Abstract: On April 3, 2012, the Commission adopted Commission regulations 23.201 through 23.205 (Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Daily Trading Records Requirements For Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants) pursuant to sections 4s(f) and 4s(g) of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Commission regulations 23.201 through 23.205 require, among other things, swap dealers (“SD”) and major swap participants (“MSP”) to maintain transaction and position records of their swaps (including daily trading records) and to maintain specified business records (including records related to the governance and financial status of the swap dealer or major swap participant, complaints received by such SD or MSP and such SD or MSP’s marketing and sales materials). They also require SDs and MSPs to report certain swap transaction data to swap data repositories, to satisfy certain real time public reporting requirements, and to maintain records of information reported to swap data depositories and for real time reporting purposes. The Commission believes that the information collection obligations imposed by Commission regulations 23.201 through 23.205 are necessary to implement sections 4s(f) and 4s(g) of the CEA, including ensuring that each SD and MSP maintains the required records of their business activities and an audit trail sufficient to conduct comprehensive and accurate trade reconstruction. Section 731 of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) to add section 4s(f) and 4s(g) which establish certain reporting, recordkeeping, and daily trading records requirements for swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs). Specifically, section 4s(f) authorizes the Commission to promulgate books and records and reporting requirements for SDs and MSPs. It also expressly obligates SDs and MSPs to maintain records of all activities related to their swaps businesses and to make reports regarding their transactions, positions and financial condition, as required by such regulations. Section 4s(g) requires SDs and MSPs to maintain daily trading records of their swaps that contain any information prescribed by Commission regulations; all related records (including records of related cash and forward transactions); all recorded communications (including electronic mail, instant messages, and recordings of telephone calls); and a complete audit trail for conducting comprehensive and accurate trade reconstruction. Section 4s(g) also requires that the daily trading records for each swap transaction be identifiable by transaction and by counterparty.
