The Division of Market Oversight is issuing a no-action letter that extends the relief provided in Letter No. 15-60 by permitting swap execution facilities (“SEFs”) to provide for the use of a non-Order Book trading system or platform to execute block trades for swaps that are intended to be cleared, subject to certain conditions.
Proper reporting of swaps is an important obligation of SDs and MSPs. Firms should ensure that they have the systems and controls to properly report and to timely identify and correct any errors. Firms should periodically test their systems to ensure that the information is being properly transmitted. Further, any changes in systems that could have an effect on proper reporting should be tested and verified prior to any such changes.
