COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION

17 CFR Part 49

RIN 3038-AE14

Swap Data Repositories--Access to SDR Data by Market Participants

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Interim final rule; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or 
``CFTC'') is adopting an interim final rule to clarify the scope of 
permissible access by market participants to swap data and information 
maintained by a registered swap data repository (``SDR''). 
Specifically, the interim final rule clarifies that, for a swap that is 
executed anonymously on a swap execution facility or designated 
contract market, and then cleared in accordance with the Commission's 
straight-through processing requirements, the data and information 
maintained by a registered SDR that may be accessed by either 
counterparty to the swap does not include the identity of the other 
counterparty to the swap, the identity of the other counterparty's 
clearing member for the swap, or such counterparty's or clearing 
member's legal entity identifier.

DATES: Effective date: This interim final rule is effective March 26, 
2014.
    Comment date: Comments on this interim final rule must be submitted 
on or before April 25, 2014.

I. Background

A. Dodd-Frank Act Section 728; CEA Section 21

    On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'').\2\ 
Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Commodity Exchange Act 
(``CEA'' or ``Act'') \3\ to establish a comprehensive new regulatory 
framework for swaps. The legislation was enacted to reduce systemic 
risk, increase transparency, and promote market integrity within the 
financial system by, among other things: (1) Providing for the 
registration and comprehensive regulation of swap dealers and major 
swap participants; (2) imposing clearing and trade execution 
requirements on standardized derivative products; (3) creating a 
rigorous recordkeeping and data reporting regime with respect to swaps, 
including real-time public reporting; and (4) enhancing the 
Commission's rulemaking and enforcement authorities over all registered 
entities, intermediaries and swap counterparties subject to the 
Commission's oversight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).
    \3\ 7 U.S.C. 1 et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act added new section 21 to the CEA, 
establishing swap data repositories, or ``SDRs'', as a new category of 
Commission registered entity. The SDR

[[Page 16673]]

category was established to enhance transparency, promote 
standardization, and reduce systemic risk by facilitating the 
collection and maintenance of swap transaction data and information, 
and making such data and information directly and electronically 
available to regulators.\4\ New CEA section 21 addresses the 
registration and regulation of SDRs and sets forth duties and core 
principles with which an SDR must comply in order to register and 
maintain registration. One of those duties, set forth in CEA section 
21(c)(6), is that an SDR ``maintain the privacy of any and all swap 
transaction information that [it] receives from a swap dealer, 
counterparty, or any other registered entity.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Section 2(a)(13)(G) of the CEA, added by section 727 of the 
Dodd-Frank Act, requires all swaps--whether cleared or uncleared--to 
be reported to a registered SDR.
    \5\ Section 21(c)(6) of the CEA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 21 also directs the Commission to adopt rules governing 
registered SDRs.\6\ On December 23, 2010, the Commission published in 
the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking (``NPRM'') to 
implement the provisions of CEA section 21.\7\ After reviewing the 
public comments received on the NPRM, the Commission adopted final SDR 
rules as 17 CFR part 49, published in the Federal Register on September 
1, 2011 (``Final SDR Rules'').\8\

B. Access to SDR Data by Market Participants

    The Final SDR Rules contain certain provisions addressing access to 
the data and information reported to and maintained by a registered 
SDR. Privacy and confidentiality requirements applicable to registered 
SDRs are set forth in Sec.  49.16, and access to SDR data is addressed 
in Sec.  49.17.
    Access to SDR data by market participants is directly addressed in 
Sec.  49.17(f). In the NPRM, the Commission proposed Sec.  49.17(f) to 
generally prohibit access by a market participant to swap data 
maintained by a registered SDR unless, pursuant to an exception set 
forth in Sec.  49.17(f)(2), the specific data was originally submitted 
by such market participant.\9\ Based on comments received on the 
NPRM,\10\ the Commission adopted final Sec.  49.17(f) largely as 
proposed, but with a revision to the exception in Sec.  49.17(f)(2) to 
provide that data and information related to a particular swap may be 
accessed by either counterparty to the swap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Proposed Sec.  49.17(f)(1) provided that ``[a]ccess of swap 
data maintained by the registered swap data repository to market 
participants is generally prohibited.'' The exception set forth at 
proposed Sec.  49.17(f)(2) provided that ``[d]ata and information 
maintained by the registered swap data repository may be accessed by 
market participants if the specific data was originally submitted by 
such party.'' 75 FR at 80932.
    \10\ See discussion in the preamble to the Final SDR Rules of 
comments received from the American Benefits Council and the 
Committee on the Investment of Employee Benefit Assets, and from the 
Global Foreign Exchange Division formed in cooperation with the 
Association for Financial Markets in Europe, the Securities Industry 
and Financial Markets Association and the Asia Securities Industry 
and Financial Markets Association, each indicating that proposed 
Sec.  49.17(f) should be modified to allow both counterparties to a 
swap to access data and information maintained at an SDR for that 
swap. 76 FR 54555.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Final Sec.  49.17(f)(1) provides that ``[a]ccess of swap data 
maintained by the registered swap data repository to market 
participants is generally prohibited.'' Final Sec.  49.17(f)(2) 
provides that ``[d]ata and information related to a particular swap 
that is maintained by the registered swap data repository may be 
accessed by either counterparty to that particular swap.'' As noted in 
the preamble to the Final SDR Rules, ``[t]he underlying basis for this 
regulation was to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the 
reported data while also limiting potential access to reported swap 
data to the rightful parties to a swap.'' \11\

II. Scope of Permissible Access to SDR Data and Information by 
Counterparties to Anonymously Executed, Cleared Swaps

A. Discussion

    Pursuant to Sec.  49.17(f)(1), access by market participants to 
swap data maintained by a registered SDR is generally prohibited. An 
exception to this general prohibition is set forth at Sec.  
49.17(f)(2), which provides that data and information related to a 
particular swap may be accessed by either counterparty to the swap.
    The exception provided in Sec.  49.17(f)(2) must be read with 
reference to the CEA; as a matter of construction, the exception must 
fall within the bounds of statutory requirements. The exception 
provided in Sec.  49.17(f)(2) thus includes an implicit condition: 
counterparty access to data and information related to a particular 
swap cannot be obtained in contravention of any CEA requirement or 
prohibition. As discussed above, CEA section 21(c)(6) requires a 
registered SDR to maintain the privacy of any and all swap transaction 
information that the SDR receives from a swap dealer, counterparty or 
any other registered entity. Accordingly, Sec.  49.17(f)(2) authorizes 
counterparty access to data and information related to a particular 
swap only to the extent that such access is consistent with an SDR's 
privacy obligations under CEA section 21(c)(6).
    When a swap is executed anonymously on a swap execution facility 
(``SEF'') or designated contract market (``DCM'') and then cleared in 
accordance with the Commission's straight-through processing 
requirements \12\--such that the counterparties to the swap would not 
otherwise be known to one another--the identity of each counterparty to 
the swap and its clearing member for the swap, as well as the legal 
entity identifier (``LEI'') \13\ of such

[[Page 16674]]

counterparty and its clearing member, is information that is private 
vis-[agrave]-vis the other counterparty to the swap, and this privacy 
must be maintained by a registered SDR pursuant to CEA section 
21(c)(6). This statutory privacy obligation now operates implicitly to 
limit the scope of Sec.  49.17(f)(2)--which, accordingly, does not 
permit a counterparty to a swap that is executed anonymously on a SEF 
or a DCM, and then cleared in accordance with the Commission's 
straight-through processing requirements, to access the identity of the 
other counterparty to the swap or that counterparty's clearing member 
for the swap, or the other counterparty's or its clearing member's 
LEI.\14\ The Commission is adopting this interim final rule to clarify 
the scope of Sec.  49.17(f)(2),\15\ by making explicit the limitation 
on counterparty access to data and information related to an 
anonymously executed, cleared swap that applies by virtue of the 
privacy requirements of CEA section 21(c)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 17 CFR 1.74, 23.610 and 39.12(b)(7), which set forth 
rules governing the timeframe for submitting a trade to, and 
subsequent acceptance of the trade by, a derivatives clearing 
organization.
    \13\ Part 45 of the Commission's regulations, 77 FR 2136 
(January 13, 2012), which establishes swap data recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements, provides in Sec.  45.6 that each 
counterparty to any swap subject to the jurisdiction of the 
Commission must be identified in all recordkeeping and swap data 
reporting required under part 45 by means of a single legal entity 
identifier, or ``LEI'', issued pursuant to Commission rules. Part 46 
of the Commission's regulations, 77 FR 35200 (June 12, 2012), which 
establishes swap data recordkeeping and reporting requirements for 
``pre-enactment swaps'' and ``transition swaps'' (each as defined in 
part 46), provides in Sec.  46.4 that each counterparty to a pre-
enactment swap or transition swap in existence on or after April 25, 
2011, must obtain an LEI, which must be used for purposes of swap 
data recordkeeping and reporting as prescribed in Sec.  46.4.
    The Commission is a participant in an international process, now 
led by an international Regulatory Oversight Committee (``ROC'') of 
which the Commission is a member, to establish a global LEI system. 
In response to requests from other international financial 
regulators participating in this process, the Commission is, on a 
transitional basis, referring to the identifier designated for use 
in recordkeeping and reporting pursuant to part 45 and part 46 as 
the CFTC Interim Compliant Identifier (``CICI''). See Availability 
of a Legal Entity Identifier Meeting the Requirements of the 
Regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and 
Designation of Provider of Legal Entity Identifiers to be Used in 
the Recordkeeping and Swap Data Reporting, 77 FR 53780 (September 4, 
2012), as amended by Amended Order Designating the Provider of Legal 
Entity Identifiers to Be Used in Recordkeeping and Swap Data 
Reporting Pursuant to the Commission's Regulations, 78 FR 38954 
(June 28, 2013) (the ``Amended Designation Order'').
    The global LEI system is currently in the process of becoming 
operational, with the ROC already in place, a number of pre-Local 
Operating Units (``pre-LOUs'') already endorsed by the ROC, and a 
Central Operating Unit (``COU'') in the process of being 
established. The ROC now refers to the identifiers issued by the 
various endorsed pre-LOUs, including the CICI, as ``pre-LEIs''. 
Since specified conditions set forth in the Amended Designation 
Order have now been satisfied, any ROC-endorsed pre-LEI may 
currently be used for purposes of compliance with part 45 and part 
46. Once the global LEI system is fully operational, ROC-endorsed 
pre-LEIs, including CICIs, will transition into the global LEI 
system and be referred to as LEIs.
    For purposes of this interim final rule, the term legal entity 
identifier, or ``LEI'', refers to an LEI, a pre-LEI or a CICI, as 
the context requires.
    \14\ While the name of a counterparty's clearing member for a 
swap, and such clearing member's LEI, is not information regarding 
the swap that is required to be reported to a registered SDR 
pursuant to part 45 or part 46 of the Commission's regulations, the 
Commission understands that such information may be included with 
reports of required swap data, and may therefore be ``information 
related to a particular swap that is maintained by the registered 
[SDR]''.
    \15\ The Commission notes that it has received inquiries from 
market participants regarding the scope of permissible counterparty 
access to data and information maintained by a registered SDR for 
swaps that are executed anonymously on SEFs and DCMs and cleared, 
including a request for interpretive guidance dated February 28, 
2013, from the Managed Funds Association to the Commission's 
Division of Market Oversight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Amendment to 17 CFR 49.17(f)(2)

    To effect the clarification described above, the Commission is 
amending Sec.  49.17(f)(2) by adding language providing that the data 
and information maintained by the registered swap data repository that 
may be accessed by either counterparty to a particular swap shall not 
include the identity or the legal entity identifier (as such term is 
used in 17 CFR part 45) of the other counterparty to the swap, or the 
other counterparty's clearing member for the swap, if the swap is 
executed anonymously on a swap execution facility or designated 
contract market, and cleared in accordance with Commission regulations 
1.74, 23.610, and 37.12(b)(7).

III. Request for Comment on Interim Final Rule

    The Commission invites comments on this interim final rule. 
Comments must be submitted to the Commission on or before the date that 
is 30 days after the date of publication of the interim final rule in 
the Federal Register. Comments on the interim final rule must be 
submitted pursuant to the instructions provided above.

IV. Related Matters

A. Administrative Procedure Act

    The Administrative Procedure Act (``APA'') \16\ generally requires 
a Federal agency to publish notice of a proposed rulemaking in the 
Federal Register.\17\ This requirement does not apply, however, when an 
agency ``for good cause finds . . . that notice and public procedure 
thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest.'' \18\ Moreover, while the APA generally requires that an 
agency publish an adopted rule in the Federal Register 30 days before 
it becomes effective, this requirement does not apply if the agency 
finds good cause to make the rule effective sooner.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 5 U.S.C. 553 et seq.
    \17\ See 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \18\ See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    \19\ See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In this interim final rulemaking the Commission is, by amendment, 
clarifying the scope of Sec.  49.17(f)(2), by making explicit a 
limitation on counterparty access to SDR data and information that 
applies by virtue of CEA section 21(c)(6). In the absence of such a 
clarifying amendment that same limitation would continue to apply 
implicitly, since the scope of Sec.  49.17(f)(2) cannot exceed the 
bounds of statutory privacy requirements. Because the interim final 
rule does not alter in any way substantive rights and obligations under 
Sec.  49.17(f)(2)--the scope of this regulatory provision is limited in 
precisely the same manner by CEA section 21(c)(6), regardless of 
whether such limitation is implicit, as it is currently, or made 
explicit through the clarifying amendment effected by this interim 
final rule--the advance notice and public procedure that is generally 
required pursuant to the APA is not necessary in the present instance. 
For good cause, the Commission therefore finds that publication of a 
notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register is unnecessary. 
Similarly, since the interim final rule simply makes explicit a 
limitation on the scope of counterparty access to SDR data and 
information that already applies by operation of statute, the 
Commission, for good cause, finds that no transitional period, after 
publication in the Federal Register, is necessary before the amendment 
to Sec.  49.17(f)(2) made by this interim final rule becomes effective. 
Accordingly, this interim final rule shall be effective immediately 
upon publication in the Federal Register.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'') \20\ imposes certain 
requirements on Federal agencies in connection with their conducting or 
sponsoring any collection of information as defined by the PRA. Under 
the PRA, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid control number from the Office of Management and 
Budget (``OMB'').\21\ Since this interim final rule serves to clarify, 
by amendment, the scope of an already existing regulatory provision, 
the Commission has determined that the interim final rule will not 
impose any new information collection requirements that require 
approval of OMB under the PRA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
    \21\ See 44 U.S.C. 3507.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (``RFA'') requires that Federal 
agencies consider whether the rules that they issue will have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
and, if so, to provide a regulatory flexibility analysis respecting the 
impact.\22\ By clarifying the scope of Sec.  49.17(f)(2), this interim 
final rule serves to clarify existing obligations and responsibilities 
of registered SDRs, which the Commission has previously, in connection 
with its swap data recordkeeping and reporting rules, determined are 
not small entities.\23\ Therefore, the interim final rule will not have 
a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.
    \23\ See 77 FR 2170-2171.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Cost Benefit Considerations

    Section 15(a) of the CEA requires the Commission to consider the 
costs and benefits of its actions before promulgating a regulation 
under the CEA or issuing certain orders. Section 15(a) further 
specifies that the costs and benefits shall be evaluated in light of 
five broad areas of market and public concern: (1) Protection of market 
participants and the public; (2) efficiency, competitiveness, and

[[Page 16675]]

financial integrity of futures markets; (3) price discovery; (4) sound 
risk management practices; and (5) other public interest 
considerations.\24\ The Commission considers the costs and benefits 
resulting from its discretionary determinations with respect to the 
section 15(a) factors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ CEA section 15(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This interim final rule does not represent an exercise of 
Commission discretion that alters substantive rights and obligations 
imposed by statute and Commission rule currently. As discussed earlier, 
the interim final rule merely clarifies the existing scope of Sec.  
49.17(f)(2) by making explicit a statutory limitation that, absent this 
clarification, applies implicitly: The exception to the general 
prohibition against market participant access to SDR data does not 
sanction practices that contravene the statutory privacy requirements 
of CEA section 21(c)(6). As such, substantively, the interim final rule 
poses no incremental costs or benefits relative to regulatory 
requirements that are now operative.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ Complying with these existing requirements may, however, 
entail some expenditure. For example, to comply with CEA section 
21(c)(6) registered SDRs may incur certain costs associated with 
programming their systems to recognize swaps that are executed 
anonymously on a SEF or a DCM and cleared, as described herein, and 
to prevent a counterparty's access to the identity and LEI of the 
other counterparty to such a swap, and such counterparty's clearing 
member for the swap.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This interim final rule is not void of any discretionary element, 
however. By issuing the interim final rule, the Commission is 
exercising its discretion to clarify, by amendment, the existing scope 
of Sec.  49.17(f)(2), rather than leaving this regulatory provision in 
its current form. By making explicit a limitation on the scope of Sec.  
49.17(f)(2) that exists by virtue of the statutory privacy requirements 
of CEA section 21(c)(6), the interim final rule addresses a potential 
source of uncertainty for market participants,\26\ and, in so doing, 
promotes the public interests in market integrity and, more generally, 
in regulatory clarity and certainty. Conversely, the Commission sees no 
costs resultant from this discretionary act of clarification.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ See note 15, supra.
    \27\ The Commission recognizes that if, to date, any market 
participant has not read Sec.  49.17(f)(2) with reference to the 
statutory privacy limitations of CEA section 21(c)(6), the market 
participant may have developed systems and processes that require 
modification to comply with these statutory limitations. In any such 
case, the clarifying amendment effected by this interim final rule 
should alert the market participant to the need for modification. 
Such modification may entail some cost to implement. However, any 
such modification costs would not arise from the Commission's 
exercise of its discretion, in this interim final rule, to clarify 
Sec.  49.17(f)(2) by making explicit an existing statutory 
limitation on the scope of this regulatory provision. Such 
modification costs would be required to achieve statutory compliance 
regardless of whether or not the Commission provided such 
clarification through this interim final rule.
