Panel to probe impacts of OTC regulation

摘要

Washington—The House Energy and Commerce Committee plans to hold a subcommittee-level hearing December 2 to look into “unintended impacts” that proposed derivatives regulation could have on energy markets. “I am concerned that H.R. 3795 was not developed with adequate regard to how the nation’s energy markets actually function,” Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, a California Democrat, said late November 19 of the bill reported out of the House Agriculture Committee in October. “We need to hear from stakeholders about this legislation in order to ensure that Congress avoids making any grave mistakes.”
