Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 160 / Thursday, August 20, 2009 / Notices
that the Commission ‘‘consider’’ the
costs and benefits of its action. Section
15(a) further specifies that the costs and
benefits shall be evaluated in light of
five broad areas of market and public
concern: (1) Protection of market
participants and the public; (2)
efficiency, competitiveness, and
financial integrity of futures markets; (3)
price discovery; (4) sound risk
management practices; and (5) other
public interest considerations. The
Commission may 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 is necessary or appropriate to
protect the public interest or to
effectuate any of the provisions or
accomplish any of the purposes of the
Act. The Commission has considered
the costs and benefits of this Order in
light of the specific provisions of section
15(a) and has concluded that this Order,
which strengthens Federal oversight of
the ECM and helps to prevent market
manipulation, is necessary and
appropriate to accomplish the purposes
of section 2(h)(7) which, among other
provisions, directs the Commission to
evaluate all contracts listed on ECMs to
determine whether they serve a
significant price discovery function.
When a futures contract begins to
serve a significant price discovery
function, that contract, and the ECM on
which it is traded, warrants increased
oversight to deter and prevent price
manipulation and other disruptions to
market integrity, both on the ECM itself
and in any related futures contracts
trading on designated contract markets
(‘‘DCMs’’). An Order finding that a
particular contract is a SPDC triggers
this increased oversight and imposes
obligations and responsibilities on the
ECM which are calculated to
accomplish this goal. This increased
oversight in turn increases transparency
and helps to ensure fair competition
among ECMs and DCMs trading similar
products and competing for the same
business. Moreover, the ECM on which
the SPDC is traded must assume, with
respect to that contract, all the
responsibilities and obligations of a
registered entity under the CEA and
Commission regulations. Additionally,
the ECM must comply with core
principles established by section 2(h)(7)
of the Act, including the obligation to
establish position limits and/or
accountability standards for the SPDC.
These increased ECM responsibilities,
along with the CFTC’s enhanced
regulatory authority, subject the ECM’s
risk management practices to the
