Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act
specifically requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(“CFTC” or “Commission”) to establish certain standards for the
registration and governance of swap data repositories (“SDRs”),
including regulations regarding SDRs reporting data to the
Commission and to the public. In addition to implementing standards
governing registration of and statutory duties applicable to SDRs,
the CFTC is also required to adopt regulations that mitigate
certain conflicts of interest in the operation of these entities
and ensure appropriate levels of access by the Commission and
certain other regulators to the data maintained by SDRs. The
information from this collection is necessary for the Commission to
perform its regulatory mandate to provide oversight of the markets
and SDRs. Without accurate reporting of the data as set forth in
the Commission’s regulations discussed in this statement, the
Commission would be unable to fulfill its regulatory mandate of
monitoring systemic risk.

The Commission’s overall burden
estimates are being revised based on two primary factors: First,
the number of SDRs that have registered with the Commission since
the finalization of part 49 has reduced. The previous burden
estimates were based on a total of 6 registered SDRs. Now, there
are currently 4 registered SDRs, a number that is not expected to
grow for the foreseeable future. As a result of this update,
overall burden associated with the collection has been reduced.
Second, the Commission has undertaken a complete review of the
burden associated with the information requirements associated with
this collection consistent with OMB’s instructions. Based on this
review, the Commission is revising its burden estimates for this
collection as described in Attachment A, which has resulted in an
overall reduction of burden associated with this collection. In
addition, the Commission has revised its labor cost estimates based
on updated BLS data.
