ISDA provides comments to the Prudential Regulators (the “PRs”) regarding the recently released notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comments (“PR Margin Proposal”) concerning margin and capital requirements for non-cleared swaps and non-cleared security-based swaps and the implementation of the related statutory provisions enacted by Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). Our analysis of the proposed rules addresses three critical themes: providing for implementation without excessive disruption; addressing systemic risk in an appropriate manner; and developing a workable cross-border framework.
