Access to Data Obtained by Security-Based Swap Data Repositories and Exemption From Indemnification Requirement

Pursuant to section 763(i) of Title VII ("Title VII') of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act'), the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission') is proposing amendments to rule 13n-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act') related to regulatory access to security-based swap data held by security-based swap data repositories. 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 would set forth a conditional exemption from the statutory indemnification requirement associated with that regulatory access provision.
