New phase 3 reporting entities
7.5A.73(1)
For the purposes of regulations 7.5A.71 and 7.5A.72 , this regulation applies to a new phase 3 reporting entity, in relation to an OTC derivative transaction or an OTC derivative position, at all times during a period: (a) starting on the day the entity becomes a phase 3 reporting entity; and (b) ending at the end of the quarter day that next follows 2 successive disqualifying quarter days for the entity.
Example:
An entity becomes a phase 3 reporting entity on 1 November 2015. However, 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2016 are both disqualifying quarter days for the entity.
This regulation applies to the entity during a period starting on 1 November 2015 and ending at the end of 30 June 2016 (the quarter day that next follows the disqualifying quarter days on 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2016).
Continuing phase 3 reporting entities
7.5A.73(2)
For the purposes of regulations 7.5A.71 and 7.5A.72 , this regulation applies to a continuing phase 3 reporting entity, in relation to an OTC derivative transaction or an OTC derivative position, at all times during a period: (a) starting on the day after the quarter day that next follows 2 successive qualifying quarter days for the entity; and (b) ending at the end of the quarter day that next follows 2 successive disqualifying quarter days for the entity.
Example:
An entity becomes a phase 3 reporting entity on 1 November 2015. However, 31 December 2015 and 31 March 2016 are both disqualifying quarter days for the entity, so this regulation stops applying under subregulation (1) at the end of 30 June 2016.
30 June 2016 and 30 September 2016 are qualifying quarter days for the entity. This regulation applies to the entity again during the period starting on 1 January 2017 (the day after the quarter day that next follows the qualifying quarter days) and ending as provided for by paragraph (2)(b).
