Revising collection to correspond with
proposed rules that would enhance the ability of the Commission and
the self-regulatory organization subject to its oversight to
monitor FCMs for compliance and customer collateral protection
obligations contained in the CEA and its implementing regulation,
to guard against market disruptions
The number of FCMs was
estimated downward for the new rules because it is not expected
that all 112 FCMs presently registered with the Commission will
carry collateral for cleared swaps customers.
