Abstract: 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.
