        such swaps during any one day in an amount equal to or in 
        excess of such amount as shall be fixed from time to time by 
        the Commission; and
            ``(2) such person shall directly or indirectly have or 
        obtain a position in such swaps equal to or in excess of such 
        amount as shall be fixed from time to time by the Commission,
unless such person files or causes to be filed with the properly 
designated officer of the Commission such reports regarding any 
transactions or positions described in paragraphs (1) and (2) as the 
Commission may by rule or regulation require and unless, in accordance 
with the rules and regulations of the Commission, such person shall 
keep books and records of all such swaps and any transactions and 
positions in any related commodity traded on or subject to the rules of 
any board of trade, and of cash or spot transactions in, inventories 
of, and purchase and sale commitments of, such a commodity.
    ``(b) Such books and records shall show complete details concerning 
all transactions and positions as the Commission may by rule or 
regulation prescribe.
    ``(c) Such books and records shall be open at all times to 
inspection and examination by any representative of the Commission.
    ``(d) For the purpose of this subsection, the swaps, futures and 
cash or spot transactions and positions of any person shall include 
such transactions and positions of any persons directly or indirectly 
controlled by such person.
    ``(e) In making a determination whether a swap performs or affects 
a significant price discovery function with respect to regulated 
markets, the Commission shall consider the factors set forth in section 
4a(a)(3).''.

SEC. 133. AUTHORITY TO BAN ABUSIVE SWAPS.

    The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and 
Exchange Commission may jointly, by rule or order, prohibit 
transactions in any swap (as defined in section 1a(35) of the Commodity 
Exchange Act) or security-based swap (as defined in section 1a(38) of 
such Act) which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the 
Securities Exchange Commission find would be detrimental to the 
stability of a financial market or of participants in a financial 
market.

SEC. 134. INTERNATIONAL HARMONIZATION.

    In order to promote effective and consistent global regulation of 
swaps, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures 
Trading Commission, the Prudential Regulators (as defined in section 
1a(43) of the Commodity Exchange Act), the financial stability 
regulator, and the Office of Derivatives Supervision shall consult and 
coordinate with foreign regulatory authorities on the establishment of 
consistent international standards with respect to the regulation of 
swaps, and may agree to such information-sharing arrangements as may be 
deemed to be necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the 
protection of investors and swap counterparties.

SEC. 135. AUTHORITY TO BAN ACCESS TO THE UNITED STATES FINANCIAL 
              SYSTEM.

    The Secretary of the Treasury may prohibit any entity domiciled in 
a foreign country that regulates swaps (as defined in section 1a(35) of 
the Commodity Exchange Act) or security-based swaps (as defined in 
section 1a(38) of such Act) in a manner which the Secretary of the 
Treasury finds undermines the stability of a financial market, from 
participating in such financial activities in the United States as the 
Secretary deems appropriate.

SEC. 136. OTHER AUTHORITY.

    Unless otherwise provided by its terms, this title does not divest 
any appropriate Federal banking agency, the Commission, the Securities 
and Exchange Commission, or other Federal or State agency, of any 
authority derived from any other applicable law.

SEC. 137. ANTITRUST.

    Nothing in the amendments made by this title shall be construed to 
modify, impair, or supersede the operation of any of the antitrust 
laws. For purposes of this subtitle, the term ``antitrust laws'' has 
the same meaning given such term in subsection (a) of the first section 
of the Clayton Act, except that such term includes section 5 of the 
Federal Trade Commission Act to the extent that such section 5 applies 
to unfair methods of competition.

SEC. 138. EFFECTIVE DATE.

    This subtitle is effective 180 days after the date of enactment.

                required to be cleared consistent with the public

        Commodities Futures Trading Commission shall have authority to 
        prescribe rules under this section, or issue interpretations of 
        such rules, as necessary to prevent evasions of this Act. Any 
        such rules or interpretations of rules shall be prescribed and

                be reported to either a security-based swap repository 
                described in section 13(n) or, if there is no 
                repository that would accept the security-based swap,

                which counterparty will report such swap as required by 
                subparagraph (A). In any security-based swap where only 
                one counterparty is a swap dealer, the swap dealer

        corresponding requirements for security-based swaps accepted by 
        security-based swap repositories and security-based swaps 
        traded on alternative swap execution facilities. The Commission 
        shall share such information, upon request, with the Board, the

the swap dealer that is not submitted for clearing to a derivatives 
clearing agency, the swap dealer shall segregate the funds or other 
property for the benefit of the counterparty, and maintain the funds or 
other property in an account which is carried by a third-party 
custodian and designated as a segregated account for the counterparty, 
in accordance with such rules and regulations as the Commission or

title shall recover, through satisfaction of judgment in one or more

securities commission (or any agency or officer performing like 
functions) of any State over any security or any person insofar as it 
does not conflict with the provisions of this title or the rules and 
regulations thereunder. No State law which prohibits or regulates the

of `bucket shops' or other similar or related activities, shall 
invalidate (1) any put, call, straddle, option, privilege, or other 
security subject to this title (except a security-based swap agreement 
and any security that has a pari-mutuel payout or otherwise is 
determined by the Commission, acting by rule, regulation, or order, to 
be appropriately subject to such laws), or apply to any activity which

settlement, or closeout of any such security, (2) any security-based 
swap between eligible contract participants, or (3) any security-based 
swap effected on a national securities exchange registered pursuant to

sentence shall not be construed as limiting any State antifraud law of 
general applicability.''.

        an underwriter, shall constitute a contract for sale of, sale 
        of, offer for sale, or offer to sell such securities,''; and
