Order Extending the Designation of the Provider of Legal Entity Identifiers To Be Used in Recordkeeping and Swap Data Reporting Pursuant to the Commission's Regulations
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'') has issued an order (``Order'') to extend the Commission's designation of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (``DTCC'') and Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (``SWIFT'') joint venture (``DTCC-SWIFT'') as the provider of legal entity identifiers, or ``LEIs,'' pursuant to applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') and the Commission's regulations. DTCC-SWIFT's designation was originally made by Commission order issued on July 23, 2012, for a term of two years. The Commission's order of July 23, 2012 was amended on June 7, 2013, an Amended and Restated Order issued on July 22, 2014 to extend DTCC-SWIFT's designation for an additional one year, and an Order was issued on July 17, 2015 to further extend DTCC- SWIFT's designation for an additional one year. This Order supersedes the Commission's Order issued on July 17, 2015 and further extends DTCC-SWIFT's designation for an additional one year while the transition to a fully operational global LEI system continues. This Order permits registered entities and swap counterparties subject to the Commission's jurisdiction to comply with the legal entity identifier requirements of parts 45 and 46 of the Commission's regulations by using identifiers issued by DTCC-SWIFT, or any other pre-Local Operating Unit (``pre-LOU'') that has been endorsed by the Regulatory Oversight Committee (``ROC'') of the global LEI system as being globally acceptable and as issuing globally acceptable legal entity identifiers.
Agency Information Collection Activities: Revised Collection, Comment Request: Amendments To Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements for Cleared Swaps, Final Rule
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed amendment to an existing collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA''), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including any renewal or revision of such collection, and to allow 60 days for public comment. The Commission recently adopted a final rule regarding the reporting of cleared swap transactions (the ``Cleared Swap Reporting Release''), which will require entities reporting swaps to report certain additional data elements. This Cleared Swap Reporting Release will also require registered derivatives clearing organizations (``DCOs'') to terminate ``original swaps'' (as defined in that final rule), which may require DCOs to connect to multiple registered swap data repositories (``SDRs''). This notice solicits comments on the proposed revisions to existing PRA collections implicated by the requirements of the Cleared Swap Reporting Release.
