Abstract: Section 4s(i) to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) requires the Commission to prescribe standards for swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs) related to the timely and accurate confirmation, processing, netting, documentation, and valuation of swaps. These regulations set forth requirements for swap trading relationship documentation for SDs and MSPs. This collection would be for information the Commission would need to ensure the affected registrants' compliance with their obligations under the CEA and Commission regulations to document their swaps.
