Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants
Document Number: 2020-12033
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-07-10
Agency: Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Agencies and Commissions
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is adopting and invites comment on an interim final rule amending its margin requirements for uncleared swaps for swap dealers (``SDs'') and major swap participants (``MSPs'') for which there is no prudential regulator (``CFTC Margin Rule''). The Commission is revising the compliance schedule for the posting and collection of initial margin under the CFTC Margin Rule to defer the compliance date of September 1, 2020, to September 1, 2021 (``Interim Final Rule''). The Commission is issuing the Interim Final Rule to address the operational challenges faced by certain entities subject to the CFTC Margin Rule as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (``COVID-19'') pandemic, consistent with the recent revision of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (together, ``BCBS/IOSCO'') implementation schedule for margin requirements for non-centrally-cleared derivatives.
Creation of Interstitial 12.5 Kilohertz Channels in the 800 MHz Band Between 809-817/854-862 MHz
Document Number: 2020-12007
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-07-10
Agency: Federal Communications Commission, Agencies and Commissions
In this document, the Commission grants in part and denies in part a petition for reconsideration seeking modification and clarification of certain technical rules adopted in a 2018 Report and Order for coordinating interstitial channels in the 809-817/854-862 MHz band (800 MHz Mid-Band). In particular, the document allows some applicants for interstitial applications to streamline their applications, clarifies standards for calculating interference contours that define the distances that must be maintained between interstitial and incumbent stations and refines certain technical elements of the interstitial channel rules.
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Site Remediation Residual Risk and Technology Review
Document Number: 2020-05896
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-07-10
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
This action finalizes the residual risk and technology review (RTR) conducted for the Site Remediation source category regulated under national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing the proposed determination that risks due to emissions of air toxics from site remediation sources are acceptable and that no revision to the standards is required to provide an ample margin of safety to protect public health. Based on the results of our technology review, we are promulgating the proposed changes to the leak detection and repair (LDAR) program. In addition, the EPA is finalizing amendments to revise regulatory provisions pertaining to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM), including finalizing work practice requirements for pressure relief devices (PRDs) and the 240- hour maintenance period for control devices on tanks. We are finalizing requirements for electronic submittal of semiannual reports and performance test results. Finally, we are making minor clarifications and corrections. The final revisions to the rule will increase the level of emissions control and environmental protection provided by the Site Remediation NESHAP.
