Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act added new section 5h to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) to impose requirements concerning the registration and operation of swap execution facilities (SEF), which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) has incorporated in Part 37 and other parts of its regulations. The information required to be provided under Part 37 is necessary for the Commission to evaluate whether SEFs, or entities applying to become SEFs, comply with the CEA’s statutory core principle requirements and related Commission regulations in Part 9,Part 36, and Part 37 of the Commission regulations and demonstrate that they meet the conditions required to be met in order to attain and/or retain their registration.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The Final Rules address operational issues facing SEFs and their market participants in connection with the Commission’s regulatory requirements for a SEF’s audit trail data, financial resources, and chief compliance officer, as well as those areas that a number of SEFs and their market participants found in practice to be operationally unworkable or unnecessarily burdensome. Thus, in eliminating certain information collection burdens for registered SEFs, the Commission estimates on a net basis that the total burden hours imposed on each SEF will be reduced from 447 hours to 387 hours, and since there are 20 registered SEFs, the estimated total annual burden results in 7,740 burden hours.
