Commodity Swap Category/Other Commodity Swap Category (e.g., CFTC Public Masking)

Purpose

This field allows the SDR to know the applicable values to disseminate for masked products on the public ticker.

The underlying assets of publicly reportable swaps that do not reference or are not economically related to one of the contracts published by the Commission shall be publicly disseminated by limiting the geographic detail of the underlying assets, pursuant to Part 43 – Appendix D, and E. For these swaps, the unique product identifier shall not be disseminated in order to preserve the masking, instead, all of the product fields that are not the underlier will be disseminated along with the information from Part 43-Appendix D, and E.
