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 data would be reported to and maintained in swap data repositories, where it would not be disclosed publicly, but would be available to the Commission and other financial regulators for fulfillment of various regulatory mandates. 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.
The Commissionâs regulations in Part 46 require reporting counterparties to report data for pre-enactment swap and transition swaps to SDRs. The SDRs provide this data to the Commission directly. The Commission uses this data in connection with fulfilling its regulatory duties.
The Commission is finalizing amendments to Part 46 of the Commissionâs 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 3038-0089 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 3038-0089, based on updated information related to other collections within Information Collection 3038-0089 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
