SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82675; File No. SR-LCH SA-2018-001]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; LCH SA; Notice of Filing of
Proposed Rule Change, Security-Based Swap Submission, or Advance Notice
Relating to Self-Referencing Transactions

February 9, 2018.
    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 January 31, 2018, Banque Centrale de Compensation, which conducts
business under the name LCH SA (``LCH SA''), filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change
described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared
primarily by LCH SA. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    LCH SA is proposing to amend its CDS Clearing Supplement and
Section 4 of the CDS Clearing Procedures in order to allow acceptation
of client's self-referencing transactions on their clearing broker. The
text of the proposed rule change has been annexed as Exhibit 5.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, LCH SA 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. LCH SA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of these statements.

A. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In connection with the clearing of single name CDS referencing
banks which are clearing members of CDSClear, LCH SA proposes to modify
its eligibility requirements to allow for the clearing of clients
``self-referencing transactions'' on their clearing broker.
    A ``self-referencing transaction'' refers to a single name CDS
referencing a reference entity which is:

--In the case of a house transaction, either the clearing member itself
or an affiliate of the clearing member;
--In the case of a client transaction, either the client itself or an
affiliate of the client, or the clearing broker of the client or an
affiliate of the clearing broker.

    Currently, clearing of both house and client self-referencing
transactions are prohibited by LCH SA whereas clients commonly trade
single name CDS referencing banks in the uncleared world (as they face
directly their counterparty). Not allowing for the clearing of those
transactions as a consequence of the intermediation of a clearing
member required for clients to clear would thus impact their ability to
continue trading the financial CDS single name market, as well as
restrict their choice for clearing brokers.
    LCH SA is proposing to allow clients self-referencing transactions
when the reference entity referenced by the single name CDS is either
the client's clearing broker or an affiliate of the client's clearing
broker.
    The risk arising from clients self-referencing transactions on
their clearing broker would be captured by the existing framework and
more specifically by the Self-Referencing Margin which charges the
minimum between zero and the net Profit and Loss resulting from a
credit event of the self-referenced name across all index, single name
and index swaption transactions using a Recovery Rate of 0%. The net
Profit and Loss calculation allows for netting of the exposures arising
from index, index swaption and single name CDS transactions if they
reference the same contractual definition and transaction type.
    The proposed rule change will consist in amending the following
provisions of the CDS Clearing Supplement and Section 4 of the
Procedures:

--The eligibility requirement in respect of single names in Section 4
of the Procedures (paragraph 4.1(c)(iii)(B)(11)) to make the
distinction between house and clients self-referencing transactions so
as to allow clients to clear single name CDS transactions referencing
their clearing broker or one of their affiliates but neither clients
self-referencing transactions referencing the client itself nor house
self-referencing transactions; and

--the provisions on the self referencing transactions in Part A and B
of the CDS Clearing Supplement (Sections 1.2 and 9 and Appendix XIII of
Parts A and B) to make a distinction between the remedies for house and
client self-referencing transactions. More specifically, following the
occurrence of a house self-referencing transaction, the clearing member
shall notify LCH SA and the affected transactions could be auctioned
and liquidated, whereas following the occurrence of a client self-
referencing transaction, the clearing broker of such client shall only
notify LCH SA when it is a self-referencing transaction on the client
itself (or one of its affiliates) in which case the positions could be
auctioned and liquidated, but if the self-referencing transactions
reference the clearing broker, then no specific action is required from
the clearing broker.

    LCH SA is also taking this opportunity to make the following minor
amendments to the CDS Clearing Supplement:

--Adding a missing reference to the Standard European Financial
Corporate transaction types (Section 2.3 of Part B); and
--adding a reference to the Standard European Senior Non Preferred
Financial Corporate transaction type (Section 2.3 of Part B) for which
no change is needed in LCH SA's risk methodology as the specific risks
arising from adding Senior Non Preferred transactions will be captured
by the exact same framework developed when HoldCo entities were added;
and
--clarifying that the underlying index transaction of an index swaption
is an LCH cleared index transaction (Sections 1.2 and 7.1 of Part C).
2. Statutory Basis
    LCH SA believes that the proposed rule change in connection with
the clearing of clients self-referencing transactions referencing the
clearing broker is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 \3\ (the ``Act'') and the
regulations thereunder, including the standards under Rule 17Ad-22.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Specifically, Section 17(A)(b)(3)(F) of the Act 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 derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions and
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.\5\ As noted above, the current risk management framework
and more specifically the Self-Referencing Margin, already
appropriately manages the risk arising from the clearing of clients
self-referencing transactions on their clearing broker such that the
proposed rule change will have no impact on the safeguarding of
securities and funds under control of LCH SA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    LCH SA believes that the proposed change satisfies the requirements
of Rule 17Ad-22(b)(2), (b)(3), (e)(1), (e)(4), and (e)(6).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(2), (b)(3), (e)(1), (e)(4), and
(e)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 17Ad-22(b)(2) requires a clearing agency to use margin
requirements to limit its credit exposures to participants under normal
market conditions and to use risk-based models and parameters to set
margin requirements.\7\ Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3) requires each clearing
agency acting as a central counterparty for security-based swaps to
maintain sufficient financial resources to withstand, at a minimum, a
default by the two participant families to which it has the largest
exposure in extreme but plausible market conditions (the ``cover two
standard''). Rule 17Ad-22(e)(4) requires a covered clearing agency to
effectively identify, measure, monitor, and manage its credit exposures
to participants and those arising from its payment, clearing and
settlement processes by maintaining sufficient financial resources,\8\
and Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6) requires a covered clearing agency that provides
central counterparty services to cover its credit exposures to its
participants by establishing a risk-based margin system that meets
certain minimum requirements.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(22) [sic].
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(4)(i).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(6)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, the Self-Referencing Margin in LCH SA current
risk framework captures the worst potential Profit and Loss impact on a
clearing member client portfolio resulting from the default of such
clearing member which implies that the margin requirements set by LCH
SA and use of such margin requirements limit LCH SA's credit exposures
to participants in clearing clients self-referencing transactions
referencing their clearing broker under normal market conditions,
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(b)(2). LCH SA also believes that its
current risk-based margin methodology, including the Self-Referencing
Margin) takes into account, and generates margin levels commensurate
with, the risks and particular attributes of clients self-referencing
transactions on their clearing broker at the product and portfolio
levels, appropriate to the relevant market it serves, consistent with
Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(i) and (v). In addition, LCH SA believes that the
margin calculation under the current CDSClear margin framework would
sufficiently account for the 5-day liquidation period for house account
portfolio and 7-day liquidation period for client portfolio and
therefore, is reasonably designed to cover LCH SA's potential future
exposure to participants in the interval between the last margin
collection and the close out of positions following a participant
default, consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(iii).
    Further, Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3) requires a clearing agency acting as a
central counterparty for security-based swaps to establish policies and
procedures reasonably designed to maintain the ``cover two
standard''.\10\ Similarly, Rule 17Ad-22(e)(4)(ii) requires a covered
clearing agency that provides central counterparty services for
security-based swaps to maintain financial resources additional to
margin to enable it to cover a wide range of foreseeable stress
scenarios that include, but are not limited to, meeting the cover two
standard.\11\ LCH SA believes that its current Default Fund methodology
will appropriately incorporate the risk of clearing clients self-
referencing transactions on their clearing broker, as together with the
existing CDSClear margin framework (and more specifically the Self-
Referencing Margin), will be reasonably designed to ensure that LCH SA
maintains sufficient financial resources to meet the cover two
standard, in accordance with Rule 17Ad-22(b)(3) and (e)(4)(ii).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(3).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(4)(ii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(b)(3) and (e)(4)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    LCH SA also believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1), which requires each covered clearing agency's
policies and procedures reasonably designed to provide for a well-
founded, clear, transparent, and enforceable legal basis for each
aspect of its activities in all relevant jurisdictions.\13\ As
described above, the proposed rule change would make a clear
distinction on the clearing eligibility and remedies for house versus

clients self-referencing transactions. LCH SA believes that this change
would provide for a clear and transparent legal basis for CDSClear
clearing eligibility requirements, consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons stated above, LCH SA believes that the proposed
rule change is consistent with the requirements of prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions and derivatives
agreements, contracts and transactions, and assuring the safeguarding
of securities and funds in the custody or control of the clearing
agency or for which it is responsible, in accordance with Rule
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Section 17A(b)(3)(I) of the Act requires that the rules of a
clearing agency not impose any burden on competition not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.\15\ LCH SA does
not believe that the proposed rule change would impose burdens on
competition that are not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(I).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Indeed, firstly the proposed rule change would apply equally to all
CDSClear members and clients, and secondly it would give clients access
to clearing of the same universe of products irrespective of their
clearing broker.
    Further, the proposed rule change does not adversely affect the
ability of such clearing members or other market participants generally
to engage in cleared transactions or to access clearing services
offered by LCH SA.
    Therefore, LCH SA does not believe that the proposed rule change
imposes any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received. LCH SA will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by LCH SA.

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1-percent annual chance) Flood
Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
boundaries or zone designations, and/or regulatory floodways
(hereinafter referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on
the indicated Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities
listed in the table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance
Study (FIS) reports, currently in effect for the listed communities.
The flood hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to
calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: Each LOMR was finalized as in the table below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and
Information eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and 90 days have elapsed since that publication.
The Deputy Associate Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard information is the basis for the
floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    This new or modified flood hazard information, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    This new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at https://msc.fema.gov.

Basis and Purpose

    The Waterways Analysis and Management System was implemented to
ensure a complete and organized process for matching waterway
attributes and services, most significantly the aids to navigation
system, with user needs. The Missouri River study includes navigable
waters from Sioux City, IA to St. Louis, MO and specifically targets
the navigation channel, marking of the navigation channel, movement of
commerce and navigation support for the diverse uses of the river. WAMS
studies are conducted periodically to better understand users' needs
and facilitate safe and effective waterways. Some of the aspects
addressed by WAMS are:
     Are all the aids necessary?
     Should aids be added, changed or removed?
     Is the right aid being used for the job?
     Are the aids marked in a correct and visible manner?
     Are these aids being used properly by both the Coast Guard
and the waterway users?
    It is the intent of Coast Guard Sector Upper Mississippi River to
collect comments and materials from this listening session, along with
navigation surveys and other information, to establish and preserve the
reasonable needs of navigation on this river.
    This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

Martin Malloy,
 Captain of the Port, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Upper Mississippi River.
