Short Statement: The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the FR 2436 by collecting additional data on credit default swaps (CDS) counterparties in Table 4E. Following the broad expansion of CDS data collected on the report and implemented during 2010 and 2011, it was determined that the data on location of CDS counterparties needed further refinement in order to align the data collection with current BIS standards and to improve the interpretive power of the CDS counterparty data.
