Statement At Open Meeting To Adopt The Joint Final Rule, Joint Interim Final Rule, And Final Interpretations Regarding The Further Definition Of "Swap Dealer," "Security-Based Swap Dealer," "Major Swap Participant," "Major Security-Based Swap Participant," and "Eligible Contract Participant" By SEC Commissioner Daniel M. Gallagher
Thank you, Chairman Schapiro. And I want to particularly thank you for your willingness to reconsider, at my request, certain fundamental aspects of this rule even though you could have easily proceeded without my support. I also want to thank the staffs of the Division of Trading and Markets and the Division of Risk, Strategy and Financial Innovation for their collaborative effort on this important rule. I want to particularly commend Robert Cook and Craig Lewis, the Directors of the two Divisions, for their leadership in producing the rule that the staffs of the Divisions are recommending to the Commission today, and I believe that it is particularly fitting that the Divisions are presenting this recommendation jointly given the success of that collaboration. I also want to thank Robert’s counsel, Nathaniel Stankard, for his extreme efforts and superlative work product which, in the critical last phase of this process, had a major impact on this rulemaking. And I also want to thank Brian Bussey for convincing me that this rule could actually become worth supporting.

Opening Statement, Twenty-Sixth Open Meeting To Consider Final Rules Pursuant To Dodd-Frank Act - CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers
Thank you Mr. Chairman. I would like to thank the rulemaking teams for their hard work and diligence in crafting these rules. We have before us a final rule on commodity options, an interim final rule establishing a trade option exemption, and the critical, and long-awaited final rules further defining Swap Dealer, Major Swap Participant, and Eligible Contract Participant. These entity definitions (along with the upcoming product definitions) are key components of the foundation upon which the new Dodd-Frank regulatory regime is built. All of the team members deserve our gratitude, but I would specifically like to recognize the entity definition teams from both here and the SEC that have worked together over the past 18 months through many policy challenges to get this rule in final form as well as being sensitive to the concerns of ten individual Commissioners. You have all done a tremendous job.

Statement At Open Meeting To Adopt The Joint Final Rule, Joint Interim Final Rule, And Final Interpretations Regarding The Further Definition Of “Swap Dealer,” “Security-Based Swap Dealer,” “Major Swap Participant,” “Major Security-Based Swap Participant,” and “Eligible Contract Participant” By SEC Commissioner Troy A. Paredes
Thank you, Chairman Schapiro.
I often boil down what we do as regulators to this: We draw regulatory lines that influence – and sometimes definitively determine – the economic activity that can and will occur. The hard part is deciding where to draw the lines because every option we face when deciding whether and how to regulate has both costs and benefits associated with it. It should come as no surprise, then, that there can be disagreement over where to draw the regulatory lines that establish how far the government will reach into the private sector and how heavy the government’s hand will be.

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.
