Abstract:
Section 4s(i) to the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) requires the Commission to prescribe standards for swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs) related to the timely and accurate confirmation, processing, netting, documentation, and valuation of swaps. These regulations set forth requirements for swap confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, portfolio compression for SDs and MSPs. This collection would be for information the Commission would need to ensure the affected registrants' compliance with their obligations under the CEA and Commission regulations to confirm their swaps, reconcile their swap portfolios to resolve discrepancies and disputes, and wholly or partially terminate some or all of their outstanding swaps through regular portfolio compression exercises. Failure to comply with the reporting requirements established by the regulation would prohibit the Commission from receiving timely notification of unresolved swap valuation disputes.

Short Statement:
After publishing the proposed rules in the Federal Register, the Commission received information concerning the estimated number of swap dealers and major swap participants that are expected to register with the Commission. As a result of that information, the Commission has revised the estimated number from approximately 300 registrants (as proposed) to approximately 125 registrants. The burden hours have been adjusted accordingly. Other than that change, the estimated burden hours and burden costs are unchanged from the rule proposals.
