In an effort from ISDA and also in alignment with the Governor's Red Tape Reduction Act, ISDA has decided to consolidate and combine like-minded rule chapters to simplify and streamline the rulemaking process and assist the regulated community. The following is a list of the rule chapters that are being consolidated:
