View Rule

The Commission adopted rules and rule amendments to Regulation SBSR (Reporting and Dissemination of Security-Based Swap Information). Rule 901(a)(1) requires a platform (i.e., a national securities exchange or security-based swap execution facility registered with the Commission or exempt from registration) to report to a registered security-based swap data repository ("registered SDR") any security-based swap executed on such platform that will be submitted to clearing.  Rule 901(a )(2)(i) requires a registered clearing agency to report to a registered SDR any security-based swap to which it is a counterparty. The Commission also adopted conforming changes to other provisions of Regulation SBSR in light of the  amendments to Rule 901(a), and a new rule that prohibits registered SDRs from charging fees for or imposing usage restrictions on the uses of the security-based swap transaction data that they are required to publicly disseminate.   

The Commission also adopted guidance for the reporting and public dissemination of allocations of cleared security-based swaps and a new compliance schedule for the portions of Regulation SBSR for which the Commission had not previously specified a compliance date.
