The information is needed to ensure
that the Commission and other regulators have access to complete
data concerning swaps, as required by the Commodity Exchange Act as
amended by the Dodd-Frank Act. The information is for use by
government entities to provide oversight and supervision and to
ensure compliance with statutes and regulations relating to swaps.
Respondents are entities or persons who trade swaps, clear swaps,
provide a swap execution platform, or collect swap data
repository.
Amendments to the PRA increase
the burden for derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) by 4500
hours on one-time basis and $375,000 on annual basis to account for
requirements of DCOs to connect to swap data repositories (SDRs).
Amendments also increase burden to all reporting entities
(estimated 445) and SDRs by 200 hours on an annual basis to account
for changes in reporting systems to comply with new required data
elements in the Cleared Swap Rule and future changes brought about
by regulatory changes or developments in the swaps market.
