SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on
this collection of information was published on August 7, 2015 (80 FR
47477).
Title: Swap Data Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements (OMB
Control No. 3038-0096). This is a request for extension of a currently
approved information collection.
Abstract: Section 727 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'') specifically required that
each swap subject to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's
jurisdiction be reported to a newly-created registered entity, the swap
data repository. Section 728 of the Dodd-Frank Act specifically
required the Commission to establish standards for swap data
recordkeeping and reporting, including the data elements to be
collected and maintained by swap data repositories for each swap.
Section 729 of the Dodd-Frank Act required that at least one
counterparty to each swap have an obligation to report data concerning
the swap and provided for data reporting to the Commission for swaps
not accepted by a swap data repository. Pursuant to this mandate, the
Commission adopted 17 CFR part 45 on December 20, 2011, to establish
swap data recordkeeping and reporting requirements. This ICR concerns
the collections of information required by 17 CFR part 45.
The Commission estimated that approximately 30,210 entities would
be affected by this ICR. That number was based on the current estimate
of the total number of swap data repositories, swap execution
facilities, designated contract markets, derivatives clearing
organizations, swap dealers, major swap participants and other swap
counterparties. The Commission did not receive any comments regarding
the burden estimated or any other aspect of this ICR.
Burden Statement: The total annual time burden for this ICR is
estimated to be 445,910 hours. This estimate includes the time to
comply with swap data recordkeeping and reporting requirements codified
in 17 CFR part 45. Provisions of Commission Regulations Sec. Sec.
45.2, 45.3, 45.4, 45.5, 45.6, 45.7, and 45.14 result in information
collection requirements within the meaning of the PRA. To the extent
that the recordkeeping and reporting requirements codified in 17 CFR
part 45 overlap with the requirements of other rulemakings for which
the Commission prepared and submitted an information collection burden
estimate to OMB, the burden associated with the requirements are not
being accounted for in this ICR to avoid unnecessary duplication of
information collection burdens.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Swap data repositories, swap
execution facilities, designated contract markets, derivatives clearing
organizations, swap dealers, major swap participants and other swap
counterparties (i.e., non-swap dealer/non-major swap participant
counterparties).
Estimated Number of Respondents: 30,210.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 445,910 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Ongoing.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Dated: October 19, 2015
Robert N. Sidman,
Deputy Secretary of the Commission.
