SEC Amends Proposal on Duties and Core Principles of Security-Based Swap Data Repository (Fed. Reg.)

The SEC's proposed amendments to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13n-4 ("Duties and Core Principles of Security-Based Swap Data Repository") were published in the Federal Register. The proposed rule amendments would implement the conditional Exchange Act requirement that security-based swap data repositories make data available to certain regulators and other authorities, and also would set forth a conditional exemption from the statutory indemnification requirement associated with that provision which grants regulatory access. Comments on the proposed amendments must be submitted by October 29, 2015.
