On April 22, the CFTC issued two no action letters providing relief intended to support the development of swap execution facilities (SEFs) and the trading of swaps on SEFs and designated contract markets (DCMs). The first no action letter provides relief to SEFs and DCMs from regulations to allow for the correction of trades voided as a result of clerical or operational errors or errors discovered after a trade has been cleared. The second no action letter provides relief to SEFs from certain requirements concerning trade confirmations required from SEFs for non-cleared swaps. Release. No Action Letter #1. No Action Letter #2.
