The CFTC requested comments on proposed amendments to regulations that concern the conditions under which certain non-U.S. entities (collectively, "Foreign Intermediaries") may qualify for exemptions from registration with the CFTC. These Foreign Intermediaries include non-U.S. entities acting in the capacity of futures commission merchants, introducing brokers, commodity trading advisors and commodity pool operators. The request for comments was published in the Federal Register.
Comments on the proposed amendments must be submitted by September 6, 2016.
