Pursuant to the regulations, SDs and MSPs must report all applicable information and data detailed in Parts 43 and 45 of the CFTC's regulations. In the advisory, CFTC staff also provide examples of common problems they have observed with regard to swap data reporting along with guidance to address such issues.
