Eligible entities must demonstrate that their home country requirements satisfy U.S. core principles, maintain good regulatory standing, and have a satisfactory memorandum of understanding with the Commission. The rule also establishes specific reporting obligations and allows existing non-U.S. DCOs to transition to this new compliance framework by amending their registration orders.
