Abstract: 7 USC 6d(f) imposes requirements on futures commission merchants (“FCMs”) and derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”) regarding the safeguarding and use of collateral provided by customers to serve as margin for cleared swaps transactions. 17 CFR Part 22 contains implementing regulations. Sections 22.2(g), 22.5(a), 22.11, 22.12, 22.16 and 22.17 impose reporting, recordkeeping and third-party disclosure requirements which are essential (i) to ensuring that FCMs and DCOs develop and maintain adequate customer protections and procedures over Cleared Swap Customer funds as required by the CEA, and Commission regulations, and (ii) to the effective evaluation of these registrants’ actual compliance with the CEA and Commission regulations.
