Commission, (202) 418–6703; email:

Control No. 3038–0092.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Customer Clearing
Documentation and Timing of
Acceptance for Clearing (OMB Control
No. 3038–0092). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’ or
‘‘Act’’), as amended by the Dodd-Frank
Act, directs the Commission to require
futures commission merchants
(‘‘FCMs’’) to implement conflict of
interest procedures that address such
issues the Commission determines to be
appropriate. Similarly, section 4s(j)(5),
as added by the Dodd-Frank Act,
requires swap dealers (‘‘SDs’’) and major
swap participants (‘‘MSPs’’) to
implement conflict of interest
procedures that address such issues the
Commission determines to be
appropriate. Section 4s(j)(5) also

Frm 00030

requires SDs and MSPs to ensure that
any persons providing clearing activities
or making determinations as to
accepting clearing customers are
separated by appropriate informational
partitions from persons whose
involvement in pricing, trading, or
clearing activities might bias their
judgment or contravene the core
principle of open access. Section 4s(j)(6)
of the CEA prohibits a swap dealer and
major swap participant from adopting
any process or taking any action that
results in any unreasonable restraint on
trade or imposes any material
anticompetitive burden on trading or
clearing, unless necessary or
appropriate to achieve the purposes of
the Act. Section 2(h)(1)(B)(ii) of the CEA
requires that derivatives clearing
organization (‘‘DCO’’) rules provide for
the non-discriminatory clearing of
swaps executed bilaterally or through an
unaffiliated designated contract market
or swap execution facility.
Pursuant to these provisions, the
Commission adopted § 1.71(d)(1)
relating to FCMs and § 23.605(d)(1)
relating to swap dealers and major swap
participants. These regulations prohibit
swap dealers and major swap
participants from interfering or
attempting to influence the decisions of
affiliated FCMs with regard to the
provision of clearing services and
activities and prohibit FCMs from
permitting them to do so. The
Commission also adopted § 23.607 to
prohibit swap dealers and major swap
participants from adopting any process
or taking any action that results in any
unreasonable restraint on trade or
imposes any material anticompetitive
burden on trading or clearing, unless
necessary or appropriate to achieve the
purposes of the Act. The Commission
adopted § 39.12(b)(2) requiring that
derivatives clearing organization rules
provide for the non-discriminatory
clearing of swaps executed bilaterally or
through an unaffiliated designated
contract market or swap execution
facility.
As discussed further below, the
additional information collection
burden arising from the proposed
regulations primarily is restricted to the
costs associated with the affected
registrants’ obligation to maintain
records related to clearing
documentation between the customer
and the customer’s clearing member.
The information collection obligations
imposed by the regulations are
necessary to implement certain
provisions of the CEA, including
ensuring that registrants exercise
effective risk management and for the

efficient operation of trading venues
among SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is estimated to
average 16 hours for FCMs and SDs and
MSPs, and 40 hours for DCOs per
response. This estimate includes the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
The total annual cost burden per
respondent is estimated to be $736 for
FCMs, SDs, and MSPs and $1,840 for
DCOs. The Commission based its
calculation on an hourly wage rate of
$46 for a financial manager to maintain
the data.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap
dealers, Major Swap Participants,
Futures Commission Merchants, and
Derivatives Clearing Organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
239 Swap Dealers, Major Swap
Participants and Futures Commission
Merchants, and 14 Derivatives Clearing
Organizations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 3,824 for FCMs, SDs, and
MSPs, and 560 hours for DCOs.
Frequency of Collection: As needed.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: August 4, 2015.
