COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING 

COMMISSION 

Amended Order Designating the 

Provider of Legal Entity Identifiers to 

Be Used in Recordkeeping and Swap 

Data Reporting Pursuant to the 

Commission’s Regulations 

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading 

Commission. 

ACTION: Order. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued 

an Amended Order expanding, through 

mutual acceptance by international 

regulators, the list of Legal Entity 

Identifiers (LEIs) that can be used by 

registered entities and swap 

counterparties in complying with 

CFTC’s swap data reporting regulations 

once the conditions provided in the 

Amended Order are fulfilled. The 

Amended Order revises CFTC’s order of 

July 23, 2012, which directed all 

registered entities and swap 

counterparties required by CFTC rules 

to use LEIs in swap recordkeeping and 

swap data reporting to use LEIs 

provided by DTCC–SWIFT, the utility 

designated by the CFTC as the provider 

of LEIs until establishment of the global 

LEI system.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

23, 2012, the Commodity Futures 

Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

issued an order (‘‘Order’’) 1 pursuant to 

section 21(b) of the Commodity 

Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’) and 

to part 45 of the Commission’s 

regulations, designating DTCC–SWIFT

as the provider of Legal Entity 

Identifiers (‘‘LEIs’’), to be known as 

CFTC Interim Compliant Identifiers 

(‘‘CICIs’’) until establishment of the 

global LEI system or further action by 

the Commission, to be used in 

recordkeeping and swap data reporting 

pursuant to parts 45 and 46 of the 

Commission’s regulations. The Order 

directed registered entities and swap 

counterparties subject to the 

Commission’s jurisdiction to use CICIs 

provided by DTCC–SWIFT to comply 

with the LEI requirements of parts 45 

and 46 of the Commission’s regulations. 

As stated in the preamble to the 

Commission’s Adopting Release for part 

45: 

The Commission recognizes that optimum 

effectiveness of LEIs as a tool for achieving 

the systemic risk mitigation, transparency, 

and market protection goals of the DoddFrank Act—goals shared by financial 

regulators world-wide—would come from 

creation of a global LEI, on an international 

basis, that is capable of becoming the single 

international standard for unique 

identification of legal entities across the 

world financial sector.2

As recognized in the Order and in part 

45 of the Commission’s regulations, the 

Commission is participating in an 

international process to establish a 

global LEI system. Since the Order was 

issued, the international process has 

moved forward significantly, and 

establishment of the global LEI system 

has begun. These developments are 

summarized below. 

• Regulatory oversight for the global 

LEI system is now provided by an 

international Regulatory Oversight 

Committee (‘‘ROC’’), established in 

January 2013. The Commission is a 

charter member of the ROC and of its 

Executive Committee. 

• The ROC has determined that the 

global LEI system will be federated in 

nature, and will include a private sector 

Central Operating Unit (‘‘COU’’) and 

multiple Local Operating Units 

(‘‘LOUs’’). Under the auspices of the 

ROC, a foundation is being established 

in Switzerland to provide the COU. The 

COU will coordinate the system’s 

multiple LOUs, which will issue LEIs. 

• As part of the establishment of the 

global LEI system under the auspices of 

the ROC, seven identifier-issuing 

utilities or pre-LOUs, including the CICI 

Utility operated by DTCC–SWIFT and 

designated in the Order, have each been 

sponsored to the ROC by a ROC member 

authority that exercises oversight of the 

LOU, and have been given an identifier 

prefix for use in ensuring the 

uniqueness of all identifiers issued by 

any LOU or pre-LOU. A pre-LOU 

located in Germany, operated by WM 

Datenservice and sponsored to the ROC 

by Bafin, Germany’s Federal Financial 

Supervisory Authority, has now begun 

issuing identifiers known as General 

Entity Identifiers (‘‘GEIs’’), which the 

Commission anticipates will become 

LEIs in the global LEI system. The 

Commission anticipates that, in the next 

few months, other pre-LOUs sponsored 

to the ROC by a ROC member with 

oversight authority may also start 

issuing identifiers that will become LEIs 

in the global system. 

• As stated in the Order, the 

Commission anticipates that the CICI 

Utility operated by DTCC–SWIFT and 

designated in the Order will become one 

of the LOUs in the global system, and 

that CICIs will become LEIs in the global 

system. 

The Commission understands that 

OTC derivatives data reporting in the 

European Union is scheduled to begin 

in September 2013, pursuant to 

reporting requirements under the 

European Market Infrastructure 

Regulation (‘‘EMIR’’) issued by the 

European Securities and Markets 

Authority (‘‘ESMA’’). 

Once swap data reporting is required 

under both CFTC rules and the rules of 

another jurisdiction or jurisdictions, as 

will be the case when ESMA’s rules take 

effect, cooperation by the authorities in 

question with respect to the LEIs used 

in such reporting will be required to 

preserve the essential Principle of 

Uniqueness for LEIs, already adopted by 

the ROC and mandated by section 

45.6(b)(1) of the Commission’s 

regulations. Since the identifiers issued 

by pre-LOUs recognized by the ROC, 

including WM Datenservice, the CICI 

Utility, and eventually others, will 

become LEIs in the global LEI system, 

mutual acceptance, by each ROC 

member that mandates use of LEIs in 

data reporting, of the identifiers issued 

by each ROC-certified pre-LOU, is the 

only way to avoid violation of the 

Uniqueness Principle resulting from 

issuance of multiple LEIs to a single 

entity. 

One example of this problem would 

be the case of a German hedge fund that 

obtains an identifier from WM 

Datenservice, and later becomes a 

counterparty to a swap with a U.S. swap 

dealer that must be reported to a swap 

data repository under CFTC rules. If the 

CFTC does not permit the WM 

Datenservice identifier of the hedge 

fund to be reported as part of the 

primary economic terms data reported 

for that swap, but requires that a CICI 

be reported for the hedge fund, it would 

be necessary for the hedge fund to 

obtain a CICI in addition to its WM 

Datenservice identifier. 

To address this issue, and facilitate 

the ongoing establishment of the global 

LEI system, the Chair and Vice Chairs of 

the ROC have asked the Commission 

and ESMA to each move as promptly as 

possible to take whatever action is 

necessary to provide for mutual 

acceptance, for use in data reporting 

required by CFTC rules or ESMA rules, 

of the pre-LEIs issued by either the CICI 

Utility or WM Datenservice. The request 

notes that the ROC previously has 

publicly identified, as minimum 

requirements for global acceptance of 

pre-LEIs issued by a pre-LOU, both 

issuance by the pre-LOU of pre-LEIs that 

comply with ISO Standard 17442 Legal 

Entity Identifier, and compliance by the 

pre-LOU with the existing principles for 

the global LEI system and the existing 

standards for pre-LOUs adopted by the 

ROC. The Chair and Vice Chairs also 

informed the Commission that, at the 

ROC’s June 2013 meeting in Mexico 

City, the ROC anticipates finalizing a 

framework for global acceptance of preLEIs assigned by a pre-LOU that is 

sponsored by a ROC member who 

assures the ROC that the pre-LOU meets 

specified principles regarding 

compliance with the LEI standard, 

technical capacity, and agreement to 

adhere to ROC high level principles for 

the system. The Commission 

understands that upon such action by 

the ROC, such globally accepted preLEIs will henceforth be known as LEIs. 

Bafin has notified the Commission, 

and Commission staff have verified, on 

the basis of a live demonstration 

provided by WM Datenservice to 

Commission staff and to other ROC 

members including Bafin, and of a 

Memorandum of Understanding 

adopted by DTCC–SWIFT and WM 

Datenservice to provide for cooperation 

and coordination between them with 

respect to adherence to the principles 

adopted by the ROC for the global LEI 

system, that: (1) The GEIs issued by WM 

Datenservice comply with ISO Standard 

17442 Legal Entity Identifier; and (2) 

WM Datenservice complies with the 

existing principles for the global LEI 

system and the existing standards for 

pre-LOUs adopted by the ROC. 

The Commission anticipates, on the 

basis of discussions between members 

of the ROC including representatives of 

ESMA and of the Commission, that 

ESMA will, on a timely basis, take the 

action necessary to provide for mutual 

acceptance by ESMA and the CFTC of 

both the pre-LEIs (now known as CICIs) 

issued by DTCC–SWIFT and the preLEIs (now known as GEIs) issued by 

WM Datenservice, for data reporting 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
38956 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 125 / Friday, June 28, 2013 / Notices 

required under either Commission 

regulations or ESMA’s EMIR 

regulations. 

In light of the foregoing, it is ordered, 

pursuant to section 21(b) of the 

Commodity Exchange Act and section 

45.6 of the Commission’s regulations, 

that paragraph 2 of the Order is 

amended by striking the existing 

paragraph 2 and inserting the following: 

‘‘2. To comply with the legal entity 

identifier requirements of parts 45 and 

46 of the Commission’s regulations: 

a. Effective immediately upon (1) 

issuance of this Amended Order, and (2) 

publication on the Commission’s Web 

site by the Commission’s Chief 

Information Officer of a notice that 

ESMA has informed the Commission 

that LEIs issued by DTCC–SWIFT are 

accepted for data reporting under 

ESMA’s EMIR regulations, registered 

entities and swap counterparties subject 

to the Commission’s jurisdiction shall 

use either LEIs (currently known as 

CFTC Interim Compliant Identifiers or 

CICIs) provided by DTCC–SWIFT, or 

LEIs (currently known as General Entity 

Identifiers or GEIs) provided by WM 

Datenservice. Registered entities and 

swap counterparties may contact DTCC– 

SWIFT at https://www.ciciutility.org, 

and may contact WM Datenservice at 

https://www.geiportal.org. 

b. Prior to adoption by the ROC of 

standards for approval of pre-LOUs and 

the LEIs issued by approved pre-LOUs 

as globally acceptable, registered 

entities and swap counterparties subject 

to the Commission’s jurisdiction may 

use LEIs provided by another pre-LOU 

that has been issued an identifier prefix 

by the ROC and is sponsored as a preLOU by a member of the ROC, in lieu 

of using LEIs provided by DTCC–SWIFT 

or WM Datenservice, but may do so only 

after the Commission’s Chief 

Information Officer publishes on the 

Commission’s Web site a notice that: (1) 

Commission staff have verified, on the 

basis of a demonstration provided to 

Commission staff by the pre-LOU, and 

the ROC member sponsoring the preLOU has notified the Commission, that 

the pre-LOU issues LEIs that are 

compliant with ISO Standard 17442 

Legal Entity Identifier, and that the preLOU complies with the existing 

principles for the global LEI system and 

the existing standards for pre-LOUs 

adopted by the ROC; and that (2) LEIs 

issued by DTCC–SWIFT are accepted for 

data reporting under the law of any 

jurisdiction that accepts the LEIs issued 

by the pre-LOU for data reporting. 

c. After the ROC has adopted 

standards for approval of pre-LOUs and 

the LEIs issued by them as globally 

acceptable, and has also approved 

DTCC–SWIFT as a globally acceptable 

pre-LOU and the LEIs issued by DTCC– 

SWIFT as globally acceptable LEIs, 

registered entities and swap 

counterparties subject to the 

Commission’s jurisdiction may use LEIs 

provided by DTCC–SWIFT, WM 

Datenservice, or any other pre-LOU 

approved by the ROC as globally 

acceptable and as issuing globally 

acceptable LEIs. Pursuant to this 

paragraph, use of LEIs from pre-LOUs 

other than DTCC–SWIFT or WM 

Datenservice may commence only after 

the Commission’s Chief Information 

Officer publishes on the Commission’s 

Web site a notice that such LEIs and 

such LOUs have been approved by the 

ROC as globally acceptable. 

d. Effective immediately upon ROC 

approval of the LEIs (currently known 

as CICIs) issued by DTCC–SWIFT as 

globally acceptable, the LEIs issued by 

DTCC–SWIFT shall be known as LEIs 

and not as CICIs. For this purpose, CICIs 

previously issued by DTCC–SWIFT 

shall be named and referred to as LEIs, 

but shall not be reissued. 

e. As provided in section 45.6(b)(1) of 

the Commission’s regulations, registered 

entities and swap counterparties subject 

to the Commission’s jurisdiction shall 

be identified in all swap recordkeeping 

and swap data reporting by a single LEI.
