The Commission proposes to amend §
32.3(b) by adding a requirement that Non-SD/MSP trade option
counterparties must provide notice by email to DMO within 30 days
after entering into trade options, whether reported or unreported,
that have an aggregate notional value in excess of $1 billion in
any calendar year (the "1 Billion Notice"). In the alternative, a
Non-SD/MSP may provide notice by email to DMO that it reasonably
expects to enter into trade options, whether reported or
unreported, having an aggregate notional value in excess of $1
billion during any calendar year (the "Alternative Notice"). The
proposed $1 Billion Notice would provide the Commission insight
into the size of the market for unreported trade options and the
identities of the most significant market players. Additionally,
the $1 Billion Notice would help guide the Commission's efforts to
collect additional information through its authority to obtain
copies of books or records required to be kept pursuant to the CEA
and the Commission's regulations should market circumstances
dictate, and will help enable the Commission to determine whether
these counterparties should be subject to more frequent and
comprehensive reporting obligations in the future.
