The Board, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Farm Credit Administration (FCA), and Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) (collectively, the agencies) adopted a joint final rule that implemented sections 731 and 764 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requiring the agencies to establish capital requirements and initial and variation margin requirements for such entities on all non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps in order to offset the greater risk to such entities and the financial system arising from the use of swaps and security-based swaps that are not cleared. This final rule created reporting and recordkeeping requirements. The Board accounts for any state member bank, bank holding company, savings and loan holding company, foreign banking organization, foreign bank that does not operate an insured branch, state branch or state agency of a foreign bank, or Edge or agreement corporation that is registered as a swap dealer, major swap participant, security-based swap dealer, or major security-based swap participant.
The Board adopted a final rule that implemented section 716 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Regulation KK treats an uninsured U.S. branch or agency of a foreign bank as an insured depository institution for purposes of section 716 of the Dodd-Frank Act and establishes a process by which a state member bank or uninsured state branch or agency of a foreign bank may request a transition period to conform its swaps activities to the Dodd-Frank Act. This final rule created reporting requirements.
