Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements

Key Information

Abstract

Section 2(a)(13)(G) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) requires that all swaps, whether cleared or uncleared, must be reported to SDRs. CEA section 21(b) directs the Commission to prescribe standards for swap data recordkeeping and reporting, which are to apply to both registered entities and counterparties involved with swaps. The Commission established these regulations in Part 45 of the Commission’s regulations. The regulations establish swap reporting and recordkeeping requirements for swap execution facilities (“SEFs”), designated contract markets (“DCMs”), swap data repositories (“SDRs”), derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”), swap dealers (“SDs”), major swap participants (“MSPs”), and non-SD/MSP/DCO counterparties. On November 25, 2020, the Commission published the final rule amending regulations in Parts 45 concerning swap data recordkeeping and reporting requirements (“Swap Data Reporting Rule”). Regulation 45.7 requires swaps to be identified in all recordkeeping and all swap data reporting by means of a Unique Product Identifier (“UPI”) and product classification system after the Commission designates a UPI and product classification system that satisfies the requirements set forth in the section. As part of that rulemaking, the Commission provided that the burden for the product fields reported in place of UPIs would be accounted for as part of the burden estimates associated with §§ 45.3 and 45.4 until the Commission designated a UPI. On February 24, 2023, the Commission issued an order designating a UPI and product classification system to be used in swap recordkeeping and data reporting for swaps in the credit, equity, foreign exchange, and interest rate asset classes. Now that the Commission has designated a UPI and product classification system for certain asset classes, the Commission is revising Information Collection 3038-0096 to take into account the revised burden associated with reporting pursuant to the newly designated UPI and product classification system, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (“PRA”) and Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) regulations. These information collection requirements impact SDRs, SEFs, DCMs, and reporting counterparties that report swap data for the Commission to perform its regulatory duties of risk monitoring and ensuring compliance with its rules, among other items. As part of this update, the Commission is addressing the burden estimates pertaining to information collections for § 45.7.

Volcker Rule Restrictions on Proprietary Trading and Relationships with Hedge Funds and Private Equity Funds

Key Information

Abstract

Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act added a new section 13 to the Bank Holding Company (“BHC”) Act (codified at 12 U.S.C. § 1851) that, subject to certain exemptions, generally prohibits any banking entity from engaging in proprietary trading or from investing in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund (“covered fund”) (the “Volcker Rule”). The BHC Act also provides for certain nonbank financial companies that engage in such activities or have such investments or relationships to be subject to additional capital requirements, quantitative limits, or other restrictions. The agencies are revising to the Volcker Rule to provide banking entities with a greater certainty about what activities are prohibited and to improve supervision and implementation of section 13 of the BHC Act, while reducing the overall complexity and burden associated with the prior rule.
