Zusammenfassung: | This dataset includes a complete record of the 36,066 public comments
submitted to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in response
to notices of proposed rule-making (NPRMs) implementing the Dodd-Frank Act
over a 42-month period (January 14, 2010 to July 16, 2014). The data was
exported from the agency’s internal database by the CFTC and provided to
the authors by email correspondence following a cold call to the CFTC
public relations department. The source internal database is maintained by
the CFTC as part of its internal compliance with the Administrative
Procedures Act (APA) and includes all rule-making notices that appear in
the Federal Register. Owing to the salience and publicity of the
Dodd-Frank Act, the CFTC made a special tag in its database for all
comments submitted in response to rules proposed under the authority of
the Dodd-Frank Act. This database thus includes all comments which the
CFTC considers relevant to the Dodd-Frank reform. In short, the CFTC gave
the authors all comments related to the implementation of Dodd-Frank that
it received between January 14th, 2010 and July 16th, 2014. Please note
that this dataset includes only public domain data from the CFTC (under
the stipulations of the APA, all comments must be published in the Federal
Register and thus become public domain information). It should be noted
that the CFTC does have additional meta-data which they declined to rovide
(i.e. IP addresses for commenters and other personally identifiable
information) which they noted could be obtained through a Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) request. We did not pursue this avenue, but future
researchers interested in, for example, the geographic distribution of
commenters could request such data by using a FOIA request. |
