View Rule

The Commission proposed regulations to impose ownership and voting limits and governance arrangements applicable to security-based swap clearing agencies and security-based swap execution facilities to mitigate potential conflicts of interest that could exist to those entities. The Commission separately proposed seven new rules and an amendment to an existing rule related to clearing agencies, including clearing agencies that clear security-based swaps.  The proposed rules were designed to enhance the regulatory framework for the supervision of clearing agencies.  The Commission adopted some of the proposed rules.

The Division is now considering recommending that the Commission adopt the remaining rules.  

Overall Description of Deadline: Pub. L. 111-203, sec. 765. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Commission to adopt rules to mitigate conflicts of interest for security-based swap clearing agencies, security-based swap execution facilities, and security-based swap exchanges.
