Defining Security-Based Swap Dealers And Major Security-Based Swap Participants By SEC Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar
Today, the Commission considers adopting our first final rules under Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act. Title VII mandates that the SEC and CFTC promulgate rules to provide comprehensive oversight to the over-the-counter derivatives market, which contributed significantly to the recent financial crisis. Today’s rule, to be issued jointly with the CFTC, would define which entities must register with the SEC as security-based swap dealers or major security-based swap participants, and which entities must register with the CFTC as swap dealers or major swap participants.

Opening Statement, Open Meeting On Two Final Rules And Two Interim Final Rules - CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia
I would like to start my remarks today by personally thanking the teams that are about to present to the Commission two final rules and two interim final rules, which implement various provisions of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”). I appreciate the tireless hours, days, and months that Commission staff has dedicated to writing today’s rules, which when combined are over 700 pages in length. Commission staff has had to review hundreds of comment letters, meet with dozens of interested persons, tackle tough legal issues, and, in the case of the final and interim final entities definition rules, coordinate with staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and regularly consult with staff of the Federal Reserve Board. Preparing these rules in advance of today’s open meeting was no small feat.

Statement Of Dissent By CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia - Further Definition Of “Swap Dealer,” “Security-Based Swap Dealer,” “Major Swap Participant,” “Major Security-Based Swap Participant,” And “Eligible Contract Participant”[1]
I respectfully dissent from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (the “Commission” or “CFTC”) approval today of the Entities Rule, which is a joint final and interim final rule with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). 2 I have a number of concerns with each definition in the CFTC Entities Rule. However, this dissent focuses on the “swap dealer” definition.

"Architecture" - Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton Regarding Entities Definitions Final Rule And Commodity Options Final Rule And Interim Final Rule, Washington, Dc
This morning we are considering two rules. While both are important, the final entities rule is a key component of our regulatory architecture. With this rule—along with the products definition rule when that is done (and I certainly hope that is soon)—we will finally have in place two of the most critically important pieces of the structure for the new regulatory regime of heretofore unregulated over-the-counter markets—markets that were part and parcel of the economic meltdown.
