Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update—Limited Extension to Certain Relief for FCMs and IBs
The CFTC's Market Participants Division (MPD), formerly the Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight, recently issued no-action letter 21-05 extending certain no-action relief for futures commission merchants (FCM) and introducing brokers (IB) with respect to regulatory obligations for time-stamping of orders. This no-action relief is extended through April 15, 2021. NFA is also extending through April 15, 2021, similar relief for Members that are in compliance with the terms of MPD's no-action relief.
MPD also recently issued no-action letter 21-04 extending certain no-action relief for IBs with respect to regulatory obligations for recordkeeping of oral communications. This no-action relief is extended through March 31, 2021. NFA is also extending through March 31, 2021, similar relief for Members that are in compliance with the terms of MPD's no-action relief. Neither MPD nor NFA expects to extend this relief further.
