to the CFTC’s goal of encouraging
innovation and enhancing the
regulatory experience for market

policymakers by:
•Advancing policy and regulation in
financial innovation;
•Facilitating dialogue between
innovators and those within the CFTC
on financial and technological
innovations;
•Educating internal and external
stakeholders on financial technology
and innovation in the financial markets
to identify how innovations are being

innovators and serves as a platform to
inform the Commission’s understanding
of new technologies. LabCFTC allows
FinTech innovators to engage with the
CFTC, learn about the CFTC’s regulatory
framework, and obtain feedback and

innovative technology ideas for the

I. Modifications to CFTC–50, LabCFTC
The Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC or Commission) is
modifying CFTC–50, LabCFTC, a system
of records under the Privacy Act of
1974, to include information collected
under the American Innovation and
Competitiveness Act (AICA), Public
Law 114–329. The notice modifies the
categories of individuals to include
individuals participating in and
supporting competitions and adds two
routine uses to cover—(1) the disclosure
of records to competition judges and (2)
to cover the disclosure of competition
results to the public. In addition, the
Commission is taking this opportunity
to update the policies and practices for
retention and disposal of records to
include the disposition authority
number.
II. The Privacy Act
Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. 552a, a ‘‘system of records’’ is
defined as any group of records under
the control of a Federal government
agency from which information about
individuals is retrieved by name or by
some identifying number, symbol, or
other identifying particular assigned to
the individual. The Privacy Act
establishes the means by which
government agencies must collect,
maintain, and use information about an
individual in a government system of
records.
Each government agency is required
to publish a notice in the Federal
Register in which the agency identifies
and describes each system of records it
maintains, the reasons why the agency
uses the information therein, the routine
uses for which the agency will disclose
such information outside the agency,
and how individuals may exercise their
rights under the Privacy Act.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
CFTC has provided a report of this
modified system of records to the Office
of Management and Budget and to
Congress.
