Opening Statement, Seventh Open Meeting to Consider Final Rules, Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act
Commissioner Jill E. Sommers
December 20, 2011--Thank you Mr. Chairman. And, as always, I thank the teams who have worked so diligently on the final rules we are considering today.
Today we are considering very important data, recordkeeping, and reporting rules that are critical to ensuring that swap market activity is transparent to regulators and market participants alike. The rules we are voting on today seek to strike a balance between obtaining necessary and timely market data while attempting to minimize the associated costs and burdens on markets and market participants. Make no mistake, these rules certainly have costs associated with them, but swap data recordkeeping and reporting are mandated by Dodd-Frank. Our job as regulators is to understand that legislative mandate, to identify the regulatory objectives that will give effect to that mandate, and set out to achieve those objectives in the least costly and burdensome way. For the swap data recordkeeping and reporting rules to function properly, we need to ensure there is consistency among domestic and international regulators when it comes to unique swap identifiers, unique product identifies, and legal entity identifiers.
