Joint Dissenting Statement Concerning Modifications To Previously-Adopted Regulation SBSR, SEC Commissioners Daniel M. Gallagher And Michael S. Piwowar, Feb. 11,

Date 11/02/2015

On January 14, 2015, a majority of the Commission adopted Regulation SBSR over our dissents. These new rules, however, were only made publicly available today. The reason for this delay is that shortly after the Commission vote, SEC staff discovered that an extensive comment letter related to Regulation SBSR was inadvertently left out of the publicly available comment file. As result, this letter was neither considered by staff in developing their recommendation, nor published on the SEC’s website for the benefit of the general public. This comment letter covered a range of key issues in Regulation SBSR, and was submitted by an organization whose membership will be responsible for reporting nearly all security-based swaps subject to reporting under Regulation SBSR.
