SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Large Trader Reporting for
Physical Commodity Swaps (OMB
Control No. 3038–0095). This is a
request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Part 20 of the Commission’s
regulations (‘‘Reporting Rules’’) requires
clearing organizations and any persons
that are ‘‘reporting entities’’ to file
swaps position data with the
Commission. The Reporting Rules
require each clearing organization to
submit clearing member reports to the
Commission. The Reporting Rules also
require each reporting entity to submit
position reports to the Commission that
indicate the reporting entity’s principal
and counterparty positions in cleared
and uncleared physical commodity
swaps. Reporting entities are persons
that are either ‘‘clearing members’’ or
‘‘swap dealers’’ that are otherwise not
clearing members. For purposes of part
20, reporting parties are required to
submit data on positions on a futures
equivalent basis so as to allow the
Commission to assess a trader’s market
impact across differently structured but
linked derivatives instruments and
markets. This renewal updates the total
requested burden based on available
reported data.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. On March 18, 2024, the
Commission published in the Federal
Register notice of the proposed
extension of this information collection
and provided 60 days for public
comment on the proposed extension, 89
FR 19298 (‘‘60-Day Notice’’). The
Commission received three relevant

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:25 Jun 27, 2024

Jkt 262001

comment letters on the 60-Day Notice,2
which are discussed below.
First, the commenters argued that the
Commission should sunset the
Reporting Rules. BPEC and the Working
Group asserted that swap data
repositories (‘‘SDRs’’) collect and submit
data to the Commission that duplicates
data derived by the Reporting Rules.3
FIA–ISDA stated that SDRs collect open
commodity swap position data from
reporting parties, and asserted that
because SDRs submit open swaps data
in the same format, the Commission
should be able to aggregate the open
swap positions of all swap market
participants in a way that allows the
Commission to surveil trading in the
physical commodity swap and
swaptions markets.4
Under the Reporting Rules’ sunset
provision, the Commission may
‘‘sunset’’ the reporting rules upon the
issuance of an order containing a
Commission finding that SDRs are
processing positional data in a way that
enables effective surveillance of trading
in paired swaps and swaptions and
paired swap and swaption markets.5
The Commission has not, however,
issued an order with such a finding. At
the time of adoption, the Commission
determined that the Reporting Rules are
necessary notwithstanding the
possibility that SDRs could later be used
to generate positional data.6 The
Commission has continued to recognize
that large trader reporting is critical to
the Commission’s mission.7 Moreover,
the Commission notes that there are
differences in data reported pursuant to
the Reporting Rules and the SDR
commodity open swaps reports,
including, as one example, the reporting
in futures contracts equivalents under
the Reporting Rules. In addition,
commodity products reporting is not
currently standardized in all aspects
across SDRs.8 Nonetheless, the
2 The following entities submitted a relevant
comment letter: The Futures Industry Association,
Inc. (‘‘FIA’’) collectively with the International
Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (‘‘ISDA’’)
(collectively, ‘‘FIA–ISDA’’), BP Energy Company
(‘‘BPEC’’), and The Commercial Energy Working
Group (the ‘‘Working Group’’).

4 FIA–ISDA at 3.
5 See 17 CFR 20.9(a).
6 Large Trader Reporting for Physical Commodity
Swaps, 76 FR 43851 at 43858.
7 See, e.g., In the Matter of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
(Sept. 27, 2016) (noting that large trader reporting
‘‘is critical to the mission of the Commission for
numerous reasons, including surveillance of the
markets to detect disruptions to market integrity,
enforcement and calculating statistics that the
Commission publishes to enhance market
transparency’’).
8 See Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements, Final Rule, 85 FR 75503, 75540
(Nov. 2020).

Commission will continue to evaluate
the Reporting Rules and the
Commission may address the sunset
comments at a later date. If the
Commission were to seek to sunset the
Reporting Rules, such sunset would
occur through Commission action by
way of an order as contemplated by
Commission regulation 20.9, and not
through the present PRA renewal.
In addition, FIA–ISDA commented on
the burden part 20 imposes on market
participants and the Commission. FIA–
ISDA asserted that the Commission’s
estimated average burden per
respondent of 14.33 hours
underestimates the burden because the
Swaps LTR Guidebook ‘‘takes many
hours’’ to understand and ‘‘[i]dentifying
in-scope swaps, calculating futures
equivalent quantities, programing IT
systems, verifying the accuracy of data
inputs and outputs, and submitting and
correcting reports takes each reporting
party hundreds of manhours.’’ 9
For the reasons described below, the
Commission has determined to retain
the burden hour estimates described in
the 60-Day Notice. The Commission’s
burden estimates were calculated during
the 2011 rulemaking that issued the
Large Trader Reporting Rules and were
subject to comment.10 The estimate of
14.33 hours per respondent is an annual
average, and these burden estimates
(and the accompanying cost-benefit
analysis during the original rulemaking)
accounted for upfront costs.11 Moreover,
these burden estimates have been
reviewed and updated through PRA
renewals at various points since 2011.
The commenters have not provided
specific hours estimates regarding the
burden associated with reporting under
the rule. In the absence of specific data
showing how the Commission’s burden
estimates should be changed, and in
light of cost having been included in the
Commission’s prior upfront cost
analyses, the Commission has
determined to retain its existing burden
hour estimates. Although the
Commission is not revising it burden
estimates here, it will continue to
evaluate its burden estimates and may
revise them in the future, as
appropriate.
Burden Statement: The Commission
is revising its estimate of the burden for
this collection. The respondent burden

burden on industry’’ without providing quantitative
data on reporting burden).
