COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

Changes in Divisional Structure and Delegations of Authority

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Final rules.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission is amending its rules to reflect the 
reassignment of responsibilities, including delegations of authority, 
resulting from its recent reorganization of Commission staff. Effective 
July 1, 2002, the Commission reassigned the responsibilities of the 
former Division of Trading and Markets and Division of Economic 
Analysis to the newly established Division of Clearing and Intermediary 
Oversight, Division of Market Oversight and Office of the Chief 
Economist. The reorganized divisions will more effectively implement 
the provisions of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 
(CFMA).

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 7, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul M. Architzel, Division of Market 
Oversight, Commodity Futures Trading

DC 20581. Telephone 202-418-5260. E-mail: [[email protected]].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21, 2000, the President signed 
into law the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (``CFMA'') 
which extensively revises the Commodity Exchange Act (Act)\1\ In order 
to more effectively implement its provisions, the Commission has 
reorganized its operating divisions. Under the reorganized structure, 
the Division of Trading and Markets and the Division of Economic 
Analysis (the former divisions) has been reconfigured into two new 
divisions, the Division of Clearing and Intermediary Oversight and the 
Division of Market Oversight (the new divisions), and the Office of the 
Chief Economist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Commodity Exchange Act may be found at 7 U.S.C. 1 et 
seq. (2000), as amended by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act 
of 2000, Appendix E of Pub. L. 106-554, 114 Stat. 2763 (2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission is amending several of its rules in Chapter I of 
Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect this reorganized 
structure. Accordingly, as indicated in the chart below, the Commission 
is deleting from its rules references to the former divisions and 
replacing them with references to the new divisions. As amended, the 
rules will reflect the new assignments of responsibilities, including 
delegated authorities, to the two new divisions.
    The Commission is also amending rule 140.99, which governs requests 
for exemptive, no-action and interpretative letters. Before its 
amendment, rule 140.99 required all requests to be filed with the 
Division of Trading and Markets, and thereafter routed to the 
appropriate office or division. The Commission has determined that it 
will be more efficient to require the requester to file the request 
directly with the division with operating responsibility for 
administering the provision of the Act or of the Commission's 
regulations from which relief is sought. Accordingly, the Commission is 
amending rule 140.99 to require that requests relating to certain 
specific subject matter areas (as enumerated in the amended rule) be 
filed with the division with operating responsibility for that subject 
matter area.
    The Commission is deleting rule 140.100 which it adopted on July 9, 
2002, 67 FR 45299. That rule provided that all delegations of authority 
from the Commission to the Directors of the former divisions, and their 
respective designees, as set forth in Chapter I of Title 17 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations, were delegated jointly to the respective 
Directors of the new divisions, and their respective designees. Now 
that the Commission has amended several of its rules to reflect the new 
agency structure, rule 140.100 is no longer necessary. Finally, the 
Commission is removing and reserving rules 1.41a, 1.41c and 1.42, which 
have been superseded by the CFMA\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Section 15 of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended by the 
CFMA, provides that before promulgating a regulation under this Act 
or issuing an order, the Commission shall consider the costs and 
benefits of the action of the Commission. These rules govern 
internal agency organization, procedure, and practice, and therefore 
the Commission finds that none of the considerations enumerated in 
section 15(a)(2) of the Act, as amended, are applicable to these 
rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Related Matters

Administrative Procedure Act

    The Commission has determined that restructuring of 
responsibilities, including delegations of authority, relates solely to 
agency organization, procedure and practice. Therefore, the provisions 
of the Administrative Procedure Act that generally require notice of 
proposed rulemaking and that provide other opportunities for public 
participation are not applicable.\3\ The Commission further finds that, 
because the rules have no adverse effect upon a member of the public, 
there is good cause to make them effective immediately upon publication 
in the Federal Register.
