Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
This is due to error on previous burden worksheet - See Supplementary Document The increased burden is due to discretionary changes that the Commission has made to Sections 4.5 and 4.14 and the rescission of Section 4.13(a)(4), which modify the exclusions and exemptions available to entities and which results in more entities being subject to the Commission's compliance regime for CPOs and CTAs. Additionally, the Commission modified Sections 4.7, 4.24, and 4.34, which will result in increased compliance burdens for certain registrants. Finally, the Commission adopted Section 4.27 and Forms CPO-PQR and CTA-PR, which require registrants to report certain data to the Commission on a regular basis.
