Abstract:
Rule 15Fi-2 prescribes documentation standards for the timely and accurate acknowledgment and verification of SBS transactions by SBS Entities. The rule contains seven paragraphs: (a) the trade acknowledgment obligations of specific SBS Entities; (b) the prescribed time frames under which a trade acknowledgment must be provided; (c) the form and content requirements of the trade acknowledgment; (d) SBS Entities’ verification obligations; (e) a limited exception from the requirement to provide a clearing agency a trade acknowledgment in a clearing transaction; (f) a limited exception from the requirement to provide a trade acknowledgment for certain transactions executed on a security-based swap execution facility or a national securities exchange or accepted for clearing by a clearing agency; and (g) a limited exemption from the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-10 for a broker-dealer acting as principal for its own account in a security-based swap transaction.

Short Statement:
There is no change in burden. As noted above, the compliance date for the Rules has not yet passed, and the staff has not changed its estimates of the burdens and costs the respondents will incur when the compliance date is in effect. The staff has, however, changed how the burdens in IC1 and IC2 are calculated in order to more effectively present the burdens for each SBS entity. When the rule was adopted, the staff viewed each trade acknowledgement as a response, with each response having a very low burden associated with it. Practically speaking, however, the burden associated with modifying and supporting OMSs is not dependent on the number of trade acknowledgments sent; the burden will not change regardless of that number. Therefore, we have revised the calculation so that it has the number of SBS entities as the respondents and the number of hours to modify or support the OMS as the burden per respondent. Both the earlier analysis and the current analysis yield the same number of burden hours per year. In addition, the burdens were previously presented as two ICs, but we have separated them into four (i.e., the first burden is now IC1 and IC2 and the second burden is now IC3 and IC4). We did this so the estimates would be easier to follow and to revise in the future.
