(c) Economically equivalent swap. (1) Upon a determination that a swap is available to trade, all other designated contract markets and swap execution facilities listing or offering for trading such swap and/or any economically equivalent swap, shall make those swaps available to trade for purposes of Section 2(h)(8) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(d) Annual review. (1) A designated contract market shall conduct an annual review and assessment of each swap it has made available to trade to determine whether or not each swap should continue to be available to trade. The annual review shall be conducted at the designated contract market’s fiscal year end. (2) When conducting its review and assessment pursuant to paragraph (d)(1) of this section, a designated contract market shall consider the factors specified in paragraph (b) of this section. (3) The designated contract market shall provide electronically to the Commission a report of its review and assessment, including any supporting information or data, not more than 30 days after the designated contract market’s fiscal year end.

Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman Gary Gensler I support the proposed rule to implement a process for designated contract markets (DCMs) and swap execution facilities (SEFs) to make a swap ‘‘available to trade.’’ The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act requires that swaps subject to the clearing requirement be traded on a DCM or SEF, unless no DCM or SEF makes the swap available to trade or the swap transaction is subject to the end-user exception. This proposal will bring transparency to the process for making a swap available to trade on a DCM or SEF. It also will provide appropriate oversight of the process through Commodity Futures Trading Commission review.
