The Securities and Exchange Commission voted yesterday to propose new rules for security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap market participants. The proposed rules cover recordkeeping, reporting, and notification requirements for security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants and would establish additional recordkeeping requirements for broker-dealers to account for their security-based swap activities.
The rulemaking is required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which authorizes the SEC and other regulators to put in place a comprehensive framework to regulate the over-the-counter swaps and security-based swaps markets.
The SEC will seek public comment on the proposed rules for 60 days following their publication in the Federal Register.
