SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Privacy of Consumer Financial Information (OMB Control No.
3038-0055). This is a request for an extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 124 of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of
2000 \2\ amended the Commodity Exchange Act (the ``Act'') and added a
new Section 5g \3\ to the Act to (i) provide that futures commission
merchants, commodity trading advisors, commodity pool operators, and
introducing brokers that are subject to CFTC jurisdiction with respect
to any financial activity shall be treated as a financial institution
for purposes of Title V, Subtitle A of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
(``GLB Act''), (ii) treat the Commission as a Federal functional
regulator for purposes of applying the provisions of the GLB Act, and
(iii) direct the Commission to prescribe regulations under Title V of
the GLB Act.

The Commission adopted regulations for these entities under Part
160 and later extended them to retail foreign exchange dealers, swap
dealers, and major swap participants.\4\ Part 160 requires those
subject to the regulations, among other things, to provide privacy and
opt out notices to customers and consumers, and to adopt appropriate
policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information.
In April 2019, the Commission adopted amendments to its regulations to
provide an exception to its annual privacy notice requirement under
certain conditions.\5\
