CFTC Shuffles Paperwork Between Acronym Agencies
Published Date: 12/15/2025
Notice
Summary
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is asking for public feedback on a new information collection about the costs of following anti-money laundering rules. This affects banks and businesses that must report certain info, and comments are due by January 14, 2026. The goal is to understand the paperwork burden and keep things fair without wasting time or money.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Two-Hour Survey Burden for FCMs/IBs
CFTC-registered futures commission merchants and introducing brokers (951 firms) are the target of a new survey about Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance. Each respondent would submit one report taking about 2 hours, for an estimated total annual burden of 1,902 hours; the notice says there are no capital or operating costs.
Survey May Inform Deregulatory Proposals
The CFTC states the survey results may be used to shape deregulatory proposals consistent with the Executive Orders of the Trump administration. That means the information collected could influence future rulemaking on BSA/AML compliance costs for affected firms.
