Abstract: Commission Regulations 39.10, 39.11, 39.12, 39.13, 39.14, 39.15, 39.16, 39.18, 39.19, 39.21, 39.24, and 39.27 establish reporting requirements for registered derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs). Regulation 39.3 requires any person seeking to register as a DCO to submit a completed Form DCO as provided in Appendix A to part 39, accompanied by all applicable exhibits. Subpart C of part 39 includes additional requirements for systemically important DCOs and DCOs that elect to be subject to Subpart C. The rules establish reporting and recordkeeping requirements that implement Section 5b of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), and are necessary for the Commission to assess compliance of DCOs and DCO applicants with requirements prescribed in the CEA and Commission regulations.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The Commission is proposing amendments that would address certain risk management obligations, modify definitions and reporting requirements, and codify existing staff guidance. The proposed amendments would add paragraph (k) to regulation 39.13 to require DCOs that are neither systemically important nor registered under Subpart C to maintain and submit to the Commission viable plans for orderly wind-down and would enhance current regulation 39.39 with respect to recovery and orderly wind-down plan requirements. The proposed amendments would also add new paragraph (xxv) to regulation 39.19(c)(4) regarding certain event-specific reporting and new paragraph (iii) to regulation 39.19(c)(5) regarding certain information for resolution planning. The Commission anticipates that changes to the event-specific reporting requirements under 39.19(c)(4), if adopted, would increase the existing burden on DCOs. The Commission estimates that the proposed changes would increase the annual information collection burden under the rule from 63,311 hours to 66,791 hours.
