The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes to amend margin requirements for uncleared swaps for swap dealers and major swap participants without prudential regulators. The amendments would permit the application of separate minimum transfer amounts for initial and variation margin and allow a minimum transfer amount of up to $50,000 for separately managed accounts. These changes aim to codify previous no-action letters to alleviate operational burdens associated with calculating combined margin thresholds across multiple accounts.
