The Securities and Exchange Commission proposes amendments to Exchange Act rules and Regulation SBSR to clarify the application of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act to cross-border security-based swap activities. These proposals specifically address how the de minimis exception applies to non-U.S. persons when their dealing activity is arranged, negotiated, or executed by personnel located in a U.S. branch or office. Additionally, the Commission seeks to apply regulatory reporting and public dissemination requirements to such transactions and to transactions effected by registered broker-dealers.
