  • Comparability Determinations for Substituted Compliance Purposes

    As jurisdictions outside the U.S. continue to strengthen their regulatory regimes, the Commission may determine that additional foreign regulatory requirements are comparable to and as comprehensive as certain requirements under the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commission’s regulations.
