Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Assessment of Materials and Equipment Manual, 27093-27094 [07-2362]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 92 / Monday, May 14, 2007 / Notices identical products on a designated contract market or derivatives transaction execution facility would or would not violate the CEA, or with the self-regulatory duties of any contract market or derivatives transaction execution facility. III. Request for Comment The Commission requests comment on all aspects of the issues presented by this proposed order. IV. Related Matters pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES A. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (‘‘PRA’’) 14 imposes certain requirements on federal agencies (including the Commission) in connection with their conducting or sponsoring any collection of information as defined by the PRA. The proposed exemptive order would not, if approved, require a new collection of information from any entities that would be subject to the proposed order. B. Cost-Benefit Analysis Section 15(a) of the CEA, as amended by Section 119 of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 (‘‘CFMA’’),15 requires the Commission to consider the costs and benefits of its action before issuing an order under the CEA. By its terms, Section 15(a) as amended does not require the Commission to quantify the costs and benefits of an order or to determine whether the benefits of the order outweigh its costs. Rather, Section 15(a) simply requires the Commission to ‘‘consider the costs and benefits’’ of its action. Section 15(a) of the CEA further specifies that costs and benefits shall be evaluated in light of five broad areas of market and public concern: Protection of market participants and the public; efficiency, competitiveness, and financial integrity of futures markets; price discovery; sound risk management practices; and other public interest considerations. Accordingly, the Commission could in its discretion give greater weight to any one of the five enumerated areas and could in its discretion determine that, notwithstanding its costs, a particular order was necessary or appropriate to protect the public interest or to effectuate any of the provisions or to accomplish any of the purposes of the CEA. The proposed exemptive order may facilitate market competition. The Commission is considering the costs 14 44 15 7 U.S.C. 3507(d). U.S.C. 19(a). VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:21 May 11, 2007 Jkt 211001 and benefits of this proposed order in light of the specific provisions of Section 15(a) of the CEA, as follows: 1. Protection of market participants and the public. CBOE, OCC and their members who would intermediate CDOs and CDBOs are subject to extensive SEC oversight. 2. Efficiency, competition, and financial integrity. The proposed exemption may enhance market efficiency and competition since it could encourage potential trading of CDOs and CDBOs on markets other than designated contract markets or derivative transaction execution facilities. Financial integrity will not be affected since the CDOs and CDBOs will be cleared by OCC, a DCO and SECregistered clearing agency, and intermediated by SEC-registered brokerdealers. 3. Price discovery. Price discovery may be enhanced through market competition. 4. Sound risk management practices. OCC has described appropriate riskmanagement practices that it will follow to margin CDOs and CDBOs. 5. Other public interest considerations. The proposed exemption may encourage development of credit derivative products through market competition without unnecessary regulatory burden. After considering these factors, the Commission has determined to seek comment on the proposed order as discussed above. The Commission invites public comment on its application of the cost-benefit provision. * * * * * Issued in Washington, DC, on May 9, 2007 by the Commission. Eileen A. Donovan, Acting Secretary of the Commission. [FR Doc.
