Abstract:
CEA § 21(c)(7) directs SDRs to make swap data available “on a confidential basis pursuant to [CEA §] 8” to certain enumerated domestic authorities and any other person the CFTC determines to be appropriate, which may include certain types of foreign authorities. CEA § 21(d) mandates that, prior to receiving any requested data or information from a swap data repository (“SDR”), an authority seeking SDR swap data access agree in writing to abide by the confidentiality requirements described in CEA § 8. CEA § 8 describes circumstances under which public disclosure of information in the Commission’s possession is permitted and prohibited. The collection is designed to elicit information from authorities seeking SDR swap data access (including information regarding the scope of their jurisdiction and the measures they will have in place to safeguard the confidentiality of SDR swap data) to enable the CFTC to determine whether applicants are appropriate recipients of such data. The collection is designed to alert the Commission to circumstances in which SDR swap data recipients seek to, have or may receive SDR swap data outside the scope of their jurisdiction. Authorities would use SDR swap data for purposes within the scope of their jurisdiction. .

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The present submission includes a reduction in burden hours to account for (1) reducing the estimated number of SDRs from six to four, to more accurately reflect the current state of the market (i.e., there are four registered SDRs), (2) a proposed reduction in the scope of one reporting requirement and (3) implementation of the FAST Act, which removed the statutory requirement that an appropriate domestic regulator (“ADR”) or appropriate foreign regulator (“AFR”) indemnify the Commission and each relevant SDR for all expenses arising from litigation relating to the information provided by the SDR under section 8. The present submission also includes an increase in burden hours to account for (1) a proposed rule that would require SDRs to incur costs to ensure that swap data provided to ADRs or AFRs is within the scope of the requesting entity’s jurisdiction, (2) proposed recordkeeping requirements and (3) proposed new reporting requirements.
