Overview

This briefing will review the status and responsibilities of commercial end users of swaps under Title VII of Dodd-Frank and the regulations thereunder.  In analyzing the impact of Title VII on commercial end users, we will review the ways in which the regulators have distinguished between commercial end-users and other types of swap market participants, including with respect to clearing, swap execution, margin, reporting and recordkeeping requirements.  

Please join Julian E. Hammar and James Schwartz of Morrison & Foerster LLP as they discuss, among other topics: 

  • Treatment of commercial end users under the CFTC’s and Prudential Regulators’ Uncleared Swaps Margin Proposals
  • The requirements for end-users seeking to take advantage of the exemption from the clearing requirement
  • The CFTC’s forward with embedded volumetric optionality proposed interpretation
  • Exclusion of utility operations swaps from the special entity de minimis calculation for swap dealer status
