CFTC RIN: 3038-AC62 Publication ID: Spring 2009 
Title: Amendments Pertinent to Registered Entities  
Abstract: The Commission is proposing several amendments to enhance its ability to administer the Commodity Exchange Act (Act) with respect to registered entities. In addition to clarifying and technical amendments, the proposed amendments would require the filing of agreements transferring equity interests of 10 percent or more in designated contract markets (DCM) with the Commission and subsequent certifications that subject DCMs continue to comply with the designation criteria and core principles of the Act. The proposed amendments also would require registered entities to provide notice of legal proceedings that may impact a product's trading and explicitly define resolutions and procedures under which emergency actions are taken as exchange rules that may be certified prior to implementation.
