in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Identified banking products are generally excluded from the Commodity Exchange Act and from CFTC regulation. A federal banking agency can remove that exclusion for a specific product if it actually works like a swap. The exclusion also doesn't apply to a bank product outside any federal banking agency's oversight that acts like a swap designed to dodge securities or commodities laws.

(a) Exclusion Except as subsections (b) and (c) allow: (1) the Commodity Exchange Act does not apply to an identified banking product, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) may not exercise regulatory authority over it; and (2) the legal definitions of "security-based swap" and "security-based swap agreement," found in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Commodity Exchange Act, do not include any identified banking product. (b) Exception A federal banking agency that regulates a bank may except that bank's identified banking product from the exclusion in (a). To do this, the agency must consult with the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and determine that the product: (1) would meet the definition of a "swap" under the Commodity Exchange Act or a "security-based swap" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (2) has become known to the trade as a swap or security-based swap, or has otherwise been structured as a banking product to evade the Commodity Exchange Act, the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. (c) Exception The exclusion in (a) does not apply to a banking product that: (1) comes from a bank not under any appropriate federal banking agency's regulatory jurisdiction; (2) meets the definition of "swap" or "security-based swap" under those same laws; and (3) has become known to the trade as a swap or security-based swap, or was otherwise structured to evade the Commodity Exchange Act, the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
