US Commodity Futures Trading Commission Approves Proposed Rule Offering Alternative to Fingerprinting for Foreign Natural Persons
01/04/2016
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposed a rule offering an alternative to the requirement for foreign natural persons to provide fingerprints when applying for CFTC registration. The proposal provides that any such person’s registered firm may complete a criminal history background check instead of submitting fingerprints. The proposal generally codifies CFTC Staff Letters 12-49 and 13-29 and would supersede those letters, if adopted. Comments on the proposed rule are due on or before February 11, 2016.
