On March 15, 2016, the CFTC announced that certain banking entities must submit their CEO attestations, which are required in connection with Volcker Rule compliance, through the email address: [email protected].

Under Appendix B of CFTC Regulation 75, CEOs of certain banking entities subject to the enhanced minimum standards for compliance programs must annually attest that the bank has in place a program reasonably designed to achieve compliance with the requirements of the Volcker Rule. However, Appendix B did not specify the required delivery method for the CEO attestation.
