Energy Metro Desk Articles Regarding CFTC Issues

The first article, titled "Who's on First?," speculates on the pace of Dodd-Frank rulemaking that the CFTC may engage in during a second presidential term with a possible new chairman at the helm, noting that some rules like position limits were rushed during the first term, making them vulnerable to legal challenge. The second article, "Drums along the Potomac," interviews Commissioner Scott O'Malia on the slew of no-action letters and other Dodd-Frank relief provided by the CFTC and provides his reaction to the CFTC's request for a 52 percent increase in its budget for FY 2014.

The third article, "Chilton's 'Bill 'O Rights' for End Users," discusses Commissioner Chilton's "End User Bill of Rights" and quotes Cadwalader's Steve Lofchie on this and other regulatory issues.
