Coalition Letter on "Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants"

Re: “Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants” / File Number RIN 3038-AC97
 
I. Introduction and Summary of Comments
 
The Coalition for Derivatives End-Users (the “Coalition”) is pleased to respond to the request for comments by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or the “Commission”) entitled “Margin Requirements for Uncleared Swaps for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants.” The Coalition represents companies that use derivatives predominantly to manage risks. Hundreds of companies have been active in the Coalition throughout the legislative and regulatory process, and our message is straightforward: Financial regulatory reform measures should promote economic stability and transparency without imposing undue burdens on derivatives end-users. Imposing unnecessary regulation on derivatives end-users, who did not contribute to the financial crisis, would create more economic instability, restrict job growth, decrease productive investment, and hamper U.S. competitiveness in the global economy.
