Short Statement:
The clearing exemption rule provides an elective exemption to certain cooperatives from the regulatory requirement to submit swaps for clearing by a derivatives clearing organization. The reporting requirements of the clearing exemption rule require reporting of when the exemption from clearing is being elected and who is electing the exemption. This information is necessary to allow the Commission to determine that a swap that is otherwise subject to mandatory clearing is not being cleared because the cooperative exemption has been elected by an eligible cooperative.
