DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30691; Amdt. No. 3343]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective October 22, 2009. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of October 22, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

Standards Branch (AFS-420) Flight Technologies and Programs Division,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. This
amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-54, OMB Control No. 3235-0056]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Form 8-A

    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 this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Form 8-A (17 CFR 249.208a) is a registration statement used to
register a class of securities under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g))
(``Exchange Act''). Section 12(a) (15 U.S.C. 78l(a)) of the Exchange
Act makes it unlawful for any member, broker, or dealer to effect any
transaction in any security (other than an exempted security) on a
national securities exchange unless such security has been registered
under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). Exchange Act Section
12(b) establishes the registration procedures. Exchange Act Section
12(g) requires an issuer that is not a bank or bank holding company to
register a class of equity securities (other than exempted securities)
within 120 days after its fiscal year end if, on the last day of its
fiscal year, the issuer has total assets of more than $10 million and
the class of equity securities is ``held of record'' by either (i)
2,000 persons, or (ii) 500 persons who are not accredited investors. An
issuer that is a bank or a bank holding company, must register a class
of equity securities (other than exempted securities) within 120 days
after the last day of its first fiscal year ended after the effective
date of the JOBS Act if, on the last day of its fiscal year, the issuer
has total assets of more than $10 million and the class of equity
securities is ``held of record'' by 2,000 or more persons. The
information must be filed with the Commission on occasion. Form 8-A is
a public document. Form 8-A takes approximately 3 hours to prepare and
is filed by approximately 1,376 respondents for a total annual
reporting burden of 4,128 hours (3 hours per response x 1,376
responses).
    An agency may conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
by June 13, 2022 to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii)
David Bottom, Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o John Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC

FOREIGN CARRIER EXEMPTION CONDITIONS
                              ATTACHMENT

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier
applicant(s) shall:

1) Not conduct any operations unless it holds a currently effective
authorization from its homeland for such operations, and it has filed a
copy of such authorization with the Department;

2) Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration, including, but not limited to, 14 CFR Parts 129, 91, and
36, and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning
security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1546 or 1550, as
applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

3) Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage contained
in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any operations
under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the form of a
completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation Administration’s
Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards Service (any
changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be filed with that
office);

4) Not operate aircraft under this authority unless it complies with

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9699-7]

Notification of Public Teleconferences of the Science Advisory
Board Animal Feeding Operations Emission Review Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) Science
Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two public teleconferences
of the SAB Animal Feeding Operations Emission Review Panel (AFO Panel)
to discuss additional EPA data and the Panel's draft advisory report
regarding EPA draft methodologies for estimating emissions from animal
feeding operations.

DATES: The SAB AFO Panel public teleconference will be held on August
13, 2012, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). The follow-up
public teleconference of the SAB AFO Panel will be held on October 24,
2012, from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

ADDRESSES: The public teleconferences will be conducted by telephone
only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing
further information regarding the public teleconferences may contact
Mr. Edward Hanlon, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office,
by telephone/voice mail at<PHONE_NUMBER> or via email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>General information concerning the EPA Science
Advisory Board can be found at the EPA SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDAA)
codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and
technical peer review, advice, consultation and recommendations to the
EPA Administrator on the technical basis for EPA actions. As a Federal
Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts business in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related
regulations. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given
that the SAB AFO Panel will hold a public teleconference to review
additional data and a public teleconference to discuss the Panel's
draft advisory report regarding the EPA documents, ``Draft--Development
of Emissions Estimating Methodologies for Broiler Animal Feeding
Operations'' and ``Draft--Development of Emissions Estimating
Methodologies for Lagoons and Basins at Swine and Dairy Animal Feeding
Operations'' (February 2012 draft). The SAB Panel will provide advice
through the chartered SAB and will comply with the provisions of FACA
and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    Background information about this SAB review can be found on the
SAB Web site at: http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/0/AE6639DD6B79360E852579A4004E5529?OpenDocument. The SAB AFO Panel
previously held a public meeting on March 14, 15 and 16, 2012 to
discuss its review comments on the EPA Animal Feeding Operations
emissions documents.
    Technical Contacts: For technical questions and information
concerning EPA's air emission estimating methodologies for animal
feeding operations, please contact Mr. Larry Elmore of EPA's Office of
Air Quality Planning and Standards by phone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or via
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Availability of the Review Materials: The agenda and material in
support of these teleconference calls will be accessible through the
calendar link on the blue navigation bar at http://www.epa.gov/sab.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal

advisory committee is different from the process used to submit
comments to an EPA program office.
    Federal advisory committees and panels, including scientific
advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA. Members of the
public can submit comments for a federal advisory committee to consider
as it develops advice for EPA. Input from the public to the SAB will
have the most impact if it consists of comments that provide specific
scientific or technical information or analysis for the SAB Panel to
consider or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy of the technical
information. Members of the public wishing to provide comment should
contact the DFO directly.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation will be limited to three minutes per speaker.
Interested parties should contact Mr. Edward Hanlon, DFO, in writing
(preferably via email), at the contact information noted above, by
August 6, 2012 to be placed on the list of public speakers for the
August 13, 2012 teleconference, and by October 17, 2012 to be placed on
the list of public speakers for the October 24, 2012 teleconference.
Written Statements: Written statements should be received in the SAB
Staff Office by August 6, 2012 for the August 13, 2012 teleconference,
and by October 17, 2012 for the October 24, 2012 teleconference, so
that the information may be made available to the Panel members for
their consideration. Written statements should be supplied to the DFO
in electronic format via email (acceptable file formats: Adobe Acrobat
PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in IBM-PC/
Windows 98/2000/XP format). It is the SAB Staff Office general policy
to post written comments on the Web page for the advisory meeting or
teleconference. Submitters are requested to provide an unsigned version
of each document because the SAB Staff Office does not publish
documents with signatures on its Web sites. Members of the public
should be aware that their personal contact information, if included in
any written comments, may be posted to the SAB Web site. Copyrighted
material will not be posted without explicit permission of the
copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact Mr. Edward Hanlon at
(202) 564-2134 or via email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>preferably at
least ten days prior to the public teleconference(s) to give EPA as
much time as possible to process your request.

    Dated: July 3, 2012.

Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity):  1998 Memorandum
of Understanding between the United States and Japan (1998 MOU)

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the
terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

X Standard exemption conditions (attached), Order 92-3-4 and the 1998
MOU

Special conditions/Partial grant/Denial basis/Remarks:  The authority
granted to JALways, in addition to the conditions described above, is
subject to the following conditions:

(a)  To the extent that JALways is operating the service, the exemption
authority granted above is subject to the frequency limitations and
service points authorized under the 1998 MOU.

(b)  The number of weekly round-trip frequencies conducted under the
codeshare authority authorized above shall not exceed the limitations on
same country airline codeshare frequencies available for such services
under Section IV.E of the 1998 MOU.

(c)  JALways and/or Japan Airlines must notify the Department no later
than 30 days before they begin any new code-share service under the
code-share services authorized here.  Such notice shall identify the
market(s) to be served, which carrier will be operating the aircraft in
the code-share market added, and the date on which the service will
begin.  Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-99-6023.

(d)  JALways and/or Japan Airlines must promptly notify the Department
if the code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations is
no longer effective or the carriers decide to cease operating any or all
of the approved code-share services.    We expect this notification to
be received within 10 days of such non-effectiveness or of such
decision.  Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-99-6023.

subject foreign air transportation be sold in the name of the carrier
holding out such service in computer reservation systems and elsewhere;
that the carrier selling such transportation (i.e., the carrier shown on
the ticket) accept responsibility for the entirety of the code-share
journey for all obligations established in its contract of carriage with
the passenger; and that the passenger liability of the operating carrier
be unaffected.

(f)  The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that
neither JALways nor Japan Airlines shall give any force or effect to any
contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these
conditions.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		      Office of International Aviation

________________________________________________________________________
_______________________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) the applicant was qualified to perform the
proposed operations; (2) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR §
385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date of
issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and the
filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC 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. OCC 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
    OCC proposes to establish a minimum cash contribution requirement
for its Clearing Fund in order to increase the amount of qualifying
liquid resources available to OCC to account for extreme scenarios that
may result in liquidity demands exceeding OCC's current Cover 1
liquidity resources, as calculated under the current historically-based
methodology, and provide for a more consistent level of cash resources
in its available prefunded financial resources. The proposed rule
change also would provide for the pass-through of interest income
earned on such deposits to its Clearing Members. OCC's current
practices and the proposed changes to such practices are described in
more detail below.
Current Practice
    Presently, Article VIII, Section 3(a) of OCC's By-Laws provides
that Clearing Fund contributions shall be in the form of cash and
Government securities, but neither OCC's By-Laws nor Rules provides a
minimum cash requirement for contributions in the Clearing Fund.
Article VIII, Section 4(a) of OCC's By-Laws allows for OCC to invest
cash contributions to the Clearing Fund, partially or wholly, in OCC's
account in Government securities, and to the extent that such
contributions are not so invested they shall be deposited by OCC in a
separate account or accounts for Clearing Fund contributions in
approved custodians. Article VIII, Section 4(a) of OCC's By-Laws,
however, presently does not account for the treatment of interest
earned on cash deposits held in the OCC's Federal Reserve bank account.
Proposed Change
1. Minimum Cash Clearing Fund Requirement
    OCC proposes to establish a minimum cash contribution requirement
for its Clearing Fund in order to increase the amount of highly liquid
resources available to OCC to account for extreme scenarios that may
result in liquidity demands exceeding OCC's current Cover 1 liquidity
resources, as calculated under the current historically-based
methodology, and provide for a more consistent level of cash resources
in its available prefunded financial resources.\6\ Specifically, the
proposed rule change would require that Clearing Members collectively
contribute $3 billion in cash to the Clearing Fund (``Cash Clearing
Fund Requirement''). Each Clearing Member's proportionate share of the
Cash Clearing Fund Requirement shall be equal in percentage to its
proportionate share of the Clearing Fund as determined by the Clearing
Fund allocation methodology in current Rule 1001.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ OCC's Current Cover 1 liquidity resources are sized based on
the liquidity needed to address exposures derived solely from
historical results. Introducing the Cash Clearing Fund Requirement
would increase OCC's liquidity resources to address the exposures
observed in a stress liquidity analysis performed using proposed
sizing stress tests for OCC's Clearing Fund.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OCC has historically sized its liquidity resources based on
historically observed liquidity demands and analysis of potential large
forecasted liquidity demands over at least the next twelve months. OCC
forecasts its future daily settlement activity under normal market
conditions (e.g., mark-to-market settlements, and settlements resulting
from the expiration of derivatives contracts) and compares such demands
to its resources to ensure that at all times it will maintain a
positive liquidity position to meet settlement obligations.
    OCC has performed an analysis of its stress liquidity demands based
on a 1-in-70 year hypothetical market event. OCC started its analysis
by selecting the largest historical peak monthly settlements that
occurred over the historical look back period of data generated by the
stress test system. It then also selected certain large non-expiration
days to supplement the analysis. From this it estimated the mark-to-
market and cash settled exercise and assignment obligations for the
members driving the historical peak demand under the proposed stress
tests scenario to determine the stressed peak demand. Through this
analysis, OCC observed that peak stressed liquidity demands of the
largest 1 or 2 members, which normally occur in conjunction with
certain monthly expirations, can exceed the size OCC's committed
liquidity facilities (which currently total $3 billion). In these
cases, while OCC did have cash in the Clearing Fund to supplement its
liquidity resources, and the total of credit facilities and cash in the
Clearing Fund did cover these peak stressed liquidity demands, OCC is
unable to rely on these cash contributions to be present at any given
time since there is no obligation on members to maintain any amount of
their contribution in cash. As a result, OCC believes it is necessary
to increase or otherwise ensure the availability of highly liquid
resources in the Clearing Fund to account for extreme scenarios that
may result in liquidity demands exceeding OCC's Cover 1 liquidity
resources, as calculated under the current historically-based
methodology. The proposed Cash Clearing Fund Requirement, when taken
together with OCC's $3 billion in committed liquidity facilities, would
provide liquidity resources sufficient to cover 100% of

the peak stressed liquidity demands of the largest 1 or 2 members
observed in OCC's analysis.
    In addition, the proposed changes would allow OCC's Executive
Chairman, Chief Administrative Officer (``CAO''), or Chief Operating
Officer (``COO''), upon providing notice to the Risk Committee, to
temporarily increase the amount of cash required to be maintained in
the Clearing Fund up to an amount that includes the size of the
Clearing Fund as determined in accordance with Rule 1001 for the month
in question for the protection of OCC, clearing members or the general
public. Any determination by the Executive Chairman, CAO and/or COO to
implement a temporary increase in Clearing Fund size would (i) be based
upon then-existing facts and circumstances, (ii) be in furtherance of
the integrity of OCC and the stability of the financial system, and
(iii) take into consideration the legitimate interests of Clearing
Members and market participants.
    The proposed rule change would require that any temporary increase
in the Cash Clearing Fund Requirement be reviewed by the Risk Committee
as soon as practicable, but in any event within 20 calendar days of the
increase. In its review, the Risk Committee shall determine whether (1)
the increase in the minimum Cash Clearing Fund Requirement is no longer
required or (2) OCC's Clearing Fund contribution requirements and other
related rules should be modified to ensure that OCC continues to
maintain sufficient liquid resources to cover its largest aggregate
payment obligations in extreme but plausible market conditions. In the
event that the Risk Committee would determine to permanently increase
the Cash Clearing Fund Requirement, OCC would initiate any regulatory
approval process required to effect such a change.\7\ A Clearing Member
will be required to satisfy any increase in its required cash
contribution pursuant to an increase in the Cash Clearing Fund
Requirement no later than one hour before the close of the Fedwire on
the business day following OCC's issuance of an instruction to increase
cash contributions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ However, OCC will not decrease the Cash Clearing Fund
Requirement while the regulatory approvals for a change in the Cash
Clearing Fund Requirement are being obtained to ensure that OCC
continues to maintain sufficient liquid resources to cover its
liquidity demands during that time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These changes would be reflected in new paragraph (a)(i) of Section
3 of Article VIII of OCC's By-Laws, as well as in new Interpretation
and Policy .04 to Section 3 of Article VIII.
2. Interest Pass Through for Clearing Fund Cash Held at the Federal
Reserve
    In connection with the proposed Cash Clearing Fund Requirement,
substantially all of OCC's Clearing Fund deposits consisting of cash
would be held in an account established by OCC at a Federal Reserve
Bank.\8\ OCC proposes that it would pass the interest income earned in
such account through to its Clearing Members. As a result, OCC proposes
to revise Article VIII, Section 4(a) of OCC's By-Laws to include a
sentence to provide that any interest earned on cash deposits held at a
Federal Reserve Bank shall accrue to the benefit of Clearing Members
(calculated daily based on each Clearing Member's pro rata share of
Clearing Fund cash deposits), provided that such Clearing Members have
provided OCC with all tax documentation as OCC may from time to time
require in order to effectuate such payment.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ OCC notes that it would retain the discretion to maintain a
small portion of Clearing Fund cash deposits in other accounts
(e.g., accounts with commercial banks) for various reasons,
including facilitating normal substitution activity by its Clearing
Members.
    \9\ Article VIII, Section 4(a) currently states that all
interest gained on cash Clearing Fund deposits belongs to OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Changes to the Fee Policy To Accommodate Interest Passed Through to
Clearing Members
    In order to accommodate the pass through of interest income, OCC
would also amend its Fee Policy to add definitions for ``Pass-Through
Interest Revenue'' and ``Operating Expenses'' to exclude from the
calculation of the Business Risk Buffer projected interest revenue and
expense, respectively, related to the pass-through of earned interest
from OCC to Clearing Members.\10\ OCC also proposes to add a new
example of the Business Risk Buffer calculation reflecting this change
and make clarifying changes throughout the Policy to incorporate the
use of the new defined terms. In addition, OCC proposes to amend the
Fee Policy to remove references to ``Proposed Rule 17Ad-22(e)(15)'' to
reflect the adoption of the Commission's Covered Clearing Agency
Standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ While interest income earned by OCC from its Federal
Reserve bank account would be passed on to its Clearing Members, OCC
anticipates that it would charge a cash management fee to cover
associated costs (i.e., administrative and similar costs). OCC would
file a separate proposed rule change with the Commission, subject to
receiving all necessary regulatory approvals for the proposed
changes described herein, prior to implementing any cash management
fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Conforming Changes
    In conjunction with the aforementioned changes, OCC is also
proposing to make four related conforming changes. First, OCC proposes
to revise Interpretation and Policy .01 of Rule 1001 to reflect that
the new minimum Clearing Fund size is $3 billion (instead of $1
billion) plus 110% of the size of OCC's committed liquidity facilities,
which conforms to the proposed new minimum cash requirement for the
Clearing Fund. Second, OCC proposes to amend the definition of
``Approved Custodian'' in Article I, Section 1 of the By-Laws to
clarify that the Federal Reserve Bank may also be an Approved
Custodian, to the extent it is available to OCC. Third, OCC is
proposing to delete existing Article VIII, Section 4(b), regarding the
establishment of a segregated funds account for cash contributions to
the Clearing Fund. The segregated funds account allows a Clearing
Member to contribute cash to a bank or trust company account maintained
in the name of OCC, subject to OCC's exclusive control, but the account
also includes the name of the Clearing Member and any interest accrues
to the Clearing Member rather than OCC. OCC proposes to eliminate the
account type because Clearing Members have not expressed interest in
using such an account, no such accounts are in use today, and moving
forward, substantially all cash Clearing Fund contributions will be
held in OCC's account at the Federal Reserve Bank. Fourth, OCC proposes
to introduce new language to Article VIII, Section 4(a) to clarify that
cash contributions to the Clearing Fund that are deposited at approved
custodians may be commingled with the Clearing Fund contributions of
different Clearing Members.
2. Statutory Basis
    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\11\ 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,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. The proposed
rule change is designed to improve the resiliency of OCC's liquidity
resources by establishing a new $3 billion minimum cash requirement for
the Clearing Fund and by providing OCC authority to temporarily
increase the Cash Clearing Fund Requirement from $3 billion up to an
amount that includes the size of the

Clearing Fund as determined in accordance with Rule 1001 for the month
in question. The proposed rule change also is designed to improve the
position of OCC's Clearing Members by permitting OCC to pass through
interest earned on Clearing Fund cash deposits held at OCC's account
with the Federal Reserve. In this regard, OCC believes the proposed
rule change is designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance
and settlement of securities transactions and to protect investors and
the public interest, in accordance with the requirements of Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \12\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, Rule 17Ad-22(e)(7) \13\ requires that a covered
clearing agency (``CCA'') establish, implement, maintain and enforce
written policies and procedures reasonably designed to effectively
measure, monitor and manage liquidity risk that arises in or is borne
by the CCA. Rule 17Ad-22(e)(7)(i) \14\ requires CCAs to establish,
implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to effectively measure, monitor, and manage the
liquidity risk that arises in or is borne by OCC by maintaining
sufficient liquid resources at the minimum in all relevant currencies
to effect same-day settlement, and where appropriate, intraday and
multiday settlement of payment obligations with a high degree of
confidence under a wide range of stress scenarios, that includes but is
not limited to, the default of the participant family that would
generate the largest aggregate payment obligation for OCC in extreme
but plausible market conditions. As explained above, OCC has performed
an analysis of its stress liquidity demands using proposed sizing
stress tests for the Clearing Fund and has observed that peak stressed
liquidity demands of the largest 1 or 2 members, which normally occur
in conjunction with certain monthly expirations, can exceed the size of
OCC's committed liquidity facilities (which currently total $3
billion). OCC believes that the proposed minimum $3 billion Cash
Clearing Fund Requirement will adjust OCC's available liquidity
resources to account for extreme scenarios that may result in liquidity
demands exceeding OCC's Cover 1 liquidity resources. In this regard,
OCC believes the proposed Cash Clearing Fund Requirement is designed to
satisfy the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(7)(i).\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(7).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(7)(i).
    \15\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(7)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, Rule 17Ad-22(e)(7)(viii) \16\ requires that a CCA address
foreseeable liquidity shortfalls that would not be covered by its
liquid resources and Rule 17Ad-22(e)(7)(ix) \17\ requires that a CCA
describe its process to replenish any liquid resources that it may
employ during a stress event. OCC believes that the proposed authority
to temporarily increase the minimum cash requirement from $3 billion up
to an amount that includes the size of the Clearing Fund (as determined
in accordance with Rule 1001 for the month in question) would provide
OCC with an additional means of addressing liquidity shortfalls that
otherwise would not be covered by OCC's liquid resources. Further,
because the Clearing Fund is a resource that is replenished in
accordance with Section 6 of Article VIII of OCC's By-Laws, to the
extent that Clearing Members are required to replenish their required
contributions--in whole or in part--with cash following a proportionate
charge during, the proposed change would provide a form of
replenishment of OCC's liquid resources. In this regard, OCC believes
the proposed authority to require up to an all cash Clearing Fund
requirement is designed to satisfy the requirements of Rules 17Ad-
22(e)(7)(viii) and (ix).\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(7)(viii).
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(7)(ix).
    \18\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(7)(viii) and (ix).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change is not inconsistent with the existing
rules of OCC, including any other rules proposed to be amended.

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    Section 17A(b)(3)(I) of the Act \19\ 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. OCC does not
believe the proposed rule change would have any impact or impose any
burden on competition. The primary purpose of the proposed rule change
is to enhance OCC's liquidity resources by establishing a $3 billion
Cash Clearing Fund Requirement, which requirement could be temporarily
increased up to an amount that includes the size of the Clearing Fund
as determined in accordance with Rule 1001 for the month in question.
Further, the proposed rule change is designed to revise Article VIII,
Section 4(a) of OCC's By-Laws and the Fee Policy to enable OCC to pass
through interest earned on Clearing Fund cash held in OCC's Federal
Reserve bank account. The proposed rule change would apply equally to
all Clearing Members and would not affect Clearing Members' access to
OCC's services or disadvantage or favor any particular user in
relationship to another user. As such, OCC believes that the proposed
changes would not have any impact or impose any burden on competition.
