This includes modifications to existing rules respecting the collateral of cleared swaps customers, under the proposed rule, 77 FR 67866, submitted on November 14, 2012 to OMB under previous ICR Reference Number 201211-3038-005. The Commission is newly adopting § 22.17 and revising § 22.2(g) of its regulations, which require additions and revisions to this collection with respect to the recordkeeping and reporting associated with each of these rules.
