Dissent Of CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia To The Fiscal Year 2011 Commission Spending Plan

Date 08/07/2011

I respectfully dissent from signing the fiscal year 2011 Commission Spending Plan allocating funding per the direction provided in Public Law 112-10, The Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011. The Commission's spending plan continues to concentrate resources on an ever-expanding staff hiring plan that is both fiscally unsustainable and detrimental to the Commission's already ailing technology programs. This spending plan proposes to hire 50 additional federal employees—12 of which will implement internal reorganization in support of new Dodd-Frank authorities—and an undisclosed number of contractors. Instead of complying with the explicit Congressional directive establishing a $37.2 million floor for technology spending, the proposal caps spending at this minimum level while completely ignoring clear statutory direction to prioritize such funding for higher priority information technology activities. I am mindful of the challenge of adjusting the budget priorities within the resources provided. However, in the face of the broad new statutory authority to oversee and monitor both the futures and derivatives markets, the Commission cannot afford delays in the development and deployment of automated surveillance tools, or in real-time trade monitoring, integration of trade data provided from the swap data repositories and the development of new risk analytics.
