This new information collection was
created by an interim final rule required by the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA). Title III
of TRIPRA, the “Business Risk Mitigation and Price Stabilization
Act of 2015,” amends the statutory provisions added by the
Dodd-Frank Act relating to margin requirements for non-cleared
swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps. Section 302 of Title
III amends sections 731 and 764 of the Dodd-Frank Act to provide
that the initial and variation margin requirements do not apply to
certain transactions with specified counterparties that qualify for
an exemption or exception from clearing. Non-cleared swaps and
non-cleared security-based swaps that are exempt under section 302
of TRIPRA will not be subject to the Agencies’ rules implementing
margin requirements. In section 303 of TRIPRA, Congress required
that the Agencies implement the provisions of Title III by
promulgating an interim final rule and seeking public comment on
the interim final rule.
On January 12, 2015,
President Obama signed into law the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA). In section 303 of
TRIPRA, Congress required that the Agencies implement the
provisions of Title III by promulgating an interim final rule and
seeking public comment on the interim final rule. FDIC is therefore
promulgating this interim final rule with request for comment. We
are requesting clearance on the information collection requirements
before April 1, 2016, the effective date of the rule.
