SEC Release No. 34-64926

July 20, 2011

The SEC and CFTC published a request for public comment on a study, required by the Dodd-Frank Act, on international swap regulation. The intent of the study is to identify "areas of [swap] regulation that are similar and other areas of regulation that could be harmonized" between the U.S. and other countries. Section 719(c) of Dodd-Frank requires the SEC and CFTC to publish the report to Congress by January 2012; public submissions for the study are due 60 days from the date the notice is published in the Federal Register.

On a related matter, the SEC and CFTC also announced that they will host a public roundtable on August 1 regarding international issues relating to the implementation of Title VII of Dodd-Frank.
