COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION
The National Futures Association's Proposed Requirements for
Break-Even Analyses in Commodity Pool Disclosure Documents
AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
ACTION: Extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 15, 1994, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(``Commission'') published in the Federal Register a request for public
comment on the National Futures Association's (``NFA's'') proposed
amendment and Interpretive Notice to its Compliance Rule 2-13. 59 FR
30775 (June 15, 1994). The proposal would establish requirements
regarding the use of break-even analyses in commodity pool disclosure
documents. The original comment period expires on July 15, 1994.
By letter to the Commission dated July 11, 1994, the Managed
Futures Association (``MFA'') requested a thirty-three-day extension of
the comment period to August 17, 1994. The MFA indicated that it had
been meeting with its members frequently to consider the issues
presented by the NFA's proposal. The MFA further indicated that that
consultative process was continuing and that it believed that
significant responsive comments were being developed.
Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by Commission Regulation
140.96(b), the Director of the Division of Trading and Markets
(``Division'') has determined that an extension of the period for the
request for public comments on NFA's proposal is in the public interest
and will assist the Commission in considering the view of interested
persons. In order to ensure that all interested persons have an
adequate opportunity to submit meaningful comments, the Division, on
behalf of the Commission, is extending the comment period for an
additional thirty-three days.
DATES: The comment period will remain open through August 25, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons should submit their views and comments to
Jean A. Webb, Secretary, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 2033 K
Street NW., Washington, DC 20581. Telephone: (202) 254-6314.
