Whistleblower Award Determination
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes amendments to its whistleblower rules to increase the efficiency, transparency, and predictability of award determinations. The proposal introduces a presumption that awards totaling $5 million or less will be set at the statutory maximum of 30 percent, subject to specific exclusions for culpable conduct or unreasonable delays. These changes aim to reduce processing delays that currently average over two years, thereby strengthening incentives for whistleblowers to report violations of the Commodity Exchange Act.
