SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency

Title: Swap Data Recordkeeping and 

Reporting Requirements: Pre-Enactment 

and Transition Swaps (OMB Control No. 

3038–0089). This is a request for 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: Section 723 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) 

directed the Commission to adopt rules 

providing for the reporting of data 

pertaining to swaps entered into before 

the date of enactment of the Dodd-Frank 

Act (‘‘pre-enactment swaps’’) and swaps 

entered into on or after the date of 

enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act but 

prior to the compliance date specified in 

the CFTC’s final swap data reporting 

rules (‘‘transition swaps’’). On May 17, 

2012, the CFTC adopted regulation 46, 

which imposes recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements relating to preenactment and transition swaps. This 

ICR concerns the collections of 

information required by 17 CFR part 46. 

Commission staff estimate that 

approximately 30,125 entities, including 

swap dealers, major swap participants, 

and swap counterparties that are neither 

swap dealers nor major swap 

participants, are affected by this ICR. 

The Commission did not receive any 

comments regarding the burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this ICR. 

Burden Statement: Commission staff 

estimate that the total annual time 

burden for this ICR is 18,903 hours. 

Commission staff estimate that the total 

annual cost for this ICR is $1,436,258. 

The time burden estimate represents the 

annual burden that swap dealers, major 

swap participants, and swap 

counterparties that are neither swap 

dealers nor major swap participants 

incur to operate and maintain swap 

recordkeeping and reporting systems to 

facilitate the recordkeeping and 

reporting of pre-enactment and 

transition swaps. Commission staff 

calculated the time burden by 

estimating the burden incurred by 

respondents to operate and maintain 

swap data recordkeeping and reporting 

systems and then estimating the portion 

of that burden associated with preenactment and transition swaps. 

Commission staff calculated the cost 

burden by multiplying the estimated 

time burden by an estimated 

appropriate hourly wage rate of $75.98. 

Commission staff derived the estimated 

appropriate hourly wage rate by 

averaging the salaries and bonuses of 

relevant professions reported in the 

SIFMA Report on Management & 

Professional Earnings in the Securities 

Industry 2013. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap 

dealers, Major Swap Participants, and 

other counterparties to a swap 

transaction (i.e., end-user, non-swap 

dealer/non-major swap participant 

counterparties). 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

30,125. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 18,903 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,436,258. 

Frequency of Collection: Ongoing. 

(Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) 

Dated: January 27, 2016.

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
