The OCR Final Rule introduces to the CFTC's transaction and reporting program certain new and updated forms for reporting trader identification and market participant data.
On September 28, 2015, the US Commodity Futures Trading
Commission's Division of Market Oversight issued a no- action
letter, CFTC Letter No. 15-52, that provides additional time for
reporting parties to comply with certain reporting requirements of
the ownership and control final rule (OCR Final Rule). The OCR
Final Rule introduces to the CFTC's transaction and reporting
program certain new and updated forms for reporting trader
identification and market participant data. CFTC Letter No. 15-52
supersedes previous no-action relief issued in February 2015, and
extends relief until April 2016, September 2016, or February 2017,
depending on the type of reporting requirement.
