SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Conflicts of Interest Policies and
Procedures by Swap Dealers and Major
Swap Participants (OMB Control No.
3038–0079). This is a request for an
amendment to a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: In 2012, the Commission
promulgated Business Conduct
Standards for Swap Dealers and Major
Swap Participants with Counterparties
(‘‘External Business Conduct Standards
Final Rulemaking’’) 1 which include all
of Subpart H of Part 23 of the
Commission’s regulations (‘‘EBCS
Rules’’).2 In the External Business
Conduct Standards Final Rulemaking,
the Commission stated that the
information collections associated with
the EBCS Rules were part of the overall
supervision, compliance and
recordkeeping requirements imposed by
the Commission in certain other
rulemakings including, among others,
the collection of information for rules
on Conflicts of Interest Policies and
Procedures by Swap Dealers and Major
Swap Participants under § 23.605 under
OMB Collection No. 3038–0079. While
the collections associated with the EBCS
Rules do overlap with the requirements
in certain other Commission
regulations, the OMB collections
associated with those other Commission
regulations do not accurately reflect the
burdens imposed by the EBCS Rules.
The Commission is proposing to amend
the information collection under OMB
Control No. 3038–0079 to clearly reflect
the paperwork burden imposed by the
EBCS Rules under §§ 23.401–450 and
ensure that the paperwork burden of the
EBCS Rules is centrally located under
OMB Control No. 3038–0079. In
1 Business Conduct Standards for Swap Dealers
and Major Swap Participants with Counterparties,
77 FR 9734, Feb. 17, 2012.
2 Subpart H of Part 23 is titled ‘‘Business Conduct
Standards for Swap Dealers and Major Swap
Participants Dealing with Counterparties, Including
Special Entities.’’ Subpart H includes the following
provisions: § 23.400 (Scope); § 23.401 (Definitions);
§ 23.402 (General Provisions); § 23.410 (Prohibition
on fraud, manipulation and other abusive
practices); § 23.430 (Verification of counterparty
eligibility); § 23.431 (Disclosures of material
information); § 23.432 (Clearing disclosures);
§ 23.433 Communications—fair dealing); § 23.434
(Recommendations to counterparties—institutional
suitability; § 23.440 (Requirements for swap dealers
acting as advisors to Special Entities); § 23.450
(Requirements for swap dealers and major swap
participants acting counterparties to Special
Entities); and § 23.451 (Political contributions by
certain swap dealers).

addition, the Commission will be
retitling the collection under OMB
Control No. 3038–0079 ‘‘Swap Dealer
and Major Swap Participant Conflicts of
Interest and Business Conduct
Standards with Counterparties’’ to more
accurately reflect its coverage. The
collections of information contained in
the EBCS Rules are necessary to
implement requirements set forth in the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act 3 and for the
protection of investors and market
participants.
On June 20, 2017, the Commission
published in the Federal Register a
notice of the proposed extension of this
information collection and provided 60
days for public comment on the
proposed extension. See 82 FR 28050
(June 20, 2017). The Commission
received no relevant comments.
Burden Statement: The respondent
burden for this collection is detailed
below and includes the burden
currently associated with OMB
Collection No. 3038–0079 in connection
with § 23.605 (Conflicts of Interest
Policies and Procedures for Swap
Dealers and Major Swap Participants)
and the EBCS Rules. The Commission
estimates the burden of this collection
of information as follows:
Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap
Dealers and Major Swap Participants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
102.
Estimated Average Burden Hours per
Respondent: 2,352.9 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 240,000 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Ongoing.
