Privacy Act Regulations

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is adopting amendments to certain of its regulations regarding exemptions for certain systems of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (Privacy Act) in order to better conform to the requirements of the Privacy Act and the guidance contained in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication Under the Privacy Act (OMB A-108). The final rule more specifically identifies the systems of records currently included in the regulation, adds additional systems of records that the Commission is exempting, enumerates the sections of the Privacy Act from which the Commission is exempting each system of records, sets forth the reasons for those exemptions, and reorganizes the regulations for ease of reference.
