Abstract: The Commission is requesting respondents intending to use models to calculate initial margin obligations to document and submit the model for Commission approval. The Commission is also requiring notification upon the occurrence of certain material changes to the model. The collections of information that are proposed by this rulemaking are necessary to implement Section 4s(e) of the CEA, which expressly requires the Commission to adopt rules governing margin requirements for SDs and MSPs. The information required for the prior written approval of the margin model is needed to demonstrate that the model satisfied all of the requirements of proposed Regulation 23.154(b). These measures are intended to ensure the adequacy and soundness of the margin calculations and promote the protection of the swap market participants.

Short Statement: The regulations associated with Collection 3038-0024 are designed to enhance the safety and soundness of the markets which the Commission oversees and to enable the Commission to evaluate the soundness of the participants in those markets. Section 731 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act"), P.L. 111-203, 124 stat. 1376, amended the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"), 7 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., to add, as section 4s(e) thereof does, provisions concerning the setting of initial and variation margin requirements for swap dealers ("SDs") and major swap participants ("MSPs"). The Commission is proposing the margin rule to implement this section of 4s of the CEA to require SDs and MSPs that are using a model to compute initial margin requirements to submit the model for review and approval by the Commission. This collection of information will add additional burdens on an estimated 60 entities for a total of 14,400 hours annually.
