Commission Regulations 39.12, 39.13,
39.14, 39.15, 39.16 and 39.18 establish risk management
requirements for registered derivatives clearing organizations
(“DCOs”). Regulation 39.3 requires any person seeking to register
as a DCO to submit a completed Form DCO as provided in the appendix
to Part 39, accompanied by all applicable exhibits. The Commission
will use the information in this collection to assess compliance of
DCOs and DCO applicants with requirements for DCOs prescribed in
the Commodity Exchange Act and Commission regulations.
For system safeguards
reporting, the total hour burden increases slightly (from 2.8 to
3.2) due to the change from 14 to 16 DCOs. Similarly, the total
recordkeeping burden increases from 700 to 800 hours due to the
increase in DCOs.
