SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    The FAA anticipates that this regulation will not result in adverse
or negative comments, and, therefore, issues it as a direct final rule.
Unless a written adverse or negative comment or a written notice of
intent to submit an adverse or negative comment is received within the
comment period, the regulation will become effective on the date
specified above. After the close of the comment period, the FAA will
publish a document in the Federal Register indicating that no adverse
or negative comments were received and confirming the effective date of
the rule. If the FAA receives, within the comment period, an adverse or
negative comment, or written comment notice of intent to submit such a
comment, a document withdrawing the direct final rule will be published
in the Federal Register, and a notice of proposed rulemaking may be
published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

    Although this action is in the form of a direct final rule, and was
not preceded by a notice of proposed rulemaking, interested persons are
invited to comment on this rule by submitting such written data, views,
or arguments as they may desire. Comments that provide the factual
basis supporting the views and suggestions presented are particularly
helpful in developing reasoned regulatory decisions on the direct final
rule. Comments are specifically invited on the overall regulatory,
aeronautical, economic, environmental, and energy-related aspects of
the direct final rule. Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge
receipt of their comments on this rule must submit with those comments
a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the following statement is
made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2008-0339, Airspace Docket No. 08-
ASW-5.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the
commenter. Communications should identify both docket numbers and be
submitted in triplicate to the address specified under the caption
ADDRESSES above or through the Web site. All communications received on
or before the closing date for comments will be considered, and this
rule may be amended or withdrawn in light of the comments received.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by providing additional Class D controlled airspace extending
upward from the surface and Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface at Altus AFB. Additional controlled Class D and
Class E airspace is necessary for the safety of IFR operations at Altus
AFB. The area will be depicted on appropriate aeronautical charts. The
Class D and E airspace areas are published in paragraphs 5000 and 6005,
respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9R, dated August 15, 2007 and effective
September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class D and E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.
    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to
issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49, of the
United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in subtitle VII, Part A,
subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it provides
additional controlled airspace at Altus AFB, OK.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70464; File No. SR-ICEEU-2013-11]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Europe Limited; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Related To Enhanced Margin and Guaranty
Fund Methodology

September 20, 2013.

I. Introduction

    On August 14, 2013, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change SR-ICEEU-2013-11 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder.\2\ The proposed rule change was published for comment in
the Federal Register on August 20, 2013.\3\ The Commission did not
receive any comments on the proposed rule change. This order approves
the proposed rule change.

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

2013), 78 FR 51248 (Aug. 20, 2013) (SR-ICEEU-2013-11).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    ICE Clear Europe proposes to adopt changes to its enhanced margin
and guaranty fund methodology (``Decomp Model'') for cleared credit
default swaps (``CDS') that address the additional risk arising from
the fact that certain cleared index CDS contracts include as reference
entities Clearing Members or affiliates of Clearing Members (``self-
referencing CDS'') (such additional risk is hereinafter referred to as
``Specific Wrong-Way Risk''). ICE Clear Europe also proposes to adopt
changes to the liquidation period used in determining the initial
margin requirement for customer CDS positions. ICE Clear Europe has
developed its Decomp Model, as previously approved by the
Commission,\4\ to permit appropriate portfolio margining between
related index and single-name CDS positions by recognizing that index
CDS instruments are, for risk management purposes, essentially a
composition of specific single-name CDS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Order Approving Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1 Thereto, Relating to Enhanced Margin Methodology,
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-68955 (Feb. 20, 2013), 78 FR
13130 (Feb. 26, 2013) (SR-ICEEU-2012-11).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In anticipation of the launch of customer clearing in CDS, and in
furtherance of the ongoing European regulatory reform program designed
to improve the safety and soundness of the European derivatives
markets, ICE Clear Europe proposes to adopt certain enhancements to the
Decomp Model to address Specific Wrong-Way Risk. Although ICE Clear
Europe does not permit a Clearing Member to enter into or maintain a
single-name CDS referencing itself or an affiliate, a self-referencing
CDS position may arise through an index CDS where the Clearing Member
or an affiliate is a component of the index.
    Under the enhancements to the Decomp Model, ICE Clear Europe will
require an additional contribution to the CDS Guaranty Fund from those
Clearing Members that present Specific Wrong-Way Risk, up to a defined
threshold. The additional guaranty fund contribution amount is
calculated based on the highest uncollateralized loss-given-default
exposure arising from any of the self-referencing CDS positions of
Clearing Members. In addition, each such Clearing Member will be
required to provide additional initial margin to collateralize any
Specific Wrong-Way Risk presented by its positions in excess of the
defined threshold.
    The proposed amendments also would enhance the CDS Guaranty Fund
calculation methodology to cover the uncollateralized losses that would
result from up to five single names--including two Clearing Members and
three other single names--that would cause the greatest losses upon
default. Consequently, the proposed amendments to the guaranty fund
calculation account for the potential increased amount of
uncollateralized loss in cases where the Clearing Members are reference
entities in cleared index CDS contracts.
    Additionally, ICE Clear Europe proposes to change the liquidation
period for calculation of initial margin for customer CDS positions.
Currently, the Decomp Model provides portfolio risk coverage against at
least 5-day market realizations. ICE Clear Europe intends to facilitate
porting of client

positions and contemplates that porting would take up to 2 days
following the default of a Clearing Member. After taking into account
the porting period, the risk horizon for liquidation of customer CDS
portfolios would be extended to 7 days. The increased liquidation
period used in determining the initial margin requirement for customer
CDS positions will only apply to the spread response, basis and
interest rate risk components of the model.
    The ICE Clear Europe CDS Risk Policy, the CDS Risk Model
Description methodology document, CDS Back-Testing Framework and CDS
Default Management Framework have been updated to account for the
enhancements described above.
    ICE Clear Europe believes that the amendments are consistent with
the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \5\ and the regulations
thereunder applicable to it, including the standards under Rule 17Ad-
22.\6\ In particular, ICE Clear Europe believes the amendments will
enhance the clearinghouse's margin methodology by more accurately
addressing Specific Wrong-Way Risk presented by index CDS positions of
Clearing Members. ICE Clear Europe further believes that the amendments
will enhance the guaranty fund calculation methodology, and adjust the
liquidation period for customer positions used in calculating initial
margin for CDS. In ICE Clear Europe's view, the amendments will
therefore promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions, the safeguarding of securities and funds in
the custody or control of ICE Clear Europe and the protection of
investors and the public interest, within the meaning of Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\7\ Furthermore, ICE Clear Europe believes the
revisions will enhance ICE Clear Europe's financial resources,
consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(b),\8\ by requiring
additional initial margin and CDS Guaranty Fund contributions to
address Specific Wrong-Way Risk.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act \9\ 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. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \10\
requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency are
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 or control of the
clearing agency or for which it is responsible, and in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Section 17A the Act \11\ and the rules
thereunder applicable to ICE Clear Europe. The Commission believes the
proposed enhancements to ICE Clear Europe's margin and guaranty fund
methodologies are 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 or control of ICE Clear Europe or for which it is responsible,
and in general, to protect investors and the public interest, in
furtherance of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\12\ In particular, the
proposed rules more accurately address Specific Wrong-Way risk
presented by the index CDS positions of ICE Clear Europe's Clearing
Members by requiring additional CDS Guaranty Fund contributions from
those Clearing Members that present Specific Wrong-Way Risk, up to a
defined threshold, and additional initial margin charges to
collateralize any Specific Wrong-Way Risk presented in excess of this
defined threshold. The proposed amendments also enhance the CDS
Guaranty Fund calculation methodology to cover the uncollateralized
losses that would result from up to five single names--including two
Clearing Members and three other single names--that would cause the
greatest losses upon default. Additionally, the proposed rule change
would increase the liquidation period from 5 to 7 days for calculation
of the spread response, basis, and interest rate risk components of
initial margin for customer CDS positions to account for situations
where porting of customer positions should fail during the 2-day period
following the default of a Clearing Member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

IV. Conclusion

    On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in
particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act \13\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ICEEU-2013-11) be, and
hereby is, approved.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

II. Background

    On June 18, 2018, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision
to renew exemptions for 19 individuals from the hearing standard in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(11) to operate a CMV in interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (83 FR 28330). The public comment period ended
on July 18, 2018, and no comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.
    49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) was adopted in 1970, with a revision in 1971
to allow drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a
hearing aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3,
1971).

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.
