a process for swap execution facilities and designated contract
markets to make a swap “available to trade” for purposes of the
trade execution requirement. The regulations require swap execution
facilities and designated contract markets to consider certain
factors when determining whether to make a swap “available to
trade,” and under §§ 37.10(a) or 38.12(a) of the Commission’s
regulations, a swap execution facility or designated contract
market, respectively, would submit its determination to the
Commission pursuant to the rule filing procedures of part 40 of the
Commission’s regulations.
