Summary

The CFTC, the SEC, and the prudential regulators (those named in another federal law) must work with foreign regulators to create consistent global rules for swaps, security‑based swaps, and the firms that deal in them, including rules about fees. They can set up ways to share information when needed to protect the public, investors, and the people who trade those swaps. The CFTC must also work with foreign regulators to make consistent global rules for commodity futures contracts and options on them, and can share information to protect users of those contracts.
