The Commodity Futures Trading Commission and Securities and Exchange Commission correct final rules published on May 23, 2012, specifically amending definitions within 17 CFR Part 1. The corrections update paragraph (ggg)(4)(ii)(D) to establish a five-year phase-in termination date for swap data repository reporting, revise paragraph (hhh)(6)(iii)(B)(2) to set a $1 billion threshold for major swap participant status, and correct paragraph (jjj)(3)(iii)(A) to define potential outward exposure multipliers for cleared and uncleared positions. These amendments become effective on July 23, 2012, and apply to entities regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act.
