Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act specifically requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (âCFTCâ or âCommissionâ) to establish certain standards for the registration and governance of swap data repositories (âSDRsâ), including regulations regarding SDRs reporting data to the Commission and to the public. In addition to implementing standards governing registration of and statutory duties applicable to SDRs, the CFTC is also required to adopt regulations that mitigate certain conflicts of interest in the operation of these entities and ensure appropriate levels of access by the Commission and certain other regulators to the data maintained by SDRs. The information from this collection is necessary for the Commission to perform its regulatory mandate to provide oversight of the markets and SDRs. Without accurate reporting of the data as set forth in the Commissionâs regulations discussed in this statement, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its regulatory mandate of monitoring systemic risk.

The Commissionâs overall burden estimates are being revised based on two primary factors: First, the number of SDRs that have registered with the Commission since the finalization of part 49 has reduced. The previous burden estimates were based on a total of 6 registered SDRs. Now, there are currently 4 registered SDRs, a number that is not expected to grow for the foreseeable future. As a result of this update, overall burden associated with the collection has been reduced. Second, the Commission has undertaken a complete review of the burden associated with the information requirements associated with this collection consistent with OMBâs instructions. Based on this review, the Commission is revising its burden estimates for this collection as described in Attachment A, which has resulted in an overall reduction of burden associated with this collection. In addition, the Commission has revised its labor cost estimates based on updated BLS data.
