Terms of Clearance:
During OMB review, the supporting statement was clarified to reflect the consolidation of information collections under OMB #s 3038-0068 and 3038-0083 into OMB # 3038-0088, and the ICR title updated to reflect this consolidation of the information collections under a single OMB control number. It is anticipated that CFTC will discontinue OMB #s 3038-0068 and 3038-0083 following this consolidated approval under OMB # 3038-0088.

Abstract:
Section 731 of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act, Pub L. No. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) by adding sections 4s(f), 4s(g), and 4s(i), among others. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission promulgated regulations 23.500-23.505, which obligate swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs) to develop and retain written swap trading relationship documentation. The final regulations also establish requirements for SDs and MSPs regarding swap confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression. Confirmation, portfolio reconciliation, and portfolio compression are important, post-trade processing mechanisms for reducing risk and improving operational efficiency.

Short Statement:
The number of respondents has increased from 101 to 107 currently so the aggregate burden hours have increased accordingly. Historically, PRA Collections 3038-0068, 3038-0083, and 3038-0088 were renewed as one consolidated collection. See 82 FR 6241 (Feb. 5, 2016). However, on April 1, 2019, the CFTC published an interim final rule (“IFR”), which allowed uncleared swaps to retain legacy status when transferred in connection with what was, at the time, a potential no-deal Brexit. See 84 FR 12065 (Apr. 1, 2019). As the IFR only affected the calculation of burdens in PRA collection 3038-0088, collection 3038-0088 was considered separately from collections 3038-0068 and 3038-0083 for purposes of incorporating the burdens related to the IFR. Since there is no need now to separate collection 3038-0088 for purposes of renewing these three collections, this renewal request once again will treat collections 3038-0068, 3038-0083, and 3038-0088 as one consolidated collection.
