Abstract: Part 40 provides procedures for the submission of rules and rule amendments by registered entities, including designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, derivatives clearing organizations, and swap data repositories. It establishes the procedures for submitting the “written certification” required by Section 5c of the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) in connection with a product or rule certification. Accordingly, new rules or rule amendments must be accompanied by explanations and analyses of the purposes, operations, and effects of the submissions. This information may be submitted as part of the same submission containing the required “written certification.” The Commission is proposing to amend the Part 40 regulations to clarify, simplify, and enhance their utility for market participants and the Commission. This includes some increased information submission requirements for the product and rule submission to ensure that Commission staff receive the information necessary to assess whether new rules and products, and amendments to existing rules and product terms and conditions, comply with the CEA and Commission regulations. The additional explanation and analysis required by the proposed rules is necessary for regulatory purposes. Without prompt receipt of supporting information, staff must expend significant resources and time to replicate the analysis required to support a product or rule submission or to otherwise independently establish a product or rule’s compliance with applicable law. Regulation 40.10 also contains submission procedures for certain risk-related rules proposed by a systemically important derivatives clearing organization (“SIDCO”). The SIDCO regulations require, among other things, 60-days advance notice of proposed rules or rule amendments that may materially affect the nature or level of risks presented by the SIDCO. The SIDCO reporting burden will not be impacted by the proposed amendments.

Short Statement: The proposed rules would amend the Part 40 regulations that provide procedures for the submission of new products, rules and rule amendments by registered entities, including designated contract markets, swap execution facilities, derivatives clearing organizations, and swap data repositories. These changes would increase information submission requirements for the product and rule submissions to ensure that Commission staff receive the information necessary to assess whether new rules and products, and amendments to existing rules and product terms and conditions, comply with the CEA and Commission regulations. As described in Attachment A, the proposal would revise the first Information Collection under this clearance titled “Provisions Common to Registered Entities,” resulting in a new total of 22,896 burden hours. The second information collection under this clearance titled "Part 150 Position Limits" is unchanged.
