(8) Any other factor that the

consider relevant. 

(c) Economically equivalent swap. (1) 

Upon a determination that a swap is 

available to trade, all other designated 

contract markets and swap execution 

facilities listing or offering for trading 

such swap and/or any economically 

equivalent swap, shall make those 

swaps available to trade for purposes of 

Section 2(h)(8) of the Commodity 

Exchange Act. 

(2) For purposes of this section, the

Appendices to Process for a Designated 

Contract Market or Swap Execution 

Facility To Make a Swap Available To 

Trade—Commissioners Voting 

Summary and Statements of 

Commissioners 

Appendix 1—Commissioners Voting 

Summary 

On this matter, Chairman Gensler and 

Commissioners Chilton, O’Malia and Wetjen 

voted in the affirmative; Commissioner 

Sommers voted in the negative. 

Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman 

Gary Gensler 

I support the proposed rule to implement 

a process for designated contract markets 

(DCMs) and swap execution facilities (SEFs) 

to make a swap ‘‘available to trade.’’ The 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act requires that swaps 

subject to the clearing requirement be traded 

on a DCM or SEF, unless no DCM or SEF 

makes the swap available to trade or the 

swap transaction is subject to the end-user 

exception. This proposal will bring 

transparency to the process for making a 

swap available to trade on a DCM or SEF. It 

also will provide appropriate oversight of the 

process through Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission review.
