Concurring Statement, Commodity Futures Trading Commission Strategic Plan FY 2011-2015 - CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia
I support the Strategic Plan because the Commission is now committed to reorganizing the CFTC’s technology, data collection and analysis functions into a central group. For the first time, the Commission will focus on its technology needs in an organized manner to enhance its oversight of the futures markets and meet its new statutory responsibilities under the Dodd-Frank Act. As proposed, the new group will serve as the primary data collection point and will improve the CFTC’s cross market surveillance capabilities. It’s my expectation that this group to develop core risk analysis competencies that will provide great value to the Commission and industry as a whole. This group should be provided its own budget separate from the Commission operations’ funds to specifically advance technology investments, automated surveillance, automation of all forms and compliance applications, and enhanced cross division and cross market analytical tools. While the Strategic Plan indicates that the reorganization of the Commission will be completed in the near future, it is my hope that the new technology and data group will be in place by July 15, 2011, consistent with the implementation date of the Dodd-Frank Act. The CFTC should address its organizational challenges in the same manner and with the same conviction it has demonstrated in implementing the Dodd-Frank Act within the statutory time frame.
