Due to the rescission of Regulation 4.13(a)(4) which had provided exemption from registration to certain types of CPOs, the CFTCs Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight has fielded an increase in requests for no-action relief for failure to register as a CPO if another person would serve as the registered CPO of the pool in lieu of the requesting CPO. In order to manage the increased volume, the process has been simplified in the form of a provided template for CPOs meeting certain criteria.
Through the new streamlined process, the CPO no action request must satisfy the following standards:
a Delegating CPO is an Unaffiliated Board Member, as defined in the letter provided below, then the CPO must be subject to liability as a Board member in laws of the CPO under which it is established.
The Delegating CPO must submit a request for relief in the form within in the letter provided below. The request must include a statement from the Designated CPO that it has acknowledged being designated as the registered CPO for the pool.
The CFTC Letter No 14-69 along with the request form can be found by clicking here.
