The Commodity Futures Trading Commission proposes rules to define the cross-border application of registration thresholds and specific requirements for swap dealers and major swap participants under the Commodity Exchange Act. The proposal establishes a risk-based framework that considers international comity and significant risks to the U.S. financial system while introducing a formal process for comparability determinations and substituted compliance. This action withdraws the 2016 proposal to align regulations with current global market structures and mitigate market fragmentation.
