CSA Derivatives Data Report Exemptions

Published on: Feb 21, 2025

On Feb. 20, CSA on unique product identifier reporting requirements.

  • CSA issued Notice 96-306 on Order 96-933 re exemptions from derivatives reporting.
  • Enabled participants to report unique product identifiers for commodity derivatives as required under current rules after amendments come into effect in Jul. 25, #140360.
  • Also reported by CSA NBW, CSA NVS, CSA BC, CSA ALB, CSA OSC (release), CSA Que.
  • Reporting Exemption
  • Provided participants with exemptions for a limited time to enable them to continue to report unique product identifiers (UPIs) for commodity derivatives as required by rules.
  • Blanket order enabled trade repositories to reflect exemption in validation procedures.
  • TR UPI that is reported in creation data or lifecycle event data is not required to be updated to derivatives service bureau (DSB) UPI after the revocation date.
  • Must be done in accordance with Order 96-933, between Jul. 25 and revocation date.
  • Lifecycle data that includes a UPI and is reported after revocation must be reported as a DSB UPI even if creation data in respect of derivative was reported as a TR UPI.
  • Recognized that it may be difficult/costly for repositories to keep separate data for existing derivatives, participants may have to change trade reporting UPI to DSB UPI.
  • Encouraged market participants to contact their trade repositories to understand any upcoming changes that may apply to their specifications after the revocation date.
  • Effectiveness
  • Effective Jul. 25, 2025, and will cease to be effective Jan. 24, 2027, unless extended.
