Description

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is proposing revisions to its regulations to establish an alternate framework for reporting data for certain fully collateralized event contracts. These revisions would require certain reporting markets, futures commission merchants, clearing members, and foreign brokers to report certain event contracts under regulations in parts 15 through 18 instead of parts 38, 39, 43, and 45. The proposal addresses data reporting requirements for event contracts with binary or variable payout structures, which are generally considered swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act. Comments on the proposal are due by July 31, 2026.
