Title: Segregation and Bankruptcy: Protection of Collateral for Uncleared Swaps; Treatment of Securities in a Portfolio Margining Account in a Commodity Broker Bankruptcy 
Abstract: The staff is considering recommending the Commission finalize rules for uncleared swaps transactions between a swap dealer or major swap participant and a counterparty that would govern the segregation of assets posted as collateral by the counterparty and rules thereunder. The Commission would also finalize proposed rule revisions to ensure that, for purposes of subchapter IV of chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, securities held in a portfolio margining account constitute "customer property" and owners of such accounts constitute "customers."
