SEC to Reopen Comment Period for Position Reporting of Large Security-Based Swap Positions
The proposed rule includes different reporting thresholds for SBSs connected to debt securities and SBSs connected to equity securities. Under the proposed rule, any person with an SBS position that exceeds its particular threshold would be required to promptly file with the SEC a schedule disclosing the following:
- the applicable SBS position
- positions in any security or loan underlying the SBS position
- any other instrument relating to the underlying security or loan or group or index of securities or loans
Should the proposed rule be adopted, the SEC would make available to the public all disclosures received to enhance transparency and oversight in the SBS market.
Interested parties may submit feedback on the reopening during the public comment period, which will remain open for 30 days following publication in the Federal Register, or August 21, 2023, whichever is later. For further details, including ways to respond, refer to the Reopening of Comment Period for Position Reporting of Large Security-Based Swap Positions proposed rule on the SEC’s website.
