6.1) When submitting a large position report, is there a specific form that must be used? What information must be submitted?
No, there is no specific form that is required. Rather than mandating a specific form, Treasury permits reporting entities to develop their own large position reports, provided that the reports contain all of the required information as detailed in the rules. It is suggested that the following sample be used as a guide. Market participants are advised to carefully read the rules to ensure that all the required information is reported correctly. Failure to include any of the required information, including administrative information, in the large position report will constitute non-compliance with the rules.
6.2) Can an individual sign a large position report as the authorized official if he/she does not have one of the specific titles listed in the rules?
Yes, such an individual may sign a large position report as long as he or she is the functional equivalent (i.e., has equivalent authority or responsibilities) of one of the officials listed in the rules. For example, an entity's treasurer may sign the report in lieu of a chief financial officer if he or she acts as the entity's top decision-maker regarding the entity's financial matters.
