The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission") is proposing to amend its regulations pursuant to which a swap is determined to have been made "available to trade" on a swap execution facility ("SEF") or designated contract market ("DCM") for purposes of the trade execution requirement in section 2(h)(8) of the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA" or "ACT").  The proposed amendments are intended to improve the process and methodology for determining whether a swap is made available to trade.  As aprt of the proposed amendments, the Commission is proposing to consolidate the made available to trade regulations in a new part 36 of title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
