On 17 April 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") proposed new rules for security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap market participants. The proposed rules cover recordkeeping, reporting, and notification requirements for security-based swap dealers and major security-based swap participants and would establish additional recordkeeping requirements for broker-dealers to account for their security-based swap activities. Comments on the proposed rule are due by 16 June 2014.
