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. 1-25, 
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 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 may be renewed by filing 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 concurrently with the 
publication of the notice of renewal in the Federal Register. A copy of 
the renewal charter also will be posted on the Commission's Web site at 
http://www.cftc.gov.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 10, 2010, by the Commission.
David A. Stawick,
Secretary of the Commission.
