76 FR 43874

The CFTC is amending its rules implementing new statutory provisions

enacted by titles VII and X of the Dodd- Frank Act. Section 1093 of the Dodd-Frank Act provides for certain amendments to title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The GLB Act sets forth certain protections for the privacy of consumer financial information and was amended by the Dodd-Frank Act to affirm the Commission's jurisdiction in this area. The Commission's

amendments to its regulations, inter alia, broaden the scope of part 160 to

cover two new entities created by title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act: swap dealers and major swap participants.

Effective Date: September 20, 2011
