Ongoing Data Collection of Centrally Cleared Transactions in the U.S. Repurchase Agreement Market

Résumé

The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Financial Research (the "Office") is requesting comment on a proposed rule establishing a data collection covering centrally cleared transactions in the U.S. repurchase agreement market. This proposed collection will require daily reporting to the Office by covered central counterparties. The Office expects that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will act as the Office's collection agent, with required data to be submitted directly to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The collected data will be used to support the Financial Stability Oversight Council and as inputs to reference rates.
