methods they propose. The Commission

also requests comment on the

practicality of the various methods.

Finally, the Commission requests

comment on whether it is appropriate to

allow exchanges and/or clearing

organizations to hold customer funds

offshore without the customers’ express

authorization and without a direct

operational necessity. If so, commenters

should indicate what conditions and

limitations should be imposed. The

Commission welcomes any cost-benefit

analysis commenters care to provide in

support of their choices.

The Commission requests that

commenters, in making their choice

among the proposed alternatives or in

indicating other alternatives, clearly

indicate whether the provision should

apply at the FCM level and/or at the

clearing level. The Commission will

give serious consideration to the

comments in determining an

appropriate manner in which to revise

the requirements set forth in

Interpretation No. 12. The Commission

wishes: (a) To facilitate access to the

United States markets for the growing

international customer base using them;

(b) to reduce the regulatory burden,

where practicable, on FCMs and

clearing organizations that accept

customer deposits in foreign

denominations and use foreign

depositories; and (c) to maintain the

safety of customer funds.
