- Excerpt from SEC Publishes Rules for Reporting Security-Based Swaps:

On February 11, the Securities and Exchange Commission published the texts for two final rules and one proposed rule relating to the reporting of security-based swaps (SBS) that were adopted by the SEC in a meeting on January 14. These rules create a reporting regime for SBS that is equivalent to the reporting regime that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has already created for swaps pursuant to requirements in the DoddFrank Act.
