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. Commission regulation 50.51 permits certain cooperatives to elect not to clear certain 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 for cooperatives is elected. This collection pertains to information the Commission needs to monitor use of the exemption and assess market risk in connection therewith.

Short Statement:
The Commission is revising the burden estimate for this collection of information to reflect the current number of respondents and the expected total annual reporting burden. The Commission developed new estimates for the number of respondents using information from four provisionally registered Swap Data Repositories. In addition, the annual reporting cost burden was adjusted to reflect a new wage rate for hourly costs (based on data in the 2013 report by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association on Office Salaries in the Securities Industry).
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
