The CFTC announced that it was extending the comment period for the proposed rule on capital requirements applicable to swap dealers and major swap participants. In addition to proposing minimum capital and financial reporting requirements for swap dealers and major swap participants, the proposed rule would also establish specific capital requirements for futures commission merchants that engage in swaps or security-based swaps that are not cleared by a clearing organization. The original comment period was due to expire on March 16, 2017. The new comment period will expire on May 15, 2017.
