Download as PDF 6110 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 23 / Thursday, February 3, 2011 / Proposed Rules regulation by the Dodd-Frank Act. Agricultural producers, packers, processers and handlers will benefit from the ability to use agricultural swaps to hedge their risk and also will benefit from the transparency brought forth under the Dodd-Frank Act. I believe this proposed rulemaking provides an appropriate regulatory framework for the transaction of agricultural swaps and commodity options, and I look forward to hearing the public’s views on this matter.
