Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act authorizes the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) to regulate security-based swaps and to take steps to encourage accountability and transparency in this market. In an effort to enhance such transparency, section 763(i) of the Act establishes centralized recordkeeping facilities, known as security-based swap data repositories (SDRs), to retain complete records of security-based swap transactions, maintain the integrity of those records, and provide effective access to those records to relevant authorities. Pursuant to sections 763(i) and 766(a) of the Act, transactions in securities-based swaps must be reported to an SDR or the Commission. The Commission is proposing Rules 13n-1 to 13n-11 (“Rules”) as well as Form SDR to create a structure to register SDRs in accordance with this statutory mandate. Under the Rules, an SDR would be required to register by filing a Form SDR. SDRs would also be required to abide by certain minimum standards set out in the Rules, including a requirement to update Form SDR, abide by certain duties and core principles, maintain data in accordance with the Rules, keep their systems in accordance with the Rules, keep records, provide reports to the Commission, maintain privacy, make certain disclosures, and designate a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”).
