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

    Date 12/10/2012

    Today, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight is issuing a letter providing temporary no-action relief from certain requirements in the de minimis exception from the definition of the term swap dealer. The no-action relief would allow non-financial entities that are active in the physical energy markets to deal in swaps with publicly-owned, government-owned or federal agency utilities with an aggregate gross notional amount of up to $800 million per year, and not be required to register as swap dealers.

  • Statement Regarding Commission Relief Allows CME Market Participants To Transition Trading Activity Under More Reasonable Timeline, CFTC Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia

    Date 12/10/2012

    Today the Commission has issued relief to energy and agriculture commodities traders to allow them to transition to futures markets and provide relief until the end of the year from counting their positions in exempt and agricultural products in determining whether or not they qualify as a swap dealer. Despite coming at the 11th hour, I am supportive of providing this relief as broad new Dodd-Frank regulations come into effect today. This relief will allow market participants in the CME market to transition their trading activity to futures markets under a more reasonable timeline. The fact that market participants are fleeing the Commission’s swap regulations is proof that the Commission has not developed clear and cost-effective rules. I will work to ensure that there is a smooth transition for market participants. The Commission must proceed in a reasonable manner to accommodate this transition to the futures markets and continue to serve its fundamental role of hedging commercial risk.
