D. Cost-Benefit Analysis
Section 15(a) of the Commodity
Exchange Act (‘‘Act’’), 7 U.S.C. 19(a),
requires the Commission to consider the
costs and benefits of its action before
issuing new regulations under the Act.
Section 15(a) does not require the
Commission to quantify the costs and
benefits of a new regulation or to
determine whether the benefits of the
regulation outweigh its costs. Nor does
it require that each rule be analyzed in
isolation when that rule is a component
of a larger package of rules or rule
revisions. Rather, section 15(a) requires
the Commission to ‘‘consider the costs
and benefits’’ of the subject regulation
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 of concern and may,
in its discretion, determine that
notwithstanding its costs, a particular
rule 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 considered the costs
and benefits of this rule and has
determined that amended Rule 12.26(c)
will enhance efficiency by aligning the
Commission’s staff more closely with its
workload.
List of Subjects in 17 CFR Part 12
$30,000, exclusive of interest and costs,
and either a complainant or a
respondent in the complaint, answer or
reply, has elected the formal decisional

of record to the Proceedings Clerk for a

accordance with subpart E of this part.
The Proceedings Clerk shall forthwith
notify the parties of such action. Such
notification shall be accompanied by an
order issued by the Proceedings Clerk
requiring the parties to complete all
discovery, as provided in subpart B of
this part, within 50 days thereafter. A
formal decisional proceeding
commences upon service of such
notification and order. As soon as
practicable after service of such
notification, the Proceedings Clerk shall
assign the case to a Judgment Officer.
All provisions of this part that refer to
and grant authority to or impose
obligations upon an Administrative Law
Judge shall be read as referring to and
granting authority to and imposing
obligations upon the Judgment Officer.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September
21, 2011, by the Commission.
David A. Stawick,
Secretary of the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
30, 2011 (76 FR 54006), the National
Labor Relations Board published a final
rule requiring employers, including
labor organizations in their capacity as
employers, subject to the National Labor
Relations Act (NLRA) to post notices
informing their employees of their rights
as employees under the NLRA. The
Board has determined that in the
interest of ensuring broad voluntary
compliance with the rule concerning
notification of employee rights under
the National Labor Relations Act,
further public education and outreach
efforts would be helpful. The Board has
decided to change the effective date of
the rule from November 14, 2011, to
January 31, 2012, in order to allow time
for such an education and outreach
effort. Member Brian E. Hayes dissented
from the adoption of the final rule. For
this reason, he agrees with any
postponement of the effective date of
the rule. Member Craig Becker would
not change the effective date of the rule,
but agrees that if the date is to be
changed it should be for purposes of
public education and outreach.
