The CFTC unanimously approved final rules updating Parts 3 and 9 to integrate existing advisory guidance, incorporate SEFs and update provisions currently applicable to designated contract markets (DCMs). They revise existing Part 9 rules to delete numerous cross-references to previously deleted Part 8 rules, and add citations to applicable parallel provisions contained in Part 37 for SEFs and Part 38 for DCMs. The final rules also require the publication of final disciplinary and access denial actions taken by the SEFs and DCMs on their websites. Finally, the CFTC approved an updated notice and order for the National Futures Association to receive and process exchange disciplinary and access denial notices.
