CFTC Staff Issues Exemptive Letter to Certain Registered Commodity Pool Operators Regarding Filing Form CPO-PQR

Washington, DC — The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) issued a letter recently providing exemptive relief regarding filing Commission Form CPO-PQR for those commodity pool operators (CPOs) that are registered, but have no reporting obligations under part 4 of the Commission’s regulations.

DSIO granted the relief because requiring CPOs that only operate pools pursuant to Commission regulations 4.5 or 4.13(a)(3) to report on Form CPO-PQR would provide limited additional information regarding that CPO beyond that already available to the Commission as part of the registration process and the CPO’s ongoing obligations as a registrant.
