The requested information is essential
to the staff's review of submissions and the Commission's oversight
of the self-regulatory actions of designated contract markets, swap
execution facilities, derivatives clearing organizations, and swap
data repositories. The Electronic Trading Risk Principles Final
Rule updates and modernizes Commission requirements in response to
the evolution from pit trading to electronic trading. The risk
principles adopted in the Final Rule are focused on electronic
trading and order routing by DCMs and market participants. The risk
principles are intended to mitigate the risk of market disruption
and promote market integrity in connection with the trading on
DCMs. Final Commission regulation 38.251(e) requires DCMs to adopt
and implement rules governing market participants subject to their
jurisdiction to prevent, detect, and mitigate market disruptions or
system anomalies associated with electronic trading. DCMs are
required to submit any rules addressing market disruptions or
system anomalies associated with electronic trading to the
Commission for adoption pursuant to §40.5 or §40.6. The obligations
created by the final rules are essential to promote market
integrity and reduce instances of market disruptions.

of filings required of DCMs in connection with the adoption and
implementation of rules to prevent, detect, and mitigate market
disruptions or system anomalies associated with electronic
trading.
