Rule 50.50 End-User Notification of Non-Cleared Swap

Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the Commodity Exchange Act requires certain entities to submit for clearing certain swaps if they are required to be cleared by the Commission. Section 2(h)(7)(a) provides that non-financial end-users using swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk may elect not to clear swaps that otherwise would be required to be cleared, if they satisfy certain conditions. Similarly, Rule 50.50 permits certain end-user entities to elect not to clear swaps that otherwise would be required to be cleared, provided that they satisfy certain conditions. The rule further requires the reporting of certain information if the exception is elected. This collection pertains to information the Commission needs to monitor use of the end-user exception, to prevent abuse of the end-user election, and to assess market risk in connection therewith.
