## Question put to the AI subject

Which categories of swap instruments were actually subject to the pre-trade mid-market mark disclosure requirement under §23.431(a)(3) prior to its elimination by the December 2025 CFTC final rule, and does 'eliminated in its entirety' mean the requirement was removed for all swap types?

## AI subject's verbatim answer

PTMMM disclosure is no longer required for any swap subject to § 23.431, including:...Cleared credit default swaps (index and single-name)...The exemption is product-agnostic across the desk's covered swap book.

## Verbatim regulator text contradicting the answer

> the Commission is eliminating the PTMMM Requirement in its entirety as proposed by deleting paragraphs (i) and (ii) of § 23.431(a)(3) and moving the price disclosure requirement currently in such paragraph (i) and the compensation disclosure requirement currently in such paragraph (ii) into paragraphs (2) and (3) of § 23.431(a), respectively. [Combined with 23.431(c) exceptions: "Paragraph (a) of this section shall not apply with respect to a transaction that is: (1) Initiated on a designated contract market; (2) Initiated with a counterparty whose identity is not known to the swap entity prior to execution on a swap execution facility..."]

## Failure mode

**`inference_drift`** — Inference drift — the AI inferred a conclusion the regulator's text does not warrant, often by combining unrelated provisions.
