On September 28, the CFTC issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment on the conditions, restrictions, or protections to be included in a regulation governing the trading of agricultural swaps.  Under the Dodd-Frank Act, swaps in an “agricultural commodity” are prohibited unless they are entered into pursuant to a regulation to be adopted by the CFTC.  Comments must be received on or before October 28.
