Swap Data Access Provisions of Part 49 and Certain Other Matters

Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act specifically requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) to establish certain standards for the registration and governance of swap data repositories (“SDRs”), 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 Commission’s regulations discussed in this statement, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its regulatory mandate of monitoring systemic risk.
