  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dan M. Berkovitz Regarding Swap Clearing Requirement Exemptions: Final Rule Amendments

    Date 02/11/2020

    I am voting for the final rule codifying certain limited exemptions from the swap clearing requirement that currently exist through Commission guidance or staff no action relief.  The exemptions are consistent with longstanding Commission policies.  Analysis of available historical data shows that the number and notional amount of swaps that would be exempted are relatively limited and not likely to materially impact systemic risk.  Furthermore, the swaps exempted from clearing will be subject to uncleared swap margin requirements, if applicable, thereby mitigating the risks of not clearing these swaps.

  • Statement Of CFTC Chairman Heath P. Tarbert in Support Of Final Amendments To The Part 50 Clearing Requirements

    Date 02/11/2020

    I am pleased to support today’s final rule amending the CFTC’s Part 50 rules, which implement the swap clearing requirement of section 2(h)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act (the Clearing Requirement).  The final rule concurrently achieves two ends—it demonstrates the CFTC’s evolving philosophy on comity and deference towards our international counterparts while alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens on small domestic institutions that look nothing like Wall Street banks.

  • Supporting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Brian D. Quintenz Regarding Swap Clearing Requirement Exemptions

    Date 02/11/2020

    I am pleased to support this final rule, which codifies existing relief from the Commission’s requirement that certain commonly traded interest rate swaps and credit default swaps be cleared following their execution.  The new exemptions may be elected by several classes of counterparties that may enter into these swaps, namely:  sovereign nations; central banks; “international financial institutions” of which sovereign nations are members; bank holding companies, and savings and loan holding companies, whose assets total no more than $10 billion; and community development financial institutions recognized by the U.S. Treasury Department.  Today’s final rule notes that many of these entities have actually relied on existing relief, electing not to clear swaps that are generally subject to the clearing requirement.  I strongly support the policy of international “comity” described in the final rule, recognizing that sovereign nations and their instrumentalities should generally not be subject to the Commission’s regulations.  I trust that by issuing this rule, the United States, the Federal Reserve, and other U.S. government instrumentalities will receive the same treatment in foreign jurisdictions.
