The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is seeking public comments on proposed changes to rules governing commodity pool operators (CPOs) and commodity trading advisors (CTAs).

The agency also aims to codify existing no-action relief into permanent regulation, particularly exemptions for registered investment advisers managing eligible private funds.

The comment period runs 60 days.
