SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has 

determined to renew its Global Markets 

Advisory Committee. The Commission 

has determined that renewing the 

advisory committee is in the public 

interest in connection with the duties 

imposed on the Commission by the 

Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 1– 

26, as amended. The Global Markets 

Advisory Committee will operate for 

two years from the date of renewal 

unless, before the expiration of that time 

period, its charter is renewed in 

accordance with section 14(a)(2) of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, or the 

Chairman of the Commission, with the 

concurrence of the other 

Commissioners, shall direct that the 

advisory committee terminate on an 

earlier date. 

The purpose of the Global Markets 

Advisory Committee is to conduct 

public meetings and to submit reports 

and recommendations on matters of 

public concern to the exchanges, firms, 

market users, and the Commission 

regarding the regulatory challenges of a 

global marketplace. The advisory 

committee will help the Commission 

determine how it can avoid unnecessary 

regulatory or operational impediments 

to global business while still preserving 

core protections for customers and other 

market participants. The advisory 

committee will also make 

recommendations for appropriate 

international standards for regulating 

futures, swaps, options, and derivatives 

markets, as well as intermediaries. 

Additionally, the advisory committee 

will assist the Commission in 

identifying methods to improve both 

domestic and international regulatory 

structures while continuing to allow 

U.S. markets and firms to remain 

competitive in the global market. These 

duties will allow the Commission to 

better promote its mission of protecting 

market users and the public from 

abusive practices, and help to foster 

open, competitive, and financially 

sound futures and options markets. 

Meetings of the Global Markets 

Advisory Committee are open to the 

public. 

The Global Markets Advisory 

Committee will be renewed with the 

publication of this notice and the 

concurrent filing of a renewal charter 

with the Commission; the Senate 

Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition 

and Forestry; the House Committee on 

Agriculture; the Library of Congress; 

and the General Services 

Administration’s Committee 

Management Secretariat. A copy of the 

renewal charter also will be posted on 

the Commission’s Web site at 

www.cftc.gov. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on June 11, 

2012, by the Commission. 

David A. Stawick, 

Secretary of the Commission.
