98See Disclosure Document, Ex. D6. 

99See also Rulebook, Ex. HH, sec. 6.3 (‘‘As part 

of the SDR Services, DDR receives and collects 

swap and security-based swap data in the ordinary 

course of its business from various Market 

Participants and registered entities for the purpose 

of maintaining a centralized recordkeeping facility 

for swaps and security-based swaps. The collection 

and maintenance of this data is designed to enhance 

the transparency, promote standardization and 

reduce systemic risk by making this data available 

to regulators and the public pursuant to Applicable 

Law. Therefore, access to data maintained by DDR 

to Market Participants is generally prohibited, 

except to either counterparty to that particular swap 

or security-based swap, such counterparty’s 

authorized third party service providers or other 

parties specifically authorized by the User or 

counterparty pursuant to Rule 1.3 or 6.4, or to other 

regulators or entities in accordance with Rule 6.5 

below. DDR shall not, as a condition of the 

reporting of swap or security-based swap 

transaction data, require a Reporting Party to 

consent to the use of reported data for commercial 

or business purposes. DDR shall not make 

commercial use of real-time swap data prior to its 

public dissemination.’’). 

100See id. 

101See supra note 25 and accompanying text. 

102However, the DDR application includes 

provisions explaining how DDR would require 

users to identify SBS, as required by Rule 901(c)(1) 

of Regulation SBSR. See Exhibit HH2, sec. 4.4 

(regarding Unique Product Identifiers). The DDR 

application also includes a provision explaining 

how DDR would comply with a condition to the noaction statement included in the ANE Adopting 

Release. See Exhibit GG2, sec. 15.2.3.2 (providing, 

in the case of a credit security-based swap, for 

dissemination of a capped notional size of $5 

million if the true notional size of the transaction 

is $5 million or greater). 

F. Disclosure 

DDR publishes a disclosure document 

to provide a summary of information 

regarding its service offerings and the 

SBS data it maintains.98 Specifically, 

the disclosure document sets forth a 

description of the following: (i) A 

description of access to services offered 

and swap data maintained; (ii) criteria 

for those seeking to connect to or link 

with its SDR; (iii) criteria for those 

seeking to connect to or link with DDR 

systems; (iv) policies and procedures 

with respect to DDR systems safeguards; 

(v) policies and procedures related to 

privacy and confidentiality; (vi) policies 

and procedures regarding its noncommercial and commercial use of 

transaction data; 99 (vii) procedures for 

dispute resolution; (viii) fees, rates, dues 

and other charges; and (ix) governance 

arrangements.100

G. Regulatory Reporting and Public 

Dissemination 

As a registered SDR, DDR would carry 

out an important role in the regulatory 

reporting and public dissemination of 

SBS transactions. As noted above, DDR 

has stated that it intends to rely on the 

no-action statement included in the 

ANE Adopting Release for the period set 

forth in the ANE Adopting Release with 

respect to any SBS asset class or classes 

for which it intends to accept 

transaction reports.101 Therefore, DDR 

does not need to include materials in its 

application explaining how it would 

comply with the provisions of the SBS 

Reporting Rules noted in the no-action 

statement.102 Instead, DDR may rely on 

its discussion about how it complies 

with comparable CFTC requirements 

pertaining to regulatory reporting and 

public dissemination of swap 

transactions. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning DDR’s Form SDR, 

including whether DDR has satisfied the 

requirements for registration as an SDR 

and as a SIP. Commenters are requested, 

to the extent possible, to provide 

empirical data and other factual support 

for their views. Comments may be

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

[Docket No. FD 36476] 

RYAL, LLC—Modified Certificate of 

Public Convenience and Necessity 

RYAL, LLC (RYAL), a noncarrier, has 

filed a notice for a modified certificate 

of public convenience and necessity 

under 49 CFR part 1150 subpart C— 

Modified Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity, for RYAL to 

lease and operate over an approximately 

26-mile rail line owned by the Port of 

Royal Slope (the Port), a Washington 

State municipal corporation, which (1) 

originates at milepost 1989.06, near 

Othello, Adams County, Wash., and 

continues west for 20.44 miles to 

milepost 2009, at Royal City Junction, 

Grant County, Wash.; and (2) proceeds 

north a distance of 5.2 miles, 

terminating at an industrial siding at 

milepost 5.2 near Royal City, Grant 

County, Wash. (the Line).1

RYAL states that the Line was 

authorized for abandonment by a 

decision of the Interstate Commerce 

Commission in Docket No. AB 7 (SubNo. 86) served on January 30, 1980, but 

the abandonment was not 

consummated. According to RYAL, the 

Line was sold to the Port in 1982 for 

continued rail service 2 and was most 

recently leased to WRL, LLC (WRL), 

pursuant to a modified rail certificate. 

(Notice 1, 3–4.) See WRL, LLC— 

Modified Rail Certificate of Pub. 

Convenience & Necessity—Adams & 

Grant Cntys., Wash., FD 36002 (STB 

served June 3, 2016). 

According to the notice, RYAL and 

the Port have entered into an Operating 

Lease Agreement, dated December 17, 

2020. Furthermore, RYAL states that the 

Port has agreed to accept RYAL’s 

assumption of WRL’s lease, to be 

effective upon the renewal of the lease 

on February 12, 2021. (Notice 4.) 

The Line qualifies for a modified 

certificate of public convenience and 

necessity. See Common Carrier Status of 

States, State Agencies & 

Instrumentalities & Pol. Subdivs., FD 

28990F (ICC served July 16, 1981); 49 

CFR 1150.22. RYAL states that no 

subsidy is involved and that there will 

be no preconditions that shippers must 

meet to receive service. (Notice 5.) 

RYAL’s notice also includes a certificate 

of liability insurance coverage.3 (Notice 

Ex. D.) 

This notice will be served on the 

Association of American Railroads (Car 

Service Division), as agent for all 

railroads subscribing to the car-service 

and car-hire agreement, at 425 Third 

Street SW, Suite 1000, Washington, DC
