The data from the Information Collection is used by the Commission to assess the governance arrangements, operations, and compliance functions of SDRs, and to ensure that registered SDRs are complying with the core principals enumerated in section 21 of the Act. Additionally, the data collected is used for regulatory purposes by the Commission, and is available to other domestic and foreign regulators, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Farm Credit Administration and Federal Housing Finance Agency, Financial Stability Oversight Council, Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, and any other regulator the Commission determines to be appropriate, including foreign financial supervisors, foreign central banks, and foreign ministries.
SDRs also publicly disseminate data pursuant to part 43 of the Commissionâs Regulations. The publication of the swap data by a registered SDR is intended to increase transparency in the swaps market for market participants.
