Sec. 146.7  Content of systems of records.

    (a) The Commission will maintain in its records only such

accomplish the purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act and other purposes 
required to be accomplished by statute or by executive order of the 
President.
    (b) The Commission will maintain no record describing how any 
individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless 
expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the 
record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an 
authorized law enforcement activity.
    (c) The Commission will collect information to the greatest extent 
practicable directly from the subject individual when the information 
may result in adverse determinations about an individual's rights, 
benefits, and privileges under Federal programs.
    (d) The Commission will maintain all records which are used by the 
Commission in making any determination about any individual with such 
accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably 
necessary to assure fairness to the individual in the determination.
