(TOCOM) as a Foreign Board of Trade (FBOT).  As I have stressed before, this cross-border approach to the oversight of trading platforms incentivizes higher standards around the world by requiring foreign entities that want access to U.S. market participants to be subject to supervision that is comparable and comprehensive to our regime under Dodd-Frank.  I hope the Commission will move quickly to consider the remaining applications for FBOTs that have been relying on no-action relief for years.
