Abstract: The Part 20 Reporting Rules for physical commodity swaps, in conjunction with the Commission’s current large trader reporting system for commodity futures and options, are used by the Commission to support its market, financial and trading abuse surveillance programs. Swaps position reports represent a critical component for the implementation of an effective surveillance-based regulatory approach that includes market, financial and trading surveillance programs.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The extension is updating the total burden based on reported data. The number of affected firms has been updated in this collection and they total 4,824 respondents (comprised of 1 clearing organization, 67 clearing member and swap dealer reporting entities and 4,756 firms that would hold reportable accounts in swaps). The number of respondents and the time required per response directly correlates to the changes in the burden totals of this collection renewal. The pending renewal is correcting a computational error made in ROCIS in the previous renewal of the collection regarding the total number of responses. The total number of responses entered in ROCIS should have been 88,768 (as indicated in the 2014 supporting statement and the amended 30-Day FRN filed by the CFTC on 12/14/14), instead of the recorded 3,998 – which was the total annual number of respondents. For the pending renewal, the total number of respondents has now increased to 4,824 (from 3,998 in 2014) and the total annual number of responses has decreased to 38,408 (from 88,768 in 2014). The reduction in the number of responses has caused the total burden hours also to decrease.
