Title: Customer Clearing
Documentation and Timing of
Acceptance for Clearing (OMB Control
No. 3038–0092). This is a request for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: Section 4d(c) of the
Commodity Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) (7
U.S.C. 6d(c)), as amended by the DoddFrank Wall Street and Reform Consumer
Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’),
directs the Commission to require
futures commission merchants
(‘‘FCMs’’) to implement conflict of
interest procedures that address such
issues the Commission determines to be
appropriate. Similarly, CEA section
4s(j)(5) (7 U.S.C. 6s(j)(5)), as added by
the Dodd-Frank Act, requires swap
dealers (‘‘SDs’’) and major swap
participants (‘‘MSPs’’) to implement
conflict of interest procedures that
address such issues the Commission
determines to be appropriate. CEA
section 4s(j)(5) also requires SDs and
MSPs to ensure that any persons
providing clearing activities or making
determinations as to accepting clearing
customers are separated by appropriate
informational partitions from persons
whose involvement in pricing, trading,
or clearing activities might bias their
judgment or contravene the core
principle of open access. CEA section
4s(j)(6) prohibits an SD or MSP from
adopting any process or taking any
action that results in any unreasonable
restraint on trade or imposes any
material anticompetitive burden on
trading or clearing, unless necessary or
appropriate to achieve the purposes of
the Act. CEA section 2(h)(1)(B)(ii) (7
U.S.C. 2(h)(1)(B)(ii)) requires that
derivatives clearing organization
(‘‘DCO’’) rules provide for the
nondiscriminatory clearing of swaps
executed bilaterally or through an
unaffiliated designated contract market
or swap execution facility.
To address these provisions, the
Commission promulgated regulations
that prohibit arrangements involving
FCMs, SDs, MSPs, and DCOs that would
(a) disclose to an FCM, SD, or MSP the
identity of a customer’s original
executing counterparty; 2 (b) limit the
number of counterparties with whom a
customer may enter into a trade; 3 (c)
restrict the size of the position a
customer may take with any individual
counterparty, apart from an overall
credit limit for all positions held by the
customer at the FCM; 4 (d) impair a
customer’s access to execution of a trade
on terms that have a reasonable

relationship to the best terms available; 5
or (e) prevent compliance with specified
time frames for acceptance of trades into
clearing set forth in Commission
regulations §§ 1.74(b), 23.610(b), or
39.12(b)(7).6 Additionally, the
Commission requires, through
regulation § 39.12(b)(7)(i)(B), DCOs to
coordinate with clearing members to
establish prompt processing of trades.
Regulations §§ 1.74(a) and 23.610(a)
require reciprocal coordination by
FCMs, SDs, and MSPs that are clearing
members.
Under the above regulations, SDs,
MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs are required to
develop and maintain written customer
clearing documentation and trade
processing procedures. Maintenance of
contracts, policies, and procedures is
prudent business practice. All SDs,
MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs maintain
documentation consistent with these
regulations. The regulations are crucial
both for effective risk management and
for the efficient operation of trading
venues among SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and
DCOs. Each of these entities has a
general recordkeeping obligation for
these requirements under the
Commission’s regulations (17 CFR 39.20
for DCOs; 17 CFR 23.606 for SDs and
MSPs; and 17 CFR 1.73 for FCMs).
As indicated below, the information
collection burden arising from the
regulations primarily is restricted to the
costs associated with the affected
registrants’ obligation to maintain
records related to clearing
documentation between the customer
and the customer’s clearing member,
and trade processing procedures
between DCOs and FCMs, SDs, and
MSPs. The information collection
obligations are necessary to implement
certain provisions of the CEA, including
ensuring that registrants exercise
effective risk management and for the
efficient operation of trading venues
among SDs, MSPs, FCMs, and DCOs.
With respect to the collection of
information, the CFTC invites
comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
