We will call the Environment, Credit, and Rural Development Subcommittee hearing to order. This hearing is to be held to review reports of the General Accounting Office and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on derivative products. This hearing should give us an opportunity to further explore reports on derivative financial products released by the GAO and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. As the subcommittee and full committee with jurisdiction over the CFTC, we have an important role to play in the debate over whether over-the-counter derivative products should or should not be regulated because of the CFTC's role in regulation and oversight of derivative products which are currently traded on exchange. With reauthorization of the CFTC to be taken up by the subcommittee in the near future - and the hearing on reauthorization scheduled currently for July 14 - it is also timely for this committee to begin looking at issues surrounding the CFTC and its current regulatory authority over derivatives.

The auditor was directed to assess the joint report of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on harmonization of their regulatory approaches. In Oct. 2009, CFTC and SEC issued this report in response to the Dept. of the Treasury¿s recommendation that the two agencies assess conflicts in their rules and statutes with respect to similar financial instruments. This reports objectives were to review: (1) how CFTC and SEC identified and assessed harmonization opportunities; (2) the agencies¿ progress toward implementing the joint report¿s recommendations; and (3) additional steps the agencies could take to reduce inconsistencies and overlap in their oversight.
