when proposed or
promulgated, will in fact require a regulatory flexibility analysis.
However, the Commission hopes that the publication of an agenda that
includes significant rules, regardless of their potential impact on
small entities, may serve the public generally by providing an early
and meaningful opportunity to participate in and comment on the
formulation of new or revised regulations. In addition to publishing
the regulatory flexibility agenda, the Commission also makes available
to the public, on a monthly basis, a calendar and, on a weekly basis,
posts an advisory on its website (http://www.cftc.gov) that lists rules
that the Commission is considering or will consider in the near future.

3974. [bull] INTERAGENCY PROPOSAL TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF
PRIVACY NOTICES UNDER THE GRAMM--LEACH--BLILEY ACT




Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is
undetermined.

Abstract: Subtitle A of the Gramm--Leach--Bliley Act (GLB Act),
captioned Disclosure of Nonpublic Personal Information (15 U.S.C. 6801
et seq.), requires each financial institution to provide a notice of
its privacy policies and practices to its consumer customers. In
general, the privacy notices must describe a financial institution's
policies and practices with respect to disclosing nonpublic personal
information about a consumer to both affiliated and nonaffiliated third
parties, and provide a consumer a reasonable opportunity to direct the
institution not to share nonpublic personal information about the
consumer with nonaffiliated third parties. The GLB Act agencies,
including the CFTC, have published substantially identical regulations
to implement GLB title V, known collectively as the ``privacy rule.''
Many notices issued under the privacy rule were long and complex, and
difficult to compare with each other. Consequently, GLB Act agencies
are considering whether to amend the privacy rule to provide for
simpler, more useful notices. The GLB Act agencies intend to issue an
advance notice of proposed rulemaking to determine whether to propose
changes to the privacy rule, and if so, will seek further public
comment on specific programs. The agencies expect that consumer testing
would be a key component in the development of any specific proposals.

Abstract: The Commission proposes to codify some of the interpretations
and positions that its staff has taken regarding registration
requirements under part 30 of the Commission's rules, which governs,
generally, the solicitation and sale of foreign futures and foreign
options contracts to customers located in the United States. The
Commission proposes to modify Rule 30.4(a) by clarifying that foreign
futures and options brokers, including those with U.S. bank branches,
are not required to register as futures commission merchants (FCMs)
pursuant to Rule 30.4, or seek Rule 30.10 relief, if they carry only:
(1) customer omnibus accounts for U.S. FCMs; (2) U.S. affiliate
accounts that are proprietary to the foreign futures and options
broker; or (3) U.S. accounts that are proprietary to a U.S. FCM. In
addition, proposed Rule 30.10(a) will specify representations that must
be made by a foreign futures and options broker that has U.S. bank
branches in order to obtain a Rule 30.10 comparability exemption or to
come within the registration exception of Rule 30.4.

Abstract: The proposal would revise the rules on Commission access to
information on transactions on electronic trading facilities operating
as exempt commercial markets under the Commodity Exchange Act to
provide for access to more relevant and useful information. The

certain trading data if, as defined, they perform a significant price
discovery function in the underlying cash market.

undetermined.

Legal Authority: 31 USC 3720D; 31 CFR 285.11

CFR Citation: 17 CFR 143

Abstract: Pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) of
1996, the Department of the Treasury has promulgated regulations
authorizing and governing the administrative garnishment of wages of
persons, not employed by the Federal government, who owe claims to the
United States. Under the DCIA and Treasury regulations, Federal
agencies can promulgate rules allowing for the garnishment of such
claims arising from actions within their jurisdiction. As a general
matter, the individual agencies' rules must adopt, or otherwise conform
to, the Treasury rules. To expedite the collection of claims arising
from activity within its jurisdiction, the Commission is amending its
part 143 rules, governing debt collections, to provide for
administrative wage garnishment.

3980. [bull] HAIRCUTS ON FOREIGN CURRENCY

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is
undetermined.

Legal Authority: 7 USC 6f(b)

CFR Citation: 17 CFR 1.17

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission is proposing to amend regulations that specify
required capital charges, or exclusions from net capital, to be
deducted by futures commission merchants (FCMs) and introducing brokers
(IBs) when computing their adjusted net capital. For forward contracts
that are not covered by an open futures contract or commodity option,
and are in specified foreign currencies (British pounds, Canadian
dollars, Japanese yen, Swiss francs or the Euro), the proposed
amendment would apply a capital charge of 6 percent of the market value
of the FCM's or IB's uncovered forward contracts in these currencies.
Uncovered forwards in any other non--U.S. currency would remain subject
to the 20 percent capital charge currently set forth in the
Commission's regulations.
