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]
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
( printed page 13018)
these existing regulations, the Commission is withdrawing the RFI.
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).
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 16, 2026, by the Commission.
Christopher Kirkpatrick,
Secretary of the Commission.
