{"abstract":"The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) has amended Regulation 4.41, which governs advertising by commodity pool operators (CPOs), commodity trading advisors (CTAs), and the principals thereof, (1) To restrict the use of testimonials, (2) to clarify the required placement of the prescribed simulated or hypothetical performance disclaimer, and (3) to include within the regulation's coverage advertisement through electronic media (Amendments). This action is in furtherance of the Commission's longstanding view that all advertisements by CPOs, CTAs, and their principals must not be fraudulent, deceptive or misleading.","action":"Final rules.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION","name":"Commodity Futures Trading Commission","id":77,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commodity-futures-trading-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/77","parent_id":null,"slug":"commodity-futures-trading-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2007/02/23/E7-3122.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":4,"title":17}],"citation":"72 FR 8106","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"March 26, 2007.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E7-3122","effective_on":null,"end_page":8109,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2007/02/23/E7-3122.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/02/23/E7-3122/advertising-by-commodity-pool-operators-commodity-trading-advisors-and-the-principals-thereof","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E7-3122?publication_date=2007-02-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2007-02-23/E7-3122/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":136,"last_updated":"2026-09-23 06:15:06 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-02-23/pdf/E7-3122.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2007-02-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2007/02/23/E7-3122.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"3038-AC35":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["3038-AC35"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T20:56:54Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":8106,"subtype":null,"title":"Advertising by Commodity Pool Operators, Commodity Trading Advisors, and the Principals Thereof","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":["Advertising","Commodity futures"],"type":"Rule","volume":72}
