I. Overview

On July 22, 2011, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“Commission” or “CFTC”) published large trader reporting rules for 

physical commodity swaps and swaptions (76 FR 43851). The reporting rules became effective on September 20, 2011 and are codified in 

new Part 20 of the Commission’s regulations. Section 20.3 of the reporting rules requires daily reports from clearing organizations. Section 

20.4 of the reporting rules requires daily reports from clearing members and swap dealers. Clearing members that are required to provide § 

20.4 reports are those entities that are authorized by a clearing organization to clear one or more paired swaps as that term is defined in § 20.1 

and as described in this Guidebook (regardless of whether the entity actually does clear such swaps). Reporting entities are required to report 

inter-affiliate transactions under Part 20 if they are separate legal entities. 

Notably, § 20.1 defines a swaption as an option to enter into a swap or a swap that is an option. Therefore, both options to enter into swaps 

and swaps that are options may be reportable as paired swaps under Part 20. Swaps that come within the definition of a paired swap, as that 

term is defined in § 20.1 and as described in this Guidebook, solely by being linked to any Brent Crude Oil Commodity Reference Price

(“CRP”), are not required to, but may voluntarily, be reported to the Commission until further notified by the Division. 

Pursuant to §§ 20.7 and 20.8, this Guidebook in part establishes the form and manner of reporting and submitting information to the 

Commission. On September 16, 2011, the Director of the Division of Market Oversight (“DMO” or “Division”), via a letter issued under § 

20.10(c), determined to relieve clearing organizations and clearing members as a class from the reporting requirements of §§ 20.3 and 20.4 

until November 21, 2011 for cleared swaps, and January 20, 2012 for uncleared swaps. 

On November 18, 2011, the Division issued a second letter under §§ 20.10(c) to establish a safe harbor for less than fully compliant reporting 

under §§ 20.3 and 20.4 until March 20, 2012. The safe harbor allowed reporting parties to provide less than fully compliant reports to the 

Commission in an interim text-based format to facilitate the transition to fully compliant XML-based reporting under part 20 by March 20, 

2012. The safe harbor for reporting parties was conditioned on the submission of month-end open interest reports to the Commission for 

September 2011 through February 2012 as prescribed in this Guidebook. The safe harbor was also conditioned on a reporting party’s 

submission of a an e-mail to the Division at submissions@cftc.gov and SwapsLTR@cftc.gov, no later than 30 calendar days following initial 

reporting, describing with specificity: (1) ways in which the submission is not compliant with the data field requirements of §§ 20.3 or 20.4, 

(2) the arrangements that are being made for coming into compliance with such requirements and (3) the anticipated date of full compliance 

with the requirements of part 20, including the submission of reports in an XML-based format.

On March 20, 2012, in light of concerns from market participants that they would not be fully compliant by the March 20 deadline, the 

Division issued a letter establishing temporary and conditional no-action relief for less than fully compliant reporting under Part 20 until July 

2, 2012. This no-action relief is subject to the same conditions as the safe harbor relief under § 20.10(c): a good-faith attempt at compliance, 

submission of month-end open interest reports that would allow the Commission to set position limits, and the submission of an e-mail to the 

Division as described above. 
6/1/2012, Page 6

Final XML-based file formats for Part 20 reports include the FpML Exposure Report as described in FpML Working draft 5.3 and the

FIXML Position Report. Section VI, the Technical Requirements section of this Guidebook, includes detailed information on creating and 

transmitting Part 20 reports to the CFTC in an interim text-based format and through the XML schemas mentioned above. This Guidebook 

also supplements Appendix A to Part 20 and provides instructional guidelines for calculating futures equivalent swaps positions. The format 

of text-based pipe ( “|”) character delimited files is provided in Appendix B of this document.

Based on the above discussion, the following implementation dates apply to Part 20 reporting:

Item Deadline

Part 20 Reporting Rules published in Federal Register. 22 July, 2011

Safe harbor reporting period for cleared swaps begins. Entities can report in FpML or pipedelimited text file.21 November, 2011

Safe harbor reporting period for uncleared swaps begins. Entities can report in FpML or pipedelimited text file.20 January, 2012

Month-end open interest data for 9/30/2011, 10/31/2011, 11/30/2011, 12/31/2011, 1/31/2012 and 

2/29/2012 is due using a standard spreadsheet.

20 March, 2012

End of safe harbor reporting period. 20 March, 2012

No-action relief period begins. Entities can report in FpML, FIXML or pipe-delimited text file. 

Month-end open interest data is to be provided as prescribed in the no-action letter.

20 March, 2012

No-action relief period ends. Fully compliant reports must be provided. 2 July, 2012

The reporting for cleared swaps began November 21, 2011. Sections 20.7(b) and (c) provide the daily timing for the submission of the Part 

20 reports. Clearing organizations must submit reports no later than 9:00 a.m. eastern time on the next business day following the reporting 

day as that term is defined in § 20.1. Clearing members must report no later than 12:00 p.m. eastern time on the second (T+2) business day

following the reporting day to which the information pertains. For example, clearing organizations will provide reports for reporting day 

November 21 on November 22 and clearing members will provide reports for reporting day November 21 on November 23, 2011.

(2) An identifier indicating 

that a principal or 

counterparty position is 

being reported

An identifier assigned by the 

reporting entity to describe the 

ownership of the position 

(principal/agent or 

counterparty/customer). In the 

situation of a clearing member 

reporting paired swaps held by their 

customers (but to which the clearing 

member is not a principal), the 

clearing member may label the data 

records reflecting the positions of the 

customer as “Customer” and 

represent the positions opposite their 

customer’s positions as “Agent.” 

The Agent designation is intended to 

indicate that the party identified in 

that position report acted as an 

‘Agent’ on behalf of a customer for 

that position in a paired swap. For 

example, when a clearing member

d. Notes on Commodity Reference Prices

The Commodity Reference Price (“CRP”) data element requested by the Commission for § 20.3 and § 20.4 reports corresponds to that term as 

defined in the Sub-Annex A of the 2005 ISDA Commodity Definitions, or to any subsequent versions of that document. If the CRP resulting 

from a reportable position of a paired swap is not defined in Sub-Annex A of the 2005 ISDA Commodity Definitions, or any subsequent 

version of the document, reporting entities shall use the CRP that the clearing organization has created for that price exposure if the paired 

swap is a cleared swap. If the paired swap is uncleared, or if the clearing organization offers no substitute CRP value in the instance where the 

applicable price series is not defined in the ISDA Commodity Definitions, reporting entities shall then provide in the CRP data element field a 

description of the price source and heading that they are using to price the swap.

If new CRPs are added to Sub-Annex A of the 2005 ISDA Commodity Definitions, or any subsequent version of that document, it is the 

responsibility of reporting entities to adopt new CRPs as appropriate. Swap positions previously reported using a customized description 

should thereafter be reported using the relevant newly published ISDA CRP definition.

For the purpose of reporting under Part 20, the CRP includes a CFTC defined Position Type Indicator for each data record as follows –

The CRP Position Type Indicator field will have the following mutually-exclusive values:

 “TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread” for swaps:

o Composed of exactly 2 different commodity components;

o 1 long commodity component; and

o 1 short commodity component.

 “IndexOrBasket” for swaps:

o Composed of 2 long positions in different commodities;

o Composed of 2 short positions in different commodities; or

o Composed of positions in more than 2 different commodities.

 “TwoComponentLocationalBasis” for swaps:

o Composed of exactly 2 positions in the same (or substantially the same) commodity;

o The 2 positions call for delivery at different locations; and

o The pricing of the transaction is the difference in the locational prices.

 “Other” for swaps that are none of the above.

Along with other factors, the CRP Position Type Indicator makes use of distinctions between commodities to define CRP Position Types. For 
6/1/2012, Page 19

example, the “TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread” type requires that the two components pertain to different commodities. If these 

commodities are closely related but determined to be “different”, then the “TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread” value may be applied to 

that position, should the other requirements of that definition be satisfied as well. Alternatively, if those same two closely-related 

commodities are determined to be the “same” commodity, then the position could not be classified as a 

“TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread” position. Instead, the position may be characterized as “TwoComponentLocationalBasis” or, more 

likely, as an “Other” CRP Position Type.

The “same” commodity (in reference to some other commodity position) is defined to be any grade or type that is deliverable against the 

DCM covered contracts listed in § 20.2. For example, any crude oil blend that is deliverable against the ‘NYMEX Crude Oil, Light Sweet’

contract is considered to be the same commodity as the primary deliverable grade. Other crude oil blends that do not meet the deliverability 

standards of the relevant § 20.2 contract are as of this time not considered to be in the “same” commodity. Reporting entities under Part 20 

should label their paired swap positions using the CRP Position Type Indicator in accordance with the above definition of the “same” 

commodity. Persons may seek guidance from Commission staff as to what constitutes “substantially the same” commodity on a case-by-case 

basis.

A position is determined to be in a “different” commodity if it does not meet the definition of being in the “same, or “substantially the same”

commodity, relative to the other position(s) in question. The definitions of the “same” and “substantially the same” commodity have

important implications for the application of the CRP Position Type Indicator, and reporting entities are advised to carefully consided the 

details of the transactions that result in paired swap positions so that the correct CRP Position Type Indicator is used. As an example, a longonly basket-style transaction that involves many different crude oil prices may not yeild a position that qualifies as an “IndexOrBasket” CRP 

Position Type if those crude grades are all the “same”, as defined above. Given the existing definitions, these positions would be classified as 

“Other”.

e. Notes on Reporting by Data Records Associated with CFTC Defined Basis Swaps, Inter-Commodity Spread Swaps and 

Commodity Index Swaps

In order to clearly represent the position records resulting from paired swaps that are one of the above-mentioned Position Types, reporting 

entities shall "decompose" the exposures resulting from any such Position Types in the following manner. A

“TwoComponentLocationalBasis” transaction should result in a separate data record for each commodity exposure. The one exposure that 

renders the swap a paired swap shall use the Commodity and CRP data elements that are applicable. The other exposure from the transaction, 

while standing on its own may not qualify as a paired swap, shall nevertheless be reported in a separate data record because it is based on the 

same commodity (or substantially the same commodity). For the other exposure resulting from a basis transaction, which is defined as a 

transaction between two separate delivery locations for the same commodity, the Commodity data element shall be the same as the exposure 

rendering the transaction a paired swap. The CRP, however, may be distinct from the exposure that rendered the transaction a paired swap, 

and reporting entities shall submit information on the CRP as accurately as possible. For details, please see the above note on CRPs. Both 
6/1/2012, Page 20

data records should indicate “TwoComponentLocationalBasis” for a CFTC defined locational basis swap in the CRP Position Type Indicator 

field.

The decomposition of exposures resulting from paired swap transactions is pertinent in the case of commodity index swaps meeting the 

definition of “IndexOrBasket” for the CRP Position Type Indicator. For diversified commodity index swaps (see §§ 20.2 and 20.11), data 

records may indicate the Commodity as "Diversified Commodity Index" and the CRP as the value that corresponds to that entire published 

index (“Index ABC”). In these cases, the Commission will take the necessary steps to "decompose" the exposures resulting from such 

publically-known indices into the underlying exposures for surveillance functions. 

Alternatively, reporting entities may report the "decomposed" exposures from any diversified commodity index, and should report the 

"decomposed" exposures from any commodity index not meeting the criteria for diversified commodity indexes. In these instances, if a 

component of the index results in a futures equivalent position in any of the contracts listed in § 20.2, then that value should be used for the 

Commodity data element. If one or many of the positions resulting from the commodity index cannot be described by the contracts listed in §

20.2, then the Commodity data element may have the value of “Other”. It is optional but recommended to report any exposures of 

Commodity type “Other”. Regardless of whether only paired swap positions or all positions resulting from a decomposed IndexOrBasket 

position are reported, the CRP should be provided in all cases for each exposure or position resulting from that commodity index, even if the 

Commodity data element for a particular data record is “Other”. Furthermore, all data records should indicate “IndexOrBasket” for a CFTC 

defined commodity index swap in the CRP Position Type Indicator field. 

Similarly, counterparties to CFTC defined inter-commodity spread that qualify as paired swaps shall report all exposures resulting from that 

swap if both “legs” would individually qualify as paired swaps. Separate data records shall be submitted for the exposure resulting from each 

“leg”. The Commodity and CRP variables shall be reported in a manner similar to the treatment of CFTC defined commodity index swaps.

Again, it is optional to report non-paired swap positions that are associated with the paried swap position that meets the definition of 

“TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread” The CRP Position Type Indicator field for all positions from such swaps should be marked as 

“TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread.”

Please see data records 71-78, 79-102, 103-106,107-110, and 111-120 which result from swaps L, M, N, O, and P, respectively, for examples 

of the "decomposed" exposures presented in data records.

f. Notes on CFTC Commodity Index and Diversified Commodity Indices Definitions

As noted above, a commodity index swap has the following properties:

o Composed of 2 long positions in different commodities;
6/1/2012, Page 21

o Composed of 2 short positions in different commodities; or

o Composed of positions in more than 2 different commodities.

A commodity index swap is a swap that is not a two component locational basis or spread contract which is settled on the price of three or 

more commodities. A commodity index swap is also a swap that is settled on the price of two commodities as long as that swap does not 

settle upon the difference in the prices of those two commodities. Whether two or more commodities are determined to be the “different” or 

not is discussed above in section d.

For example, a swap that gives long-only exposure to two or more commodities is a commodity index swap for the purposes of reporting 

under Part 20. A swap that gives long exposure to one commodity and short exposure to two different commodities would also be reported as 

a commodity index swap. 

A swap that provides exposure to only two commodities, and provides long exposure to one commodity and short exposure to the other 

commodity, is not a CFTC-defined commodity index swap. This swap would be an inter-commodity spread swap.

Section 20.11 states that “[f]or the purpose of reporting in futures equivalents, paired swaps and swaptions using commodity reference 

prices that are commonly known diversified indices with publicly available weightings may be reported as if such indices underlie a single 

futures contract with monthly expirations for each calendar month and year.”

Reporting entities may choose to report Diversified Commodity Indices as if the indices are § 20.2 covered contracts rather than decomposing 

the indices into futures-equivalent components by commodity. Reporting entities that choose to report in this way would enter into the 

Commodity Reference Price field the Bloomberg ticker symbol of the Diversified Commodity Index (“Index ABC”) and a ‘commodity 

underlying the reportable position’ of “Diversified Commodity Index.” This would identify that the position being reported is in a Diversified 

Commodity Index called “Index ABC.” 

If the position in the Diversified Commodity Index is reported in this way, the long or short position should be reported in the ‘native’ units of 

the index. However, if the reporting entity chooses to report the position in decomposed form by commodity, the reporting entity would need 

to follow the futures equivalence guidelines described herein. 

For swaps on Diversified Commodity Indices that reporting entities choose to report in terms of the index, the Commodity Reference Price 

for that position report should be the Bloomberg ticker symbol for that index. For example, positions in swaps on the Standard and Poor’s 

GSCI should be reported with a Commodity Reference Price of SPGSCI. Swaps on the Dow Jones-UBS Energy Total Return Sub-Index 

should have a Commodity Reference Price of DJUBENTR.
6/1/2012, Page 22

g. Notes on Non-Standard Options

Representing the features of many non-standard swaptions may be difficult with the limited data elements required by § 20.3 and § 20.4

reports. Examples of such non-standard swaptions include swaptions with multiple strike prices, or swaptions with notional sizes in units 

different from those of the reportable positions resulting from that swaption. The strike prices and non-delta-adjusted positions resulting from 

such swaptions may not be interpreted easily.

i. Use of the Non-Standard Swaption Indicator

To accommodate reporting entities, in lieu of reporting certain information in the strike price and non-delta-adjusted data elements that would 

not at this time provide clearly and fully the details of that swaption from the individual data record, reporting entities may use an indicator to 

convey that a particular position results from a non-standard swaption.

The use of the non-standard swaption indicator (incorporated as data element 20.3(b)(12)(i) and § 20.4(c)(17)(i)) does not remove the 

obligation of the reporting entity to accurately report delta-adjusted positions, along with all other applicable data elements required under §§ 

20.3 and 20.4, and may result in additional surveillance activities to monitor and better understand such non-standard swaption positions 

through the exercise of special call authority under § 20.6.

Notwithstanding the above guidance, each reporting entity must, to the best of their ability, attempt to complete all of the swaptions-related 

data elements in §§ 20.3 and 20.4. Reporting entities must determine the reportability of the strike price and non-delta adjusted position data 

elements on a swaption-by-swaption basis. No reporting entity is granted ‘blanket’ relief from reporting these fields.

ii. Reporting Positions from Swaption Transactions with a Non-Standard Strike Price

The Swaption Strike Price data element is generally comprised of three XML components which correspond to the value of the strike price, 

the units for the strike price, and the currency for the strike price. Representing the Swaption Strike Price data element through these XML 

components may be performed in different ways for swaption positions.

For a simple swaption where a single underlying instrument is used for the strike, the strike price may be expressed naturally. However, in the 

case where a position results from a differencing transaction, the swaption strike price value may represent the difference in price of two or 

more underlying instruments. In this case, the Non-Standard Swaption Indicator should be used, and the strike price value should be as 

specified in the contract. When swaption positions result from a Diversified Commodity Index, the swaption strike price value should be the 

value as specified in the contract and the strike units should be presented as the Bloomberg ticker for the Diversified Commodity Index. This 

guidance is applicable whether or not the exposures from the Diversified Index are decomposed. If a swaption on a Diversified Commodity 

Index involves a strike price that is different than the Index itself, please follow the guidance below that pertains to swaptions on customized 

indices. 
6/1/2012, Page 23

Finally, when reporting a swaption position that results from a customized index (i.e. one that is not publically-known) and when the strike 

price cannot be expressed as a value of a single underlying instrument, the strike price value should be submitted as is specified in the 

contract. However, the value for the units associated with the strike price should be a key that uniquely identifies the components and 

construction of the strike price. This key should be alpha-numeric (do not use reserved characters), less than 243 characters, and preceded by 

“Custom_Strike_”. Should the Commission contact a reporting entity and request information regarding the strike price that is associated with 

a particular position, this custom strike key will be referenced. For this reason, firms submitting futures equivalent swaption positions from 

customized indices should keep information regarding the composition of the strike price of such transactions readily available.

The guidance on this issue is summarized in the following table:

h. Notes on the Execution Facility Indicator

Data element (12) in § 20.4 reports is “an execution facility indicator.” Industry feedback indicates that certain positions may not be 

amenable to reporting by execution facility. For example, a 50 long position was obtained through Execution Facility A and the two 35 short

position were obtained through Execution Facility B and C, difficulties arise in assigning an Execution Facility to the net short position of 20.

In such cases, the Execution Facility field should be ‘null.’ The value for the Execution Facility Indicator will also be ‘null’ in the case where 

the transaction was not conducted on an execution facility. The Execution Facility should still be reported for cleared and uncleared swaps 

positions where it is appropriate to do so and where the information can be reported accurately. See http://www.iso15022.org/MIC/homepageMIC.htm.

i. Notes on the 102S Filing

The 102S identifier is a unique identifier for each reporting entity or counterparty/customer as assigned by the reporting entity. Reporting 

entities will provide for both principal/agent and counterparty/customer. If the reporting entity currently identifies a counterparty on a Form 

102, the identifier used on the Form 102 may also be used for the 102S identifier, as long as the same legal entity is referenced.

§ 20.5(a)(1) specifies that, “When a counterparty consolidated account first becomes reportable, the reporting entity shall submit a 102S 

filing, which shall consist of the name, address, and contact information of the counterparty and a brief description of the nature of such 

person's paired swaps and swaptions market activity.

in multiple swaps or swaptions. Additionally, reporting entities shall update the 102S filing if the information is no longer accurate.

§ 20.5(a)(3) specifies that each reporting entity shall submit a 102S filing within three days following the business day upon which the 

position in the consolidated account identified by the 102S identifier first becomes reportable. Also, a 102S filing must be submitted upon 

special call by the Commission.

102S Submission Procedure

The 102S filing submission may be completed by ftp’ing to the CFTC’s secure FTP site or by emailing the Excel file with the required 

information to the CFTC’s 102S filing mailbox at 102SFiling@cftc.gov. The naming convention for this file should be 

102S_[IDENT]_[YYYYMMDD].xls or .xlsx. The file layout can be found in Appendix D. Reporting entities who submit 102S filing 

should attempt to minimize the number of submission emails sent each day by including multiple 102S filings in a single Excel file.

j. Notes on Reporting Open Interest (not applicable to swap dealers that are not clearing members):

A condition of the relief provided by the Division in its letters issued September 16, 2011, November 18, 2011, and March 20, 2012 is that 

clearing organizations and clearing members are required to provide open interest data for positions as of each month end during the 

applicable relief period. As the September 16, 2011 letter further states (and the subsequent two letters confirm), “[s]ubmitted open interest 

data must be reported on a futures equivalent basis in terms of contracts listed in § 20.2 of the reporting rules. The open interest data must 

allow the Commission to readily identify and distinguish swaps: (1) by the identifier assigned by a clearing organization for a cleared product; 
6/1/2012, Page 27

(2) that are cash settled based on the difference in price of the same commodity (or substantially the same commodity) at different delivery 

locations; and (3) that are based on an index comprised of prices of commodities that are not the same or substantially the same commodity 

(other than calendar spread or inter-commodity spread swaps). Open interest attributable to uncleared swaps must also be reported separately 

by the counterparty to such swaps.” See Technical Requirements (Section VI) for more detail on file layout and transmission.

Guidance for meeting the open interest reporting requirements is as follows –

i. Open Interest Reporting for Cleared Swaps:

1) Clearing Organizations will report end-of-month open interest for cleared swaps that are paired swaps. As of the last business day 

each month from September 2011 through June 2012, reporting parties must provide unique data records containing the following data 

fields:

A. The reporting day;

B. The relevant covered contract in § 20.2 that renders certain swap open interest reportable;

C. The identifier assigned by a clearing organization for a cleared product that is paired to the § 20.2 contract (same as § 

20.3(b)(3));

D. Open interest for such cleared product on a futures equivalent basis (all-months-combined) in terms of the covered contract in 

(C); and 

E. The CRP Position Type Indicator.

2) Clearing Members will report end-of-month open interest for cleared swaps that are paired swaps. As of the last business day each 

month from September 2011 through June 2012, reporting parties must provide unique data records containing the following data 

fields:

A. The reporting day;

B. The relevant covered contract in § 20.2 that renders certain swap open interest reportable;

C. The identifier assigned by a clearing organization for a cleared product that is paired to the § 20.2 contract (same as § 

20.3(b)(3));

D. Open interest for such cleared product on a futures equivalent basis (all-months-combined) in terms of the covered contract in 

(C) (i.e. net exposure for all months combined for reporting clearing members); and 

E. The CRP Position Type Indicator

Note: For reportable cleared products, the reporting party shall convert such products into futures equivalents (without 

determining, assigning and reporting futures equivalent months) pursuant to the guidance provided in Appendix A to Part 20

and herein and apportion open interest to all components that are paired to a § 20.2 contract. 

ii. Open Interest Reporting for Uncleared Swaps: Clearing Members with reportable positions in paired swaps that are uncleared will report 
6/1/2012, Page 28

open interest in the uncleared paired swaps. As of the last business day each month from September 2011 to June 2012, entities must 

provide unique data records containing the following data fields:

A. The reporting day;

B. The relevant covered contract in § 20.2 that renders certain swap open interest reportable;

C. Open interest for such swaps on a futures equivalent basis (all-months-combined) in terms of the covered contract in (B) (i.e.

net exposure for all-months-combined for reporting clearing members);

D. The CRP Position Type Indicator; and

E. Name of counterparty of the uncleared swaps position (same as § 20.4(c)(4)).

Note: Clearing members shall provide open interest attributable to uncleared open swaps on a net basis per counterparty. Open 

interest however shall not be netted across counterparties.

k. Paired Swaps: Guidelines for Linkage to § 20.2 Contracts

To determine whether a particular swap or swaption is “paired” as defined in § 20.1, reporting parties should reference the CRP fields for 

swaps and answer the following questions.

Does the swap reference a CRP that is a § 20.2 contract?

 If yes, the swap is a paired swap subject to Part 20.

Does the swap reference a CRP that is not a § 20.2 contract, but that nonetheless is the price of the same commodity as a § 20.2 contract for 

delivery at the same location? 

 If yes, the swap is a paired swap subject to Part 20.

Does the swap reference a CRP that in turn explicitly references in any way, whether through a pricing formula or survey, the price of the 

same commodity as a § 20.2 contract for delivery at the same location? 

 If yes, the swap is a paired swap subject to Part 20.

Examples:

 Properties: Some crude oil swaps specify a CRP called “Wall Street Journal Daily Published Price of US Crude Oil,” and the 

methodology for calculating that published price of crude oil is to take an average of the daily price of the front month NYMEX CL 

contract and a published price of a different crude oil type.
6/1/2012, Page 29

Conclusion: Any swaps with such a CRP would meet the price linkage requirements and would be paired swaps.

 Properties: Some swaps specify a CRP which is a published survey assessment. The survey for the assessments explicitly collects volume 

weighted cash market transactions in the same commodity and at the same delivery location as that of a § 20.2 contract.

Conclusion: Any swaps with such a CRP would meet the price linkage requirements and would be a paired swap.

 Properties: Some swaps specify a CRP that is a published survey assessment (other than as described immediately above) that includes 

volume weighted cash market transactions. In this case, the survey does not explicitly identify that it may collect transactions in the same 

commodity at the same delivery location as that of a § 20.2 contract. 

Conclusion: Because the survey may not include transactions in the same commodity in the same delivery location as a § 20.2 contract,

swaps with such a CRP would not meet the price linkage requirements and thus would not be paired swaps.

l. Notes on Notional Value 

Notional value must always be reported in US dollars (USD). To calculate the long and/or short notional value data element requested in 

§20.4 reports, the long and/or short futures equivalent or price reference month position should be multiplied by the relevant price. The 

relevant price is the value of the commodity reference price associated with the position displayed in each data record. For swaptions, the 

delta-adjusted long and/or short position should be multiplied by the relevant settlement price for that particular exposure of the swaption. 

Typically the relevant price will be the settlement price of the underlying on that report date. The discussion of the examples in the 

Guidebook reflects this methodology. 

m. Futures Equivalency Guidelines 

The purpose of the futures equivalency guidelines is to supplement the Appendices to Part 20 as well as provide more precise instruction on 

specific types of swaps not adequately addressed in the Appendices.

Generally, the futures equivalent month of a swap, or for some portion of a swap’s duration, should correspond to the price exposure resulting 

from the swap. Stated another way, the futures equivalent positions generated from a swap would be the portfolio of futures contracts that 

would most closely provide the price exposure of that swap. Report all futures equivalent positions to four decimals (rounded).

The futures equivalent contracts resulting from this treatment of swaps may differ in some ways from the risk management practices that a 

firm may use in that the futures equivalents may not be the same as the futures contracts and contract expiration months that a firm could 

actually use to offset the risk of a particular swap. For example, if a swap generated price exposure to the monthly settlement of a futures 

contract for twelve consecutive futures contract expirations, this price exposure could be offset by “stacking and rolling” a futures market 
6/1/2012, Page 30

position forward from month to month as liquidity migrates to the nearby futures expiration months. While this may be an acceptable risk 

management practice, representing the futures equivalent position resulting from the swap as if, for the first month, all twelve months of price 

exposure was obtained from the nearby futures contract, would be incorrect and not consistent with the intent to best represent the price 

exposure generated by a swap in terms of futures equivalent months. 

i. Swaps Linked to a DCM Contract

Paired swaps directly or indirectly priced off of DCM contracts listed in § 20.2 are fairly straightforward to convert to futures equivalents. 

The terms of the swap will specify the Specified Price and Delivery Date(s) of each Pricing Date during the swap’s duration. The notional 

quantity of the swap is then apportioned to the relevant futures equivalent months as per the specifications of the swap transaction, and then 

divided by the relevant § 20.2 futures contract size to calculate the number of futures equivalent contracts for each applicable futures month.

In the event where a swap has a long duration and is priced off a DCM contract that does not list contract expirations as far into the future, the 

swap shall be converted as necessary into futures equivalent months that are reasonably expected to be listed in the future, as per the guidance 

of the relevant futures contract specifications. For example, the monthly expirations of the NYMEX “CL” crude oil contract are listed nine 

years forward, although years six through nine only provide a June and December contract. A swap with a ten-year duration that prices off of 

each consecutive expiration of the NYMEX “CL” crude oil contract could be reported, on the first day of its inclusion in a reportable position, 

as if it resulted in positions in futures equivalent months that have not yet been listed for trading by an exchange. In this case, the 

counterparties to the swap, in their selection of pricing mechanism, are assuming that the far-out contract months will eventually be listed, so 

it is appropriate to report the relevant parts of the swap exposure in terms of those not-yet-listed futures equivalent months.

ii. Swaps Not Linked to a DCM Contract

Paired swaps not priced off of a DCM contract, but instead priced to a commodity with the same delivery location(s) as the DCM contracts 

listed in § 20.2, are less straightforward to convert to futures equivalent positions. The cash market surveys used in these cases usually consist 

of spot or short-term forward prices. 

If the swap pricing refers to a spot or short-term forward price series, then it is appropriate to convert the notional quantity of the swap into 

futures equivalent positions of the futures contract that will deliver at the same time as the cash market transactions in that price series. 

Although less common, if the swap was priced using an index of long-term forward contracts, then the futures equivalent month(s) of the 

swap should reflect the delivery dates of the forward contract index, since the long-term forward contracts are likely to be priced similarly to 

futures contracts that are concurrently trading with similar delivery dates. 

For example, a swap priced using a value of a gasoline spot market price on September 15, 2011 would be converted to September futures 

equivalent position, even though the September contract settles on August 31, 2011. This swap would result in futures equivalent positions in 

the September contract even though it will not be possible to actually hold open futures positions in this contract beyond the settlement date. 
6/1/2012, Page 31

The delivery window of the September gasoline (RB) contract is 9/09/2011-9/29/2011, therefore the cash market transaction on 9/15/2011 

will occur during this timeframe. 

iii. Price Reference Month

The Price Reference Month data field shall be used in lieu of the futures equivalent month data field in the following situations:

1) In the event that a swap is priced off the same commodity underlying the DCM contracts listed in § 20.2 but the delivery of the 

referenced cash market transaction(s) occurs during a calendar month when no futures contract is slated to be potentially deliverable, 

the Price Reference Month for the swap, or for some duration of the swap, shall be the calendar month of the referenced cash market 

delivery date(s). Because the swap position does not have a true futures equivalent in cases like this, the exposure resulting from the 

swap shall be termed a Price Reference Month, and distinguished from Futures Equivalent months in Part 20 reports.

2) Any exposure reported as part of a paired swap but which is not in any of the commodities underlying the DCM contracts listed in 

§20.2. The price reference month should, by definition, only be reported when there is not an applicable futures equivalent month for 

the position being reported. Practically, Price Reference Month will be used in this context when the data record Commodity value 

reflects “Other” or “Diversified Commodity Index”.

3) As a corollary, for swaps linked to futures contracts that have 12 monthly expirations each calendar year and that are reported in 

futures equivalent positions (rather than as part of a Diversified Commodity Index), the Futures Equivalent Month field will always be 

used to identify the month of the exposure.

iv. Daily and Weekly Swaps

Daily and weekly swaps can be converted into futures equivalents in the manner described above. If the daily or weekly swap references a 

settlement from a non-DCM reference price, then follow the general guidance provided above for reporting futures equivalent months for 

swaps not priced off a DCM contract. 

v. Average Price Swaps

Swaps with average pricing result in a decreasing futures equivalent position over time as the price values of each calculation period become 

certain. For example, a swap where the floating price is the simple average of the next thirty days of daily settlements of some DCM contract, 

would have a futures equivalent position on the day before the first pricing day equal to the notional size of the swap divided by the size of 

the DCM contract. On the next day, after the first pricing day has occurred (or 1/30 of the inputs to the floating price are now certain) the 

futures equivalent position would be 29/30ths of the notional size of the swap divided by the size of the DCM contract.

Example 1 of Appendix A to Part 20 displays the calculation of futures equivalent positions from a similar swap with average pricing. 

Average price swaps are also represented in the example data records submitted by swap dealers and clearing members in this guidebook.
6/1/2012, Page 32

vi. Variance and Volatility Swaps

As of this time, this Guidebook does not include guidance as to how to report positions resulting from variance and volatility swaps, and 

similar transactions as discussed further below, on a regular basis under Part 20. Positions reported under Part 20 are represented in long or 

short units equivalent to one of the covered contracts in § 20.2, and in certain cases, to some “Other” commodity or to an “Index”. As such, 

each swap position report contains positions equivalent to a long and/or short position in one of those contracts.

Volatility is defined as the difference in prices across time. Variance is a measure of the distribution of a sample of prices. As such, these are 

fundamentally different measures than the long and short directional price exposure that is measured using futures equivalent units. Therefore, 

a variance or volatility swap may meet the definition of a paired swap, but it may be difficult or misleading to express in terms of futures 

equivalent units using the data elements prescribed for Part 20 reports.

However, reporting entities are not granted ‘blanket’ relief from reporting positions from transactions termed as either “variance swaps”, 

“volatility swaps”, or other similar terms; rather, if reporting entities determine on a case-by-case basis that the positions resulting from such 

transactions cannot be expressed as a futures equivalent position, then they are not required to make regular reports on these positions under 

Part 20.

In addition, please note that regulation § 20.6 still remains in effect towards variance and volatility swaps that are paired swaps. Such swap 

positions and transactions may also be subject to a special call made by the Commission under § 18.05.

n. Notes on the Manner of Reporting

The following guidance pertains to the timely reporting of data records under Part 20. In order to standardize and simplify the reporting 

requirements for reports submitted under Part 20, the following reporting schedule for Part 20 reports is offered to reporting entities and 

clearing organizations as per the authority under § 20.7 to establish the manner of reporting.

Section 20.7(b) directs clearing organizations to submit § 20.3(b) and § 20.3(c) reports no later than 9:00 a.m. eastern standard time on the 

next business day following a reporting day. Similarly, § 20.7(c) directs reporting entities to submit § 20.4(c) reports no later than 12:00 p.m. 

eastern standard time on the second business day following the reporting day.

The definition of business day in § 1.3 of the Commission’s regulations includes all days except Sundays and holidays. For the purposes of 

complying with Part 20, reporting entities may elect to not consider Saturdays to be a business day, as Saturday is not commonly known as 

such. Instead, clearing organizations and reporting entities may submit Part 20 data records under the schedule displayed in the following 

tables. In the tables, the submission day is the day of the week that the relevant report for the associated reporting day is expected by the 

Commission. The time during the day that reports are expected is unchanged from § 20.7(b) and § 20.7(c). 
6/1/2012, Page 33

The reporting schedule displayed in the tables below does not take into account any holidays. To the extent that a U.S. Federal government 

holiday falls on either the submission day, and additionally in the case of § 20.4(c) reports, the day prior to the submission day, it is 

permissible for the submission of the applicable Part 20 data record to occur on the business day immediately after the usual submission day. 

Please note that any submission made under Part 20 can be made prior to the relevant submission day shown below. Early submission is 

beneficial in that it may allow the Commission to review your submission earlier and provide more timely feedback regarding the 

acceptability of the file structure and data contents.

III. Data Record Layout Examples

The following examples display hypothetical data records that are generated from hypothetical swaps under a number of different scenarios. 

Each set of data records is designed to display a different aspect of the swaps large trader reporting methodology. 

Data records 1-3 (from swaps A, B, and C) show a straightforward application of the futures equivalent conversion and reporting 

methodology, specifically the manner by which multiple transactions may result in positions that are combined into the same data records. 

Conversely, data records 4-9 (from swap D) detail the manner by which a single swap transaction may result in many futures equivalent 

positions. 

Data records 10-11 (swap E) show the positions generated when a swap is a paired swap but not directly linked to a §20.2 contract. Data 

records 12-17 (swaps F, G, and H) display the manner by which a reporting entity may come to show a long and short position in the same 

data record. Data records 18-19 (swap I) show the data records generated by an un-exercised swaption. The discussion for these data records 

details the particular reporting conventions to follow when reporting swaption positions.

Data records 20-25 (from swap J) show the position reports generated by a non-clearing entity when a swap is brought to clearing. 

Furthermore, these examples detail the reporting of swaps which include average pricing mechanisms. Data records 26-27 (from swap K) 
6/1/2012, Page 34

show the position records generated by a daily swap. The associated discussion details issues particular to the reporting of daily swaps. Data 

records 28-52 show the positions generated by the same reporting entity featured in data records 1-27 but for a different reporting day. The 

discussion highlights the instances where the data records reported differ or remain constant across time. 

Data records 53-70 display the data records generated by a clearing member when it brings a swap to clearing on behalf of its customers

(swap J, as referenced in data records 20-25). Data records 71-78 (from swap L) display the positions generated by a swap involving gold and 

Eurodollars; as such, these data records display the use of the Price Reference Month data element. Data records 79-102 (swap M) display the 

data records generated by swaption strip that entails a number of different swaption expiration dates. Data records 103-106 show the position 

records resulting from all of the components of a commodity index swap (swap N), while data records 107-110 show the position records 

generated by each exposure or “leg” of a locational basis swap (swap O).

Finally, data records 111-112 (swap P) display the data records generated by a swap dealer who enters into a Diversified Commodity Index 

swap and chooses to report the paired swaps in terms of the index, and not decompose the exposure of that index. Data records 113-120 again 

display exposures from swap P, but now they are decomposed are reported in terms of the underlying Futures Equivalent positions.

NB: The displayed values for the Cleared Product ID, Clearing Organization Identifier, and Execution Facility Indicators used in these 

data records may not be allowable values for these data elements, as defined in the Part 20 Data Dictionary. These data records reflect 

hypothetical cleared swap products and clearing/execution facilities, which necessitates the use of hypothetical values. All data records 

reported under Part 20 should only contain valid values for each respective data element, as noted in the Part 20 Data Dictionary.

For ease of visualization, the data records displayed in this section represent currency figures by using the $ sign. All data records 

submitted under Part 20 should display currencies using the ISO conventions noted in the Part 20 Data Dictionary.

Data records 1-3

In this example, data records 1-3 (shown below) resulted from swaps A, B, and C. Data record 1 shows the principal position of the swap 

dealer, SD1, on 9/01/2011 in uncleared heating oil swaps priced using the Platts Oilgram Price Report for New York No. 2 (Barge), and not 

transacted on an execution facility. The swap dealer’s principal position for this combination of reporting day, commodity, futures equivalent 

month, cleared/unclear status, execution status, and commodity reference price was 200.0000 Sep2011 long futures equivalent positions.

To determine that swaps A-C result in futures equivalent positions in the Sep 2011 heating oil contract, refer to the methodology established 

above for swaps not linked to a DCM contract. The contract specifications of swaps A-C indicate that the pricing of each swap will be the 

spot market price on the business day closest to September 15, 2011. Spot market transactions occurring on September 15th are partial 

substitutes to holding the September futures contract to delivery, which occurs from 9/09/2011-9/29/2011. For this reason, the futures 

equivalent positions resulting from swaps A-C are Sep 2011 futures equivalents, even though the last trading day of the Sep 2011 contract is 

8/31/2011.

To determine that SD1 held a position of 200.0000 long Sep 2011 NYMEX heating oil futures equivalents, first observe that SD1 is the fixed 

price payer for swaps A-C, and therefore has long price exposure. Each swap has one effective calculation period, so the total notional 

quantity of the swap is the notional quantity in that single calculation period. Swaps A and B both have a notional quantity of 2,100,000 U.S. 

gallons of heating oil. Because the NYMEX heating oil futures contract size is 42,000 U.S. gallons, the notional quantity of each swap results 

in a futures equivalent position of 50.0000 contracts. SD1 is counterparty to a swap with these specifications with both counterparties 

Energy_Firm_1 and Energy_Firm_2. Additionally, swap C, which is in all ways identical to swap B except for the notional quantity and the 

trade date, is also transacted at an earlier date between SD1 and Energy_Firm_2. The total notional quantity of this swap is 4,200,000 U.S. 

gallons of heating oil, or the equivalent of 100.0000 NYMEX heating oil contracts. 

Additionally note that Energy_Firm_1, perhaps because they conducted less business with SD1 in this example, receives a lower fixed price 

than Energy_Firm_2 receives. The fixed price, however, is not a field identified in the §20.3 or §20.4 data reports.

Similarly, data records 2 and 3 show the positions of SD1’s counterparties Energy_Firm_1 and Energy_Firm_2 in that same combination of 

reporting day, commodity, futures equivalent month, cleared/unclear status, execution status, and commodity reference price. Energy_Firm_1 

has a short futures equivalent position of 50.0000 and Energy_Firm_2 has a short futures equivalent position of 150.0000. 

Energy_Firm_1’s short position resulted from a single transaction previously discussed (swap A). Energy_Firm_2’s position resulted from 

two individual swap transactions, swaps B and C. If some feature of swap C had been different, for example if a different cash market price 

series was used to price the swap, the positions of Energy_Firm_2 resulting from swaps B and C would not be combined in a single data 

record. Additionally, a new data record would be required from SD1 to show its exposure in that heating oil swap. 

For the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent positions resulting from these swaps, assume on 9/01/2011 that the spot 

market price (Heating Oil-New York (Barge)-Platts U.S.) of heating oil was $3.1000 per gallon.

Data records 4-9

Data records 4 through 9 (shown below) contain positions of the swap dealer, SD1, and its counterparty, Energy_Firm_3, as a result of swap 

D. These positions are also in heating oil, but the commodity reference price and the futures equivalent month(s) are different than the 

positions displayed in data records 1-3. Swap D prices off one of the DCM contracts listed in §20.2, while swaps A-C priced off a cash 
6/1/2012, Page 36

market survey of the same commodity as swap D and in the same delivery location as specified in the DCM contract.

SD1 has a position of 350.0000 Oct 2011, Nov 2011, and Dec 2011 long futures contract equivalents, while Energy_Firm_3 holds the 

opposite positions. These positions resulted from swap D, in which SD1 is the fixed price payer and Energy_Firm_3 is the floating price 

payer. The total notional quantity of the swap is 44,100,000 U.S. gallons of No. 2 New York Harbor Heating Oil, although in this example 

there are three calendar-month long calculation periods, and therefore the notional quantity per calculation period is 14,700,000 U.S. gallons.

Because the NYMEX Heating Oil contract size is 42,000 U.S. gallons each calculation period corresponds to 350.0000 future equivalent 

contracts. Each calculation period is priced using the last day's next-to-expire futures contract settlement price during that calculation period, 

or September 30, 2011, October 31, 2011, November 30, 2011, respectively. These prices would result in positions in the October, November, 

and December heating oil contracts in 2011. 

Data records 4 through 9 display the manner in which a single swap transaction may result in multiple (six) position records under §20.4. In 

contrast, data records 1-3 resulted from three swap transactions. The position of SD1 resulting from swap D cannot be combined with SD1's 

positions resulting from swaps A, B, and C because the commodity reference price is different and the futures equivalent month also differs. 

Swaps A, B, C, and D are similar however, in that they are all uncleared, all result in heating oil positions, and are all executed without the 

use of an execution facility.

For the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent positions resulting from swap D, assume on 9/01/2011 that the price of the 

Oct 2011 heating oil futures contract settled at $3.1000 per gallon, and that the price of the Nov 2011 contract was $3.0000 per gallon, and 

that the price of Dec 2011 contract was $2.9000 per gallon.

Data records 10-11

Data records 10 and 11 (shown below) contain position records (from the perspective of SD1 only) resulting from a cleared swap (swap E) 

between SD1 and its clearing member counterparty, ABC_Clearing. It is important to note that other than the fact that the swap is cleared and 

centrally executed, it is otherwise quite similar to swap C, which also resulted in a position of 100.0000 long Sep 2011 futures contract 

equivalents. However, per the instructions in §20.4(b), SD1’s positions in otherwise similar cleared and uncleared swaps are not to be Data

combined into a single data record, and are to instead be reported separately. The generation of futures equivalent positions and notional 

values is similar to the process discussed in data records 1-3.

SD1’s counterparty to this swap, ABC_Clearing, is a clearing member and therefore also required to submit position records under §20.4. In 

this example, the positions resulting from swap E would be reported by ABC_Clearing and perhaps combined with other like positions that 

the clearing member holds. When ABC_Clearing reports this swap from their perspective, they would identify that they hold as an Agent, and 

not as a Principal, a position of 100.0000 short Sep 2011 NYMEX HO futures equivalent positions. Likewise, ABC_Clearing would report 

SD1 as having a Customer, and not Counterparty, position of 100.0000 long Sep 2011 NYMEX HO futures equivalent positions. This 

alternative terminology would be employed to indicate the relationship between the clearing member and its customer.

Data records 12-17

Data records 12 through 17 (shown below) result from swaps F, G, and H. These are uncleared natural gas swaps between the swap dealer 

SD1 and counterparties XYZ_Firm, WVU_Firm, and Energy_Firm_1, respectively. The contract size for the NYMEX natural gas contract is 

10,000 MMBTU per month, therefore the total notional size of swaps F, G, and H is 250.0000, 75.0000, and 100.0000 futures equivalents, 

respectively.

Swaps F, G, and H yield six position records on 9/01/2011 for a number of reasons. For one, these data records reflect a scenario where a 

principal or counterparty position may consist of both long and short futures equivalent positions. Second, two of the three swaps contributing 

to these data records generate futures equivalent positions in a single futures contract month, while the third generates futures equivalent 

positions in two futures contract months.

Swap F results in long futures equivalent positions of 125.0000 NYMEX natural gas Nov 2011 and Dec 2011 contracts for SD1, and opposite

positions for the counterparty XYZ_Firm. XYZ_Firm’s positions are shown in data records 14 and 15. SD1’s Dec 2011 long position of 

125.0000 futures equivalents is shown in data record 13, and SD1’s 125.0000 Nov 2011 long futures equivalents resulting from Swap F are 

shown in data record 12, along with SD1’s long Nov 2011 position of 75.0000 NYMEX futures equivalents obtained from swap G.

Additionally, data record 12 shows SD1 with a short position of 100.0000 Nov-2011 NYMEX natural gas futures equivalents. This short 

position arises from swap H, where SD1 is floating price payer and the counterparty, Energy_Firm_1, is the fixed price payer. 

Energy_Firm_1’s position resulting from swap H is found in data record 17.

For the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent positions resulting from swaps F, G, and H, assume on 9/01/2011 that the 

price of the Nov 2011 natural gas futures contract settled at $4.5000 per MMBTU, and that the price of the Dec 2011 contract was $4.4000 

per MMBTU.

Data records 18-19

Data records 18 and 19 (shown below) result from swap I, which in this example is a natural gas swap transaction with optionality (also 

referred to as a swaption). In this example, assume the swaption cannot be exercised until 9/14/2011. 

Assume in this example that the delta factor on this option is .9, as the settlement price on 9/01/2011 is $5.0000 per MMBTU and the 

swaption strike is $4.5000 per MMBTU. However, the swaption does not expire until 9/14/2011, so there is a small chance that the swaption 

may expire out of the money. 

Because the swaption is trading close to parity, the non-delta adjusted and the delta-adjusted positions are not very different. If the swaption 

delta had been one, then the delta adjusted swaption positions would be the same as the non-delta adjusted swaption positions.

As in previous examples, for the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent positions resulting from swap I assume on 

9/01/2011 that the price of the Nov 2011 natural gas futures contract settled at $5.0000 per MMBTU. Multiply this value by the delta-adjusted 

positions to calculate the notional values.

Data records 20-25

Swap J results in data records 20-25 (shown below). The calculation of the futures equivalent positions resulting from swap J is more 

complex than in previously discussed swaps. Swap J is a cleared soybean swap between SD1 and CP_10, although these entities are 

anonymously matched at the execution facility. Assume that SD1 and its non-reporting counterparty (CP_10) both use CM1 as their clearing 

member. Swap J has three calculation periods, each one calendar month in length. Furthermore, the floating price is calculated as the 

arithmetic average of the daily next-to-expire futures price across each calculation period.1

As was the case with data records 10-11, SD1 reports their position as principal and their clearing member (CM1) as having a counterparty 

position. If CM1 were to report this trade, they would reference SD1’s position as customer and their long positions as being agent positions.

Because the CBOT soybean contract has a size of 5,000 bushels, and the total notional quantity of the swap is 1,500,000 bushels, the notional 

quantity of swap J per calculation period on 9/01/2011 equals 500,000 bushels, or 100.0000 futures contract equivalents.

Determining the futures equivalent month(s) for an average price swap like swap J necessitates referencing the product calendar of the 

relevant futures contract. The first calculation period spans September 01, 2011 through September 30, 2011. The 30 daily settlement prices 

across this calculation period do not correspond to a single futures equivalent month; instead the next-to-expire CBOT soybean futures 

contract is the Sep 2011 contract during the September 01-September 14 time period. From September 15-September 30, when the first 

calculation period of swap J is over, the next-to-expire CBOT soybean futures contract is the Nov-2011 contract. Therefore, on 9/01/2011, 

14/30ths of futures equivalent positions of the notional quantity assigned to the first calculation period are assigned to the Sep 2011 contract 

month while 16/30ths of the notional quantity are assigned to the Nov 2011 contract month.

Further translated into futures equivalents, on 9/01/2011 the first calculation period of swap J results in 46.6667 Sep 2011 futures equivalent 

positions and 53.3333 Nov 2011 futures equivalents.

Similarly, the second calculation period spans October 01, 2011 through October 31, 2011. The next-to-expire futures contract during this 

entire calculation period is the Nov 2011 futures contract (the CBOT does not list an October futures contract). The full notional quantity of 

the second calculation period is therefore priced using the Nov 2011 futures contract, and the resulting futures equivalent position on 

9/01/2011 is 100.0000.

The third calculation period of swap J spans November 01, 2011 through November 30, 2011. The next-to-expire futures contract is the Nov

2011 contract up until it settles on 11/14/2011. Thereafter, for the remaining pricing days in November, the next-to-expire futures contract is 

the Jan 2012 contract (the CBOT does not list a December futures contract). Accordingly, on 9/01/2011, 14/30th of the notional quantity of 

the third calculation period are reported as Nov 2011 futures equivalent positions (46.6667 contracts), and 16/30ths are reported as Jan 2012 

futures equivalent positions (53.3333 contracts). 

When SD1 reports its principal and counterparty positions for swap J on 9/01/2011, it will therefore report a short principal position of 

46.6667 Sep 2011 futures equivalent positions, 200.0000 Nov 2011 futures equivalent positions, and 53.3333 Jan 2012 futures equivalent 

positions. The counterparty to swap J, CM1, will be shown to have the opposite position from SD1. The futures equivalent position of 

200.0000 Nov 2011 contracts results from all three calculation periods of the swap. 

Because this swap is brought to clearing, SD1 would report CM1 as the counterparty instead of the original counterparty to the swap CP_10. 

If CP_10 was also a reporting entity, they would likewise report CM1 as their counterparty. The clearing process essentially produces two 

transactions with the clearing member on the long side and the short side, standing between the original counterparties to the swap.

For the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalents of swap J on 9/01/2011, assume that the Sep 2011 contract price is 1400 

cents per bushel, the Nov 2011 contract price is 1450 cents per bushel, and the Jan 2011 contract price is 1500 cents per bushel. Accordingly, 

the notional values of the futures equivalent positions discussed in the previous paragraph are $3,266,900.00 for the 46.6667 Sep 2011 

contracts, $14,500,000.00 for the 200.0000 Nov 2011 contracts, and $3,999,750.00 for the 53.3333 Jan 2012 contracts.

Data records 26-27

Data records 26 and 27 (shown below) display the principal and counterparty positions resulting from a daily natural gas swap (swap K). This 

swap is transacted on August 31, 2011, and is solely priced off the published price of the Platts Gas Daily Henry Hub on September 01, 2011. 

Because the September NG contract delivers on September 01, 2011, the positions resulting from this daily swap would be Sep 2011 futures 

equivalents. Furthermore, although swap K is a daily swap, the particular day of its expiration is not included in the futures equivalent month 

and year field. Instead, the position resulting from this one particular swap would only be reported for a single reporting day.
6/1/2012, Page 41

As in previous examples, for the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent positions resulting from swap K assume on 

9/01/2011 that the price of the natural gas cash market survey was $4.5000 per MMBTU.

Data records 28-52

Data records 28-52 (shown below) display the same information as displayed in data records 1-27, which pertain to the positions resulting 

from swap transactions A-K, but on the following reporting day (9/02/2011) as they would be reported by swap dealer SD1. All of the data 

records are unchanged except data records 46 and 49, which correspond to data records 20 and 23. Additionally, data records 26 and 27 have 

no equivalent on 9/02/2011 because they represent positions from a daily swap (swap K), and the swap is no longer open on 9/02/2011 and 

therefore there are no associated positions.

Data records 47 and 50 show smaller principal and counterparty positions than shown on 9/01/2011 (in data records 20 and 23), for the reason 

that these swaps involved average pricing. Recall from the earlier discussion of swap J that the futures equivalent positions result from the Data

daily average settlements of multiple futures contract months in three calculation periods. On 9/02/2011, only the Sep-2011 futures equivalent 

position has changed relative to the day before; the Nov-2011 and Jan-2011 futures equivalent positions are the same as previously reported. 

The Sep-2011 futures equivalent position now corresponds to 13 of the 30 total pricing days that correspond to the first calculation period, 

and therefore the Sep-2011 futures equivalent position is 43.3333 contracts.

Further assume that the spot or futures settlement price of all reference prices is the same on 9/02/2011 as on 9/01/2011, and therefore there is 

no change in the notional value of the reported positions.

Data records 53-70

Data records 53-70 (shown below) display the position reports generated by clearing member CM1 for report date 9/01/2011 and 9/02/2011 

based on swap J. Assume CM1 has no other open paired swaps other than swap J. Recall that CM1 is the clearing member for both SD1 and 

CP_10, the ultimate counterparties to that cleared swap once they are matched at the trading venue.

As such, CM1 reports data records 53-55 and 62-64 for its agent positions, and the other data records pertain to the positions of the original 

counterparties to the swap, SD1 and CP_10. From the perspective of CM1, these two customers are the beneficial owners of positions traded 

and cleared, and they are identified using the 102S Swap Counterparty ID and Counterparty Name fields as established by CM1. Accordingly, 

CM1 will use a different 102S Identifier for SD1 than SD1 uses to identify itself; 102S Identifiers are created by and specific to each 

reporting entity, so this arrangement is expected. Similarly, CM1 uses a different 102S Identifier for its agent positions than SD1 used when 

reporting CM1 as a counterparty.

Data records 71-78 

Data records 71-78 (shown below) display positions of a clearing member (EF2) with its counterparty (BF1), as a result from Swap L, which 

is an uncleared swap. While many may casually refer to a product like this a spread swap, this product does not meet the definition of a 

“TwoComponentIntercommoditySpread” because it results in more than two exposures. As such, the positions resulting from this swap are 

designed as “Other” in the Position Type Indicator field.

While only the exposure of the CMX Gold portion of the swap renders this transaction a paired swap, consistent with the guidance provided 

above, the reporting entity, EF2 in this instance, could provide data records to the Commission that show both the gold and Eurodollar 

positions resulting from this inter-commodity spread transaction. As a result, swap L results in 8 data records for the first reporting day, 

September 27, 2011.

In Swap L, EF2 pays to BF1 the difference in Eurodollar contract settlements and BF1 pays to EF2 the difference in gold contract settlements. 

Since the notional quantity of the swap is $100,000,000 for each quarterly payment (delivery) and the contract size of the CMX Gold contract 

is 100 troy oz, EF2 has a position of long 559.9104 Dec 2013 and short 579.3743 Dec 2012 contracts, while BF1 holds the opposite positions 

(100,000,000 / (settlement price of GCZ12 * 100) and 100,000,000 / (settlement price of GCZ13 * 100)). 

Because the Eurodollar position records reported from this swap do not correspond to any contract listed in § 20.2, the positions are 

designated with the appropriate Price Reference Month and Year, instead of a Futures Equivalent Month and Year. For the calculation of 

notional values and futures equivalent positions, assume the settlement price for Dec 2012 is $1726.0000 per troy oz. and the settlement price 

for Dec 2013 is $1786.0000 per troy oz. Because of the prescribed position reporting methodology, the notional value of the positions 

resulting from this swap is much larger that the net exposure of this swap to each counterparty. This will be the case with most swaps that 

involve the difference between different prices. 

Data records 79-102 

Data records 79-102 (shown below) contain positions of a clearing member (EF1) with its counterparty (SD1), as a result from Swap M. 

Since this trade results in exposure for each calendar month of 2012, 24 data records (one for each combination of month and counterparty to 

the transaction) are transmitted to the Commission. Data records 79-102 simply show swap M from the perspective of CM1 acting as agent to 

its customer, SD1. SD1, as a reporting entity, would also be expected to provide reports on positions from swap M from its perspective as 

principal and with its clearing member CM1 as counterparty.

In this example, on September 1, 2011, the settlement price of NYMEX NG for the JAN 2012 – JUN 2012 contracts is $4.5000 per MMBtu. 

This example assumes that this price leads the option with a strike price of $4.5000 to have a delta factor of .8. The settlement price for JUL 

2012 – DEC 2012 is $4.2500. This led the option’s delta to be .4 for those months. Data

On September 1, 2011, EF1 has long exposure to each contract month of the NYMEX NG commodity and SD1 has short exposure. The nondelta adjusted position in each futures equivalent month is 25.0000. This is because each futures equivalent month has a notional quantity of 

250,000 MMBtu and the size of the NYMEX NG contract is 10,000 MMBtu.

To find the delta-adjusted positions, the reporting entity adjusted the non-delta adjusted position in each futures equivalent month by the 

appropriate delta factor for that month. For the JAN 2012 futures equivalent month, the calculation was 

([25.0000 non-delta adjusted position]*[.8(delta factor)] = [20.0000 delta-adjusted positions]).

As these options are European style, they cannot be exercised before the expiration date of the option. Therefore, EF1 and SD1 will continue 

to have their positions reported in the swaptions fields until the expiration of each option. 

Data records 103-106 

Data records 103-106 (shown below) display the position reports generated by swap dealer SD3 for report date 9/01/2011 as a result of swap 

N, which is a commodity index swap where all of the exposures generated from the swap are reported in separate data records. Swap N 

qualified as a commodity index transaction because its settlement is based on two distinct commodities, and the settlement does not involve 

the difference in price between those two commodities.

Because one of the two commodities included in this swap (jet fuel) is not represented in § 20.2, the value for the Commodity data element 

should indicate “Other” for those data records pertaining to jet fuel positions. The Commodity Reference Price should indicate the price series 

used for each commodity exposure. Additionally, all data records resulting from this swap should indicate that they are Index, as shown in the 

Position Type Indicator field.

The futures equivalent month for the jet fuel positions includes the indicator for the Price Reference Month of September, reflecting the fact 

that there is no futures equivalent contract listed in § 20.2 but that instead the pricing for the jet fuel component of this commodity index swap 

occurred during that calendar month.

Similarly to the abovementioned issue regarding the futures equivalent month, the long and short positions shown for the jet fuel components 

of this commodity index swap cannot be displayed as the number of lots of some contract listed in § 20.2. Instead, the notional size of that 

component of the index is to be reported. The units that commodity is customarily priced in should be displayed as well. In this case, the 

100,000 gallons of jet fuel used in the pricing of the commodity index swap are displayed in lieu of futures equivalent positions.

For the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent month and price reference month positions resulting from these swaps, 

assume on 9/01/2011 that the spot market price of heating oil was $3.1000 per gallon and the spot market price of jet fuel was $3.3000 per 

gallon.

Data records 107-110

Data records 107-110 (shown below) display the position records generated by CM1 for report date 9/1/2011 based on swap O, a Basis swap 

transacted on ICE and cleared at ICE Clear Europe Limited. As this swap is centrally executed and then cleared by CM1 on behalf of its 

customer Gas Company Inc, CM1 reports positions with the Agent and Customer affiliations. 

As per the guidance in the above note on reporting basis swaps, the Position Type Indicator should be marked with a 

‘TwoComponentLocationalBasis’ for all position records that are generated from this swap. It is recommended that reporting entities 

decompose the exposures generated from this swap into the relevant NYMEX NG and Houston Ship Channel natural gas positions.

For the calculation of the notional value of the futures equivalent positions resulting from these swaps, assume on 9/1/2011that the NYMEX 

natural gas contract settled at $3.5000 per MMBTU and the spot market price of natural gas at Houston Ship Channel was $3.6000 per 

MMBTU.

Data records 111-112 and 113-120

Data records 111-112 (shown below) display positions on 9/20/2011 of a swap dealer (SD5) and its Pension Fund counterparty in an 

uncleared commodity index swap (swap P) that is reported in units of the Diversified Commodity Index. Data records 113-120 (also shown 

below) display positions on the same reporting day resulting from the same swap transacted by the same counterparties, but instead display 

the resulting underlying positions of the Diversified Commodity Index in question, as reporting entities may choose to decompose and 

separately report the exposures from such products. 

In contrast to swap N, which was customized and privately-created and therefore not a commonly-know commodity index, swap P involves 

the Dow Jones-UBS Energy Total Return Sub-IndexSM (DJ-UBS CITREN; Bloomberg ticker: DJUBENTR), which meets the definition of a 

Diversified Commodity Index in § 20.1. The commodity components of this index are natural gas, crude oil, unleaded gasoline, and heating 

oil. Data records associated with this swap should indicate "IndexOrBasket" in the Position Type Indicator field.

Disclaimer: Please note that this example only makes reference to and discusses the name, Bloomberg ticker, and commodity components of 

a Dow Jones index product. The actual component weightings, settlement prices of underlying instruments, and index values are not 

referenced. Instead, this example makes use of hypothetical values for these variables, as shown in the table below. 

The base component weightings of the index in question are recalculated annually, and as such they are the same on all reporting days in 

2011. Assume that the published value of the index was 230.2678 on 9/20/2011. Each energy component is priced using the “lead future” 

contract, as defined by Dow Jones for the creation of this index. As such, on 9/20/2011 the index value is calculated using the November 

futures contract for all of the four energy commodity components of this index. However, when this index product is reported as a position in 

the full diversified index, the Price Reference Month would indicate September 2011, as this is the month during which the index position is 

held and the pricing occurs. If the index swap were to be held into additional calendar months, those Price Reference Months would also be 

reportable.

In this example, the counterparties to the swap have agreed to make the notional quantity of the swap 1000 times the value of the index. As 

such, when the exposures from the swap are decomposed for the 9/20/2011 report date, the following procedure is used. First, the value of the 

index on that day is multiplied by 1000, as per the terms of the swap. On 9/20/2011, this yields $230,267.8373.

On 9/20/2011, we know that (400.0000/1244.2577 = .3214) around 32% of the exposure results from the crude oil component of the swap. 

Note how the crude oil component was originally 30% of the index, but because the price of crude has risen on 9/20/2011 relative to the other 

original prices of energy components in the index, on this day the crude weighting in the index is above the initial value. Similarly, on 

9/20/2011, the index exposure for natural gas is around 29% (357.3529/1244.2577 = .2872), the index exposure for heating oil is around 19% 

(233.3333/1244.2577 = .1875), and the index exposure for unleaded gasoline is around 20% (253.5714/1244.2577 = .2040). 

The final step in converting these exposures into futures equivalent positions is to take the dollar value of the index exposure to each 

commodity and determine how many lots of the underlying § 20.2 contract could be purchased at that day's price. In other words, on 

9/20/2011, 32.14% of the $230,267.8373 in value of the index is exposed to crude oil. Since the crude price settled at $80.0000/bbl on that 

day, and the crude contract is denominated in 1000 bbl, the futures equivalent position in crude oil would be equal to 0.9253 futures 

equivalent November 2011 positions. Similarly, on 9/20/2011 the futures equivalent positions in November natural gas would be 1.6329 

contracts ((($230,267.8373 *0.2872)/$4.0500 per MMBTU)/10,000 MMBTU)). The futures equivalent position in November heating oil 

would be 0.2937 contracts ((($230,267.8373*0.1875)/$3.5000 per gallon/42,000 gallons)). The futures equivalent position in November 

unleaded gasoline would be 0.3147 contracts ((($230,267.8373*0.2038)/$3.5500 per gallon/42,000 gallons)).

http://www.fpml.org/ for more details) and the FIXML Position Report described in the FIX Protocol Global Technical Committee 

and Futures Industry Association, CFTC Large Trader Reporting for Commodities Swaps, Revision 1.5, January 14, 2012 (see 

http://www.fixprotocol.org/specifications/EP140 for more details).

ii. Mapping of Part 20 to FpML and FIXML

Please see Data Dictionary in Section II.

iii. Open Interest File Format

The only option for the open interest file format is a pipe-delimited text file. See Appendix C for the file layout. The field names 

provided in the Appendix C layout should be included as the first row in each text file.

iv. Interim Position Reporting Format

See Appendix B for file layouts for the pipe-delimited text files. The field names provided in the Appendix B layouts should be 

included as the first row in each text file. Please be aware that some of the data elements required to be reported under the Rule 

are actually composed of multiple (sometimes two or three) discrete data elements and are identified, and should be provided, as 

separate fields within the text file.

b. Electronic Data Transmission Procedures

The electronic formatted records will be transmitted to the Commission using Secure FTP.
6/1/2012, Page 68

i. Formatting Data for Transmission

The records will be consolidated into an XML formatted file following the FPML® Exposure Report, FIXML Position Report, 

or pipe-delimited text file as described in the previous sections. The file name for submission should be created in the 

following manner:

SWAPEXP_[ORGTYP]_[REPTYP]_[IDENT]_[YYYYMMDD].[FORMAT][.“TEST”]

Where:

ORGTYP:

can include both cleared and 

uncleared positions.

PSP

Paired Swap positions in accordance 

with regulation 20.3(b) for a 

Clearing Organization or regulation 

20.4(c) for a Swap Dealer or

OIUNCL

Please note, reporting entities may send their cleared and uncleared data in two distinct transmissions (files) provided they 

follow the Report Type naming convention above and use PSPCL and PSPUNCL or use OICL and OIUNCL as the REPTYP.

IDENT:

This field is the 3-5 character identifier provided by the CFTC during the account registration process.

YYYYMMDD:

This field is the Year (4 digits), Month and day of the report date.

FORMAT:

TEST:

This field, if present (use the word “TEST”) tells the CFTC that this data is for testing purposes only, and will not be loaded 

into a production system. We will load the test data into our test systems, and can optionally provide feedback regarding the 
6/1/2012, Page 70

structure and content of the file at the reporting entities request.

As an example, if your firm’s identifier was ABC, and you are a Clearing Organization reporting paired swap positions in 

accordance with regulation 20.3 for September 22nd, 2011 and you are using the FpML record format, your file name would be 

“SWAPEXP_CO_PSP_ABC_20110922.fpml”. If you are the same Clearing Organization and reporting End of Day settlement 

prices data via FpML, your file name would be “SWAPEXP_CO_EOD_ABC_20110922.fpml”. 

Data providers can test their submissions by appending the string “TEST” to the end of their file names. Using the example above, 

if your firm’s identifier is “ABC”, and you are a Clearing Organization testing the reporting of paired swap positions for 

September 22nd, 2011 using FpML your file name would be “SWAPEXP_CO_PSP_ABC_20110922.fpml.TEST”. If you are the 

same Clearing Organization and testing the reporting of End of Day settlement prices data via FpML, your file name would be 

“SWAPEXP_CO_EOD_ABC_20110922.fpml.TEST”. Your firm can contact our Technical Support representative at 

SwapsTechSupport@cftc.gov to verify the results of test data you have submitted.

ii. Assembly and Compression

After assembling the data file, it should be compressed using the GZIP utility. The GZIP utility is freely available at 

http://www.gzip.org. Following the example provided above, the zipped files names would be 

SWAPEXP_CO_POS_ABC_20110922.gz and SWAPEXP_CO_EOD_ABC_20110922.gz. The file will then be transmitted 

to the CFTC using Secure FTP. The instructions for registering for a Secure FTP account follow.

iii. Secure FTP Account Registration

The compressed files will be submitted to the CFTC via Secured File Transfer Protocol (SFTP). Many entities providing Part 

20 reporting already have FTP or SFTP accounts. Reporting entities with SFTP accounts can continue to use those accounts 

for Part 20 reporting. New reporters who do not already have an SFTP account, or reporters who only use non-secure FTP 

accounts, must request a Secure FTP account from the CFTC. The following steps describe the process for that request.

Registration Step 1:

The user will browse to the Account Creation Page on the Commission’s website 

(https://services.cftc.gov/CreateCFTCAccount/CreateLoginAccount.aspx). They will be presented with a CFTC Usage Agreement 

for review.

The user will be required to confirm that they have read the agreement and agree to abide by its terms by clicking the checkbox 

and pressing the “Agree” button.
6/1/2012, Page 71
6/1/2012, Page 72

Registration Step 2:

The user will be presented with the Account Creation page where they will be asked to supply:

 First Name – The first name of the user requesting the account

 Last Name – The last name (or surname) of the user requesting the account

 Company Name – The Company that will be supplying the data to the CFTC

 Email Address – The email address of the contact. The email address must be from the domain that will be submitting data; the 

Reporting Entities domain. Third party email domains (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, gmail) will not be accepted.

 Contact Telephone Number – The requestor’s phone number, in case CFTC will need to confirm the user via a phone call.

 Contact FAX Number (not required)

Once the user has submitted the data, the request will be passed to CFTC’s Office of Data and Technology for approval.
6/1/2012, Page 73

Registration Step 3:

Once the account creation is approved, the user will be sent an email with a link to confirm the request. This email will include the threeletter Alpha Code that must be used for all data submissions made by this company to the CFTC.

Clicking the link (or posting the URL into a browser) will bring the user to the account confirmation screen where they will be asked to 

confirm the account creation request by typing in the three-letter Alpha Code supplied in the email.
6/1/2012, Page 74

Once the user has confirmed with the Alpha Code, the page will tell them that their request has been submitted.

Registration Step 4:

The user will receive two follow-on emails from the CFTC. Each email will address guidelines for using this account. One email will 

contain the user’s new ID. It will also contain instructions on converting their FTP Account to a Secure FTP Account. All entities who 

are providing Part 20 reporting must use Secure FTP to transmit their data.
6/1/2012, Page 75

Registration Step 5:

All reporting entities must exchange their Public Keys with the CFTC to activate their Secure FTP account. Please send your Public Key 

to FTPSupport@cftc.gov.

The second email will contain the user’s new password for the FTP account.

iv. File Transmission

Connect to the CFTC FTP site at traders.cftc.gov, and login using your account and password. At this point, the compressed file can 

be transferred using normal FTP commands. 

Upon file receipt, software at the CFTC will ingest the file through our firewall and begin processing of the data. 
6/1/2012, Page 76

v. File Templates

Templates for interim position reporting and the open interest files are provided on the secure FTP site. Layouts for both the pipe 

delimited files are outlined in Appendices B and C.

c. Technical Support

Please forward questions regarding format, content, and transmission of Part 20 data submissions to the CFTC at 

SwapsTechSupport@cftc.gov.
