Increases in Aggregate Costs
There are three components to the
aggregate increase in annual costs
associated with this revision, (a) costs
associated with changes to reporting
systems, to be incurred by 449 entities;
(b) annualized costs associated with
establishing SDR connections by DCOs;
and (c) costs associated with
maintaining SDR connections by DCOs.
First, the Commission estimates that
the costs associated with additional and
amended PET fields will be $15,196 per
entity (200 hours × $75.98 per hour).4
The aggregate increase across all 449
reporting entities and SDRs for the
additional and amended PET fields is
therefore $6,823,004.
Second, the Commission estimates
that DCO to SDR connections will
require each DCO to incur a one-time
4 In calculating the cost figures associated with
burden hours, the Commission estimated the
appropriate wage rate based on salary information
for the securities industry compiled by the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (‘‘SIFMA’’). Commission staff arrived at
an hourly rate of $75.98 using figures from a
weighted average of salaries and bonuses across
different professions from the SIFMA Report on
Management & Professional Earnings in the
Securities Industry 2013, modified to account for an
1800-hour work-year and multiplied by 1.3 to
account for overhead and other benefits. The
Commission estimated appropriate wage rate is a
weighted national average of salary and bonuses for
professionals with the following titles (and their
relative weight): ‘‘programmer (senior)’’ (30%
weight); ‘‘programmer’’ (30%); ‘‘compliance advisor
(intermediate)’’ (20%); ‘‘systems analyst’’ (10%),
and ‘‘assistant/associate general counsel’’ (10%).

start-up cost of $341,910 (4,500 hours x
$75.98 per hour). The Commission
estimates that DCOs will use these
connections for 20 years, and therefore
the annualized start-up cost for SDR
connections will be $17,095 per DCO.
Based on 12 DCOs, the aggregate
annualized start-up cost for SDR
connections will be $205,146.
Third, DCOs will incur an aggregate
annual cost of $4,500,000 to maintain
those SDR connections.
By combining these three
components, the aggregate increase to
annual costs associated with this
collection will be $11,528,150.
Total Aggregate Costs
Commission staff estimate that the
revised aggregate total annual cost for
the collection is $99,462,062. The
burden estimate represents the burden
that SDRs, swap execution facilities
(‘‘SEFs’’), designated contract markets
(‘‘DCMs’’), DCOs, swap dealers (‘‘SDs’’),
major swap participants (‘‘MSPs’’), and
non-SD/MSP swap counterparties incur

26OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 26, 2016 / Notices
1. Compliance Bulletin and Policy
Guidance 2016–02, Service Providers
The Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) expects supervised
banks and nonbanks to oversee their
business relationships with service
providers in a manner that ensures
compliance with Federal consumer
financial law, which is designed to
protect the interests of consumers and
avoid consumer harm. The CFPB’s
exercise of its supervisory and
enforcement authority will closely
reflect this orientation and emphasis.
This Bulletin uses the following
terms:
Supervised banks and nonbanks
refers to the following entities
supervised by the CFPB:
• Large insured depository
institutions, large insured credit unions,
and their affiliates (12 U.S.C. 5515); and
• Certain non-depository consumer
financial services companies (12 U.S.C.
5514).
Supervised service providers refers to
the following entities supervised by the
CFPB:
• Service providers to supervised
banks and nonbanks (12 U.S.C. 5515,
5514); and
• Service providers to a substantial
number of small insured depository
institutions or small insured credit
unions (12 U.S.C. 5516).
Service provider is generally defined
in section 1002(26) of the Dodd-Frank
Act as ‘‘any person that provides a
material service to a covered person in
connection with the offering or
provision by such covered person of a
consumer financial product or service.’’
(12 U.S.C. 5481(26)). A service provider
may or may not be affiliated with the
person to which it provides services.
Federal consumer financial law is
defined in section 1002(14) of the DoddFrank Act (12 U.S.C. 5481(14)).

A. Service Provider Relationships
The CFPB recognizes that the use of
service providers is often an appropriate
business decision for supervised banks
and nonbanks. Supervised banks and
nonbanks may outsource certain
functions to service providers due to
resource constraints, use service
providers to develop and market
additional products or services, or rely
on expertise from service providers that
would not otherwise be available
without significant investment.
However, the mere fact that a
supervised bank or nonbank enters into
a business relationship with a service
provider does not absolve the
supervised bank or nonbank of
responsibility for complying with
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:25 Oct 25, 2016
Jkt 241001
Federal consumer financial law to avoid
consumer harm. A service provider that
is unfamiliar with the legal
requirements applicable to the products
or services being offered, or that does
not make efforts to implement those
requirements carefully and effectively,
or that exhibits weak internal controls,
can harm consumers and create
potential liabilities for both the service
provider and the entity with which it
has a business relationship. Depending
on the circumstances, legal
responsibility may lie with the
supervised bank or nonbank as well as
with the supervised service provider.
B. The CFPB’s Supervisory Authority
Over Service Providers
Title X authorizes the CFPB to
examine and obtain reports from
supervised banks and nonbanks for
compliance with Federal consumer
financial law and for other related
purposes and also to exercise its
enforcement authority when violations
of the law are identified. Title X also
grants the CFPB supervisory and
enforcement authority over supervised
service providers, which includes the
authority to examine the operations of
service providers on site.1 The CFPB
will exercise the full extent of its
supervision authority over supervised
service providers, including its
authority to examine for compliance
with Title X’s prohibition on unfair,
deceptive, or abusive acts or practices.
The CFPB will also exercise its
enforcement authority against
supervised service providers as
appropriate.2
C. The CFPB’s Expectations
The CFPB expects supervised banks
and nonbanks to have an effective
process for managing the risks of service
provider relationships. The CFPB will
apply these expectations consistently,
regardless of whether it is a supervised
bank or nonbank that has the
relationship with a service provider.
The Bureau expects that the depth
and formality of the entity’s risk
management program for service
providers may vary depending upon the
service being performed—its size, scope,
complexity, importance and potential
for consumer harm—and the
performance of the service provider in
carrying out its activities in compliance
with Federal consumer financial laws
and regulations. While due diligence
does not provide a shield against
1 See, e.g., subsections 1024(e), 1025(d), and
1026(e), and sections 1053 and 1054 of the DoddFrank Act, 12 U.S.C. 5514(e), 5515(d), 5516(e),
5563, and 5564.

74411
liability for actions by the service
provider, it could help reduce the risk
that the service provider will commit
violations for which the supervised
bank or nonbank may be liable, as
discussed above.
To limit the potential for statutory or
regulatory violations and related
consumer harm, supervised banks and
nonbanks should take steps to ensure
that their business arrangements with
service providers do not present
unwarranted risks to consumers. These
steps should include, but are not limited
to:
• Conducting thorough due diligence
to verify that the service provider
understands and is capable of
complying with Federal consumer
financial law;
• Requesting and reviewing the
service provider’s policies, procedures,
internal controls, and training materials
to ensure that the service provider
conducts appropriate training and
oversight of employees or agents that
have consumer contact or compliance
responsibilities;
• Including in the contract with the
service provider clear expectations
about compliance, as well as
appropriate and enforceable
consequences for violating any
compliance-related responsibilities,
including engaging in unfair, deceptive,
or abusive acts or practices;
• Establishing internal controls and
on-going monitoring to determine
whether the service provider is
complying with Federal consumer
financial law; and
• Taking prompt action to address
fully any problems identified through
the monitoring process, including
terminating the relationship where
appropriate.

the responsibilities of a supervised bank
or nonbank that has business
arrangements with service providers,
