Information to be provided by market participants
38.—(1)  Upon a determination by the Board that information concerning accounts may be relevant to determine whether manipulation, corner, squeeze or other market disorders exists in any commodity futures market, the Board may, by notice in writing, require such information as it thinks necessary from any person, including a member of a Commodity Futures Exchange or a clearing house or a commodity futures broker or any customer in the commodity futures market, and the person concerned shall provide the required information within such time as may be specified by the Board.
(2)  If the Board has reason to believe that any person has failed to give the information required in the notice, it may without prejudice to any other penalty that may be imposed inform a Commodity Futures Exchange or a clearing house which shall, in the event, prohibit the execution of, or acceptance for orders of, trades on the Exchange or a clearing house and in the months or expiration dates specified in the notice unless such trades offset open contracts of that person.
