6/16/2011--Reported to House amended, Part II.
Section 1 -
Amends the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010, Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, to delay until December 31, 2012, or 90 days after publication of the relevant final rule or regulation (unless the rule or regulation specifies a later date), or the otherwise applicable effective date, whichever is the latest, the effective date for implementation of certain parts of Title VII, including the promulgation of regulations, the conduct of studies and preparation of reports, and the registration of persons, as well as the exemption of persons, agreements, contracts, or transactions from coverage by Title VII. Exempts from such delay, however, the authority of the Commodity Futures Trading (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue final definitions pertaining to swap transactions, swap participants, and eligible contract participants.
Requires the CFTC and the SEC to further define swaps and related terms subject to their joint rulemaking.
States that the effective date for CFTC reporting of swap-data and SEC reporting of security-based swap data is 90 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register, or the effective date otherwise applicable to such reporting, whichever is later.
Grants the CFTC and the SEC interim authority to permit the reporting of swap data and security-based swap data to certain persons who have:
(1) provided notice of their intention to register as a swap data repository or as a security-based swap data repository, and
(2) made appropriate undertakings to the respective Commission as the latter determines to be in the public interest.
Section 2 -
Requires the two Commissions, before prescribing final rules and regulations under Title VII, to conduct additional public hearings and roundtables on specified issues, solicit public comment, and take into account the testimony of interested parties when performing mandatory cost-benefit analyses and when determining the effective date of final rules and regulations.
Section 3 -
Amends the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to authorize the CFTC and the SEC, respectively, to exempt a person from the registration and related regulatory requirements of such Acts if:
(1) the person is subject to comparable supervision and regulation under a regulatory scheme administered by another regulatory authority or the appropriate government authorities in the person's home country that is comparable to the requirements of Title VII,
(2) adequate information-sharing arrangements are in effect between the agencies and the foreign regulator, and
(3) the exemption is consistent with the public interest .

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.

The bill contains the following citations to other parts of U.S. law:

Slip Laws

Slip laws refer to enacted bills and joint resolutions in their original form as enacted by Congress, that is, before other laws amend them. Slip laws are cited as “Public Law XXX-YYY”, where XXX is the number of the Congress in which the bill or resolution was introduced.

United States Code

The United States Code is the compilation of permanent laws enacted by Congress. Temporary and other non-permanent laws do not appear in the United States Code. (About half of the United States Code is the law itself, called positive law. The other half is merely a compilation of the laws but has no legal significance.)
