SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 8, 2022, the Commission published a request for information
(``RFI'') in the Federal Register seeking public responses regarding
climate-related financial risk as pertinent to the derivatives markets
and underlying commodities markets.\1\ The RFI was based on Executive
Order 14030 on Climate-Related Financial Risk (E.O. 14030).\2\

\1\ 87 FR 34856 (June 8, 2022).
\2\ E.O. 14030, 87 FR 27967 (May 20, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Withdrawal of Request for Information
On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14154
on Unleashing American Energy which, among other things, revoked E.O.
14030.\3\ Further, Commission regulations provide a uniform regulatory
framework that addresses financial risks.\4\ In view of this revocation
and

these existing regulations, the Commission is withdrawing the RFI.

Manipulation), Subpart E (Prevention of Market Disruption), and
Subpart L (Financial Integrity of Transactions) in part 38 of the
Commission regulations, 17 CFR part 38 (Designated Contract
Markets).

Executive Order 12866
The Office of Management and Budget has determined that this action
is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order
12866, as amended, and therefore it was not subject to Executive Order
12866 review.
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act,\5\ the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs has designated this rule as not a
``major rule,'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
