Paperwork Burden on Exempt DCOs
If you run a derivatives clearing organization seeking or maintaining an exemption from DCO registration, the CFTC estimates an annual paperwork burden of 335 hours in total. The agency estimates 10 respondents, averaging 34 hours per respondent per year, with reporting frequencies that can be daily, quarterly, yearly, or on occasion, and states there are no capital or O&M costs.
Information Used to Grant Exemptions
The CFTC will collect information to decide whether a clearing organization qualifies for an exemption from registration as a Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) for clearing proprietary swaps for U.S. persons and futures commission merchants (FCMs). The information will also be used to evaluate continued eligibility, review compliance with exemption conditions, and conduct oversight of U.S. persons and swaps cleared through the exempt DCO.
