Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Rostin Behnam Regarding Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking On Margin Requirements For Uncleared Swaps For Swap Dealers And Major Swap Participants

Date 25/06/2020

Today’s notice of proposed rulemaking (“NPRM”) is necessitated as a result of global policy and domestic regulatory considerations to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on potential market disruption that could result from a large number of entities simultaneously coming into compliance with the initial margin (or “IM”) requirements of the CFTC Margin Rule.[1] In our attempts to remain consistent with revisions to the BCBS/IOSCO international framework’s implementation schedule, we have now created an additional compliance phase, moving from five to six, and postponing full compliance by one year to September 1, 2021.[2] This seems reasonable, save for the fact that our last action to provide relief for those who would have to come into compliance in September of this year has resulted in a reuniting of phases five and six, reintroducing the same set of concerns regarding potential market disruptions we sought to avoid. Accordingly, we are here today with a new NPRM to further postpone the compliance date for the final phase, phase six, to September 1, 2022.
