[Adopted Effective July 25, 2006. Effective dates of amendments: April 1, 2009; January 2, 2012; September 25, 2012; and December 2, 2013.]

(a) Each Forex Dealer Member must file electronically the following reports with NFA within the specified time periods in a form and manner prescribed by NFA:

    (1) Daily electronic reports showing liabilities to customers and any other financial or operational information required by NFA. The report must be prepared each business day and must be filed by noon on the following business day.

    (2) Monthly operational and risk management reports. These reports must be filed within seventeen business days after the end of each month for which the report is prepared.

    (3) Quarterly reports containing the most updated performance disclosures required by CFTC Regulation 5.5(e)(1)(i) - (iii). These reports must be filed within seventeen business days after the end of each quarter for which the report is prepared.

(b) No Forex Dealer Member may access NFA's electronic financial reports database until NFA has assigned it a unique identifying code and password. Each Forex Dealer Member is responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of its identifying code and password and that of each person it authorizes to file electronic reports on its behalf.

(c) Submitting any of these reports certifies that the person filing it is a supervisory employee that is, or is under the ultimate supervision of, a listed principal who is also an NFA Associate; that the person filing it is duly authorized to bind the Forex Dealer Member; and that, to the best of that person's knowledge, all information in the report is true, correct, and complete.

(d) Any report that is filed after it is due shall be accompanied by a fee of $1,000 for each business day it is late. Payment and acceptance of the fee does not preclude NFA from filing a disciplinary action for failure to comply with the deadlines imposed by this rule.
