Note: The yarn size designations describe 

a range of yarn specifications for yarn in its 

greige condition before dyeing and finishing 

of the yarn (if applicable) and before knitting, 

dyeing and finishing of the fabric. They are 

intended as specifications to be followed by 

the mill in sourcing yarn used to produce the 

fabric. Dyeing, finishing, and knitting can 

alter the characteristic of the yarn as it 

appears in the finished fabric. This 

specification therefore includes yarns 

appearing in the finished fabric as finer or 

coarser than the designated yarn sizes 

provided that the variation occurs after 

processing of the greige yarn and production 

of the fabric.

COMMISSION 

Notice Requesting Nominations for the 

Subcommittee on Automated and High 

Frequency Trading 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice requesting nominations 

for the Subcommittee on Automated 

and High Frequency Trading within the 

Technology Advisory Committee. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (CFTC or 

Commission) is calling for nominations 

to the Subcommittee on Automated and 

High Frequency Trading 

(Subcommittee) under the auspices of 

the Technology Advisory Committee. 

The Subcommittee was established to 

develop recommendations regarding the 

definition of high frequency trading 

(HFT) in the context of the larger 

universe of automated trading. The 

definition of HFT is anticipated to serve 

as an initial step towards assessing the 

presence and impact of HFT in CFTC 

regulated markets for consideration of 

appropriate policy responses. The 

Subcommittee will report to the full 

Technology Advisory Committee. 

Developing a common definition of HFT 

and the characteristics of HFT will help 

inform the public debate as to the 

impact of such trading on markets under 

the jurisdiction of the CFTC. Regulators, 

markets, market participants, and the 

public will benefit from a common 

understanding of the activities and 

entities involved in HFT. All members 

of the Subcommittee will participate 

and consider possible criteria for 

inclusion in the definition of HFT 

within the context of automated trading 

systems (ATS) and suggest specific 

thresholds for each criterion. 

Nominations are sought for highly 

qualified representatives from industry, 

exchanges, academia, international 

regulatory and/or advisory bodies, 

groups representing interests or 

organizations involved in and/or 

affected by the development, design, 

and operation of ATS and HFT, and 

government agencies. Individuals 

seeking to be nominated to the 

Subcommittee should possess 

demonstrable expertise in a related field 

or represent a stakeholder of interest in 

the issue. Prospective nominees should 

be open to participating in an open 

public-private forum. Members of the 

Subcommittee will be appointed by a 

vote of the Commission as in 

accordance with the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. 2, 

and the charter of Technology Advisory 

Committee. 

DATES: The final deadline for 

nominations is 14 days from the 

publication date of this notice. 

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be sent

Office of the Chief Economist, U.S.

and/or recommendations to the 

Technology Advisory Committee. The
