**ACTION:**

Notice; withdrawal.

**SUMMARY:**

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission” or “CFTC”) is formally withdrawing a request for information published on June 8, 2022, titled “Request for Information on Climate-Related Financial Risk.”

**DATES:**

The Commission is withdrawing the request for information published at 87 FR 34856 (June 8, 2022) as of March 16, 2026.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

Mark Fajfar, Senior Assistant General Counsel, 202-418-6636, *[email protected],* Office of the General Counsel, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1151 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20581.

**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.

[^3] E.O. 14154, 90 FR 8353, 8354 (Jan 29, 2025).

[^4]*See, e.g.,* Subpart D (Contracts Not Readily Subject to 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).

[^5] 5 U.S.C. 801 *et seq.*

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 16, 2026, by the Commission.

Christopher Kirkpatrick,

Secretary of the Commission.
