    Comment Text:

    BG Americas & Global LNG (“BGA”) respectfully submits these comments in
    response to the request for public comment in the release issued by the Commodity
    Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC” or “Commission”) in Reopening and
    Extension of Comment Periods for Rulemakings Implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall
    Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was published in the Federal
    Register on May 4, 2011. The release reopens and extends the comment period of
    many of the CFTC’s proposed rulemakings until June 3, 2011. The supplemental
    comments submitted by BGA in the above-referenced proceedings address concerns
    with the virtually identical language set forth in footnote 128 of the Proposed Definitions
    Rule applicable to Major Swap Participants (“MSPs”) and footnote 23 the Proposed
    End-User Exception Rule (collectively, the “Footnotes”).

    If you have any questions, please contact me.

    Respectfully Submitted,

    Matthew C. Thomas
