| 2012-3409 | Notice Requesting Nominations for the Subcommittee on Automated and High Frequency Trading | Notice | The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is calling for nominations to the Subcommittee on Automated and High Frequency Trading (Subcommittee) under the auspices of the Technology Advisory Committee. The Subcommittee was established to develop recommendations regarding the definition of high frequency trading (HFT) in the context of the larger universe of automated trading. The definition of HFT is anticipated to serve as an initial step towards assessing the presence and impact of HFT in CFTC regulated markets for consideration of appropriate policy responses. The Subcommittee will report to the full Technology Advisory Committee. Developing a common definition of HFT and the characteristics of HFT will help inform the public debate as to the impact of such trading on markets under the jurisdiction of the CFTC. Regulators, markets, market participants, and the public will benefit from a common understanding of the activities and entities involved in HFT. All members of the Subcommittee will participate and consider possible criteria for inclusion in the definition of HFT within the context of automated trading systems (ATS) and suggest specific thresholds for each criterion. Nominations are sought for highly qualified representatives from industry, exchanges, academia, international regulatory and/or advisory bodies, groups representing interests or organizations involved in and/or affected by the development, design, and operation of ATS and HFT, and government agencies. Individuals seeking to be nominated to the Subcommittee should possess demonstrable expertise in a related field or represent a stakeholder of interest in the issue. Prospective nominees should be open to participating in an open public-private forum. Members of the Subcommittee will be appointed by a vote of the Commission as in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. app. 2, and the charter of Technology Advisory Committee. | 2012-02-14 | 2012 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/02/14/2012-3409/notice-requesting-nominations-for-the-subcommittee-on-automated-and-high-frequency-trading | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-02-14/pdf/2012-3409.pdf | Commodity Futures Trading Commission | 77 | The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is calling for nominations to the Subcommittee on Automated and High Frequency Trading (Subcommittee) under the auspices of the Technology Advisory Committee.
