SIFMA Requests Extension of Comment Period for SEC Proposal on Capital, Margin, and Segregation Requirements for Swaps

SIFMA has submitted comments to the SEC requesting an extension of the comment period for the SEC’s proposal on the capital, margin, and segregation requirements for security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants. The letter presents several bases for an extension, including the complexity of the rules and providing market participants an opportunity to comment in light of Basel and IOSCO recommendations on margin that are expected to be published soon.
