SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Reporting, Recordkeeping, and 

Daily Trading Records Requirements 

For Swap Dealers and Major Swap 

Participants (OMB Control No. 3038– 

0087). This is a request for an extension 

of a currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: On April 3, 2012, the 

Commission adopted Commission 

regulations 23.201 through 23.205 

(Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Daily 

Trading Records Requirements For 

Swap Dealers and Major Swap 

Participants) 1 pursuant to sections 

4s(f) 2 and 4s(g) 3 of the Commodity 

Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’).4 Commission 

regulations 23.201 through 23.205 

require, among other things, swap 

dealers (‘‘SD’’) 5 and major swap 

participants (‘‘MSP’’) 6 to maintain 

transaction and position records of their 

swaps (including daily trading records) 

and to maintain specified business 

records (including records related to the 

governance and financial status of the 

swap dealer or major swap participant, 

complaints received by such SD or MSP 

and such SD or MSP’s marketing and 

sales materials). They also require SDs 

and MSPs to report certain swap 

transaction data to swap data 

repositories, to satisfy certain real time 

public reporting requirements, and to 

maintain records of information 

reported to swap data depositories and 

for real time reporting purposes.7 The 

Commission believes that the 

information collection obligations 

imposed by Commission regulations 

23.201 through 23.205 are necessary to 

implement sections 4s(f) and 4s(g) of the 

CEA, including ensuring that each SD 

and MSP maintains the required records 

of their business activities and an audit 

trail sufficient to conduct 

comprehensive and accurate trade 

reconstruction. 

Burden Statement: The Commission 

is revising its estimate of the burden for 

this collection to reflect the current 

number of registered SDs and MSPs. 

Accordingly, the respondent burden for 

this collection is estimated to be as 

follows: 

Number of Registrants: 105. 

Estimated Average Burden Hours per 

Registrant: 2,096. 

Estimated Aggregate Burden Hours: 

220,080. 

Frequency of Recordkeeping/Thirdparty Disclosure: Daily, or as applicable. 

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

Dated: January 27, 2016. 

Robert N. Sidman, 

Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
