Pursuant to Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 ("Dodd-Frank Act"), as amended by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act of 2015 ("FAST Act"), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("Commission" or "CFTC") is amending the Commission's regulations relating to access to swap data held by swap data repositories ("SDRs"). The amendments implement pertinent provisions of the FAST Act and make associated changes to the Commission's regulations governing the grant of access to swap data to certain foreign and domestic authorities by SDRs, as well as changes to certain other regulations unrelated to such access.
