Dissent By CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia - Fiscal Year 2014 Budget Request

Date 10/04/2013

I respectfully dissent from the fiscal year 2014 budget submission for the Commission. This submission seeks an improbable funding request of $315 M, an increase of 52 percent above the current funding level of $206.6 million as provided in the fiscal year Continuing Resolution.¹Given the vast deficit spending challenges this country is facing, I do not believe it is fiscally prudent for the Commission to make broad unsubstantiated appeals for massive budget increases without specifically identifying its mission needs and priorities.

CFTC And SEC Approve Joint Final Rule Governing Identity Theft

Date 10/04/2013

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (together, the Commissions) today are jointly issuing final rules and guidelines to require certain regulated entities to establish programs to address risks of identity theft. These rules and guidelines implement provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which amended section 615(e) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and directed the Commissions to adopt rules requiring entities that are subject to the Commissions’ respective enforcement authorities to address identity theft. The CFTC’s rules would apply to CFTC-regulated entities that qualify as “financial institutions” or “creditors” under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

In today’s world, the expansion of information technology and the proliferation of electronic communication and social media have resulted in a dramatic increase in identity theft. The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) estimated that as many as nine million Americans have their identities stolen each year.[1] It is not clear how many more cases go unreported.

“Revenue, Resources and Reliability” Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton On The President’s Proposed Budget For FY 2014

Date 10/04/2013

I’m pleased with President Obama’s budget request for the CFTC. In addition, I’m comforted that the budget request contains a proposal to initiate user fees as the funding mechanism for our Agency. Given the dysfunction junction we’ve seen on fiscal issues in government, I’m concerned that without such user fees, we won’t have the resources—the people power or the tech tools—needed to take on the oversight and enforcement duties we’ve been asked to undertake by Congress and the President. We simply won’t have the bucks to do the job.
