Registration of Municipal Advisors
Section 975 of Title IX of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'') amended Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the ``Exchange Act'') to require municipal advisors, as defined below, to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'' or ``SEC'') effective October 1, 2010. To enable municipal advisors to temporarily satisfy this requirement, the Commission adopted an interim final temporary rule and form, Exchange Act rule 15Ba2-6T and Form MA-T, effective October 1, 2010. Rule 15Ba2-6T will expire on December 31, 2011. The Commission is proposing new rules 15Ba1-1 through 15Ba1-7 and new Forms MA, MA-I, MA-W, and MA-NR under the Exchange Act. These proposed rules and forms are designed to give effect to provisions of Title IX of the Dodd-Frank Act that, among other things, would establish a permanent registration regime with the Commission for municipal advisors and would impose certain record-keeping requirements on such advisors.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the ``Commission'') hereby proposes regulations to further implement new statutory provisions enacted by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'').

Such substantive requirements address reporting, transparency in decision-making, and limitations on use or disclosure of non-public information, among other things. For DCOs and DCMs, the Commission also proposes regulations to implement core principles concerning governance fitness standards and the composition of governing bodies. Finally, for publicly-traded DCMs, the Commission proposes regulations to implement the core principle on diversity of Boards of Directors. The Commission welcomes comments on all aspects of the proposed regulations.
