WASHINGTON, D. C. — The
Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Division of Market Oversight
today issued an advisory notifying all merchants and dealers of cotton
holding or controlling positions for future delivery in cotton
(traders) that beginning next year they must submit the regulatory
filing identified as “Form 304” through the CFTC’s online filings
portal.
The advisory notes that all traders who are subject
to CFTC Regulation 17 CFR 19. 00(a) beginning Jan. 15, 2025, Form 304
must be submitted through the CFTC’s online filings portal, which has
been updated for traders’ use. Form 304 should continue to be
submitted via email through Jan. 14, 2025.
Traders’ usage of
the portal for covered filings will increase efficiency and improve
information management and security. As part of the CFTC’s mission, it
will continue to improve and expand the portal to better support
industry participants. -CFTC-
