Notice I-16-07

February 2, 2016

CFTC authorizes NFA to receive notices of swap valuation disputes in excess of $20 million filed by swap dealers and major swap participants

In January, the CFTC issued an order [hyperlink updated 10/25/21] authorizing NFA to receive notices of swap valuation disputes in excess of $20 million filed by swap dealers (SD) and major swap participants (MSP) pursuant to Regulation 23.502(c).

These notices are currently submitted directly to the CFTC. Effective March 1, 2016, NFA will receive and maintain the notices on behalf of the CFTC and provide summaries and reports regarding these notices to the CFTC. The CFTC will continue to have access to the firm's original documents on the day they are submitted to NFA.

Beginning March 1, SDs and MSPs will file the required notices of swap valuation disputes through WinJammerTM1, NFA's online filing application. Only authorized users of WinJammerTM will have the capability to submit these notices.

Starting from the WinJammerTM filing index.

Only one new "Swap Valuation Dispute" filing may be created each business day. However, one filing can include multiple notices of swap valuation disputes.

Please note: In the fall of 2016, NFA plans to update its systems to require firms to provide standardized information on the swap valuation dispute. NFA will keep Members apprised of system changes, so that SDs and MSPs can modify their processes accordingly.
