CFTC Notice of Intent to Extend Information Collection 3038-0072: Registration of Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has published a notice in the Federal Register announcing its intent to renew an existing information collection requirement under OMB Control No. 3038-0072, which governs the registration of Swap Dealers (SDs) and Major Swap Participants (MSPs) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA). This action is required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), which mandates that federal agencies publicly announce proposed renewals of information collections and allow a 60-day public comment period before seeking approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The notice does not introduce new regulatory requirements; it is a procedural step to extend the existing registration data collection framework that ensures swap market participants are properly registered and supervised by the CFTC. Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants are required to submit registration forms and supporting documentation as part of ongoing compliance obligations. Stakeholders — including financial firms, swap dealers, and legal or compliance professionals — have 60 days from the date of publication (March 25, 2026) to submit public comments on the burden, necessity, or scope of this information collection.
