Large Trader Reporting Requirements

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission" or "CFTC") is amending certain regulations setting forth large trader position reporting requirements for futures and options. The amendments, among other things, remove the 80-character submission standard and delegate authority to the Director of the Office of Data and Technology to designate a modern submission standard for reports required to be submitted, and replace certain data fields previously with an appendix specifying and adding certain applicable data elements.
