CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz Statement Of Support For OCR No-Action Relief

Date 25/09/2020

The Commission adopted revisions to its Ownership and Control Reports (OCR) regime in 2013. The updated forms were supposed to provide the Commission with greater insight into who owns and who controls futures and swaps accounts. They were also supposed to provide the Commission with information, for the first time, about market participants who trade large volumes in the futures and swaps markets, but end the day without reportable positions. Unfortunately, the 2013 revisions have proven to be unworkable for reporting entities. For example, reporting entities have found impractical the low 50-contract reporting threshold and the requirement to report to the Commission the names of trading account owners by 9 a.m. ET on the business day following the day on which the account becomes reportable. This is why some of the requirements have been the subject of successive no-action letters since the 2013 amendments. I support today’s extension of no-action relief that provides critical relief from the most burdensome and confusing requirements of the OCR forms.
