Abstract:
Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the Commodity Exchange Act requires certain entities to submit for clearing certain swaps if they are required to be cleared by the Commission. Rule 50.52 permits certain affiliated entities to elect not to clear certain inter-affiliate swaps that otherwise would be required to be cleared, provided that they meet certain conditions. The rule further requires the reporting of certain information if the exemption is elected. This collection pertains to nformation the Commission needs to monitor use of the exemption and assess market risk in connection therewith.

Short Statement:
The Commission developed and updated its new estimates using information from two SDRs provisionally registered with the Commission. It reflects the option in rule 50.52(d), which allows entities to submit some information, including the information required by CEA section 2(j), on an annual basis, as opposed to submitting identical information with each qualifying inter-affiliate swap. The Commission understands that 100% of entities report annually. The Commission is not aware of any reports filed on a swap-by-swap basis. Also, in arriving at the new wage rate for the hourly costs imposed, Commission staff used the Management & Professional Earnings in the Securities Industry Report, published in 2013 by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Associations.
