SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1. Title: Ongoing Data Collection of Centrally Cleared Transactions
in the U.S. Repurchase Agreement Market.
OMB Control Number: 1505-0259.
Type of Request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The Office of Financial Research (``Office'') is
requesting a renewal of the information collection covering centrally
cleared transactions in the U.S. repurchase agreement (``repo'') market
which was established by a Final Rule in 2019. The Financial Stability
Oversight Council (``Council'') recommended an ongoing collection of
repo data in its 2016 Annual Report to Congress and maintained this
recommendation in its 2017 Annual Report. The expanded monitoring of
the repo market made possible by this collection appropriately meets
Council duties and purposes because of this market's crucial role in
providing short-term funding and performing other functions for U.S.
markets. The data also supports the calculation of the Secured
Overnight Funding Rate (``SOFR''), which was selected by the
Alternative Reference Rates Committee (``ARRC'') as its preferred
alternative rate to U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate
(``LIBOR''), as well as the Broad General Collateral Rate (``BGCR''),
helping fulfill another Council recommendation on the creation of
alternative reference rates.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(``Dodd-Frank Act''), the Office is authorized to issue rules and
regulations in order to collect and standardize data on behalf of the
Council to promote Council goals, such as helping to identify and
monitor risks to financial stability. The ability of the Office to
collect centrally cleared repo data in this rule derives from the
authority to promulgate regulations for the collection of financial
transaction and position data of financial companies through the Data
Center in 12 U.S.C. 5344(b)(1). The promulgation of regulations for the
type and scope of data collected by the Data Center is done pursuant to
the general Office rulemaking authority contained in 12 U.S.C. 5343(c)
which states the Office shall issue rules, regulations, and orders to
the extent necessary to carry out the purposes and duties of the
Office. The Office must consult with the Chairperson of the Council
under Sec. 5343(c) prior to the promulgation of any rules--this
consultation occurred prior to the publication of the rule.
The collection requires reporting by certain U.S. central
counterparties (``CCPs'') for repo transactions. The collection serves
two primary purposes:
[[Page 48961]]
(1) enhancing the ability of the Council and the Office to identify and
monitor risks to financial stability; and (2) supporting the
calculation of certain reference rates. The collection is used by the
Office to improve the Council and member agencies' monitoring of the
U.S. repo market through access to daily transaction data. The
collection is also be used by Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY)
as input into the calculation of the SOFR and BGCR. The Council
recognized in prior annual reports that fragilities in LIBOR made the
financial system vulnerable to instability and recommended the creation
of alternative reference rates such as the SOFR and BGCR, demonstrating
the nexus of rate production to financial stability. The Office also
uses these data for related duties and purposes as contemplated by the
Dodd-Frank Act. The Office supports the Council and its member agencies
by providing collected data.
