CFTC’s Division Of Swap Dealer And Intermediary Oversight Issues Time-Limited No-Action Transition For March 1, 2017 Compliance Date For Variation Margin And No-Action Relief From Minimum Transfer Amount Provisions - Time-Limited No-Action Letter Allows For A Transition Period To Comply With New Variation Margin Requirements

Date 13/02/2017

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s (CFTC) Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight (DSIO) today issued a time-limited no-action letter stating that, from March 1, 2017 to September 1, 2017, DSIO will not recommend an enforcement action against a swap dealer (SD) for failure to comply with the variation margin requirements for swaps that are subject to a March 1, 2017 compliance date. The DSIO no-action letter does not postpone the March 1, 2017 compliance date for variation margin, rather it allows market participants a grace period to come into compliance. Without a proper transition, DSIO believes there could be a significant impact on the ability to hedge positions for pension funds, asset managers, and insurance companies that manage Americans’ retirement savings and financial security. This sort of phased compliance has been used many times in the implementation of the swaps rules contained in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
