Title: Exemptions for Security-Based Swaps 
Abstract: The Commission adopted interim final rules, providing exemptions under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, and Trust Indenture Act of 1939, for those security-based swaps that under previous law were security-based swap agreements and have been defined as "securities" under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as of July 16, 2011, due solely to the provisions of title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Division is considering recommending that the Commission propose rules that would enable transactions in security-based swaps to rely on existing exemptions under the Securities Act.
