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

The Commission is updating the
overall burden hours, collection volumes, and costs related to
Information Collection 3038-0096, based on updated information
related to other collections within Information Collection

example, the Commission is updating the estimated numbers of each
type of entity affected by this collection to accurately reflect
the current number of each type of entity. This includes 24 SEFs
(previously 25), 3 DCMs that allow execution of swaps (previously
15), 3 SDRs (previously 4), 14 DCOs that clear swaps (not
previously included), 103 SDs/MSPs (previously 125), and 1585
non-SD/non-MSP reporting counterparties (previously 703).
