The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) today announced that additional time would be provided to persons seeking to rely upon a recently-issued no-action letter.
On Thursday, June 27, 2013, DSIO issued CFTC Letter No. 13-37, which provided time-limited no-action relief for persons engaging in floor trader activities. To rely on the relief provided in the no-action letter, a person was required to file a claim with DSIO prior to July 1, 2013.
Today, DSIO announced that, in order for a person to rely upon the relief, the person must file a claim prior to the close of business on Friday, July 5, 2013. Claims for relief must be filed with the Division using the email address dsionoaction@cftc.gov, subject to the specific instructions set forth in CFTC Letter No. 13-37.
