The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes to exempt its new Insider Risk Program Records system, CFTC-59, from specific Privacy Act provisions regarding individual access and record amendment. This exemption is necessary to maintain the integrity of insider risk investigations by preventing subjects from destroying evidence or interfering with witnesses and confidential sources. The proposed rule adds subsection (h) to 17 CFR Part 146 to formally assert these exemptions in compliance with the Privacy Act and OMB Circular A-108 guidance.
