The Commission is proposing to amend regulation 43.4(c) to incorporate the UPI and product classification system for the other commodity asset class and amending appendix A to part 43 and appendix 1 to part 45 to add additional data elements to be reported by Reporting Entities. Until the Commission designates a UPI and product classification system for the other commodity asset class, Reporting Entities will use the internal product identifiers or product descriptions used by the SDR for the reporting of swaps in the other commodity asset class. As a result, until the Commission designates a UPI for the other commodity asset class, the burden estimates for the product fields are already accounted for in the current burden estimates for §§â45.3 and 45.4. To avoid double-counting, the Commission is not revising the burden estimate for the implementation of a UPI and product classification system for the other commodity asset class until the Commission designates a UPI.
The Commission also proposes to amend appendix A to part 43 and appendix 1 to part 45 to require the reporting and public dissemination of certain additional details regarding swap transactions. Appendix A to part 43 describes the fields for which an SDR must publicly disseminate swap transaction and pricing data, and appendix 1 to part 45 lists the swap data elements required to be reported to SDRs. The Commission is proposing to add nineteen data elements from the CDE Technical Guidance 3.0 (of which ten are required to be publicly disseminated) and thirty data elements not included in the CDE Technical Guidance 3.0 (of which eight are required to be publicly disseminated) to the Data Element Appendices. The reporting of these additional data elements will affect the burden estimates for part 43 (Real-Time Public Reporting) and part 45 (Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements).
These information collection requirements impact SDRs, SEFs, DCMs, and reporting counterparties that report swap data for the Commission to perform its regulatory duties of risk monitoring and ensuring compliance with its rules, among other things. As part of this revision, the Commission is updating burden estimates pertaining to information collections for the following regulations:
⢠Regulation 43.3 requires reporting counterparties, SEFs, and DCMs to send swap transaction and pricing data as described in appendix A of part 43 to SDRs as soon as technologically practicable after execution.
⢠Regulation 43.4 requires SDRs to publicly disseminate the swap transaction and pricing data described in appendix A of part 43.
⢠Regulation 45.3 contains the requirements related to required swap creation data reporting when counterparties execute new swaps.
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).
