CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers: Dissenting Statement, Commodity Pool Operators And Commodity Trading Advisors: Amendments To Compliance Obligations

Date 09/02/2012

The amendments to the Commission’s Part 4 regulations we are adopting with these final rules were prompted by a petition from the NFA seeking to reinstate certain operating restrictions that were in place prior to 2003 for entities excluded from the definition of CPO under § 4.5.  Had we limited the amendments to address the issues raised by the NFA’s petition, we could have met our regulatory objectives without disrupting a significant number of business structures.  I would have supported such an approach.  As it is, we have gone far beyond what was needed to resolve NFA’s concerns and I must dissent.
