Amendments to Commodity Pool Operator and Commodity Trading Advisor Regulations Resulting From the Dodd-Frank Act

CFTC Dodd-Frank Rulemaking

76 Fed. Reg. 11701

March 3, 2011

The CFTC is proposing to amend its regulations affecting the operations and activities of commodity pool operators (CPOs) and commodity trading advisors (CTAs) in order to have those regulations reflect changes made to the Commodity Exchange Act by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). The Proposal is intended to clarify and ensure that the requirements governing the operations and activities of CPOs and CTAs continue to apply to these intermediaries in the context of their involvement with swap transactions.
