CFTC Proprietary Information Act of 2026

This bill would amend the Commodity Exchange Act to require the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to adopt rules, after public notice and comment, covering proprietary information it obtains or receives. The rules would address when the CFTC requests such information, how it safeguards the information based on sensitivity, which staff can access it, and how it is protected from unlawful use or disclosure. The CFTC would also have to adopt rules on sharing proprietary information with other government entities. Those rules would require the CFTC to get assurances that the receiving entity will maintain safeguards and follow existing confidentiality limits.
