**Affirmed position.** The securities financing transaction regulation characterizes SFTR as a huge data-gathering exercise for securities-lending participants. This independently corresponds to the scale component of Kaal's reporting-burden claim. The abstract does not identify pre-screening, staffing, transaction costs, or hedge-fund-specific effects.
