No-Action Relief Request: Pursuant to CFTC Regulation 140.99: Reporting Requirements for International Swaps (Part 45.3(h))

Request for relief for reporting counterparties (RCPs) who do not provide the “swap identifier” or the “identity of the non-U.S. trade repository (TR) as required by Part 45.3. In addition, ISDA requests relief for RCPs who do not fulfill requirements of Part 45.3(h) because either the use of the global UTI standard is not yet accepted for reporting in the foreign jurisdiction, or the non-RCP which reported an international swap has not yet implemented changes necessary to reuse the USI as UTI in accordance with the global UTI standard.
