CFTC Division Of Swap Dealer And Intermediary Oversight Issues No-Action Letter Regarding The De Minimis Threshold For Swaps With Utility Special Entities

Date 21/03/2014

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (Division) issued a letter today providing no-action relief from certain requirements in the de minimis exception from the definition of the term “swap dealer.” The no-action relief allows an entity to deal in utility operations-related swaps, as that term is defined in the letter, and not be required to register as a swap dealer, provided that the aggregate gross notional amount of swap dealing activity does not exceed $8 billion per year.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia, Revised Relief From The De Minimis Threshold For Certain Swaps With Utility Special Entities

Date 21/03/2014

I am pleased that the Commission staff has issued this revised relief to exclude utility operations-related swaps from the calculation of the de minimis threshold. This relief is a step in the right direction to address the impact on certain utilities that are special entities that were inadvertently caught up by the Commission’s rules. I have long called for such relief. Although my preferred approach would be to address this issue through a rulemaking that is subject to the Administrative Procedure Act, I appreciate the Commission staff’s effort to address some of the concerns that these entities have raised with the Commission. If the Commission is serious about helping end-users, I challenge the Commission to complete a new rule before the second anniversary of the petition seeking an amendment of Commission regulation 1.3(ggg)(4) (i.e., July 12, 2014).
