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

    In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements
concerning the purpose 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 III below. CME has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

    As a derivatives clearing organization (``DCO'') registered with
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC''), CME periodically
reviews the acceptable collateral and limits associated with its
clearing business. The changes announced in the Clearing Notice are
part of this normal process. The changes relate to the maximum limit
for certain ``Category 3'' collateral as specified on CME's Web site.
Currently, the maximum allowable limit for utilization of the Category
3 Assets is the lesser of (a) 40% of core margin requirements and
concentration requirements per origin and asset account or (b) $3
billion per Clearing Member Firm across all settlement accounts. The
Notice would announce that, effective on Friday, May 10, 2013, the
maximum allowable limit for utilization of Category 3 Assets will
become the lesser of (a) 40% of core margin requirements and
concentration requirements per origin and asset account or (b) $5
billion per Clearing Member Firm across all settlement accounts. The
purpose of the change is to increase the flexibility of CME clearing
members to post additional Category 3 collateral in anticipation of an
increase to the amount of initial margin posted at CME due to the
CFTC's impending June 11, 2013 clearing mandate effective date.
    Although the changes could impact the makeup of the collateral used
by any particular clearing member to meet its margin requirements, the
changes would have no impact on the level of margin collected.\3\
Further, the changes will have no impact at all on the collection of
margin in relation to CME's CDS clearing offering, because the CDS
business has separate requirements that apply in particular to posting
collateral in connection with CDS activities. The Notice would not
change those separate CDS-specific requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Historically, CME has aligned the size of its committed
liquidity facility with the amount of Category 3 assets it was
willing to accept as collateral. For example, in 2012 CME's
committed liquidity facility was $3 billion and the amount of
Category 3 collateral it accepted was also $3 billion. CME increased
its committed liquidity facility and obtained a $5 billion liquidity
facility for 2013. When CME increased its liquidity facility it did
not immediately increase its Category 3 collateral limits in tandem.
CME now plans to increase the limits on its acceptance of Category 3
collateral in advance of the Category 2 clearing mandate. Since CME
already increased its committed liquidity facility to $5 billion,
this change does not impact its overall risk profile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CME notes that it has also submitted the proposed rule changes that
are the subject of this filing to its primary regulator, the CFTC, in
CME Submission 13-155.
    CME believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Exchange Act, including Section 17A of the Act.\4\
Specifically, CME believes the changes are consistent with Section
17A(b)(3)(F)

of the Act,\5\ which 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, to
assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody and control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible, and to protect investors and the public interest. As a DCO
registered with the CFTC, CME believes the proposed Advisory Notice
will facilitate posting of collateral in relation to products that are
subject to the CFTC's impending clearing mandates and that such changes
are in compliance with applicable CFTC requirements related to such
matters. In addition, although the changes could impact the makeup of
the collateral used by any particular clearing member to meet its
margin requirements for CFTC regulated products, the changes would have
no impact on the overall level of margin collected. CME believes the
Notice is consistent with the requirements of the Act because
facilitating posting of collateral in compliance with applicable CFTC
regulations promotes the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement
of derivative agreements, contracts and transactions and facilitates
the protection of investors and the public interest. Furthermore, the
proposed Advisory Notice is limited to CME's business as a DCO and
therefore does not significantly affect any securities operations of
the clearing agency or any related rights or obligations of the
clearing agency or persons using such service. For these reasons, CME
believes the proposed rule is consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\6\

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will 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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    Section 19(b) of the Act \7\ 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. The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act,\8\ and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to CME. Specifically, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\9\ which requires, among other things, that
the rules of a registered 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 because it will facilitate the posting of collateral in
relation to products that are subject to the CFTC's impending clearing
mandates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1. In approving this proposed rule change, the
Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its filing, CME requested that the Commission approve this
proposed rule change on an accelerated basis for good cause shown. CME
notes that the products affected by this filing, and the CME's
operations as a DCO clearing such products, are regulated by the CFTC
under the Commodity Exchange Act and are therefore limited to CME's
business as a DCO and do not significantly affect any securities
clearing operations of CME or any related rights or obligations of the
clearing agency or persons using such service. CME believes the
Advisory Notice simply increases the flexibility afforded to CME in
executing its responsibilities as a DCO and does not have any negative
impact on its overall risk profile. Additionally, CME has indicated
that not approving this request on an accelerated basis would have a
significant impact on the clearing business of CME as a DCO.
    The Commission finds that there is good cause, pursuant to Section
19(b)(2) of the Act,\10\ for approving the proposed rule change prior
to the thirtieth day after the date of publication of notice in the
Federal Register because: (i) The proposed rule change does not

significantly affect any of CME's securities clearing operations or any
related rights or obligations of CME or persons using such service;
(ii) the products affected by this filing, and the CME's operations as
a DCO clearing such products, are regulated by the CFTC under the
Commodity Exchange Act; and (iii) CME has indicated that not providing
accelerated approval would have a significant impact on its swaps
clearing business as a designated clearing organization.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\11\ that the proposed rule change (SR-CME-2013-06) be, and hereby
is, approved on an accelerated basis.

its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this NPRM contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you
clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page
of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat
such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will
not be placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing
CBI should be sent to Stephen Elwin, Aerospace Engineer, ECO Branch,
FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803. Any commentary that
the FAA receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be
placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Discussion

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has
issued EASA AD 2019-0286, dated November 26, 2019 (referred to after
this as ``the MCAI''), to address the unsafe condition on these
products. The MCAI states:

    Engineering analysis has identified that 38 LPC front cases have
non-optimal material properties. This could inhibit the intended
function of the LPC front case to contain certain engine failures.
This condition, if not corrected, could, in case of fan blade
failure, lead to high energy debris release, possibly resulting in
damage to, and reduced control of, the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Rolls-Royce
developed an updated life management and issued the NMSB,
identifying those ESN that have an affected part installed, and
providing the corresponding limit (date) for in-shop front fan case
replacement. For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
removal from service of the affected engines to replace the affected
parts. This [EASA] AD also prohibits re-installation of affected
parts.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2020-0424.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Rolls-Royce Alert Non-Modification Service
Bulletin (NMSB) Trent 1000 72-AK294, dated July 16, 2019. The NMSB
contains the serial numbers of the affected LPC front cases, the engine
serial number on which these LPC front cases are installed, and the
date to remove each engine from service. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by EASA and is approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement
with the European Community, EASA has notified us of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI and service information referenced
above. The FAA is proposing this AD because it evaluated all the
relevant information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require removing the LPC front case from
service and replacing it with a part eligible for installation.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects three engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.

    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:
