No-Action Relief Request: Clearing-created Swaps ("firm" or "forced" trades)

No-action relief request for SDs/MSPs who do not undertake reporting responsibilities with respect to Clearing-created Swaps under Rule 45, until such time as the Commission promulgates a rule specifically treating reporting responsibility with respect to Clearing-Created Swaps. One example of such a swap would be a “firm” or “forced” trade – a cleared trade entered into between a DCO and a clearing member pursuant to the testing that a DCO is required to do of the actionable prices clearing members must provide to the DCO as the basis for the DCO’s daily market pricing.
