SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-54969; File No. SR-FICC-2006-15]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Fixed Income Clearing Corporation;
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Modify its Rules To Diversify
and Standardize Clearing Fund Collateral Requirements Across the
Divisions To Improve Liquidity and Minimize Risk for Its Members

December 19, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On October 4, 2006, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation
(``FICC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') proposed rule change SR-FICC-2006-15 pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'').\1\
Notice of the proposal was published in the Federal Register on
November 9, 2006.\2\ A correction and extension of the comment period
was published in the Federal Register on November 22, 2006.\3\ No
comment letters were received. For the reasons discussed below, the
Commission is approving the proposed rule change as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54682 (November 1,
2006), 71 FR 65855.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54682A (November 17,
2006), 71 FR 67667. The correction addressed a typographical error
in the original release.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    FICC seeks to modify the rules of both of the Government Securities
Division (``GSD'') and the Mortgage-Backed Securities Division
(``MBSD'') (collectively, ``Divisions'') to diversify and standardize
Clearing Fund \4\ collateral requirements across the Divisions in order
to improve liquidity and minimize risk for FICC and its members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The GSD Rules refer to member collateral deposits as the
``Clearing Fund'' while the MBSD rules refer to these deposits as
the ``Participants Fund.'' The term ``Clearing Fund'' in this order
will refer to both.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Presently, both GSD and MBSD members may satisfy their Clearing
Fund requirements with cash deposits. Members may also satisfy a
portion of their Clearing Fund requirements with an open account
indebtedness fully secured by certain types of securities and/or
letters of credit. FICC is modifying its rules to: (1) Expand the types
of securities members may deposit to satisfy their Clearing Fund
requirements (``Eligible Clearing Fund Securities''); (2) establish
concentration limits with regard to members' use of Eligible Clearing
Fund Securities; (3) create a correlating range of haircuts to be
applied to the expanded types of Eligible Clearing Fund Securities; and
(4) eliminate letters of credit as a generally acceptable form of
collateral securing members' open account Clearing Fund indebtedness.

A. Revised Clearing Fund Components

(1) Cash
    Currently the rules of GSD require that the greater of $100,000 or
ten percent of a member's Clearing Fund requirement with a maximum of
$500,000 be made in the form of cash.\5\ The rules of MBSD currently do
not contain a minimum cash requirement. For both Divisions, the
proposed new cash collateral component will be the lesser of $5,000,000
or ten percent of a

member's Clearing Fund requirement with a minimum of $100,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ GSD Rule 4, Section 2(b)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) Securities
    Currently each Division of FICC accepts different types of
securities as Clearing Fund collateral. For example, GSD accepts Agency
securities but not mortgage-backed securities, and MBSD accepts
mortgage-backed securities but not Agency securities. In addition,
there are currently no concentration limits placed on securities
deposited as Clearing Fund collateral at either Division. In an effort
to standardize the securities that are eligible as Clearing Fund
collateral across the Divisions, FICC is modifying the rules of both
Divisions by adding a definition, ``Eligible Clearing Fund Securities''
(for GSD) and ``Eligible Participants Fund Securities'' (for MBSD) to
each Division's rules.\6\ As defined, Eligible Clearing Fund Securities
and Eligible Participants Fund Securities will be unmatured bonds which
are either an ``Eligible Clearing Fund Agency Security,'' an ``Eligible
Clearing Fund Mortgage-Backed Security'' or an ``Eligible Clearing Fund
Treasury Security.'' \7\ ``Eligible Clearing Fund Agency Security''
would be defined as a direct obligation of those U.S. agencies or
government sponsored enterprises as FICC may designate from time to
time that satisfies the criteria set forth in notices issued by FICC
from time to time. ``Eligible Clearing Fund Mortgage-Backed Security''
would be defined as a mortgage-backed pass through obligation issued by
those U.S. agencies or government sponsored enterprises as FICC may
designate from time to time that satisfies the criteria set forth in
notices issued by FICC from time to time. ``Eligible Clearing Fund
Treasury Security'' would be defined as a direct obligation of the U.S.
government that satisfies the criteria set forth in notices issued by
FICC from time to time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Initial eligibility criteria for each type of Eligible
Clearing Fund Securities and Eligible Participants Fund Securities
will be announced to members through an Important Notice prior to
the effective date of this proposed rule change. Any future changes
to the eligibility criteria will also be announced to members
through Important Notices in advance of such changes becoming
effective.
    \7\ In the MBSD Rules, these terms would be as follows:
``Eligible Participants Fund Agency Security,'' ``Eligible
Participants Fund Mortgage-Backed Security,'' and ``Eligible
Participants Fund Treasury Security.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) Security Concentration Provisions
    FICC is also establishing security concentration limits for
Clearing Fund deposits. A minimum of forty percent of a member's
required Clearing Fund deposit will have to be in cash or Eligible
Clearing Fund Treasury Securities. The remainder of a member's deposit
can be secured by cash or the pledge of Eligible Clearing Fund
Securities. However any deposits of Eligible Clearing Fund Agency
Securities or Eligible Clearing Fund Mortgage-Backed Securities in
excess of twenty-five percent of a member's required Clearing Fund
deposit will be subject to an additional haircut equal to twice the
percentage specified in the haircut schedule. Furthermore, no more than
twenty percent of a member's required Clearing Fund deposit can be
secured by pledged Eligible Clearing Fund Agency Securities of a single
issuer. Lastly, no member will be permitted to post as Clearing Fund
collateral Eligible Clearing Fund Agency Securities for which it is the
issuer.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ However, a member will be permitted to pledge Eligible
Clearing Fund Mortgage-Backed Securities for which it is the issuer
subject to a haircut specified in the haircut schedule. Initially
the haircut will be fourteen percent. If the member exceeded the
twenty-five percent concentration limit, the haircut initially will
be twenty-one percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) Letters of Credit and Other Adequate Assurances
    The provisions in the Divisions' Rules that pertain to Letter of
Credit Issuers are being modified to reflect that letters of credit are
no longer a generally accepted form of Clearing Fund collateral.\9\
Effective April 1, 2007 (the regular expiration date of letters of
credit), members that have letters of credit posted as collateral
(other than members, if any, that have been required to post letters of
credit for legal risk), will be required to replace the portion of the
Clearing Fund collateralized by letters of credit with either cash or
Eligible Clearing Fund Securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ FICC has found that in practice letters of credit are not as
liquid as cash and securities and therefore pose more risk to FICC
and its members when pledged as Clearing Fund collateral. FICC is,
however, reserving the right to require letters of credit from
members in those instances where a particular member has been found,
by FICC in its discretion, to present legal risk. GSD Rule 4,
Section 2(o) and MBSD Rule 2, Section 4 of Article IV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(5) Implementation Timeframes
    The foregoing rule changes will become effective thirty days after
an Important Notice is issued to members informing them that FICC's
systems are ready to accommodate such changes. The corresponding
changes to FICC's rules will be made at that time. On April 1, 2007,
changes pertaining to letters of credit will be made to FICC's rules.
(6) Alternative Proportions of Eligible Collateral
    As is currently the case under FICC's rules, FICC continues to
reserve the right to require different proportions of the Clearing Fund
collateral components as necessary to address any heightened legal or
insolvency risks presented by a member.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ GSD Rule 4, Section 2(o) and MBSD Rule 2, Section 4 of
Article IV.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    Section 19(b) of the Act directs the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such
organization.\11\ Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires that the
rules of a clearing agency be designed to assure the safeguarding of
securities and funds which are in the custody or control of the
clearing agency or for which it is responsible.\12\ The Commission
finds that FICC's rule change is consistent with these requirements
because by revising its rules governing the acceptable forms of
Clearing Fund collateral deposits to increase the liquidity of its
Clearing Fund and to minimize risk to FICC and its members, the
proposed rule change should better enable FICC to assure the
safeguarding of securities and funds in its custody or control or for
which it is responsible.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \13\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impact on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
in particular Section 17A of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-FICC-2006-15) be
and hereby is approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\15\

Deputy Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 02/01/2019 to 02/28/2019. The Agency is providing notice of
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs and MCANs (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under the TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., a chemical substance may be
either an ``existing'' chemical substance or a ``new'' chemical
substance. Any chemical substance that is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory
of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory) is classified as a ``new
chemical substance,'' while a chemical substance that is listed on the
TSCA Inventory is classified as an ``existing chemical substance.''
(See TSCA section 3(11).) For more information about the TSCA Inventory
go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN or SNUN, as appropriate,
before initiating the activity. EPA will review the notice, make a risk
determination on the chemical substance or significant new use, and
take appropriate action as described in TSCA section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. This is referred to as a test marketing

exemption, or TME. For more information about the requirements
applicable to a new chemical go to: http://www.epa.gov/oppt/newchems.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork
burdens?

    No.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting confidential business information (CBI). Do not
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email.
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be
CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark
the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that
does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at http://www.epa.gov/dockets/comments.html.

II. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (See the Federal
Register of May 12, 1995 (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the passage
of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in
information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in
particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an
effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this
information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make
it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an
initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was
received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting
manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses
identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical
substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by
the letter ``A'' (e.g., P-18-1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid
submissions. Note also that future versions of the following tables may
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data
in the tables.

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0509]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Appeals of Science-Based Decisions Above the Division
Level at the Center for Veterinary Medicine

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain
information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection
requirements for appeals of science-based decisions above the division
level at the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM).

DATES: Submit electronic or written comments on the collection of
information by January 5, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to http://www.regulations.gov. Submit written comments on the
collection of information to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-
305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061,
Rockville, MD 20852. All comments should be identified with the docket
number found in brackets in the heading of this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FDA PRA Staff, Office of Operations,
Food and Drug Administration, 8455 Colesville Rd., COLE-14526, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning
each proposed collection of information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting
the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement,
FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set
forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Appeals of Science-Based Decisions Above the Division Level at CVM--21
CFR Part 10.75 (OMB Control Number 0910-0566)--Revision

    Respondents: Respondents to this collection of information are
applicants that wish to submit a request for review of a scientific
dispute.
    CVM's Guidance for Industry #79--``Dispute Resolution Procedures
for Science-based Decisions on Products Regulated by the Center for
Veterinary Medicine,'' describes the process by which CVM formally
resolves disputes relating to scientific controversies. A scientific
controversy involves issues concerning a specific product regulated by
CVM related to matters of technical expertise and requires specialized
education, training, or experience to be understood and resolved.
Further, the guidance details information on how the Agency intends to
interpret and apply provisions of the existing regulations regarding
internal Agency review of decisions. In addition, the guidance outlines
the established procedures for persons who are sponsors, applicants or
manufacturers, for animal drugs or other products regulated by CVM,
that wish to submit a request for review of a scientific dispute. When
a sponsor, applicant, or manufacturer has a scientific disagreement
with a written decision by CVM, they may submit a request for a review
of that decision by following the established Agency channels of
supervision for review.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance
costs associated with this collection of information.

    CVM encourages applicants to begin the resolution of science-based
disputes with discussions with the review team/group, including the
Team Leader or Division Director. The Center prefers that differences
of opinion regarding science or science-based policy be resolved
between the review team/group and the applicant. If the matter is not
resolved by this preferred method, then CVM recommends that the
applicant follow the procedure in Guidance for Industry #79. Of the two
respondents who were advised on the procedure during the past 3 years,
one has not followed up to initiate it and the other is working with
the review team/group to resolve the issue(s). Therefore, this
estimated annual reporting burden is based on CVM's previous experience
in handling formal appeals for scientific disputes.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.
