The CFTC requests approval of the
proposed revision of this ICR to add a new information collection
instrument (Swap Data Error Correction Form) that implements the
requirements of 17 CFR 45.14 (Correcting errors in swap data
verification of swap data accuracy). The Swap Data Error Correction
Form specifies the format and manner in which respondents should
submit the reports required under 17 CFR 45.14. The information is
needed to ensure 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 ensure compliance with statutes and
regulations relating to swaps. Respondents are entities or persons
who trade swaps, clear swaps, provide a swap execution platform, or
collect swap data repository. The regulations establish swap
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for swap execution
facilities (“SEFs”), designated contract markets (“DCMs”), swap
data repositories (“SDRs”), derivatives clearing organizations
(“DCOs”), swap dealers (“SDs”), major swap participants (“MSPs”),
and non-SD/MSP/DCO counterparties. The Commission’s regulations in
part 45 require SEFs, DCMs, and reporting counterparties to report
swap data to SDRs. The SDRs provide this data to the Commission
directly. The Commission uses swap data in connection with
fulfilling its regulatory duties. The new information collection
under this control number relates specifically to the Commission’s
changes to Part 39 of its regulations to establish a regulatory
framework for the clearing of swaps by exempt derivatives clearing
organizations (“DCOs”), pursuant to Section 5b(h) of the CEA (7
U.S.C. 7a-1(h)). Although Part 45 applies to a number of registered
entities and market participants, including registered DCOs, the
proposed changes would affect only the reporting burden for exempt
DCOs. The information collection is necessary to fulfill the
Commission’s statutory and regulatory mandates, including systemic
risk mitigation, market monitoring, and market abuse prevention.
The information is used to provide oversight and supervision and to
ensure compliance with statutes and regulations relating to
swaps.
The Commission proposes to
revise Information Collection 3038-0096 to add a new Swap Data
Error Correction Notification Form as a new Information Collection
Instrument. The Commission is also revising the burden estimates
for these collections to account for burden associated with the
reporting requirements for swap data error correction, which are
being implemented by the Form. These revisions result in an
incremental increase in burden of 10,452 burden hours.
