How do I terminate an AP, Branch Office Manager or Principal?
The sponsor must file an electronic Individual Withdrawal Notice (Form 8-T) to terminate any of its APs, Branch Office Managers or individual principals who are pending, temporarily licensed, registered or approved. Broker-dealers may no longer file a Form U-5 in lieu of the Form 8-T; however, they may elect to complete and file the U-5 disciplinary questions as part of the Individual Withdrawal Notice in ORS. The sponsor that files the individual Withdrawal Notice must promptly provide a hard copy version to the person whose association has been terminated. This is particularly important for APs who are moving to a different sponsor and who wish to engage in Security Futures Products transactions. The new sponsor must review the AP's most recent Form 8-T or U-5 and the AP must provide a copy of it to the new sponsor on request. An Individual Withdrawal Notice must be filed within 30 days of the termination of an AP, principal or branch office manager. A fee of $100 will be charged for a termination notice received more than 30 days after the actual termination date.

As a floor broker and floor trader, can I use the Online Registration System to withdraw my registration?
No, FBs and FTs must request to withdraw their registration using a hard copy version of Form 8-W. You may download a copy of this form from NFA's web site and submit it to NFA's main business address. The withdrawal will become effective 30 days from the date NFA receives the request and required attachments unless the CFTC or NFA denies, conditions, postpones or expedites the withdrawal. Individuals who no longer have granted trading privileges on any designated contract market or derivative transaction execution facility ("DTEF") should not file this form. FB and FT registration terminates automatically once NFA is notified that an individual no longer has trading privileges on any contract market or DTEF.
