Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo Regarding Final Rule On Records Of Commodity Interest And Related Cash Or Forward Transactions

Date 18/12/2015

I am pleased to support this final rule that revises Rule 1.35. In the end, after numerous iterations, several comment periods, significant legislative interest from Congress, and months of negotiating, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) thankfully listened to the concerns of market participants. I am appreciative of the CFTC staff’s diligent work over the past few months to make key revisions to this rule. Fixing this regulation was one of the first issues that I raised with my fellow Commissioners upon my arrival at the CFTC. I believe we have now produced a more workable rule that will not impose needless regulatory costs on America’s agricultural producers, grain elevator operators or energy producers, to name a few.
