The NFA will amend its compliance rules and interpretive notices to reflect changes to FinCEN's final rules relating to customer due diligence requirements for certain financial institutions.

FINRA announced the effective dates of recently approved rules establishing margin requirements for "to-be-announced" transactions and other forward-settling agency securities transactions.

The SEC adopted amendments and guidance concerning regulatory reporting and public dissemination of security-based swap transactions. The final amendments were published in the Federal Register.

The CFTC adopted a proposed Order to: (i) allow Federal Reserve Banks to hold the customer funds of systemically important derivatives clearing organizations; and (ii) exempt such banks from legal liability under the CEA.

The CFTC requested comment on proposed amendments that apply to reports to be filed by futures commission merchants, swap dealers and major swap participants. The comment request was published in the Federal Register.
