Overview

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC' or "Commission') is publishing for comment a proposed amendment to specify the form and manner with which security-based swap data repositories ("SDRs') will be required to make security-based swap ("SBS') data available to the Commission under Exchange Act Rule 13n- 4(b)(5). The Commission is proposing to require SDRs to make these data available according to schemas that will be published on the Commission's Web site and that will reference the international industry standards Financial products Markup Language ("FpML') and Financial Information eXchange Markup Language ("FIXML').
