Finding#15 . Wrong statutory registration-expiration date in 7 USC 6n(2)

AI's failure: AI misstated the statutory registration-expiration date
Risk for the Lawyers: Regulatory enforcement and registration-lapse exposure when a renewal calendar records the wrong statutory expiration date For lawyers working on CFTC Regulation 4.7 matters, the AI's stated answer reads as a verbatim quotation that a practitioner would paste into a memo, register entry, or client deliverable before verification against the source. The regulator's own text, however, records a different position. 7 USC 6n(2) provides that each registration under this section shall expire on the 30th day of June of each year, or at such other time, not less than one year from the effective date thereof, as the Commission may by rule, regulation, or order prescribe. Sonnet 4.6 reported the expiration date as the 31st day of October. The statute itself records June 30. A registration-renewal calendar memo that records the statutory expiration as October 31 misaligns the renewal cycle by four months, with direct registration-lapse exposure for the firm whose compliance officer relies on the calendar. For a lawyer drafting on this question, the immediate risk is that the AI's answer enters a client memo, board briefing, or transactional opinion without verification, and that the inconsistency surfaces later under counterparty review, regulatory inquiry, or internal QC.
