The Securities and Exchange Commission
(“Commission”) has adopted a set of rules (“Regulation SE”) and
forms under Section 3D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“SEA”) that creates a regime for the registration and regulation
of security-based swap execution facilities (“SBSEFs”) and address
other issues relating to security-based swap (“SBS”) execution
generally. Key rules within Regulation SE include Rule 803, which
establishes a process for SBSEF registration; Rules 804 to 810,
which establish procedures for rule and product filings by SBSEFs;
Rules 818 to 831, which implement the 14 Core Principles for SBSEFs
set forth in Section 3D(d) of the SEA; Rules 832 to 833, which
address cross-border matters relating to SBS execution; and Rule
834, which impose requirements addressing conflicts of interest
involving SBSEFs and SBS exchanges, as required by Section 765 of
the Dodd-Frank Act. In addition to the rules described above, the
Commission is also adopting Form SBSEF, which is the form that an
entity will use to register with the Commission as an SBSEF;
adopting a submission cover sheet, which will be required to
accompany filings with the Commission made by SBSEFs for rule and
rule amendments and for product listings; adopting amendments to
existing Rule 3a1-1 under the SEA to exempt from the SEA definition
of “exchange” registered SBSEFs that provide a market place for no
securities other than SBS and certain registered clearing agencies;
adopting new Rule 15a-12 under the SEA that, while affirming that
an SBSEF also would be a broker under the SEA, would exempt a
registered SBSEF from certain broker requirements; providing for
the sunsetting of an existing exemption from the requirement to
register as a clearing agency for entities performing the functions
of an SBSEF but that are not yet registered as such; and adopting
new rules and amendments to the Commission’s Rules of Practice, to
allow persons who are aggrieved by certain determinations by an
SBSEF to apply for review by the Commission and to delegate certain
regulatory tasks to various persons and offices within the
Commission.
The Commission has adopted
rules that would add new collections of information with hour
burdens. They are discussed in more detail in the attached
Supporting Statement.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
