The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) is proposing regulations to implement Title VII and Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Proposed regulations would establish the regulatory standards for compliance with derivatives clearing organization (DCO) Core Principles C (Participant and Product Eligibility), D (Risk Management), E (Settlement Procedures), F (Treatment of Funds), G (Default Rules and Procedures), and I (System Safeguards). For DCOs that are designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council as systemically important DCOs (SIDCOs), the Commission is proposing heightened standards in the area of system safeguards supporting business continuity and disaster recovery and a provision that would implement the Commission’s special enforcement authority over SIDCOs.
