SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. II, the Commission is publishing 
this notice to announce the reestablishment of the TAC. The Commission 
has determined that the reestablishment of the TAC is necessary and in 
the public interest. The objectives and scope of activities of the TAC 
are to conduct public meetings, to submit reports and recommendations 
to the Commission, and to otherwise assist the Commission in 
identifying and understanding how new developments in technology are 
being applied and utilized in the industry, and their impact on the 
operation of the markets. The TAC will allow the Commission to be an 
active participant in market innovation, explore the appropriate 
investment in technology, and advise the Commission on the need for 
strategies to implement rules and regulations to support the 
Commission's mission of ensuring the integrity of the markets. Meetings 
of the TAC are open to the public.
    The TAC will operate for two years from the date of reestablishment 
unless, before the expiration of that time period, its charter is 
renewed in accordance with section 14(b)(1) of the FACA, or the 
Commission directs that the TAC terminate on an earlier date. A copy of 
the TAC reestablishment charter will be filed 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. A copy of 
the reestablishment charter will be posted on the Commission's Web site 
at www.cftc.gov.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 26, 2014, by the 
Commission.
Christopher J. Kirkpatrick,
Secretary of the Commission.
