Regulatory Flexibility Agenda

AGENCY: Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

SUMMARY: The Commodity Futures Trading Commi ssion, in accordance with the

requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, is publishing a semiannual agenda of

significant rules that the Commission expects to propose or promulgate over the next

year. The Commission welcomes comments from small entities and others on the

agenda.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sauntia S. Warfield, Commodity Futures

Trading Commission, 1155 21 st 

# Street NW., Washington, DC 20581, (202) 418-5084,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Regulatory Flexibilit y Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C.

601, et seq

. sets forth a number of requirement s for agency rulemaking. Among other

things, the RFA requires that:

# Semiannually, each agency shall publish in the Federal Register a regulatory

flexibility agenda that shall contain:

(1) A brief description of the subject area of any ru le that the agency expects to

propose or promulgate, which is likely to have a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities;

(2) A summary of the nature of any such rule under consideration for each subject

area listed in the agenda pursuant to paragraph (1), the objectives and legal basis for

the issuance of the rule, and an approximate schedule for completing action on any rule

for which the agency has issued a general notice of proposed rulemaking; and

(3) The name and tel ephone number of an agency official knowledgeable about the

items listed in paragraph (1), 5 U.S.C. 602(a).

The Commission has prepared an agenda of significant rules that it presently

expects may be considered during the course of the next year. These rules may have

some impact on small entities. 1 

# In this regard, section 602( d) of the RF A, 5 U.S.C.

1 

## The Commission published its definition of small entity to be used in connection with rulemaking proceedings on

April 30, 1982 (47 FR 18618). Pursuant to that definition, the Commission is not required to list many of the agenda

items contained in this regulatory flexibility agenda . See 5 U.S.C. 602(a)(1). Moreover, the Commission has

previously certified, pursuant to section 605 of the RFA, 5 U.S.C. 605, that certain items contained in this agenda

will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Accordingly, the listing of a

rule in this regulatory flexibility agenda should not, in any event, be taken as a determination that a rule, when

proposed or promulgated, will in fact require a regulato ry flexibility analysis. However, the Commission hopes that

the publication of an agenda that includes significant rules, regardless of their potential impact on small entities, may

serve the public generally by providing an early and meaningful opportunity to participate in and comment on the

# 602(d), provides: “Nothing in [section 602] precludes an agency from considering or

acting on any matter not included in a regulat ory flexibility agenda or requires an agency

to consider or act on any matter listed in such agenda.”

The Commission’s fall 2011 regulatory flexibility agenda is set forth below.

Issued in Washington, DC, on Oct ober 5, 2011, by the Commission.

Commission also makes available to the public, on a monthl y basis, a calendar and, on a weekly basis, posts an

Title: Identity Theft Red Flag Rules for CFTC Regulated Institutions Under Fair Credit Reporting Act

Abstract: Section 1088 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act contains amendments to section 621 of the Fair Credit Reporting

Act (FCRA). These amendments add the CFTC and the SEC (together referred to as the Agencies) to the list of Federal agencies that are required to

promulgate regulations relating to the development and implementation of identity theft programs under the FCRA. The Agencies' rules implementing section 621

of the FCRA will require financial institutions and creditors that are regulated by either or both of the Agencies to develop and implement written identity theft

programs to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft in connection with the opening of certain accounts or certain existing accounts.

Title: Extra-Territorial Application of Certain Swap Requirements

Abstract: Section 2(i)of the Commodity Exchange Act, which was enacted by section 722(d) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection

"have a direct and significant connection with activities in, or effect on, commerce of the United States," or contravene rules or regulations that the CFTC may

promulgate to prevent evasion. The CFTC is considering proposing rules to determine under what circumstances, certain foreign swap-related activities would

meet that standard.

Title: Core Principles and Other Requirements for Designated Contract Markets

Abstract: Pursuant to title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

(Commission or CFTC) proposes to issue rules to implement section 735 of the Dodd-Frank Act. In relevant part, section 735 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends section 5 of the

Commodity Exchange Act (Act) pertaining to the designation and operation of contract markets (DCMs). Among other changes, section 735 of the Dodd-Frank Act: (i) Eliminates

the eight pre-existing Designation Criteria contained in former section 5(b) of the Act and incorporates these criteria into the various DCM core principles in section 5(d); and (ii)

adds five additional DCM core principles. In addition to revising the DCM core principles, section 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act amends section 2(h)(8) of the Act to require that all

swaps subject to clearing must be executed on either a DCM or a Swap Execution Facility (SEF), except where the swap is not made available to trade on any DCM or SEF.

The proposed rules, guidance and acceptable practices proposed in this rulemaking implement the 23 core principles that boards of trade must now comply with as a condition

of obtaining and maintaining designation as a contract market, and incorporate the listing, trading and execution of swaps on designated contract markets. This rulemaking

proposes amendments to parts 1, 16 and 38 of the Commission's regulations to implement the amendments to the Act relevant to designated contract markets.

Title: End-User Clearing Exception

Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) contains a general requirement that swaps that are

subject to a clearing mandate must be submitted for clearing to a registered derivatives clearing organization. The Dodd-Frank Act also provides that users of

swaps that are not financial entities (referred to as end users) and that use swaps to hedge or mitigate "commercial risk" may claim an exception from the

general clearing requirement if the end user notifies the CFTC of how the end user generally meets its financial obligations associated with entering into swaps

that are not cleared. The CFTC has proposed a rule stating the manner in which end users are to submit such notification, and defining the meaning of the term

"commercial risk" in this context.

Title: Position Limits for Derivatives

Abstract: The Commission has been mandated by Congress (in the Dodd-Frank Act) to impose position limits, on an aggregate basis, on futures and swaps

relating to exempt in order to: (a) Diminish, eliminate, or prevent excessive speculation; (b) deter and prevent market manipulation, squeezes, and corners; (c)

ensure sufficient market liquidity for bona fide hedgers; and (d) ensure that the price discovery function of an underlying market is not disrupted. Given the

potential effects of position limits on various market participants, the Commission has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit and consider the public's

comments in advance of issuing final rules.

Title: Core Principles and Other Requirements for Swap Execution Facilities

Abstract: Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) amended the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) to establish a

comprehensive new regulatory framework for the execution of swaps by: (i) Creating a definition for swap execution facilities (SEFs) under section 721 of the Dodd-Frank Act,

which added new CEA section 1a(50); (ii) providing, though the SEF definition, a market for the execution of swaps on trading systems or platforms that enable eligible contract

participants to trade on a multilateral basis; (iii) creating an execution requirement under section 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA section 2(h)(8); and (iv)

creating registration and core principle requirements for SEFs under section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which added new CEA section 5h. Pursuant to title VII of the DoddFrank Act, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) has proposed rules to implement sections 721, 723 and 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Commission's

proposal implements the registration process for each applicant seeking registration as a SEF as well as the fifteen core principles and other requirements that each applicant

must comply with as a condition of obtaining and maintaining its registration. The proposal would also replace current part 37 of the Commission's regulations, at present

addressing rules for Derivatives Transaction Execution Facilities, with rules to implement the amendments to the CEA relevant to SEFs.

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping for Post-Enactment Swaps

Abstract: The CFTC is publishing for comment an interim final rule to implement new statutory provisions introduced by title VII, section 723 of the Dodd-Frank

Act. Section 723 amends section 2 of the CEA by adding new section 2(h)(5), which directs that rules adopted by the Commission under this section shall

provide for the reporting of "transition" swaps-e.g. those swaps entered into after the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act and prior to the effective date of

that statute. The Commission expects shortly to issue a notice for comment about permanent, substantive rules under CEA section 2(h)(5) to govern the

reporting of these post-enactment swaps. The purpose of the interim final rule is to alert counterparties that these swaps may be subject to reporting rules and to

ensure the preservation of data relating to those swaps pending implementation of such rules.

Organization (DCO) Core Principles A (Compliance), H (Rule Enforcement), N (Antitrust Considerations), and R (Legal Risk), as well as DCO chief compliance

Title: Derivatives Clearing Organizations: Requirements for Processing, Clearing, and Transfer of Customer Positions

Abstract: Proposed regulations would establish a time frame for submission of contracts, agreements, and transactions to a derivatives clearing organization for

clearing, and standards for prompt and efficient processing by a derivatives clearing organization. Proposed regulations would also require coordination between

derivatives clearing organizations and swap execution facilities or designated contract markets in developing rules and procedures to facilitate clearing. A

derivatives clearing organization, upon customer request, would also be required to transfer customer positions and related funds from one clearing member of

the derivatives clearing organization to another, without requiring the close-out and re-booking of the positions.

Title: Adaptation of Regulations to Incorporate Swaps

Abstract: The Dodd -Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act established a comprehensive new statutory framework for swaps and securitybased swaps. The Dodd-Frank Act repeals some sections of the Commodity Exchange Act, amends others and adds a number of new provisions. The DFA also

requires the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to promulgate a number of rules to implement the new framework. The Commission has proposed

numerous rules to satisfy its obligations under the DFA. Because the Dodd-Frank Act effects so many changes to the existing statutory and regulatory

frameworks, the proposed rules would make a number of conforming changes to the CFTC's regulations to more fully integrate them with the new statutory and

regulatory framework.
