Abstract: Part 39 of the Commission's regulations establishes risk management requirements for derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs), which are required to be registered with the Commission. Part 39 also establishes procedures for registration of DCOs. The Commission will use the information in this collection to assess DCOs' and applicants' compliance with requirements for DCOs prescribed in the Commodity Exchange Act and Commission regulations.The Commission proposed a new information collection related to the Commission’s proposed changes to Part 39 of its regulations to establish a regulatory framework for exempt derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”), pursuant to Section 5b(h) of the CEA (7 U.S.C. 7a-1(h)). Specifically, the proposal would amend Part 39 to specify the conditions and procedures under which a clearing organization may apply for exemption from registration as a DCO, the information that must be provided to the Commission to obtain and maintain such exemption, and procedures for termination of an exemption. The information that would be collected under these proposed regulations is necessary for the Commission to determine whether a clearing organization qualifies for exemption from DCO registration, to evaluate the continued eligibility of the exempt DCO for exemption from registration, to review compliance by the exempt DCO with any conditions of such exemption, or to conduct its oversight of U.S. persons and the swaps that are cleared by U.S. persons through the exempt DCO.
