Ongoing Reporting by 27,000 Market Players
The SEC is extending Regulation SBSR so about 27,000 entities must keep reporting security-based swap information to registered data repositories or the Commission. The Commission estimates this reporting creates about 3,173,444 hours of work and $51,162,200 in costs each year.
Platform Duty to Report Cleared Swaps
Under Rule 901(a)(1) of Regulation SBSR, a trading platform must report to a registered security-based swap data repository any security-based swap executed on the platform that will be submitted to clearing. Platforms that operate these trading venues must keep meeting these reporting steps under the extension.
Clearing Agencies Must Report Counterparty Swaps
Under Rule 901(a)(2)(i) of Regulation SBSR, a registered clearing agency must report to a registered SDR any security-based swap to which it is a counterparty. Clearing agencies must continue to submit these reports under the extended collection.
Public Dissemination Requirement for SDRs
Regulation SBSR requires registered security-based swap data repositories to publicly disseminate transaction, volume, and pricing information for security-based swaps. Registered SDRs must continue those public dissemination activities under the extended information collection.
