Abstract: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is proposing new rules and amendments to its existing regulations for futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), swap execution facilities (“SEFs”), designated contract markets (“DCMs”), and derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”). The Proposal addresses requirements relating to financial oversight of FCMs by self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”) and designated self-regulatory organizations (“DSROs”), as well as disclosure requirements by FCMs regarding affiliate relationships that an FCM has with a SEF, DCM, or DCO. For SEFs, DCMs, and DCOs, the Proposal would also establish requirements, including conflicts of interest rules, to address those registered entities’ relationships with certain affiliates, such as FCM affiliates and affiliated principal trading firms. The Proposal includes guidance regarding the implementation of safeguards to protect the impartiality of SEFs, DCMs, and DCOs, including where applicable in their role as SROs or performing SRO functions with respect to certain affiliates. The guidance addresses the sharing of resources including staffing, technology, and office space, and limitations on the sharing of non-public information.

Short Statement: The Commission is proposing amendments to its rules to its existing regulations for futures commission merchants (“FCMs”), swap execution facilities (“SEFs”), designated contract markets (“DCMs”), and derivatives clearing organizations (“DCOs”). The proposal addresses requirements relating to financial oversight of FCMs by self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”) and designated self-regulatory organizations (“DSROs”), as well as disclosure requirements by FCMs regarding affiliate relationships that the FCM has with a SEF, DCM, or DCO. The Proposal also includes disclosure requirements regarding the existence of certain affiliated relationships and financial resource disclosure requirements when a SEF, DCM, or DCO receives funding from a parent, affiliate, or other third party to comply with existing regulations. The Commission estimates that the information collection requirements associated with the proposed amendments will result in 1,998 annual burden hours and $498,000 associated labor costs for a total of 64 respondent entities.
