COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION
Renewal of the Agricultural Advisory Committee
AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
ACTION: Notice of renewal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission)
is publishing this notice to announce the renewal of the Agricultural
Advisory Committee (AAC). The Commission has determined that the
renewal of the AAC is necessary and in the public's interest, and the
CFTC has consulted with the General Services Administration's Committee
Management Secretariat regarding the AAC's renewal.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Dunfee, Chief Counsel, Office of
the Chairman, at 202-418-5396 or [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFTC's advisory committees were created
to provide input and make recommendations to the Commission on a
variety of regulatory and market issues that affect the integrity and
competitiveness of U.S. derivatives markets. The committees facilitate
communication between the Commission and U.S. derivatives markets,
trading firms, market participants, and end users. The AAC is one of
five CFTC advisory committees. The AAC's objectives and scope of
activities are to provide the Commission with advice and
recommendations on issues affecting agricultural producers; consumers;
processors; lenders; other major market participants, including
derivatives intermediaries, buy-side representatives, and exchanges;
regulators; and others interested in or affected by the agricultural
derivatives markets through public meetings. The AAC will operate for
two years from the date of renewal unless the Commission directs that
the AAC terminate on an earlier date. A copy of the AAC renewal charter
has been filed with the Commission; the Senate Committee on
Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; the House Committee on
Agriculture; the Library of Congress; and the General Services
Administration's Committee Management Secretariat. A copy of the
renewal charter will be posted on the CFTC's website at www.cftc.gov.
Dated: August 1, 2024.
Christopher Kirkpatrick,
Secretary of the Commission.
