SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Adaptation of Regulations to
Incorporate Swaps-Records of
Transactions; Exclusion of Utility
Operations Related Swaps with Utility
Special Entities from De minimis
Threshold for Swaps with Special
Entities (OMB Control No. 3038–0090).
This is a request for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act, Pub. L.
111–203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010))
amended the Commodity Exchange Act
(CEA) to establish a comprehensive new
statutory framework for swaps. These
amendments required the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (‘‘the
Commission’’) to amend several of its
regulations to implement the new
framework.
The information collection obligations
imposed by the ‘‘Adaptation of
Regulations to Incorporate Swaps’’ final
regulations 2 are necessary to implement
section 721 of the Dodd-Frank Act,
which amended the definitions of
futures commission merchant (‘‘FCM’’)
and introducing broker (‘‘IB’’) to permit
these intermediaries to trade swaps on
behalf of customers. They also are
necessary to implement section 733 of
the Dodd-Frank Act which introduced
swap execution facilities (‘‘SEFs’’) as a
new trading platform for swaps. As a
result of the enactment of sections 721
and 733, the Commission needed to
amend certain recordkeeping
regulations (§§ 1.31, 1.33, 1.35, 1.37,
and 1.39) so that records of swap
transactions are maintained analogously

to how futures transactions are
maintained.
Further, the ‘‘Exclusion of Utility
Operations-Related Swaps With Utility
Special Entities from De Minimis
Threshold for Swaps With Special
Entities’’ 3 regulation amended the
Commission’s swap dealer definition to
permit a person to exclude ‘‘utility
operations-related swaps’’ with ‘‘utility
special entities’’ in their de minimis
threshold calculations. The regulation
requires a person claiming the exclusion
to maintain, in accordance with
Commission regulation 1.31, any
written representations that the person
receives from utility special entities
related to this exclusion.
The information collection burdens
associated with these regulations
(collectively, the ‘‘Swap Recordkeeping
Requirements’’) are restricted to the
costs associated with the recordkeeping
and reporting requirements that these
regulations impose upon affected
registrants, registered entities, those
registered entities’ members, and other
respondents covered by the final rules.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. On April 27, 2020, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection
and provided 60 days for public
comment on the proposed extension, 85
FR 23331. The Commission did not
receive any comments on the 60-Day
Notice.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection for futures commission
merchants, retail foreign exchange
dealers, introducing brokers, and
members of designated contract markets
and swap execution facilities. The
respondent burden for this collection is
estimated to be as follows:4
Estimated Number of Respondents:
13,664.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours per
Respondent: 163.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,233,722.
Frequency of Collection: As needed.
3 Exclusion of Utility Operations-Related Swaps
with Utility Special Entities from De Minimis
Threshold for Swaps with Special Entities, 79 FR
57767 (Sept. 26, 2014).
4 These estimates represent the aggregate burden
for all data associated with the Swap Recordkeeping
Requirements in the collection, namely Swap
Recordkeeping (Regulation 1.35), Swap
Confirmations (Regulation 1.33), and Utility Special
Entities (Regulation 1.3). Please refer to the
supporting statement for further explanation of
burdens associated with each regulatory
requirement.
