SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission 
(``Commission'') has determined to reestablish its Agricultural 
Advisory Committee. The Commission has determined that reestablishing 
the advisory committee is in the public interest in connection with the 
duties imposed on the Commission by the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 
U.S.C. 1-26, as amended. The Agricultural Advisory Committee will 
operate for two years from the date of renewal unless, before the 
expiration of that time period, its charter is renewed in accordance 
with section 14(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, or the 
Chairman of the Commission, with the concurrence of the other 
Commissioners, shall direct that the advisory committee terminate on an 
earlier date.
    The purpose of the Agricultural Advisory Committee is to conduct 
public meetings and submit reports and recommendations to assist the

[[Page 38777]]

Commission in assessing issues affecting agricultural producers, 
processors, lenders and others interested in or affected by the 
agricultural commodity, futures, and swaps markets.
    Meetings of the Agricultural Advisory Committee are open to the 
public.
    The Commission may reestablish the Agricultural Advisory Committee 
by filing the reestablishment charter with the Commission; the Senate 
Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry; the House Committee 
on Agriculture; the Library of Congress; and the General Services 
Administration's Committee Management Secretariat at least fifteen (15) 
calendar days after this notice of reestablishment appears in the 
Federal Register. A copy of the reestablishment charter will also be 
posted on the Commission's Web site at www.cftc.gov.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 25, 2012 by the Commission.
David A. Stawick,
Secretary of the Commission.
