  <description><![CDATA[ The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or 
``Commission'') is requesting comment on whether to extend the 
exemption granted under Part 35 of the Commission's regulations to 
certain overthecounter (``OTC'') swaps that do not meet certain of 
the requirements otherwise imposed by Commission Regulation 35.2. This 
exemption has been requested by ICE Clear U.S., Inc. (``ICE Clear''), a 
registered derivatives clearing organization. The Commission is also 
requesting comment on whether ICE Futures U.S., Inc. (``ICE Futures 
U.S.'') floor traders and floor brokers who are registered with the 
Commission, when trading for their own accounts, may be determined to 
be eligible swap participants and permitted to enter into certain 
specified OTC swap transactions. This exemption has been requested by 
ICE Futures U.S., a designated contract market. Authority for extending 
this relief is found in Section 4(c) of the Commodity Exchange Act  (``CEA'' or ``Act'').\1\<br/>
    \1\ 7 U.S.C. Sec.  6(c).
