SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-68541; File No. SR-ICEEU-2012-19]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Europe Limited; Notice
of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Related
to Delivery Margin Rates for Physically Deliverable Contracts for
Energy Clearing Members

December 27, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 19, 2012, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II and III below, which
Items have been prepared primarily by ICE Clear Europe. ICE Clear
Europe filed the proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the
Act,\3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii) thereunder,\4\ so that the proposal
was effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed change from
interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The purpose of the change is to implement enhancements to the
margining of physically deliverable positions that have expired and are
in tender/delivery. The new delivery margin rates and contingent
variation margin price sources have been proposed by ICE Clear Europe.
All capitalized terms not defined herein are defined in the ICE Clear
Europe Rules.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICE Clear Europe included
statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule
change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. ICE Clear Europe has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,

of the most significant aspects of these statements.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by ICE Clear Europe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In addition to providing clearing services for credit default
swaps, ICE Clear Europe also provides clearing services for non-
securities contracts in energy and emissions markets (``Energy Futures
Products''). ICE Clear Europe implemented enhancements to the margining
of physically deliverable positions for certain Energy Futures Products
that have expired and are in tender/delivery. In doing so, ICE Clear
Europe has eliminated the use of SPAN for calculating margin for
physically-deliverable positions and instead replaced it with
calculation of a separate Delivery Margin for certain Energy Futures
Products. The Delivery Margin parameters can be found at https://www.theice.com/ClearEuropeSpanParameterFiles.shtml in the Deliverable
Contracts Security Rates file. All of the SPAN[supreg] \6\ margin
parameters for positions that are not in tender/delivery remain
unchanged.

Exchange Inc., used herein under license. Chicago Mercantile
Exchange Inc. assumes no responsibility in connection with the use
of SPAN by any person or entity. SPAN is a risk evaluation and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Data from the sources referenced below will be used in connection
with the Contingent Variation Margin calculations.

    The mid-prices are used and calculated where only bid and offer
prices are available. Rounding conventions will be the same as those
that currently apply to the relevant future contracts.
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \7\ requires, among other things,
that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt
and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and,
to the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and
transactions. ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed change with
respect to Energy Futures Products is consistent with the requirements
of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to ICE
Clear Europe, in particular, with Section 17A(b)(3)(F),\8\ because
enhancements to the margining of physically deliverable positions for
certain Energy Futures Products that have expired and are in tender/
delivery protects investors and the public interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICE Clear Europe does not believe the proposed change would have
any impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed change have not been
solicited or received. ICE Clear Europe will notify the Commission of
any written comments received by ICE Clear Europe.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(ii)
\10\ thereunder because it primarily affects the futures clearing
operations of the clearing agency with respect to futures that are not
security futures, and does not significantly affect any securities
clearing operations of the clearing agency or any related rights or
obligations of the clearing agency or persons using such service. At
any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\11\

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Summary of Information About the Project/Document

    The National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA) prepared
this draft document for the purpose of describing an approach to using
toxicogenomic data in risk assessment and illustrating the approach
with a case study. The approach and case study described in this draft
report were developed by a team of scientists at EPA laboratories and
centers, and outside organizations including The Hamner Institute, the
National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, and the EPA's
Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Bioinformatics Center at the
University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Rutgers
University. The approach outlined is expected to be useful to risk
assessors in EPA, as well as other federal agencies, and the scientific
community at large. A case study to test the approach for dibutyl
phthalate (DBP) is described. The case study presented in this draft
document is a separate activity from any of the ongoing IRIS human
health assessments for the phthalates.

II. Workshop Information

    Members of the public may attend the workshop as observers, and
there will be a limited time for comments from the public. Pre-

Whew, a pause in the questions on this rule.  I think we have nothing on calendar right now.

Do you have an electronic schedule for this rulemaking that I can share with interagency folk?  I only had a paper copy, and a couple of folks asked about timeline.

Thank you!

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor

Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 19d-3; SEC File No. 270-245; OMB Control No. 3235-0204.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously approved collection of
information provided for in Rule 19d-3 (17 CFR 240.19d-33)--
Applications for Review of Final Disciplinary Sanctions, Denials of
Membership, Participation or Association, or Prohibitions or
Limitations of Access to Services Imposed by Self-Regulatory
Organizations.
    Rule 19d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a
et seq.) prescribes the form and content of applications to the
Commission by persons desiring stays of final disciplinary sanctions
and summary action of self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') for
which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency. The
Commission uses the information provided in the application filed
pursuant to Rule 19d-3 to review final actions taken by SROs including:
(1) Disciplinary sanctions; (2) denials of membership, participation or
association; and (3) prohibitions on or limitations of access to SRO
services.
    It is estimated that approximately 15 respondents will utilize this
application procedure annually, with a total burden of 270 hours, for
all respondents to complete all submissions. This figure is based upon
past submissions. The staff estimates that the average number of hours
necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d-3 is 18 hours.
The average cost per hour, to complete each submission, is
approximately $101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for all
respondents is $27,270. (15 submissions x 18 hours x $101 per hour).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to: Shagufta_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson,
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria VA 22312 or send an e-mail to: PRA_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days of
this notice.
