Title: Margin and Capital Requirements for Covered Swap Entities. OMB Control No.: 1557–0251. Description: On March 19, 2019,2 the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Farm Credit Administration, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (agencies) issued an interim final rule amending the agencies’ regulations that require swap dealers and security based swap dealers (Swap Margin Rule) under the agencies’ respective jurisdictions to exchange margin with their counterparties for swaps that are not centrally cleared. Swaps entered into before the effective dates of the Swap Margin Rule are grandfathered by the Swap Margin Rule until they expire according to their terms. There are currently financial services firms in the United Kingdom (U.K.) that conduct swap dealing activities subject to the Swap Margin Rule. If the U.K. withdraws from the European Union (E.U.) without a negotiated agreement between the U.K. and E.U., entities located in the U.K. may not be authorized to provide full-scope financial services to swap counterparties located in the E.U. The agencies are addressing a scenario whereby entities located in the U.K. might transfer their existing swap portfolios that face counterparties located in the E.U. over to an affiliate or other related establishment located within the E.U. or the United States (U.S.). These transfers, if carried out in accordance with the conditions of the interim final rule, will not trigger the application of the Swap Margin Rule to grandfathered swaps that were entered into before the Swap Margin Rule’s compliance dates. The interim final rule distinguishes transfers initiated by the financial entity standing as the covered swap entity at the completion of the transaction from a transfers initiated by the covered swap 2 84 FR 9940.
