The CFTC's proposal unduly focuses on 'limiting the activity of commercials in hedging in the markets,' which in turn increases the risk of pricing commodities.

Congress intended that position limits target those who engage in 'excessive speculation,' while leaving hedgers to their task of reducing risk in their businesses.

In my view, the proposed rule is a clear error in judgment by the Bureau.

The time has come for Congress to enact a national standard on data protection for consumers' personal financial information.
