              TITLE 17--COMMODITY AND SECURITIES EXCHANGES
 
             CHAPTER I--COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION
 
PART 146--RECORDS MAINTAINED ON INDIVIDUALS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 146.1  Purpose and scope.

    (a) This part contains the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading 
Commission implementing the Privacy Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-579, 5 
U.S.C. 552a). These rules apply to all records maintained by this 
Commission which are not excepted or exempted as set forth in 
Sec. 146.12, insofar as they contain personal information concerning an 
individual, identify that individual by name or other symbol and are 
contained in a system of records from which information is retrieved by 
the individual's name or identifying symbol. Among the primary purposes 
of these rules are to permit individuals to determine whether 
information about them is contained in Commission files and, if so, to 
obtain access to that information; to establish procedures whereby 
individuals may have inaccurate and incomplete information corrected; 
and, to restrict access by unauthorized persons to that information.
    (b) In this part the Commission is also exempting certain Commission 
systems of records from some of the provisions of the Privacy Act of 
1974 that would otherwise be applicable to those systems. These 
exemptions are authorized under the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(k).
