Statement At Open Meeting On Consideration Of Whether To Adopt Rule Of Practice 194 And To Propose Rules Regarding Risk Mitigation Techniques For Uncleared Security-Based Swaps, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Dec. 19, 2018

Date 26/12/2018

The two recommendations that we are considering today reflect important steps in implementing the security-based swap dealer regulatory framework mandated by Congress in Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act. Over the past year, under the direction of Chairman Clayton, this Commission has taken significant steps toward standing up this long-overdue regulatory framework. Under his leadership, the staff has redoubled its efforts to coordinate and consult with the CFTC staff on a broad range of Title VII issues and has looked for areas where harmonization with the CFTC may be feasible. The Commission has executed an updated memorandum of understanding with the CFTC expressly addressing cooperation and the exchange of information involving swaps and security-based swaps. In October, we reopened for comment our capital, margin, and segregation rules to provide the public with an additional opportunity to offer their views on one of the most central—and complex—elements of the Title VII regulatory framework. I know that the staff is putting in long hours even during this holiday season to review comments received, meet with commenters, and grapple with the remaining issues that need to be addressed as we move to finalize the remaining rules.
