Abstract: The information is needed to ensure that the Commission and other regulators have access to complete data concerning swaps, as required by the Commodity Exchange Act as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act. The information is for use by government entities to provide oversight and supervision and to ensure compliance with statutes and regulations relating to swaps. Respondents are entities or persons who trade swaps, clear swaps, provide a swap execution platform, or collect swap data repository. The regulations establish swap reporting and recordkeeping requirements for swap execution facilities (“SEFs”), designated contract markets (“DCMs”), swap data repositories (“SDRs”), derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”), swap dealers (“SDs”), major swap participants (“MSPs”), and non-SD/MSP/DCO counterparties. The Commission’s regulations in part 45 require SEFs, DCMs, and reporting counterparties to report swap data to SDRs. The SDRs provide this data to the Commission directly. The Commission uses swap data in connection with fulfilling its regulatory duties.

Short Statement: The Commission is finalizing amendments to part 45 of the Commission’s regulations in order to improve the quality of swap data and to streamline regulatory requirements governing data reporting. The final rule discusses adjustments to burden hours calculations for Information Collection 3038-0096 to account for modified and new burdens associated with the proposed changes to the regulation. The Commission is also updating the overall burden hours, collection volumes, and costs related to Information Collection 3038-0096, based on updated information related to other collections within Information Collection 3038-0096 that are not being modified by this proposal. For example, the Commission is updating the estimated numbers of each type of entity affected by this collection to accurately reflect the current number of each type of entity. This includes 24 SEFs (previously 25), 3 DCMs that allow execution of swaps (previously 15), 3 SDRs (previously 4), 14 DCOs that clear swaps (not previously included), 103 SDs/MSPs (previously 125), and 1585 non-SD/non-MSP reporting counterparties (previously 703).
