Commissioner Paul Atkins (second from right) of the Securities and Exchange Commission recently attended a market surveillance briefing at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission with CFTC Commissioners (from left) Sharon Brown-Hruska, Barbara Holum and Walt Lukken. Commissioners Lukken and Atkins have been assigned by their respective chairmen to coordinate the two agencies' joint oversight of trading in security futures products (SFPs), which was authorized by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. The commissioners are working with CFTC and SEC staff to draft a memorandum of understanding to clarify the agencies' responsibilities and to direct the sharing of information needed for enforcement of commodities and securities laws in the SFP markets.
