Industry Filing  IF 16-003

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is requesting public comments on regulation 39.5(b) swap submissions from registered derivatives clearing organizations, identified with “Public Comment Requested.”   Comments may pertain specifically to a single submission or generally to several or all submissions.  The Commission is particularly interested in comments that provide data and analysis and that discuss the swaps in terms of the five factors that the Commission is required to consider in determining whether to issue a clearing requirement determination under regulation 39.5(b)(3)(ii).

If the Commission decides to propose a clearing requirement determination for any of the swaps covered by the submissions, then the Commission will invite further public comment in response to a notice of proposed rulemaking.
