Statement Of Concurrence Of CFTC Commissioner Rostin Behnam Regarding Segregation Of Assets Held As Collateral In Uncleared Swap Transactions; Amendments

Date 24/07/2018

I respectfully concur with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (the Commission or CFTC) approval of its proposed rule (Proposal) regarding amendments to subpart L of the Commission’s Regulations (Segregation of Assets Held as Collateral in Uncleared Swap Transactions” consisting of Regulations 23.700 through 23.704), which implement Section 4s(l) of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA or the Act). While I have strong reservations about the Commission’s proposed interpretation of CEA Section 4s(l) and its slash and burn approach to “simplify” requirements for swap dealers (SDs) and major swap participants (MSPs) absent meaningful consideration of the impact on swap counterparties, I am hopeful that the Proposal’s solicitation of comments on these key points will produce a balanced record from which to adopt a final rule that more precisely simplifies the current requirements and provides tailored regulatory relief.

Date 24/07/2018

After more than four years of administering the final rules in subpart L of Part 23 (Commission Regulations 23.700-704), CFTC staff have observed that the detailed requirements of these regulations have been difficult and burdensome for swap dealers to satisfy.

Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Rostin Behnam Regarding The Position Limits And Position Accountability For Security Futures Products Proposed Rule

Date 24/07/2018

I respectfully concur with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s approval of its proposed rule regarding Position Limits and Position Accountability for Security Futures Products (Proposal). I commend staff on their hard work in producing this Proposal, and for their thoughtful responses to my questions. I look forward to hearing from market participants and other stakeholders regarding the amendments to the existing position limits rules for security futures products. In particular, I will be interested in comments regarding the appropriateness of increasing the default level of equity security futures products position limits from 13,500 contracts to 25,000 contracts. While today’s Proposal only would amend the Commission’s Part 41 rules regarding security futures products, I nonetheless encourage market participants and interested stakeholders to consider how the Proposal might impact or interplay with the Commission’s position limits rules in Part 150 and any future amendments to them.
