Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20581, (202) 418-5119.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFTC has determined that holding the 
announced TAC meeting is in the public interest in connection with the 
duties imposed on the CFTC by the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 1-
26, as amended. Therefore, the meeting is being announced with less 
than the 15 calendar days' notice provided by 41 CFR 102-3.150(b). The 
TAC meeting will focus on three significant issues facing the futures 
and swaps industries as the Commission continues to finalize rules 
under the Dodd Frank Act. Those issues are: (1) HFT definitions; (2) 
protecting customer funds; and (3) FCM and DCM risk management. The 
meeting will be open to the public with seating on a first-come, first-
served basis. Members of the public who wish to listen to the meeting 
by telephone may do so by calling a toll-free telephone line to contact 
to a live, listen-only audio feed. Call-in participants should be 
prepared to provide their first name, last name and affiliation. 
Additionally, a video recording of the meeting will be published 
through a link on the CFTC's Web site.
    All written submissions provided to the CFTC in any form will also 
be published on the Web site of the CFTC.
