The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes to amend its regulations to provide an alternative to fingerprinting for foreign natural persons who have not resided in the United States since age 18. This proposal codifies prior no-action relief by allowing these individuals to satisfy fitness requirements through a certified criminal history background check instead of submitting fingerprints. The rule aims to reduce burdens on market participants while ensuring the Commission can adequately evaluate the fitness of registrants in the commodity interests industry.
