Chapter 1
Summary
1.1 In November 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England
(Bank) consulted on proposals to amend the framework for derivatives reporting under the UK version of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (UK EMIR).
1.2 The proposals aimed to align the UK derivatives reporting framework with international
guidance issued by the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (CPMI-IOSCO), where appropriate, to ensure a more globally consistent dataset.
1.3 We also proposed measures relating to mandatory delegated reporting requirements,
counterparty notifications, registration and reconciliations processes, and the use of XML schemas and global identifiers.
1.4 These proposals aimed to provide clarity to counterparties and Trade Repositories
(TRs), including on areas where there are discrepancies on how certain data fields are reported.
1.5 The FCA proposed new targeted requirements for TRs in relation to registration and
reconciliation processes, to streamline the process for registration, ensure consistency of reporting and improve overall data quality.
1.6 These proposals aimed to ensure a high-quality derivatives dataset. This is necessary
to allow us to form an accurate and appropriate view of the market and to fulfil our statutory objectives more effectively. A harmonised derivatives dataset would also help to facilitate effective systemic risk and financial stability monitoring in a more globally consistent manner.
1.7 This joint Policy Statement (PS) summarises the feedback received by both the FCA and
the Bank to CP21/31, and our response. It also sets out our final rules and approach to the supporting guidance required to support implementation of these proposals. Who this affects
1.8 This PS will primarily affect:

• counterparties in scope of the reporting requirements under UK EMIR,
• TRs registered, or recognised, under UK EMIR,
• third party service providers who offer reporting services to counterparties subject
  to UK reporting under EMIR.
  1.9 This PS may also be of interest to trade associations, law firms and consultancy firms,
  and to authorities in other Group of 20 (G20) jurisdictions who are in the process of implementing, or considering, similar changes to their derivatives reporting regimes.

The wider context of this policy statement Institutional arrangements
1.10 The FCA and Bank share supervisory responsibilities for UK EMIR.
1.11 The FCA and Bank consulted jointly on proposals for derivatives reporting (section 2
below). The Bank consulted on changes to the framework for derivatives reporting as they apply to Central Counterparties (CCPs). The FCA consulted on the same changes as they apply to all other counterparties.
1.12 The FCA consulted separately on the proposals relating to TR registration and TR
requirements for procedures for reconciliation and to verify how complete and correct the data are (sections 3 and 4 below).
1.13 Any references to ‘we’, ‘our’ or ‘us’ within this PS should be read in this context and based
on this split of responsibilities.
Our consultation
1.14 In April 2018, CPMI-IOSCO published technical guidance on the harmonisation of critical
data elements for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives (‘CDE guidance’). This central document provides guidance on the definition, format and allowable values of critical data elements to be provided to authorities and lays the foundation for jurisdictions worldwide to meet the original G20 commitment of implementing derivative reporting requirements in an internationally consistent way.
1.15 In CP 21/31 we consulted on changes to the derivatives reporting framework under
UK EMIR to align the UK derivatives reporting framework with the CDE Guidance. This is to ensure the UK derivatives reporting framework is aligned with those of other G20 jurisdictions, enabling UK authorities to better monitor systemic and financial stability risk, particularly given the global nature of the derivatives market.
1.16 We are also enacting measures for mandatory delegated reporting requirements,
counterparty notifications, registration and reconciliation processes, and the use of XML schemas and global identifiers. These aim to provide clarity to counterparties and to TRs, to streamline the process of registration, to ensure consistency of reporting, and to improve overall data quality. Approach in other jurisdictions
1.17 As noted in CP21/31, the derivatives reporting framework under UK EMIR is
predominantly aligned with the EU EMIR derivatives reporting framework. The proposals set out in CP21/31 were also largely aligned with the changes to the reporting framework proposed by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in their Final Report published in December 2020.

5
1.18 We took this approach as we agreed with the majority of the policy proposals in ESMA’s
final rules. In addition, there is a preference, particularly from market participants who are part of groups which operate in both the UK and EU, for our approach to be aligned to avoid any unintended cost and/or operational burden that would arise as a result of divergence. There were, however, a small number of areas that diverged from ESMA’s proposals where we deemed it appropriate to adopt a different policy approach for the UK regime.
1.19 We note that the EU proposals were approved by the European Commission in
November 2022 (after our consultation had closed). We have considered the EU’s final EMIR changes when considering our final approach.
1.20 As noted in CP21/31 we are aware that other jurisdictions (such as the US, Singapore
and Australia) are considering amendments to their derivatives reporting framework to align with the CDE guidance. The final rules in this PS are not only mostly aligned with those of the EU but also with other G20 jurisdictions that propose to align their frameworks with CDE guidance. How it links to our objectives
1.21 The requirements we set out are aligned with the FCA and the Bank’s objectives.
Market integrity
1.22 The requirements will help the FCA to fulfil its statutory objective of protecting and
enhancing the integrity of the UK financial system by improving the quality of data available to the FCA for monitoring systemic and financial stability risk in the derivatives market. Financial Stability
1.23 The requirements will help the Bank to fulfil its statutory objective of protecting and
enhancing the stability of the financial system of the United Kingdom by increasing the clarity and transparency of the OTC derivative markets through improvements to data quality and international consistency. This will facilitate the Bank’s identification and analysis of emerging potential risks.

6
What we are changing
1.24 We consulted on 3 key proposals in CP 21/31:
Proposal 1: amendments to the framework for derivatives reporting under Article 9 of UK EMIR (FCA and Bank)
1.25 The FCA and Bank will amend the table of reportable fields in the relevant technical
standards under UK EMIR, primarily so that it aligns with international guidance issued by CPMI-IOSCO. We will make specific changes to reportable fields to provide clarity to counterparties and TRs where there are existing uncertainties.
1.26 We will introduce notification and reconciliation processes for counterparties to
help ensure that errors and omissions are notified to the appropriate regulator, and reconciliation breaks are resolved quickly.
1.27 There will be specific requirements for counterparties subject to mandatory delegated
reporting. UK EMIR requires non-financial counterparties (NFCs) who benefit from mandatory delegated reporting when trading derivatives with a financial counterparty (FC) to provide information to the FC that the FC would not otherwise be expected to know. We set out the arrangements the FC should put in place for the timely provision of relevant information by the NFC.
1.28 Counterparties will be required to use standardised XML schemas based on end-to￾end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards when submitting details of their
derivatives trades to a TR.
1.29 We will require counterparties to follow specific requirements for the use of global
identifiers, including the use of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs), Unique Transaction identifiers (UTI) and Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs).
1.30 As noted in CP21/31 the FCA is implementing this by introducing the EMIR Technical
Standards on the Minimum Details of the Data to be Reported to Trade Repositories 2023 and EMIR Technical Standards on the Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting 2023. In line with our proposals in CP21/31, consequential amendments are being made to UK versions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 149/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 151/2013 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/957. Proposal 2: amendments to the registration process for TRs (FCA)
1.31 The FCA will streamline the registration process for TRs that are already registered or
recognised under the UK Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR). As noted in CP21/31, the FCA is implementing this by amending the UK versions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1248/2012.

7
Proposal 3: requirements for TRs to establish procedures and policies to ensure the effective reconciliation of data between TRs; to verify the completeness and correctness of the data reported; and the orderly transfer of data between TRs (FCA)
1.32 The FCA will introduce new requirements for TRs which will improve data quality,
promote consistency of reporting, and facilitate the orderly transfer of data between TRs and to regulatory authorities. The FCA is implementing this by introducing a new sourcebook in the FCA Handbook, called the European Market Infrastructure Regulation Rules, or EMIRR for short.
1.33 In summary, and in response to consultation feedback, we are finalising the 3 key
proposals above largely as consulted on. We have, however, made the following additional changes in response to consultation feedback to further enhance implementation and provide additional clarifications:

• the introduction of a new reportable field to permit the reporting of an ‘Execution
  Agent’ where counterparties choose to make use of one - see paragraph 2.14 and our subsequent response (FCA and Bank),
• the amendment of the time by which TRs are to provide the information necessary
  for specified parties to review their UK EMIR reporting submissions from 06:00 UTC to 09:00 UTC – see paragraph 4.8 and our subsequent response (FCA),
• a clarification that a TR may generate a UTI as part of the UTI generation waterfall
  process – see paragraphs 2.68 to 2.71 and our subsequent response (FCA), and
• an amendment to the reporting requirements to clarify that CCPs are in scope of
  Article 3 (Bank).
  1.34 As set out in Chapter 5, the FCA and Bank do not consider that the additional changes
  we are making will have a material impact on the findings in our original cost benefit analyses (CBA).
  1.35 The FCA and the Bank are also making a number of ‘consequential changes’ to other
  pieces of UK legislation, where that legislation contains cross-references to provisions of the technical standards which we are proposing to amend or revoke and replace. Those changes are intended to ensure that any such cross-references continue to function effectively. Summary of amendments in the final instruments
  1.36 To implement the changes we have highlighted in paragraph 1.33 above, we have
  summarised below where these changes have been made in the final rules. Technical Standards on the Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting
• Article 3: to extend the scope of the requirements to include CCPs,
• Article 8: to adjust the UTI generation waterfall process to clarify that TRs may
  generate a UTI, and
• Table 1: to permit the reporting of a new ‘Execution Agent’ field.

8
Technical Standards on the Minimum Details of the Data to be Reported to Trade Repositories

• Table 1: to permit the reporting of a new ‘Execution Agent’ field
  Technical Standards 151/2013: Data to be published and made available by Trade Repositories and Operational Standards for Aggregating, Comparing and Accessing the Data
• Article 5: to permit the reporting of a new ‘Execution Agent’ field
  EMIR Rules Sourcebook
• Section 1.1.2 R is inserted to clarify that applicable rules and guidance in GEN apply
  to TRs registered in accordance with Article 55 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012,
• Section 2.4.2 R amends the time for which TRs are to provide the information
  necessary for specified parties to review their UK EMIR reporting submissions from 06:00 UTC to 09:00 UTC, and
• Annex C is added to
  – insert EMIRR to the Glossary and to define it as the European Market Infrastructure Regulation Rules sourcebook, and – to insert a provision to GEN Sch 4.3 to clarify the legal basis of the power exercised. Additional drafting changes to the final instruments
  1.37 We have made some additional drafting changes to the final instruments to what was
  consulted on in CP21/31. These do not change the substance of the requirements we originally consulted on but improve the clarity of those requirements. We have corrected minor typographical and grammatical errors and made certain alterations to drafting and ordering of text to improve clarity or to align with changes made by the EU in their final Technical Standards to the extent they are applicable in a UK context.
  1.38 We have also made drafting changes to the table of reportable fields to align with the EU
  Technical Standards, insofar as applicable.
  Outcome we are seeking
  1.39 In taking these actions we intend to achieve:
• a high-quality UK derivatives dataset to support UK authorities’ ability to fulfil our
  statutory objectives more effectively,
• a harmonised UK derivatives dataset to facilitate the effective monitoring of
  systemic risk at a global level,
• reduced burdens on UK counterparties and TRs in the long term by enabling clear
  and consistent interpretation of derivative reporting requirements and working toward consistent requirements across jurisdictions, and
• clear and consistent rules for the registration and supervision of TRs.

9
Measuring success
1.40 We will measure our success in a dynamic and ongoing manner as our changes are
implemented and become standard practice. We will continue to provide guidance on implementing the UK derivatives reporting framework where required and as the market evolves.
1.41 In judging our success, we will pay particular attention to the extent to which:

• UK authorities are able to make greater and more effective use of the derivatives
  dataset to better identify and monitor systemic and financial stability risks,
• there is a measurable reduction in counterparty errors and omissions in UK EMIR
  reporting, as evidenced by the number of notifications of errors and omissions received by the FCA and Bank, with active supervisory work to verify that parties still notify when notifiable events do arise, and
• pairing and matching rates for counterparties reconciling details of derivative
  trades increase.
  1.42 In order to maintain a high-quality UK derivatives dataset, we will also engage with
  industry throughout implementation and beyond, actively seeking feedback and evidence from stakeholders and affected parties, with particular emphasis placed on feedback and evidence that is quantitative or data-driven. Summary of feedback and our response
  1.43 We received 19 responses to CP21/31. Respondents included reporting counterparties,
  TRs, trading venues, market makers, trade associations, asset managers, media, service and information providers, non-profit organisations, standardisation organisations, and one natural person.
  1.44 The majority of respondents agreed with our proposals.
  1.45 Some proposals led to suggestions for nuance, alternative approaches, requests for
  guidance on how to meet the requirements, or a variety of views expressed. We consider these proposals and the responses received in Chapter 2. Where appropriate, we will provide further supporting guidance to address questions raised (see paragraph 1.56 below).
  1.46 We have not included or addressed in this PS feedback received that relates to matters
  outside the scope of our statutory mandates.
  1.47 Our final rules are largely unchanged from the draft rules we consulted on. We have
  made some minor changes in response to feedback to enhance our original proposals.
  1.48 As set out in Chapter 5, respondents did not provide any specific comments on the cost
  estimates set out in the CBA included in CP21/31, or provide any evidence on their costs that would lead us to question the findings of the CBA.

10
Equality and diversity considerations
1.49 We have considered possible equality and diversity issues that may arise from the
proposals in CP21/31. We did not receive any feedback on equality and diversity considerations during the consultation process.
1.50 Overall, we do not consider that the new requirements materially impact any of the
groups with protected characteristics as defined in the Equality Act 2010. Next steps What you need to do next
1.51 The requirements we set out in this PS will come into effect on 30 September 2024,
except for certain amendments to the UK versions of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 150/2013 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1248/2012 which relate to the format and details of applications for registration of TRs and which come into force immediately.
1.52 As noted in CP21/31, there will be a 6-month period for counterparties to update
their outstanding derivative reports in line with the new requirements, which will end 31 March 2025.
1.53 Stakeholders should familiarise themselves with final rules, plan and appropriately
update their systems and processes ahead of implementation.
What we will we do next
Supporting guidance and technical specification documents
1.54 We have published alongside this PS draft UK EMIR Validation Rules and relevant XML
schemas to provide clarity to market participants on how to implement the amended
table of reportable fields. These are available on the FCA EMIR Reporting and Bank TR
data webpages.
1.55 We do not generally consult on Validation Rules and schemas. On this occasion however,
and on an exceptional basis, we invite market participants to provide any feedback on the UK EMIR Validation Rules and XML schemas before they are finalised. We would welcome feedback via email to emir@fca.org.uk by 24 March 2023 (noting that any feedback will also be shared with the Bank).
1.56 We will also provide a supporting guidance document that will provide further clarity on
how the rules are to be implemented. In Chapter 2 below we have highlighted the areas that will be included in the guidance document. We will consult on a draft version of this supporting guidance document.

11
Engagement
1.57 We will proactively engage with market participants in order to finalise any additional
guidance ahead of implementation.
1.58 We will consider how best to engage with market participants post-implementation to
ensure consistency and harmonisation of reporting under the UK derivatives reporting framework.
1.59 We will also engage with international regulatory peers to ensure the benefits of
coordination between jurisdictions are maximised in what is a shared and mutually beneficial G20 agenda.

12
Chapter 2
Amendments to the reporting requirements under Article 9 of UK EMIR (FCA and Bank)
2.1 This chapter summarises:

• the feedback we received on our consultation proposals relating to amendments
  to the reporting requirements under Article 9 of UK EMIR, and
• the position we have adopted in our final rules.
  2.2 We note that several proposals received little feedback or suggestions for amendment.
  We will therefore take forward these proposals without further modification and do not discuss them further in this PS. Feasibility of 18-month implementation period
  2.3 In CP21/31 we proposed an 18-month implementation period following publication of
  our updated technical standards and rules. This would allow reporting counterparties and TRs adequate time to incorporate the proposed changes within their budgets, update the relevant IT systems and make other necessary changes to report under the updated technical standards and rules.
  2.4 We received nine responses to this proposal. Of these responses, eight supported
  the 18-month timeline as an appropriate and reasonable period in which to undertake implementation. One respondent – a trade association – thought that the 18-month implementation period may be too short but noted that ESMA had also set an implementation period of this length and expressed a wish that the UK authorities and ESMA work together to match timelines to the later of the two possible implementation dates. If this were not possible, the respondent requested that the UK does not bring forward its go-live date to avoid penalising those who solely report under UK jurisdiction.
  2.5 One respondent who agreed with the proposed length of the 18-month implementation
  period noted the risk posed by counterparties having to upgrade UK and EU reporting systems in a limited period of time, but also stated that a long divergence period between the go-live dates of the two systems would not be advisable. This respondent suggested a lapse of between six and nine months between the implementations of the two systems would be ‘an ideal scenario’.
  2.6 Several respondents underlined the importance of having access to final versions of
  XML schemas and validation rules at the start of the implementation period to provide industry with the full 18 months to work toward the new standards.

13
2.7 Respondents also requested that go-live should occur on a Monday, avoid year end
code freezes, and (for some respondents) be aligned with go-live dates selected by authorities in other jurisdictions. Our response Given the overall level of support for an 18-month implementation period, we set the implementation date as Monday, 30 September 2024. Alongside this PS, we have published draft versions of the XML schemas and UK EMIR validation rules on the FCA EMIR Reporting and Bank TR data webpages. We are seeking industry views on these drafts via consultation. We will then publish final versions of the XML schemas and validation rules, having made any amendments we judge appropriate following consideration of any feedback we receive. The 30 September 2024 implementation date means counterparties and TRs have more than 18-months’ notice of the finalised requirements. With the XML schemas and validation rules being finalised shortly, this remains consistent with the feedback received. The date chosen also reflects requests to avoid year end, and that go-live should occur on a Monday. We note the desirability of alignment in regulatory action between authorities in different jurisdictions. Our primary focus in this instance is on ensuring an appropriate timeline for counterparties active in the UK market to achieve successful implementation. We therefore see greater benefit in ensuring that counterparties have the full 18-month period proposed than in offering a shorter period which may correspond with go-live dates in other jurisdictions but which offers less time to complete the work required. We nevertheless note that the updated EU reporting regime will go live on 29 April 2024. UK go-live is therefore expected to occur five months after that of the EU. Feasibility of 6-month period to update outstanding derivative reports
2.8 In CP21/31 we proposed a 6-month period (to start after the 18-month implementation
period) for counterparties to update outstanding derivative reports in line with the new requirements. We considered this a necessary step to enhance the quality of the UK EMIR dataset and to better enable UK authorities to make effective use of the dataset.
2.9 We received eleven responses to this proposal. Nine respondents expressed an explicit
opinion on the feasibility of the proposed 6-month period for counterparties to update their outstanding derivative reports. Of these, eight respondents considered the proposed length of the 6-month period to be appropriate.

14
2.10 One respondent stated that it was necessary to see the revised validation rules
before forming an explicit view on the proposed 6-month period. The respondent who disagreed with the proposal – a trade association – thought the proposed timescale was challenging and suggested increasing the period to 12 months.
2.11 Several respondents flagged that there may be a significant increase in breaks
during the 6-month period as market participants may update outstanding reports at different times.
2.12 Respondents submitted requests for clarification and guidance on how to approach
certain aspects of reporting during this 6-month period. These related to how to reconcile reports received in different formats by counterparties, the reporting of open trade state reports, and how to treat open trades that have not been updated by the end of the 6-month period. Given the resource and system change required by counterparties to update outstanding reports, respondents also requested supervisory flexibility from authorities immediately following the 6-month period should any reports remain outstanding. Our response We note that the majority of respondents supported the proposed 6-month period (following the implementation date) to update outstanding derivative reports. We shall therefore maintain the timescale as set out in our original proposal. Reporting counterparties are to update all outstanding derivative reports to the new requirements by 31 March 2025. With regard to historic open trade state reports, TRs are to submit updated reports by 31 March 2025. We recognise the potential for an increase in reconciliation breaks during the 6-month period, as flagged by several respondents. We also recognise the significant changes required by counterparties to update all outstanding reports by 31 March 2025 which may lead to some errors and/or data quality issues during the 6-month period. While we expect reporting counterparties to make the necessary preparations to ensure the relevant UK EMIR reports are updated in a timely manner, we will apply our supervisory powers for this requirement in a proportionate and risk￾based manner. We will provide supporting guidance on how to reconcile reports in different formats during the 6-month period.

15
Table of reportable fields under UK EMIR
Alignment with CDE Guidance
2.13 In CP21/31 we proposed to align the table of reportable fields under UK EMIR with
the CDE guidance issued by CPMI-IOSCO to the extent that it is applicable in the UK. All respondents agreed with this proposal, highlighting the desirability of authorities working together to ensure a globally harmonised derivatives dataset. This approach is particularly supported by multi-national groups who are subject to derivatives reporting regimes in different jurisdictions. Addition of new ‘Execution Agent’ field
2.14 Respondents highlighted the benefits of adding an additional field to permit the
reporting of an execution agent when counterparties choose to make use of one, and proposed other possibilities which could also potentially allow relevant details to be captured. Our response We recognise the strong support for harmonisation of reportable fields under UK EMIR with CDE guidance. We will maintain the proposed amendments and additions to the table of reportable fields in CP21/31 to align with the CDE guidance. We recognise the benefit, highlighted by respondents, of including a new optional ‘Execution Agent’ field. As a result, we will introduce a new ‘Execution Agent’ field to allow an execution agent to be reported where appropriate. Details on where this field has been added can be found in the Technical Standards (EMIR Reporting and Data Quality and Miscellaneous Amendments) Instrument 2023 appended to this Policy Statement. Given the optionality of the field, and the absence of any impact on counterparties who choose not to use an execution agent, we do not consider this change will have a material impact on our cost-benefit analysis.

16
Alignment of the technical standards on reporting under
Article 9 UK EMIR with ESMA’s approach to the extent that
it is applicable in the UK
2.15 In CP21/31 we proposed to introduce new technical standards on reporting and to
amend the table of reportable fields under UK EMIR to align with the CDE guidance, as published by CPMI-IOSCO, where appropriate. We note that the current UK derivatives reporting framework is predominantly aligned with the EU derivatives reporting framework, that many UK counterparties are part of groups subject to both regimes, and that the proposals in CP21/31 align with the approach taken by ESMA in its December 2020 Final Report and adopted by the European Commission in November 2022.
2.16 We received ten responses to this proposal. All agreed with the proposal to align, where
appropriate, with the approach taken by ESMA. Respondents noted that divergence can lead to additional costs, particularly for groups subject to both the UK and EU regime. Several respondents flagged that it would be desirable to achieve alignment with other G20 jurisdictions where possible.
2.17 Respondents raised specific questions on the validation of incoming submissions,
lifecycle sequencing, and the distinction between EMIR and non-EMIR eligible instruments for package transactions. Our response We note the support for our proposal to align the technical standards on reporting under Article 9 UK EMIR, including the table of reportable fields, with ESMA’s approach to the extent that it is applicable in the UK. We will proceed on this basis and our final approach is predominately aligned with ESMA’s approach. We also note the suggestions submitted by respondents to achieve alignment with other G20 jurisdictions where appropriate. We consider that aligning our proposal with the CDE guidance, as published by CPMI-IOSCO, supports our ability to achieve a more globally consistent derivatives dataset. We will continue to work alongside other jurisdictions to ensure harmonisation where appropriate. We will provide supporting guidance on the specific areas highlighted by respondents commenting on this proposal. These include requests for guidance as to whether a TR should validate lifecycle event reports differently in situations where a contract is and is not considered to be outstanding at the time the TR is notified of a lifecycle event, and of the scope of the reporting requirements as they will be applied to EMIR and non-EMIR eligible instruments in package transactions.

17
Execution Timestamp
2.18 We have generally sought to align the reportable fields under UK EMIR with the CDE
guidance. For certain reportable fields we have however chosen to diverge from the CDE guidance to a limited extent. One such field is the ‘execution timestamp’ field.
2.19 The CDE guidance only provides guidance on how to populate fields relating to OTC
derivatives. However, UK EMIR requires counterparties to report details of both their OTC derivatives and exchange-traded derivatives (ETDs).
2.20 To accommodate this wider scope under UK EMIR, we proposed to enrich the definition
on how to populate the execution timestamp field as set out in the CDE guidance to cover both OTC derivatives and ETD reports. This would allow the execution timestamp field also to be populated for position-level reporting.
2.21 We received nine responses to this proposal. Six respondents agreed with the proposal.
Two respondents disagreed, and one respondent expressed no explicit position.
2.22 Of the respondents who disagreed, one – a natural person – questioned whether the
regulatory benefit to be expected from this proposal warranted diverging from the CDE guidance. The other – a trade repository – considered that it would be challenging to calculate the latest execution timestamp in scenarios where multiple trades are added to a position.
2.23 Respondents requested guidance on expectations of accurate reporting of the
execution timestamp field. Respondents made specific requests for guidance on what should be reported when a position trades or is netted to zero, and (in situations where multiple trades are added to a position) whether the original execution timestamp should be maintained or replaced with new data to account for the position being re￾opened. Our response We note the overall level of support expressed for the proposal. We will therefore take forward the proposal as set out in CP21/31. We note the challenge raised as to whether the regulatory benefit to be gained from this proposal warrants diverging from CDE guidance. CDE guidance only provides guidance on how to populate fields relating to OTC derivatives. UK EMIR however requires counterparties to report details of both OTC derivatives and ETDs. To accommodate this wider scope under UK EMIR we consider that a divergence from CDE guidance is justified. We also note the requests for guidance on accurate reporting of this field. We will prepare guidance on how this field is to be reported in due course.

18
‘Intent to clear’ (proposed new definition under CDE guidance)
2.24 In CP21/31 we proposed not to include the ‘intent to clear’ option when populating the
‘cleared’ field.
2.25 We received nine responses to this proposal. Seven supported the non-inclusion of the
‘intent to clear’ option when populating the ‘cleared’ field. One respondent – a market maker – expressed no explicit disagreement but suggested that non-inclusion could make it difficult to distinguish an alpha transaction that is intended to be submitted for clearing from an uncleared transaction. Another respondent – a natural person – disagreed with the proposal due to it being a departure from the CDE guidance and suggested retaining the field but to designate it as ‘voluntary’. Our response We note the majority of respondents supported the proposal not to include the ‘intent to clear’ option when populating the ‘cleared’ field. We will proceed on this basis. In CP21/31 we noted our view that the inclusion of such a field would not provide additional data to support our objectives. We have considered the challenges raised by respondents but judge that our original conclusion remains appropriate. ‘Venue of Execution’ field (existing field)
2.26 The CDE guidance has added the option ‘BILT’ for situations where a reporting
counterparty cannot determine whether a given instrument is admitted to trading or is traded on a trading venue. This however is not relevant in a UK context.
2.27 The FCA publishes details of instruments admitted to trading or traded on UK and
EEA trading venues on a daily basis. This provides clarity as to which instruments are admitted to trading or traded on a trading venue for the purposes of reporting under UK EMIR. In CP21/31 we proposed therefore not to include ‘BILT’ in the list of permitted values for the venue of execution field.
2.28 Separately, we proposed to amend the requirements of the venue of execution field so
that Market Identifier Codes (MIC) are required to be reported for Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTF), Organised Trading Facilities (OTF), Systematic Internalisers (SI) and third country organised trading platforms even if a derivative concluded on a given venue is considered an OTC derivative under UK EMIR.

19
2.29 We received eleven responses to this proposal. Of these, eight agreed with the proposal
and two expressed no explicit opinion, requesting clarification of certain elements. One respondent – a natural person – disagreed, noting that divergence from CDE guidance may have an impact on cross-border groups.
2.30 Respondents requested clarification on whether the introduction of MICs for MTFs,
OTFs, SIs and third country trading platforms would impact the validation rules for the venue of execution field and how data at the fill trade level should be consumed or processed to feed into allocation level reporting.
2.31 One respondent also asked that we clarify that a transaction may be executed on, or
pursuant to the rules of, trading facilities, and that both ETD and OTC derivatives may be executed on a trading venue, and that it is important not to conflate ETD and OTC derivatives by incorrectly classifying all instruments traded on a trading venue as ETDs. Our response We note the majority of respondents supported the proposal. We will therefore proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31. The UK EMIR Validation Rules published alongside this PS clarify how to report the Venue of Execution field. We note the remaining questions raised by respondents and will address these in supporting guidance. ‘PTRR ID’ and ‘type of PTRR technique’ (proposed new fields)
2.32 In CP21/31 we proposed to introduce new fields to identify aspects of a derivatives trade
that relate to post trade risk reduction (PTRR) services. These include the ‘PTRR ID’ and ‘type of PTRR technique’ fields.
2.33 We received eleven responses to this proposal. Of these, seven respondents agreed
with the proposal, two disagreed, and two expressed no explicit opinion, considering that clarification of certain elements or sight of the validation rules was necessary to form a complete view.
2.34 One respondent – an asset manager – considered that the addition of new fields relating
to PTRR could cause data sourcing and reporting logic issues for reporting entities. Another respondent – a natural person – considered that the addition of required fields could disincentivise firms who may want to undertake portfolio compression on a voluntary basis, particularly if they were doing it for the first time.
2.35 Respondents requested guidance on how and when these fields should be populated
and how the flow of data from the CCP or PTRR service provider should feed into reporting downstream.

20
Our response
We note the majority of respondents supported the proposal. We shall therefore proceed with the addition of these fields as proposed in CP21/31. We will provide supporting guidance to clarify how these fields should be populated. ‘Subsequent position UTI’ (proposed new field)
2.36 In CP21/31 we proposed to include a new ‘Position UTI’ field to link derivative trades
reported at trade level that are subsequently included in a position level report. Separately, we also proposed to clarify the circumstances under which counterparties can report at position level in the new Technical Standards on the Minimum Details of the Data to be Reported to Trade Repositories.
2.37 We received eight responses to these proposals. Five agreed with the proposals as
set out, although one considered it challenging from a practical point of view in terms of implementation and ongoing efforts. Two expressed no explicit opinion, instead offering considerations on issues related to and arising from the proposals. One respondent – a trade association – disagreed, stating that they were concerned that the technical, operational and compliance burden of implementation could outweigh (in the respondent’s view) the benefit to regulatory authorities.
2.38 One respondent noted its understanding that Position UTIs will apply to ETD contracts
only and not to OTC contracts, as OTC derivatives are to be reported at trade level only. Leading on from this understanding that Position UTI applies to ETD only, it noted its view that Contracts for Difference (CfDs) are OTC products and therefore would only be reported at trade level.
2.39 One respondent requested guidance on how to report intraday trades where a position
which is opened and closed on the same day does not have a position UTI at the end of the day as no position exists. Our response We note the decision taken by ESMA to proceed with the inclusion of this field. In preparing this PS we have received suggestions from stakeholders – including from stakeholders who initially opposed the proposal in responding to CP 21/31 – that our following ESMA in this regard would minimise additional cost. We will therefore proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31.

21
With regard to the question of the benefit to be gained from reporting of this field, we note the challenges that implementation and reporting of this field will pose to reporting entities. We judge however that there is overall value to be obtained from such reporting and that its inclusion will contribute to the strengthening of our oversight of the market. We recognise that CfDs are generally currently traded as OTC contracts, and that our requirements allow for CfDs to report at position level where they are fungible. Where CfDs are not fungible, they do not have the option to report at position level. If CfDs were to be traded on an exchange, they would be able to report a position UTI, provided that both counterparties agree to report at position level. We will provide supporting guidance to assist reporting entities in their reporting of intraday trades where a position is opened and closed on the same day. ‘Derivative based on cryptoasset’ (proposed new field)
2.40 In CP21/31 we proposed to include a new ‘Derivative based on cryptoasset’ field. This is
intended to facilitate our monitoring of trends and risks related to the use of derivative trades that are based on cryptoassets that fall within scope of the UK EMIR reporting obligation.
2.41 We received ten responses to this proposal. Of these, six respondents agreed with
the proposal and one – a natural person – disagreed, suggesting that a new field was unnecessary and that cryptoassets could be captured as a sixth option within the ‘Asset Class’ field. The remaining respondents expressed no explicit opinion but sought clarification on specific points.
2.42 Several respondents requested guidance on when a derivative contract is considered as
based on a cryptoasset and how such contracts are to be reported.
2.43 Three respondents noted the importance of working toward the alignment of
approaches at the global level. One respondent suggested that this field (and any other new field) be introduced as a CPMI-IOSCO standard.
2.44 Two respondents suggested that the information to be reported in this field could be
captured (either now or at a future date) as a reference data attribute of UPIs.
2.45 One respondent proposed adding a new field to augment the UK EMIR report
by accepting a digital token identifier (in addition to the International Securities Identification Number [ISIN]) when the underlying asset is a digital token.

22
Our response
We note the majority of respondents expressed support for the proposal. We will proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31. Our action here is a first step to collecting relevant data on cryptoassets. We will continue to monitor developments in the area and wider regulatory space to determine if additional data are needed in the future. We agree with the points raised on the importance of working toward a consistent approach between jurisdictions and will seek to collaborate with other G20 jurisdictions. We note the request for guidance on establishing when a derivative contract is considered as based on a cryptoasset, and in reporting this field. We will consider the need to provide further clarification in the supporting guidance. With regard to the suggestion of capturing the information to be reported in this field as a reference data attribute of UPIs, and to the suggestion to add a new field to accept a digital token identifier, we recognise that cryptoassets represent a rapidly evolving market. We will continue to monitor the development of this market for regulatory reporting purposes, taking into consideration the information that is appropriate for counterparties to report to regulatory authorities. We will not proceed with these suggestions at this time but will monitor the development of the market and will keep them in mind for further consideration if future circumstances and developments suggest they would be beneficial. Format of the table of reportable fields
2.46 In CP 21/31 we proposed to add an additional table of reportable fields to include fields
relating to margin and collateral.
2.47 We received nine responses to this proposal. Of these, eight expressed an explicit
opinion on the proposal. All were in favour. One respondent expressed no explicit opinion but recommended that we consider aligning our approach to that of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and exempt CCPs from reporting any data under UK EMIR which may be reported to the Bank of England via other reporting requirements.
2.48 Respondents requested guidance on how collateral data should be reflected in the
reports and the circumstances in which derivative contracts can be subject to a collateralisation, in particular whether the contract has to be outstanding or at least one of the contracts that compose the portfolio must be outstanding, to be subject to a collateralisation.

23
2.49 Respondents suggested:

• incorporating a Boolean field to the applicable fields in Table 2 that would allow
  counterparties to identify whether a contract is collateralised,
• not including a UTI field and relying instead on the portfolio code to identify which
  group of trades is linked to the margin and collateral figures submitted, and
• to permit a second collateral portfolio code to be reported to take account of
  scenarios where initial margin and variation margin will be calculated from different portfolios of trades. Our response We note the majority of respondents supported our proposals. We will therefore proceed with the proposals as set out in CP21/31. We note the suggestion for CCPs to be exempt from reporting under UK EMIR data relating to margin and collateral that are reported to the Bank of England pursuant to other reporting requirements. However, to ensure consistency of data reporting and to ensure all relevant UK authorities have access to a consistent UK derivatives dataset, we believe CCPs should continue to report these data under UK EMIR. With regard to the suggestion to incorporate a Boolean field to the applicable field in Table 2 to allow counterparties to identify whether a contract is collateralised, we consider that other fields provide the ability to give more precise information about a particular contract than a simple TRUE/FALSE flag. We are conscious of the preference of many counterparties to limit the number of additional fields. Given the absence of clear value added by duplicating existing, more precise components of reporting, we will not therefore proceed with this suggestion. With regard to the suggestion to not include a UTI field, we recognise that ESMA chose not to include this field. We judge however that the inclusion of a UTI field would ensure better data quality and better support the achievement of the objectives of our proposals. For this reason we will proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31. With regard to the suggestion to permit a second collateral portfolio code to be reported, we acknowledge the potential of the suggestion but judge that at this time the benefit likely to be afforded by such reporting is insufficient to warrant the addition. We will not therefore proceed with this suggestion.

24
Reporting and interest rate benchmark reform
2.50 In CP 21/31 we proposed to add codes from the ISO 20022 Benchmark Name Curve
Codes to identify the Sterling Overnight Indexed Average (SONIA), the Secured Oversight Financing Rate (SOFR), the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR) and the Tokyo Overnight Average (TONA) to the options for the ‘Indicator of the floating rate of leg 1’ and ‘Indicator of the floating rate of leg 2’ fields.
2.51 We received seven responses to this proposal. All agreed with the proposal to include at
least the first three codes. Two respondents stated that TONA is not listed as one of the floating rate options within the ISO Benchmark Curve Name Code v.2. Our response We will proceed with the addition of codes to identify SONIA, SOFR, TONA and €STR. With regard to TONA, we note that ISO has agreed that that there is a benefit in making the benchmark list easier to extend in future. Consequently, the schemas will use the ISO element known as “ExternalBenchmarkCurveName1Code”, which references an externalised list of benchmark codes and includes all codes referenced in UK policy. Validation will ensure that reported codes exactly match a code on the externalised list, or else the report will be rejected by TRs. We will observe the ongoing development of the market in risk free rates to consider new rates which may usefully be brought into ISO 20022. Requirements for counterparty notifications and reconciliation processes Notifications of errors and omissions
2.52 In CP 21/31 we proposed to require counterparties to notify the Bank or the FCA (as
applicable) of any material errors or omissions relating to their UK EMIR reporting.
2.53 We received nine responses to this proposal. Seven respondents expressed support for
the proposal. Two respondents did not oppose the proposal but noted questions which could arise from potentially differing interpretations of ‘material’.
2.54 Several respondents requested guidance on what should be considered ‘material’.
Respondents also requested guidance on the obligation to amend inaccurate data within historical reports, the potential for a time limited obligation, the potential classification of the criticality of fields and the application of materiality judgments thereto, and the possibility of a general immateriality exemption.

25
Our response
We note the overall level of support for the proposal and will proceed on this basis. It is for counterparties to judge what is material in a given situation, taking into account their own particular circumstances and the circumstances of the error. If counterparties are in doubt as to the materiality of a given error, they should be conservative and notify the FCA or Bank (as applicable). CCPs are required to report errors and omissions to the Bank. All other reporting counterparties are required to report errors and omissions to the FCA. The FCA and Bank have existing processes for submitting errors and omissions which will continue as part of this proposal. Reporting counterparties may submit notifications to the FCA or to the Bank by completing the appropriate EMIR reporting error or omission notification form. As details on how to submit the relevant notifications are included on the respective FCA and Bank notification forms, we do not consider that any further guidance is required for this proposal at this time. Reconciliation processes
2.55 In CP21/31 we proposed that counterparties should have arrangements in place to
ensure that any reconciliation breaks are resolved where possible, as soon as practicably possible. We also asked if respondents considered there was a need for further guidance indicating specific processes and timeframes to counterparties in which to complete remediation.
2.56 We received ten responses to this proposal. Seven respondents expressed an explicit
opinion on the proposal. Of these, six respondents agreed with the proposal. One respondent – an asset manager – disagreed with the proposal, stating that an increase in the number of reportable fields may lead to an increase in reconciliation breaks, and noted that given reconciliation requires significant work and specialist knowledge, it is challenging for counterparties to undertake.
2.57 The three respondents who expressed no explicit opinion generally acknowledged
the need for remediation of reconciliation breaks, and thus the need to put in place arrangements to structure the necessary remediating work.
2.58 Respondents requested guidance on acceptable arrangements and best practice, the
expected timeframes for remediation, the frequency with which counterparties are expected to conduct the reconciliation process, and the engagement of larger reporting entities with smaller reporting participants.

26
Our response
We note the majority of respondents supported this proposal, and the acknowledgement of other respondents that arrangements are necessary to structure remediation work. We will therefore proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31. The objective of the proposal is to ensure that counterparties have arrangements in place to ensure that reconciliation breaks are addressed in a timely and appropriate manner. Appropriate reconciliation enhances data quality, which enables UK authorities to monitor the market effectively. We acknowledge that the severity and drivers of breaks will differ. As such, we do not seek to be overly prescriptive on timelines. We do not intend to provide detailed guidance to counterparties on the arrangements they may wish to put in place. It is for counterparties to assess what is appropriate to their particular circumstances and business. Requirements relating to mandatory delegated reporting Details to be provided to an FC by an NFC￾2.59 In CP21/31 we proposed that FCs, who trade with NFC-s, put in place arrangements for the timely provision by an NFC- of certain details of an OTC derivative trade where these are unknown by the relevant FC at the conclusion of the trade and where the FC may not reasonably be expected to know these details when trading with an NFC-.
2.60 We received seven responses to this proposal. Four respondents agreed with the
proposal. Two respondents – a trade association and a natural person – questioned whether the proposal was proportionate, whether the proposal would effectively reduce the burdens on NFC-s, and whether the proposal on LEI renewals could impose additional costs on NFC-s. One respondent offered suggestions on the proposal but no explicit statement of agreement or disagreement.
2.61 One respondent asked for clarification of what is expected of FCs with regard to
renewing the LEI of an NFC-.

27
Our response
We note the majority of respondents supported this proposal. We also recognise the differing views expressed by some respondents. In considering this feedback we have decided to proceed with the proposal as set out in CP 21/31. We believe that, on balance, this is the most appropriate approach for both the FC and NFC-. With regard to clarification of what is expected of FCs with regard to renewing an NFC-’s LEI when applicable, we can clarify that the NFC- is responsible for renewing and maintaining its LEI, but an NFC- and FC may put in place arrangements for an FC to renew the LEI of the NFC- if they so choose. Use of standardised XML schemas based on end-to-end reporting solutions in ISO 20022 standards
2.62 In CP21/31 we proposed to introduce a standardised XML schema based on the end-to￾end reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards for the reporting by counterparties
to TRs under UK EMIR.
2.63 We received fourteen responses to this proposal. Ten respondents expressed a view on
the desirability of the proposal. Of these, nine agreed with the proposal. One respondent – a trade association – disagreed, citing the significance and cost of the build, and requested that we should allow for existing CSV and other formatting. The remaining respondents raised points for consideration. Some respondents flagged that mandating the use of XML schemas would impose a cost on counterparties who currently report to TRs in CSV.
2.64 Several respondents requested that final versions of the XML schemas be available as
early as possible, and ideally at the start of the 18-month implementation period, to assist IT build teams in working toward implementation.
2.65 Some respondents requested guidance on the ability of TRs to provide non-regulatory
reports and query output in formats other than ISO XML. Respondents also asked us to consider other global regulators’ interpretations of the reporting solutions in the ISO 20022 standards when developing the standardised schema, and alignment with other jurisdictions where possible to minimise costs. Our response We note the majority of respondents supported this proposal. We recognise that this will require some counterparties to incur certain costs to implement. We judge that over time, the use of the standardised XML schema (noting that this shall also be the format required by other authorities) will lead to lower costs overall. We will therefore proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31.

28
We recognise the importance of providing final versions of the XML schemas as early as possible. As noted above in paragraph 1.54, we have published draft versions of the XML schemas alongside this PS. We invite market participants to provide any feedback on these before they are finalised as described earlier in this PS. With regard to the potential ability of TRs to provide non-regulatory reports and output in formats other than XML, we can clarify that our proposal relates to the format in which we will expect counterparties to report to TRs. TRs remain free to send reports or other output to reporting counterparties in the format of their choice. See also our response under paragraph 4.11 for further detail. TRs are required to report to UK authorities using the prescribed ISO XML format. Requirements relating to the use of global identifiers Use of Unique Transaction Identifiers (UTIs)
2.66 In CP21/31 we set out several proposals relating to the use of Unique Transaction
Identifiers (UTIs). These included:

• the implementation of a defined waterfall process for generating a UTI;
• the granting of precedence to the UTI generation rules of the jurisdiction with the
  earliest reporting deadline for transactions that were neither centrally executed nor cleared;
• new rules for the allocation of responsibility for generating the UTI;
• a requirement to communicate the UTI to the other counterparty by no later than
  10:00 of T+1, and
• a requirement that UTIs should consist solely of alphanumeric characters, and
  that a UTI should be a combination of the LEI of the generating entity and a unique code created by that entity.
  2.67 We received 12 responses to these proposals. Nine respondents expressed an explicit
  opinion on the proposals. All were in favour. The remaining respondents offered suggestions or sought clarification of certain elements of the proposal.
  2.68 TR respondents requested clarification as to whether TRs will be obliged to offer UTI
  generation services.
  2.69 One respondent noted that the first item in the UTI generation waterfall logic is for
  ‘cleared derivatives’. The respondent asked for clarification as to whether this extends to transactions cleared in any jurisdiction, or only those cleared within the UK.

29
2.70 A respondent also noted that the second step of the UTI generation process is for
centrally-executed derivatives where the venue of execution will generate the UTI. Noting that the CPMI-IOSCO UTI standard refers to ‘trading platform’, the respondent stated its belief that ‘trading platform’ amounts to the same meaning implied under UK EMIR, and from this, its belief that trading platforms not considered UK venues would be able to generate the UTI.
2.71 A trade association noted that for cleared derivatives, other than derivatives between
two CCPs, the UTI shall be generated by the CCP for the clearing member. Given that ETDs, irrespective of jurisdiction, are centrally cleared, the trade association requested confirmation that this applies to all CCPs and is not restricted to only those registered within the UK.
2.72 A TR requested clarification as to how TRs should validate and accept modifications
on pre-existing UTIs, and how TRs should validate a UTI generated under the reporting rules of a third country where these rules may differ from those of UK EMIR. Our response Given the overall level of support for the proposals, we will proceed with the proposals as set out in CP21/31. With regard to the question as to whether TRs will be obliged to offer UTI generation services - we have amended the relevant Technical Standards (see Article 8(3)(c) of the EMIR Technical Standards on the Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting 2023 in Appendix 1) to state that at the relevant point of the waterfall, a TR ‘may generate the UTI’. In situations where a TR does not generate the UTI, responsibility for UTI generation shall pass to the next step of the waterfall. With regard to the question as to whether ‘trading platforms’ not considered to be UK venues would be able to generate the UTI – we consider that venues of execution that are not considered to be UK venues may generate the UTI. With regard to the questions as to the requirement to generate a UTI for cleared derivatives, other than derivatives between two CCPs, in situations where a non-UK CCP performs the clearing service and generates a UTI, that UTI should be used. In other cases, responsibility for UTI generation shall pass to the next step of the waterfall. We will clarify how TRs should validate and accept modifications on pre￾existing UTIs and UTIs generated under the reporting rules of a third country in supporting guidance.

30
Use of Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs)
2.73 In CP21/31 we proposed that derivatives admitted to trading or traded on a trading
venue or a systematic internaliser would need to be identified using an ISIN. All other derivatives would need to be identified with Unique Product Identifiers (UPIs).
2.74 We received thirteen responses to this proposal. Eleven respondents expressed an
explicit opinion on the proposal. Of these, ten supported the proposal, with some respondents highlighting certain assumptions on which their support rested. One respondent – an information services provider – disagreed with the proposal, citing perceived weaknesses with the ISIN identification scheme and proposing instead a system making use solely of UPIs.
2.75 Some respondents highlighted the perceived benefits of using UPIs in preference to
ISINs or Classification of Financial Instruments (CFI) codes and wished to see use of UPIs replace other identifiers. Some respondents noted potential challenges and risks related to the roll out of UPIs and flagged the need for caution until the process is successfully completed.
2.76 Respondents requested guidance on populating UPI, on the use of ISIN, UPI and CFI
identifiers (including in combination), and whether counterparties will be required to submit reference data or if TRs would enrich or derive the data from the UPI database.
2.77 Respondents also highlighted the benefits of a coordinated approach where possible for
the adoption of new reporting standards between jurisdictions to avoid confusion and to minimise costs for reporting entities. Our response We note the overall support for the proposals as expressed by respondents. We will proceed with the proposals as set out in CP 21/31. We acknowledge some respondents wish to move toward use solely of UPIs as a product identifier, and certain drawbacks of the use of ISINs and the ISIN scheme. ISINs are however established, readily available, and we judge that there is at present benefit in maintaining consistency with UK MiFIR reporting by identifying certain derivatives through their use. We may consider other possibilities when UPI structures are fully implemented. We will provide supporting guidance on populating UPI; on the use of ISIN, UPI and CFI identifiers (including in combination), and whether counterparties will be required to submit reference data or if TRs would enrich or derive the data from the UPI database.

Chapter 3
Amendments to the registration process for TRs (FCA)
3.1 This chapter summarises:

• the feedback we received on our consultation proposals relating to amendments
  to the registration process for TRs, and
• the position we have adopted in our final rules.
  3.2 In CP 21/31 we consulted on proposals relating to registration fees and the process of
  registration for TRs. Our proposals aimed to streamline the registration process for TRs under UK EMIR and align it with the registration process for TRs under the UK Securities Financing Transactions Regulation.
  3.3 We received six responses to these proposals, all of which were in support of the
  proposals.
  Our response
  We note that respondents supported the proposals. We will proceed with the proposals as set out in CP21/31. As most of these requirements do not require counterparties or other stakeholders to build new systems, they will enter into force immediately. The requirements related to the verification of completeness and correctness of data will enter into force on 30 September 2024.

32
Chapter 4
Requirements for TRs to establish procedures and policies for effective reconciliation, verification and orderly transfer of data between TRs (FCA)
4.1 This chapter summarises:

• the feedback we received on our consultation proposals relating to:
  – requirements for TRs to establish procedures and policies to ensure the effective reconciliation of data between TRs – requirements for TRs to verify the completeness and correctness of the data reported, – the orderly transfer of data between TRs, and
• the position we have adopted in our final rules.
  Process for updating LEIs
  4.2 In CP21/31 we set out proposals relating to the process for TRs to update LEIs in the
  event of a corporate restructuring.
  4.3 We received seven responses to this proposal. Five respondents agreed with the
  proposal. One TR respondent disagreed, stating that TRs should not be responsible for administering corporate events or LEI changes, and suggested alternative approaches. One respondent expressed no opinion but offered thoughts on one part of the proposal and requested clarification of another.
  4.4 The respondent who disagreed with the proposal suggested that the Global LEI
  Foundation (GLEIF) could serve as a golden source for TRs to make changes to counterparty data. Alternatively, the respondent suggested that if an applicable Action Type or Event Type could be made available it may be more efficient for counterparties to administer their own corporate events or LEI changes.
  4.5 One respondent noted that paragraph 3.91 of CP21/31 states that TRs should update
  details provided by report submitting entities, but that Article 9 of the relevant Technical Standards states that, alongside report submitting entities, the reporting counterparty and the entity responsible for reporting can also notify the TR.
  4.6 One respondent requested additional details on the selection criteria and the specific
  subset of fields to be updated by a TR during an LEI update process.

33
Our response
We note the majority of respondents supported the proposal. We will proceed with the proposal as set out in CP21/31. With regard to the suggestion of a GLEIF-driven process for communicating and consuming changes to LEIs, we note that such a solution would require global coordination and subsequent changes to controls. The legal structure would also need to be considered. This is therefore not an initiative that can be achieved for UK EMIR alone but would be a long term process carried out across other G20 jurisdictions. With regard to the inclusion of an applicable Action Type or Event type to allow counterparties to administer their own corporate events or LEI changes, we recognise the potential offered by the proposal. We share however the view expressed by several respondents that we are likely to achieve better data quality by leveraging the qualities of TRs as central entities with appropriate processes in place to best manage corporate events and LEI changes. With regard to the statement regarding the obligation on TRs to update details provided by certain parties, we can clarify that 2.2.1R EMIRR obliges TRs to update details when it receives a request under Article 9 of the ITS from either a counterparty, the entity responsible for reporting, or the entity to which the reporting has been delegated. We will provide supporting guidance relating to the selection criteria and the specific subset of fields to be updated by a TR during an LEI update process. Harmonised process for common responses to counterparties
4.7 In CP21/31 we proposed to implement a standardised framework for TRs relating to
common response messages. Seven respondents expressed an explicit opinion on the proposal. All of these agreed with what we set out. We also received some suggestions and requests for additional guidance, which we discuss here.
4.8 Two TR respondents considered that the proposal for TRs to provide the information
necessary for specified parties to review their UK EMIR reporting submissions no later than 06:00 on the working day following that in which the derivatives were reported was unnecessarily early. One respondent stated that in its experience, these reports are not consumed until after 09:00 and suggested that we consider a later deadline for end-of￾day messages. The other respondent commenting on this proposal suggested that the reports should be required to be made available at ‘a later time’.

34
4.9 Three respondents considered that TRs should be able to produce reports for their
clients in other formats in addition to XML. One respondent noted that this may be particularly beneficial for reporting counterparties that do not report to TRs directly, among which smaller counterparties that often rely on a delegated reporting service.
4.10 One respondent noted that the CP proposed that TRs would be required to provide
report submitting entities with the results of the reconciliation process, but the rules require that TRs should also provide this information to reporting counterparties and entities responsible for reporting.
4.11 One respondent requested that the reports to be produced differentiate between
situations in which the valuation / margin has never been reported (‘missing’ valuation / margin) and those in which the valuation / margin has not been reported for at least fourteen days (‘stale’ valuation / margin). Our response We note that all respondents who chose to express an opinion supported the proposal. We will proceed with the proposal as set out in CP 21/31 with a minor amendment to reflect feedback. With regard to the proposed 06:00 timing of the requirement for TRs to make available the information necessary for specified parties to review their UK EMIR reporting submissions – the intention of this proposal is to ensure that specified parties have the necessary information to review their UK EMIR reporting submissions in a timely manner. Having considered the feedback received, we judge that this can equally be achieved with reports available from 09:00. We do not consider that giving trade repositories an additional three hours to complete this task will have material negative consequences for firms, or that this change will have a material impact on our cost-benefit analysis. We will therefore amend the proposal and require TRs to provide the necessary information by 09:00 UTC on the following working day to which the derivatives are reported. With regard to the suggestion that TRs be permitted to send reports to reporting entities in other formats in addition to XML – we note the benefits that a standardised XML framework offers and support the increasing use of XML. We do not however oppose TRs sending reports in other formats in addition to XML. We consider this to be a commercial decision taken by each TR individually based on the needs and requirements of its client base. With regard to the parties to which TRs would be required to provide the results of the reconciliation process, we can confirm that reporting counterparties and entities responsible for reporting are intended to be in scope of this proposal. We will provide supporting guidance to address the question of differentiation between situations in which the valuation or margin is missing and those in which it is stale.

35
Chapter 5
Cost-Benefit Analysis
5.1 In CP21/31 the Bank and the FCA presented cost benefit analyses of the expected costs
and benefits associated with the proposals they set out.
5.2 The FCA’s analysis was based on evidence obtained via a survey of a sample of affected
counterparties and on its own qualitative assessment of the identified costs and benefits of the proposals.
5.3 Some respondents to CP 21/31 commented on the significance of costs relating to
certain aspects of the proposals (see the feedback section above). Respondents did not however provide any specific comments on the cost estimates set out in the FCA’s CBA or provide any evidence on their costs that would lead us to question the findings of this CBA.
5.4 The Bank’s analysis expected the cost implications for UK CCPs to be consistent with
those faced by a median large firm, as categorised in the FCA survey. Given the small number of institutions affected by the Bank’s changes, the Bank provided qualitative estimates for the proposals in its CBA.
5.5 In finalising our rules, we have made some limited changes to the proposals set out in
CP21/31. These include introducing a new optional field to permit the reporting of an execution agent where one is used, and the granting of an additional three hours for TRs to make available the information necessary for counterparties to review their UK EMIR reporting submissions.
5.6 Taking into account the feedback received and the nature of the changes we are making,
we do not consider that our amendments will materially impact the findings in our original CBAs. We judge that the CBAs as consulted on remain appropriate.

Article 1
Citation
These Standards may be cited as the ‘EMIR Technical Standards on the Minimum Details of the Data to be Reported to Trade Repositories 2023’.
Article 2
Definitions
In these Standards ‘UK-adopted international accounting standards’ means (in accordance with section 474(1) of the Companies Act 2006) international accounting standards which are adopted for use within the United Kingdom by virtue of Chapter 2 or 3 of Part 2 of the International Accounting Standards and European Public Limited-Liability Company (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.

   No 648/2012 shall include the complete and accurate details set out in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of the Annex that pertain to the derivative concerned.
2. When reporting the conclusion, modification or termination of the derivative, a

2. When an existing derivative is to be included in a position level report on the same
day, such derivative shall be reported with action type ‘Position component’ in field 151 in Table 2 of the Annex.
3. The subsequent updates, including valuation updates, collateral updates and other
modifications and lifecycle events, shall be reported at position level and they shall not be reported for the original derivatives at trade level that were terminated and included in that position.

followed by a code containing up to 32 characters which is unique at the level of the generating entity.
3. The counterparties shall determine the entity responsible for generating the UTI in
accordance with the following:
(a) for cleared derivatives other than derivatives between two CCPs, the UTI shall be generated at the point of clearing by the CCP for the clearing member. A different UTI shall be generated by the clearing member for its counterparty for a trade in which the CCP is not a counterparty; (b) for centrally-executed but not centrally-cleared derivatives, the UTI shall be generated by the venue of execution for its member; (c) for derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) and (b), where either counterparty is subject to the reporting requirements in a third country, the UTI shall be generated pursuant to the rules of the jurisdiction of the counterparty that must comply first with those reporting requirements. Where the counterparty subject to reporting under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 must comply first with the reporting requirements, the following entity shall generate the UTI:
(i) for derivatives that were centrally confirmed by electronic means, the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation; (ii) for all other derivatives, the counterparties shall agree on the entity responsible for generating the UTI. Where the counterparties fail to agree, the counterparty whose LEI is first based on sorting the identifiers of the counterparties with the characters of the identifier reversed shall be responsible for the generation. Where the applicable laws of the relevant third country prescribe the same reporting deadline as the one applicable to the counterparty subject to reporting under Article 9 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 pursuant to first subparagraph of Article 9(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, the counterparties shall agree on the entity responsible for generating the UTI. Where the counterparties fail to agree and the derivative was centrally confirmed by electronic means, the UTI shall be generated by the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation. If the UTI cannot be generated by the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation and the derivative has been reported to a single trade repository, that trade repository may generate the UTI. If the UTI is not generated by the trade repository to which the derivative has been reported, the counterparty whose LEI is first based on sorting the identifiers of the counterparties with the characters of the identifier reversed shall be responsible for the generation.

FCA 2023/4
(d) for derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) to (c), that were centrally-confirmed by electronic means, the UTI shall be generated by the trade confirmation platform at the point of confirmation; (e) for all derivatives other than those referred to in points (a) to (d), the following shall apply:
(i) where financial counterparties conclude a derivative with non￾financial counterparties, the financial counterparties shall generate the UTI; (ii) where non-financial counterparties above the clearing threshold conclude a derivative with non-financial counterparties below the clearing threshold, those non-financial counterparties above the clearing threshold shall generate the UTI; (iii) for all derivatives other than those referred to in points (i) and (ii), the counterparties shall agree on the entity responsible for generating the UTI. Where the counterparties fail to agree, the counterparty whose LEI is first based on sorting the identifiers of the counterparties with the characters of the identifier reversed shall be responsible for the generation.
4. The counterparty generating the UTI shall communicate the UTI to the other
counterparty in a timely manner and no later than 10:00 a.m. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) of the working day following the date of the conclusion of the derivative.
5. Notwithstanding paragraph 2, the generation of the UTI may be delegated to an entity
different from that determined in accordance with paragraph 2. The entity generating the UTI shall comply with the requirements set out in paragraphs 1 and 3.
Article 9
Reporting LEI changes and update of identification code to LEI

1. Where the counterparty identified pursuant to Article 4 in a derivative report
   undergoes a corporate restructuring event resulting in a change of its LEI, that counterparty or the counterparty to which the new LEI pertains, or the entity responsible for reporting on behalf of either of those counterparties pursuant to Article 9(1a) to (1d) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, or the entity to which either of the counterparties delegated the reporting pursuant to Article 9(1f) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, shall notify the trade repository to which the counterparty that underwent a corporate restructuring event reported its derivatives about the change and request an update of the LEI in the derivatives concerned referred to in points (a) and (b) of
   Article 3(2) at the date of the corporate restructuring event resulting in a change of
   LEI or contracts reported after that date.
2. Where possible, the request to update the identifier in the derivatives referred to in the
   points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) shall be made at least 30 calendar days prior to the corporate restructuring event resulting in a change of LEI. In case the entity referred to in paragraph 1 cannot provide this information to the trade repository 30 calendar

FCA 2023/4 days prior to the corporate restructuring event resulting in a change of LEI, it shall notify the trade repository as soon as possible.
3. The request referred to in paragraph 1 shall contain at least the following:
(a) the LEI of each of the entities participating in the corporate restructuring event; (b) the LEI of the new counterparty; (c) the date on which the change of LEI will take place or has taken place; (d) the unique trade identifiers of the derivatives concerned in case where the corporate restructuring event affects only a subset of derivatives referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2); (e) evidence that the corporate restructuring event has taken or will take place, subject to the provisions under Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014.
4. When a counterparty notifies by mistake a trade repository about a change in its LEI,
it shall follow the procedure to request update of its LEI in accordance with paragraphs 1, 2 and 3.
5. Where a counterparty previously identified with an identifier other than an LEI
obtains an LEI, the procedures under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 apply.
6. Where a change in LEI concerns a counterparty established in a third country, its
reporting counterparty established in the UK or the entity responsible for reporting pursuant to Article 9(1a) to (1d) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 or the entity to which the reporting counterparty established in the UK delegated the reporting shall initiate the procedure under paragraphs 1, 2and 3.
7. Where a counterparty established in a third country previously identified with
identifier other than an LEI obtains an LEI, each reporting counterparty established in the UK affected by this change or the entity responsible for reporting pursuant to
Article 9(1a) to (1d) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 or the entity to which the
reporting counterparty established in the UK delegated the reporting shall request the update of the identifier of the non-UK counterparty to its respective trade repository.
8. Where the change in LEI concerns an entity referred to in points (a), (b), (c), (e) or (g)
of Article 4(1), that is not a counterparty to the derivative, counterparty 1 or the entity responsible for reporting shall confirm to the trade repository the unique trade identifiers of the derivatives concerned referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2). Where counterparty 1 and the entity responsible for reporting do not confirm to the trade repository the unique trade identifiers of the derivatives referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) concerned by the change in LEI the counterparty 1 or the entity responsible for reporting shall update the LEI of the concerned entity in all reports pertaining to the derivatives concerned referred to in the points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) by sending a report with action type ‘Modify’.

Table 3 of the Annex to the EMIR Technical Standards on the
Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting 2023; (4) that the same derivative has not been submitted previously; (5) that a derivative report with action type ‘Modification’, ‘Margin Update’, ‘Valuation’, ‘Correction’, ‘Error’ or ‘Terminate’ relates to a previously submitted derivative; (6) that a derivative report with action type ‘Modification’ does not relate to a derivative that has been reported as cancelled with action type ‘Error’ and which has not been subsequently reported with action type ‘Revive’; (7) that a derivative report does not include the action type ‘New’ in respect of a derivative that has previously been reported; (8) that a derivative report does not include the action type ‘Position component’ in respect of a derivative that has previously been reported; (9) that a derivative report does not purport to modify the details of fields ‘Counterparty 1’ or ‘Counterparty 2’ to a previously reported derivative; (10) that a derivative report does not purport to modify an existing derivative by specifying an effective date later than the reported maturity date of the derivative; (11) that a derivative reported with action type ‘Revive’ relates to a previously submitted derivative report with action type ‘Error’ or ‘Terminate’ or to a derivative that has matured; and (12) the correctness and completeness of the derivative report.

2.2.2 R A trade repository shall identify the relevant derivatives referred to in
points (a) and (b) of Article 3(2) of the EMIR Technical Standards on the Standards, Formats, Frequency and Methods and Arrangements for Reporting 2023 at the time of the corporate restructuring event where the entity is identified with the old identifier in any of the fields and replace that identifier with the new LEI. Where a corporate restructuring event relates to an update of the LEI for fields other than ‘Counterparty 1’ or Rejection categories Reason Schema the derivative has been rejected, because of non-compliant schema. Permission the derivative has been rejected because the report submitting entity is not permissioned to report on behalf of the reporting counterparty or the entity responsible for reporting.

(1) a trade repository that has received a derivative report shall verify whether it has received a corresponding report from or on behalf of the other counterparty; (2) a trade repository that has not received a corresponding derivative report, as referred to in EMIRR 2.3.3(1), shall attempt to identify the trade repository that has received the corresponding derivative report by communicating to all registered trade repositories the values of the following fields of the reported derivative: ‘Unique Transaction Identifier’, ‘Counterparty 1’ and ‘Counterparty 2’; (3) a trade repository that determines that another trade repository has received a corresponding derivative report, as referred to in EMIRR
2.3.3 (1), shall exchange with that trade repository the details of
the reported derivative in an XML format and a template developed in accordance with the ISO 20022 methodology; (4) a trade repository shall treat a reported derivative as reconciled where the details of the derivative subject to reconciliation substantially match the details of the corresponding derivative, as

FCA 2023/3 referred to in EMIRR 2.3.3(1); (5) a trade repository shall subsequently assign values for the reconciliation categories for each reported derivatives transaction, as set out in the table in EMIRR 2.3.3AR; (6) a trade repository shall conclude the steps in EMIRR 2.3.3 (1) to (5) at the earliest opportunity and shall take no such steps after midnight Coordinated Universal Time on a given working day; and (7) a trade repository that cannot reconcile a reported derivative shall seek to match the details of that reported derivative on the following working day.
