CFTC Approves Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking Regarding Regulations On Aggregation For Position Limits For Futures And Swaps
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today approved a notice of proposed rulemaking that would modify the CFTC’s aggregation provisions for limits on speculative positions. The proposed rulemaking would permit any person with a greater than 10 percent ownership or equity interest in an entity to disaggregate the owned entity’s positions, provided there are protections and firewalls in place to ensure trading decisions are made independently of one another.

Concurring Statement Relating To The Commission’s Proposal On Aggregation Under Part 151, Position Limits For Futures And Swaps, CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers
I support the Commission’s proposed rules that, among other things, expand the exemptions relating to information sharing restrictions, expand the circumstances under which market participants will not be required to aggregate positions, and reduce the reporting burdens on higher tier entities. I am pleased that we recognize that the final position limits rules issued on November 18, 2011 set forth an unworkable and overly restrictive approach to these issues.

Remarks At AICPA Council Spring Meeting By SEC Commissioner Troy A. Paredes
Thank you for the kind introduction. I am delighted to join you at this AICPA gathering, particularly because the AICPA is celebrating a special anniversary this year – its 125th. So let me start by congratulating the AICPA on reaching this significant milestone. More than that, let me acknowledge that the AICPA – indeed, that the profession as a whole – continues to make meaningful contributions to the policy discussions of the day that benefit the Commission as we work to shape a regulatory regime that advances the SEC’s mission to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. The SEC is better equipped to make informed judgments – to weigh the costs and benefits of our options – when we receive input from those on the ground like you who are impacted by our choices. With input from you and other interested parties – be it through the notice-and-comment process that is a hallmark of our rulemakings or otherwise – we as regulators can evaluate more critically the practical impacts and tradeoffs of choosing one regulatory course over another. Accordingly, as the AICPA plans for the future, I want to encourage your ongoing active engagement in the regulatory process by underscoring how useful it is when you share your perspectives and insights.
