AI Summary

This bill establishes a separate account in the Treasury to fund the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Whistleblower Program's customer education initiatives and non-awards expenses, such as administrative, programmatic, and personnel costs. The CFTC can transfer up to $10 million from the existing Commodity Futures Trading Commission Customer Protection Fund into this new account, and the funds will remain available until October 1, 2022. The CFTC can only make obligations from the account when the unobligated balance of the Customer Protection Fund is insufficient to cover the non-awards expenses and customer education initiatives due to awards ordered by the CFTC. The CFTC must include information about this new account in its required reports to Congress, similar to the information it provides on the Customer Protection Fund.
