On November 17, 2021, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “Commission” or the “CFTC”) issued a request for information and comment regarding whether the Commission should amend its swap-clearing requirement rules, or take other actions, to address the cessation of certain interbank offered rates (“IBORs”) (e.g., the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)) used as benchmark reference rates in various derivatives contracts, including many subject to the clearing requirement, and the market adoption of alternative reference rates – namely, overnight, risk-free reference rates (“RFRs”), such as the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”). The CFTC is requesting information and comments on these issues but has not yet proposed actual changes or actions.
