“Lettuce Produce” Statement Of Commissioner Bart Chilton At The CFTC Public Meeting On Dodd/Frank Rulemaking, Washington, Dc
Good morning. I have two quick points today. First, as we all know, government-wide, there are over 300 rules that are to be promulgated under Dodd-Frank. Most regulators are behind schedule in adopting these rules. Most had a completion date of last July. But for our part, we have been doing our level best to consider all the comments and craft thoughtful rules that make sense for markets, consumers and our economy. I thank the staff, but I particularly want to thank the Chairman for his earnest efforts to keep the trains running on time and getting things done. I don’t know of another agency that has worked so hard and accomplished so much. I heard recently that 67 percent of all the Dodd-Frank rules were NOT finished. At the CFTC, because of the Chairman’s leadership, we have produced well over half of the 50-plus rules that we are charged with completing. This is production number 32.

CFTC Commissioner Jill Sommers Opening Statement Regarding The Twelfth Open Meeting To Consider Final Rules Pursuant To The Dodd-Frank Act
Thank you Mr. Chairman and thank you to the rulemaking team for the hard work and diligence in crafting these rules. We have before us today final rules relating to the Core Principles for Designated Contract Markets (DCMs). Core Principles were designed to allow DCMs the flexibility to establish compliance regimes that fit with their markets and business models. This flexible approach has been very successful. The proposed DCM Core Principle rules published in late 2010 significantly, and needlessly, strayed from the flexible approach in favor of a prescriptive, one-size-fits-all, rules-based approach. I did not, and still do not, support abandoning the flexible, principles-based approach to regulation. I am pleased, however, that in a number of areas the final rules before us today recognize the value of retaining flexibility and pull back from the overly prescriptive regime set out in the proposed rules. I understand that in a number of areas where we have established specific rules, we have codified the best practices already in place at DCMs today. While on its face this may seem reasonable, I have lingering concerns about whether codifying today’s best practices will prevent exchanges from developing tomorrow’s best practices. Our industry evolves quickly, and we are on the cusp of regulating vast markets and diverse products that we have never regulated before. We must remain vigilant to ensure that our lack of experience in these markets and with these products does not cause us to stand in the way of continued evolution and progress.
