Abstract: The Commission proposed new information collection related specifically 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)). Although Part 45 applies to a number of registered entities and market participants, including registered DCOs, the proposed changes would affect only the reporting burden for exempt DCOs. Exempt DCOs’ clearing of swaps will be limited to proprietary positions of U.S. persons that are clearing members or affiliates of clearing members of that clearing organization. The information collection is necessary to fulfill the Commission’s statutory and regulatory mandates, including systemic risk mitigation, market monitoring, and market abuse prevention. The information is used to provide oversight and supervision and to ensure compliance with statutes and regulations relating to swaps.
