Abstract:
In January 2018, the Commission adopted regulation 9.11(b)(3)(ii) requiring a designated contract market (DCM) or swap execution facility (SEF) (collectively, “exchange”) to include two additional elements in the disciplinary or access denial notice action provided to the National Futures Association. First, an exchange must include the type of product (as applicable) involved in the adverse action. Requiring an exchange to provide this information in the disciplinary or access denial notice will provide the Commission, market participants, the public, and other exchanges with greater transparency concerning where market abuses originate and whether the abuses are concentrated among certain product types. Second, an exchange must indicate in its notice of disciplinary or access denial actions whether the violation underlying the notice resulted in financial harm to any customers. The Commission believes that the inclusion of customer harm is essential because it cannot effectively perform its regulatory and oversight functions without knowledge of those instances in which brokers violate their fiduciary duty to customers by taking advantage of customer orders and engaging in fraudulent activity. The Commission concluded that the additional burden for an exchange to add the two additional elements in the contents of the disciplinary or access denial notice is de minimis and will not change the burden hours for the collection.
