SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-95296; File No. SR-NYSEAMER-2022-29]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE American LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
Rule 952NY

July 15, 2022.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby given
that on July 7, 2022, NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposal to amend Rule 952NY (Opening Process)
regarding the option for ATP Holders to instruct the Exchange to cancel
Marketable orders if a series is not opened within a specified time
period. The proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's website
at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 952NY (Opening Process)
regarding the option for ATP Holders to instruct the Exchange to cancel
Marketable \4\ orders if a series is not opened within a specified time
period. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to exclude Good-Til-
Cancelled (GTC) Orders.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The term ``Marketable'' is defined in Rule 900.2NY(39) to
mean, for a Limit Order, the price matches or crosses the NBBO on
the other side of the market and that market orders are always
considered marketable.
    \5\ See Rule 900.3NY(n) (defining GTC Orders as ``[a]n order to
buy or sell that remains in force until the order is filled,
cancelled or the option contract expires; provided, however, that
GTC Orders will be cancelled in the event of a corporate action that
results in an adjustment to the terms of an option contract'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 952NY sets forth the Exchange's process for opening and
reopening a series for trading. Rule 952NY(d) provides ATP Holders with
an option to instruct the Exchange to cancel their Marketable orders if
an option series has not been opened within a specified time period.\6\
Per subparagraph (d) to Rule 952NY, an ATP Holder has the option to
instruct the Exchange to cancel all Marketable orders in a series,
including GTC Orders, if that series has not opened within a designated
time period after the Exchange receives notification that the primary
market for the underlying security has disseminated a quote and a trade
that is at or within the quote. Because the current rule explicitly
includes GTC Orders, once an ATP Holder opts to utilize the ``bulk''
cancellation feature provided by Rule 952NY(d), this feature also
applies to its GTC Orders. The Exchange specifically included GTC
Orders when it adopted the ``bulk'' cancellation feature in Rule
952NY(d) to make clear to market participants that such order would be
included in that functionality.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The Exchange announced on February 17, 2022, that the
applicable time period utilized during the Opening Process would be
two seconds, as announced here: https://www.nyse.com/trader-update/history#110000412424.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange now proposes to modify paragraph (d) to Rule 952NY to
explicitly exclude GTC Orders on the basis that such orders are
designed to remain in force until executed or specifically cancelled by
the order sender. The Exchange believes this proposal would take into
account that GTC Order senders tend to be more focused on obtaining an
execution thus are willing to wait for the opening of a series rather
than cancelling their order. As such, the proposed change would allow
the GTC instructions to persist rather than be included in the ``bulk
cancel'' under this paragraph (i.e., persist until executed or
specifically cancelled by the GTC order sender). The Exchange believes
this proposed treatment is consistent with the properties of the order
type and the intentions of market participants who utilize GTC Orders,
which intent is for an (eventual) execution unless cancelled. This does
not mean, however, that such orders cannot be cancelled if a series has
not opened per Rule 952NY(d). Rather, ATP Holders (whether they utilize
this optional ``bulk'' cancel functionality or not) would still have
the option to submit specific requests to cancel certain (or all) of
its GTC Orders themselves if a series has not opened on the Exchange
per Rule 952NY(d).
    The Exchange will announce via Trader Update when this proposed
rule change would be implemented, which, subject to effectiveness of
this proposed rule change, the Exchange anticipates will be in early
August 2022, but no later than September 2022.
2. Statutory Basis
    For the reasons set forth above, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of

the Act \7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5)
of the Act,\8\ in that it is designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system because it is designed to exclude GTC Orders
from the bulk cancel operation of Rule 952NY(d), which would allow the
GTC instructions to persist rather than be included in the ``bulk
cancel'' under this paragraph (i.e., persist until executed or
specifically cancelled by the GTC order sender). The Exchange believes
this proposal would take into account that GTC Order senders tend to be
more focused on obtaining an execution thus are willing to wait for the
opening of a series rather than cancelling their order. As such, the
Exchange believes this proposed treatment is consistent with the
properties of the order type and the intentions of market participants
who utilize GTC Orders, which intent is for an (eventual) execution
unless cancelled. This does not mean, however, that such orders cannot
be cancelled if a series has not opened per Rule 952NY(d). Rather, ATP
Holders (whether they utilize this optional ``bulk'' cancel
functionality or not) would still have the option to submit specific
requests to cancel certain (or all) of its GTC Orders themselves if a
series has not opened on the Exchange per Rule 952NY(d).

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe the proposed rule change would impose any burden on intermarket
competition, as the proposed rule change is designed to exclude GTC
Orders from the bulk cancel operation of Rule 952NY(d), which would
allow the GTC instructions to persist rather than be included in the
``bulk cancel'' under this paragraph (i.e., persist until (eventually)
executed or specifically cancelled by the GTC order sender). ATP
Holders would still have the option to submit specific requests to
cancel certain (or all) of its GTC Orders themselves if a series has
not opened on the Exchange per Rule 952NY(d).
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act because the
proposed rule change relates to the exclusion of GTC Orders from
optional functionality, which functionality ATP Holders are not
required to utilize.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\10\
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose
any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and subparagraph (f)(6) of
Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \13\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange asked
that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that the
proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange
states that such waiver would be consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because the proposed rule change
would allow GTC Orders to be treated in a manner that is consistent
with the properties of the order type and the intentions of market
participants who utilize GTC Orders. Market participants continue to be
able to decide when their GTC Orders should be canceled. For these
reasons, the Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day operative
delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day operative
delay and designates the proposed rule change as operative upon
filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

[Release No. 34-97647; File No. SR-ICC-2023-004]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to Clearance of Additional
Credit Default Swap Contracts

June 5, 2023.

I. Introduction

    On April 3, 2023, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC''), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\1\
and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to provide for the
clearance of Standard Subordinated European Insurance Corporate Single
Name CDS contracts (``STSEIC Contracts''). The Proposed Rule Change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on April 21, 2023.\3\ The
Commission has not received any comments on the Proposed Rule Change.
For the reasons discussed below, the Commission is approving the
Proposed Rule Change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 97318 (Apr. 17, 2023),
88 FR 24647 (Apr. 21, 2023) (File No. SR-ICC-2023-004) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

A. Background

    ICC is registered with the Commission as a clearing agency for the
purpose of clearing CDS contracts.\4\ Chapter 26 of ICC's Clearing
Rules covers the CDS contracts that ICC clears, with each subchapter of
Chapter 26 defining the characteristics and Rules applicable to the
various specific categories of CDS contracts that ICC clears. The
purpose of the proposed rule change is to add a new subchapter to
Chapter 26 to permit ICC to clear an additional contract type.
Specifically, new Subchapter 26S would provide the basis for ICC to
clear STSEIC Contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings assigned to them in ICC's Clearing Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    New Subchapter 26S has nine associated Rule provisions, with each
described further below. Overall, ICC based new Subchapter 26S on
existing Subchapter 26G, which applies to Standard European Corporate
Single Name contracts (``STEC Contracts''), because STSEIC Contracts
and STEC Contracts have similar terms.
    That said, new Subchapter 26S would differ from existing Subchapter
26G as needed to account for differences between the two types of
contracts. For example, Subchapter 26S does not include several
provisions that relate to Modified Modified Restructuring found in
Subchapter 26G. This is the case because the market convention is that
Modified Modified Restructuring does not apply to STSEIC Contracts,
unlike STEC Contracts cleared under Subchapter 26G.\5\ Additionally,
Subchapter 26G includes references to 2003-Type CDS Contracts \6\ as
well as 2014-Type CDS \7\ Contracts.\8\ Subchapter 26S references 2014-
Type Contracts only and eliminates unnecessary references to 2014 Type
Contracts because ICC does not anticipate that any STSEIC Contract
would incorporate the 2003 ISDA definitions.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Id. at 24648.
    \6\ A 2003-Type CDS Contract is a CDS Contract that incorporates
the 2003 Credit Derivatives Definitions, as published by the
International Swaps and Derivatives Association (``ISDA'').
    \7\ A 2014-Type CDS Contract is a CDS Contract incorporating the
2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions.
    \8\ ICE Clear Credit Clearing Rules Subchapter 26G.
    \9\ Notice, 88 FR at 24648.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The remaining differences are discussed with each of the nine
associated rule provisions below.
1. Rule 26S-102 (Definitions)
    New Rule 26S-102 would set out the defined terms used in Subchapter
26S. For example, Rule 26S-102 would define an STSEIC Contract as a CDS
Contract in respect of any Eligible STSEIC Reference Entity having a
combination of characteristics listed as eligible for such Eligible
STSEIC Reference Entity in, and permitted by, the List of Eligible
STSEIC Reference Entities. Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities would be
defined as each particular Reference Entity included in the List of
Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities (a list of eligible reference
entities that ICE Clear Credit maintains on its website). Similarly,
for each of those Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities, ICE Clear Credit
would determine which of their obligations (such as bonds) are
considered to be Eligible STSEIC Reference Obligations.
    This section differs from its counterpart in Subchapter 26G in that
it does not have a definition that corresponds to the definition of
Eligible STEC Sector in Rule 26G-102. Rule 26G-102 lays out a number of
permitted industrial sectors for STEC reference entities in STEC
Contracts, such as energy and healthcare.\10\ Subchapter

26S does not need a similar definition because there are no further
sectors to identify. STSEIC Contracts already apply at a sector level
of insurance. Thus, identifying eligible sectors for STSEIC Contracts
is not necessary.\11\ Additionally, this section is updated to remove
references to 2003-Type CDS Contracts, unnecessary references to 2014-
Type CDS Contracts, and provisions relating to restructuring as
discussed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ ICE Clear Credit Clearing Rule 26G-102.
    \11\ Notice, 88 FR at 24647-48.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Rule 26S-203 (Restriction on Activity)
    New Rule 26S-203 would allow ICE Clear Credit to auction off a CDS
Participant's open STSEIC Contracts where that CDS Participant, among
other things, merges with or becomes an affiliate of an Eligible STSEIC
Reference Entity. This provision would be functionally equivalent to
the corresponding provision in Subchapter 26G. The purpose of this
provision is to prevent ICE Clear Credit's CDS Participants from being
parties to STSEIC Contracts where the CDS Participants are, or could
become, the reference entity of the contract.
3. Rule 26S-206 (Notices Required of Participants With Respect to
STSEIC Contracts)
    New Rule 26S-206 would require that CDS Participants provide notice
to ICE Clear Credit if they or their customer, among other things,
merge with or become an affiliate of an Eligible STSEIC Reference
Entity. In such a situation, as discussed above, new Rule 26S-203 would
allow ICE Clear Credit to auction off a CDS Participant's open STSEIC
Contracts. This provision would be functionally equivalent to the
corresponding provision in Subchapter 26G. Like Rule 26S-203, this
provision would help prevent ICE Clear Credit's CDS Participants from
becoming reference entities to STSEIC Contracts.
4. Rule 26S-303 (STSEIC Contract Adjustments)
    New Rule 26S-303 would explain how ICC would treat certain
contracts submitted for clearing that appear to be submitted as STSEIC
Contracts, but may be missing certain information or appear to contain
certain incorrect information. For example, if ICC accepts a contract
for an Eligible STSEIC Reference Entity but the contract specifies a
type of transaction other than Standard Subordinated European Insurance
Corporate, then ICC will treat the contract as an open position in an
STSEIC Contract that is otherwise equivalent, but that specifies
Standard Subordinated European Insurance Corporate as the transaction
type. Again, this provision is functionally equivalent to the
corresponding provision in Subchapter 26G.
5. Rule 26S-309 (Acceptance of STSEIC Contracts by ICE Clear Credit)
    New Rule 26S-309 would impose certain additional requirements on
CDS Participants when they submit a STSEIC Contract for clearing. ICC
Rule 309 describes ICC's general process for accepting trades for
clearing,\12\ and Rule 26S-309 would prescribe additional provisions
specific to STSEIC Contracts. These provisions would be based on the
existing provisions for Rule 26G-309, but updated to remove references
to 2003-Type Contracts, unnecessary references to 2014-Type Contracts,
and provisions relating to restructuring as discussed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ ICE Clear Credit Clearing Rule 309.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, under Rule 26S-309, if the CDS Participant is or is an
Affiliate of the Eligible STSEIC Reference Entity for a STSEIC Contract
at the time of the Trade submission or Novation Time, it may not submit
such Trade for clearance as a STSEIC Contract and ICC does not have to
accept the Trade for clearance. Rule 26S-309 also would require CDS
Participants to give ICC notice of certain circumstances as soon as
reasonably practicable and would govern the contents of certain ICC
notices to CDS Participants notifying them that ICC has accepted a
Trade submitted for clearance. Additionally, under this rule ICC would
give effect to circumstances giving rise to a Successor and a
Succession Date (i.e., in the event of a corporate merger, acquisition,
or similar transaction that could require a change in a CDS contract's
Reference Entity). Rule 26S-309(e) would explain when ICC would give
effect to a Successor and Succession Date, and the actions ICC would
take to do so.
6. Rule 26S-315 (Terms of the Cleared STSEIC Contract)
    New Rule 26S-315 would explain what the terms of each STSEIC
Contract would be. Generally, Rule 26S-315 would incorporate the 2014
Definitions into the STSEIC Contracts but also would define and set
certain terms that would be specific to STSEIC contracts. For example,
Rule 26S-315(f) would define the Transaction Type as being a Standard
Subordinated European Insurance Corporate for the Eligible STSEIC
Reference Entity. Rule 26S-315(g) would indicate which terms would be
determined according to the particular STSEIC Contract submitted for
clearing, subject to Rule 26S-303. For example, the Trade Date is a
term that will be determined according to the particular STSEIC
Contract submitted for clearing, subject to Rule 26S-303. Rule 26S-
315(e) would provide that the Settlement Method for particular STSEIC
Contracts will be Auction Settlement and the Fallback Settlement Method
will be Physical Settlement in accordance with the CDS Physical
Settlement Rules. For the most part, these provisions would be based on
the existing provisions for Rule 26G-315, but updated to remove
references to 2003-Type Contracts, unnecessary references to 2014-Type
Contracts, and provisions relating to restructuring as discussed above.
    The proposed rule change adds one sentence to new Rule 26S-315 that
is not present in the corresponding section of existing 26G-315. That
sentence, in new Rule 26S-315(f), ensures that the Subordinated
European Insurance Terms will apply to each STSEIC Contract.
Subordinated European Insurance Terms are part of the market-standard
provisions that apply under the 2014 Definitions.\13\ According to the
definition for List of Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities in Rule 26S-
102, Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities must use the 2014 Definitions
in their STSEIC Contracts.

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

7. Rule 26S-316 (Relevant Physical Settlement Matrix Updates)
    New Rule 26S-316 would describe how ICC would handle ISDA updates
to the Relevant Physical Settlement Matrix. For example, Rule 26S-
316(a) indicates that in certain circumstances when ISDA publishes a
newer version of the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix
(``New Matrix'') than the Relevant Physical Settlement Matrix for any
STSEIC Contract, STSEIC Contracts with previous versions of the Matrix
(``Superseded Matrix'') shall become STSEIC Contracts referencing the
New Matrix as the Relevant Physical Settlement Matrix, and the List of
Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities shall be updated accordingly. Any
STSEIC Contract referencing a Superseded Matrix and submitted for
clearing shall, upon acceptance for clearing, become a STSEIC Contract
referencing the New Matrix. This provision is functionally equivalent
to the corresponding provision in Subchapter 26G.
8. Rule 26S-502 (Specified Actions)
    ICC Rule 502 defines certain actions as Specified Actions and
prohibits ICC

from taking or permitting to be taken any Specified Action without
first consulting with the Risk Committee.\14\ For example, modification
of the ICC Rules, Procedures, or any other governing provisions related
to Margin would be a Specified Action.\15\ New Rule 26S-502 provides
that certain actions are not Specified Actions. For example, adding
and/or Modifying Permitted STSEIC Fixed Rates and adding new Eligible
STSEIC Reference Entities each would not constitute a Specified Action.
This provision is functionally equivalent to the corresponding
provision in Subchapter 26G.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ ICE Clear Credit Clearing Rule 502.
    \15\ ICE Clear Credit Clearing Rule 502(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Rule 26S-616 (Contract Modification)
    ICC Rule 616 prohibits ICC from carrying out a Contract
Modification without first providing Participants at least ten ICE
Business Days' notice prior to the effective date of such Contract
Modification. Under ICC Rule 616 a Contract Modification is defined as
a Modification that ``would, in the determination of ICC, (i)
reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the Mark-to-Market
Price (as defined in Rule 404) of such Contract or (ii) materially
increase the basis risk of such Contract relative to the over-the-
counter agreement equivalent to such Contract referred to in Rule
301.'' \16\ New Rule 26S-616 would provide that it will not constitute
a Contract Modification if ICC's Board or its designee updates the List
of Eligible STSEIC Reference Entities (and modifies the terms and
conditions of related STSEIC Contracts) to give effect to
determinations by the Regional CDS Committee (or applicable Dispute
Resolver) or a Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee.
Additionally, the determination that ``Standard Reference Obligation''
will be applicable to an Eligible STSEIC Reference Entity will not
constitute a Contract Modification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ ICE Clear Credit Clearing Rule 616(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 26S-616 would contain two differences from the corresponding
provision in Subchapter 26G. First, Rule 26S-616 would not include a
provision applicable to 2003-Type Contracts that convert to 2014-Type
Contracts. As mentioned above, ICC does not anticipate that any STSEIC
Contract would be a 2003-Type Contract, so this provision is not
necessary.
    Second, Rule 26S-616 would not include a provision that
incorporates the NTCE Supplement to the 2014 Definitions.\17\ ISDA has
issued the NTCE Supplement and previously incorporated it into the 2014
Definitions. Thus, the NTCE Supplement would automatically apply to any
STSEIC Contracts going forward, and 26S-616 would not need to
specifically incorporate it into the terms of the contracts.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ The NTCE Supplement is the 2019 Narrowly Tailored Credit
Event Supplement to the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions
published by ISDA. For more information on this supplement, see

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act requires the Commission to approve a
proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that
the Proposed Rule Change is consistent with the requirements of the Act
and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the
organization.\19\ For the reasons given below, the Commission finds
that the Proposed Rule Change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F)
of the Act \20\ and Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1).\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \21\ 17 CFR 240Ad-22(e)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Consistency With Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act

    Under Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, ICC's rules, among other
things, must 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 or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible . . . and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest . . . .'' \22\ Based on its review of the record, and for the
reasons discussed below, the Commission believes that ICC's proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act because
ICC's clearing of STSEIC Contracts will allow market participants an
increased ability to manage risk and the provisions of Subchapter 26S
would help ensure that ICC has in place rules to appropriately govern
the clearing of STSEIC Contracts and manage the risk related to
clearing STSEIC Contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ICC's clearing of STSEIC Contracts will provide market participants
an increased ability to manage risk through the contracts. ICC will
clear STSEIC Contracts pursuant to its existing clearing arrangements
and related financial safeguards, protections and risk management
procedures.\23\ For example, ICC will apply its existing initial margin
methodology to the clearing of STSEIC Contracts.\24\ The Commission
believes these safeguards, protections, and risk management procedures
will lower the risk that a party to a STSEIC Contract transaction will
default, which, in turn, would promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of STSEIC Contracts and help to ensure the
safeguarding of margin assets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ Notice, 88 FR at 24648.
    \24\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, combined with ICC's current safeguards, Subchapter 26S
promotes the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of STSEIC
Contracts. Subchapter 26S would amend the ICC Clearing Rules to
accommodate the clearing of STSEIC Contracts. Among other things, these
amendments would provide definitions and contract terms with respect to
STSEIC Contracts, which would help ensure that ICC has in place rules
to appropriately govern the clearing of STSEIC Contracts. In addition,
ICC will clear STSEIC Contracts pursuant to its existing clearing
arrangements and related financial safeguards, protections, and risk
management procedures. This will allow ICC to appropriately manage the
risk of STSEIC Contracts. Accordingly, the Commission believes that the
addition of Subchapter 26S, taken together with ICC's existing
safeguards, would promote the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of STSEIC Contracts.
    The Commission believes, therefore, that the Proposed Rule Change
is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the
Act.\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1)

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1) requires ICC to establish, implement, maintain,
and enforce written 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.\26\ When it adopted Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1), the Commission
noted that, in addressing legal risk, a covered clearing agency should
consider whether its rules, policies and procedures, and contracts are
clear,

understandable, and consistent with relevant laws and regulations.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(1).
    \27\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78961 (Sept. 28, 2016),
81 FR 70786, 70802 (Oct. 13, 2016) (File No. S7-03-14).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that ICC's addition of Subchapter 26S to
its clearing rules helps ensure that ICC's rules are clear and
understandable with respect to its clearance of STSEIC Contracts. Among
other things, Subchapter 26S defines relevant terms, provides
provisions relevant to STSEIC Contracts, and clarifies how ICC will
handle and process certain potential lifecycle and other events in
connection with relevant STSEIC Contracts, including a CDS
Participant's merger or affiliation with an Eligible STSEIC Reference
Entity and certain ISDA updates to the Relevant Physical Settlement
Matrix. Through its provisions, Subchapter 26S provides a reasonable
level of certainty related to, and a clear legal basis for, outcomes
related to its clearance of STSEIC Contracts.
    The Commission believes, therefore, that the Proposed Rule Change
is consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1) of the
Act.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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(b)(3)(F) of the Act and Rule 17Ad-
22(e)(1) thereunder.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
that the Proposed Rule Change (SR-ICC-2023-004) be, and hereby is,
approved.\30\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ In approving the Proposed Rule Change, the Commission
considered the proposal's impacts on efficiency, competition, and
capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

Extension:
    Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h); SEC File No. 270-149; OMB Control
No. 3235-0130.

    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 a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.

Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d) and (h) Transfer Agent Turnaround, Processing and
Forwarding Requirements

    Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h), (17 CFR 240.17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h)),
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.),
enumerate the requirements with which transfer agents must comply to
inform the Commission or the appropriate regulator of a transfer
agent's failure to meet the minimum performance standards set by the
Commission rule by filing a notice.
    While it is estimated there are 740 transfer agents, approximately
ten notices pursuant to 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h) are filed annually. In
view of (a) the readily available nature of most of the information
required to be included in the notice (since that information must be
compiled and retained pursuant to other Commission rules); (b) the
summary fashion in which such information must be presented in the
notice (most notices are one page or less in length); and (c) the
experience of the staff regarding the notices, the Commission staff
estimates that, on the average, most Notices require approximately one-
half hour to prepare. The Commission staff estimates that transfer
agents spend an average of five hours per year complying with the rule.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on
respondents; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this publication.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-59179; File No. SR-NYSEALTR-2008-16]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Make
Permanent the NYSE Alternext Bonds System Fee Schedule Which Is
Currently Set To Expire on December 31, 2008 as Well as Make Technical
Amendments to the Fee Schedule

December 30, 2008.
    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 December 24, 2008, NYSE Alternext U.S. LLC (``NYSEALTR'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by NYSEALTR. The Exchange
has designated this proposal as one establishing or changing a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\
which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to make permanent the NYSE Alternext Bonds
System fee schedule which is currently set to expire on December 31,
2008 as well as make technical amendments to the fee schedule.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available at NYSE
Alternext, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://
www.nyse.com.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NYSEALTR 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. NYSEALTR 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

1. Purpose
    NYSE Alternext proposes to make permanent the NYSE Alternext Bonds
System fee schedule which is currently set to expire on December 31,
2008 as well as make technical amendments to the fee schedule.
    The Exchange recently filed a rule change that established, inter
alia, the NYSE Alternext Bonds System fee schedule (``fee
schedule'').\5\ The fee schedule established execution fees per bond
for orders that took liquidity from the NYSE Alternext Bonds Book. The
fee schedule was structured to be similar to the NYSE Bonds Price List.
The Exchange's reasoning for structuring the fee schedule in this
fashion was because member organizations of NYSE Alternext that trade
bonds and NYSE member organizations are member organizations of both
exchanges. This dual membership structure allows all member
organizations to trade on both exchanges and harmonizes the pricing
structures of the two exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Release No. 59045 (December 3,
2008), 73 FR 75151 (December 10, 2008) (SR-NYSEALTR-2008-09).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is proposing a rule change to make the fee schedule
permanent. At the time the fee schedule was first implemented as part
of a larger NYSE Alternext filing (SR-NYSEALTR-2008-09), the Exchange
inadvertently applied an expiration date of December 31, 2008 to the
fee schedule which corresponded with the expiration of the NYSE Bonds
pilot program for liquidity takers.\6\ The Exchange intended to
implement a permanent fee schedule for the NYSE Alternext Bonds System.
Accordingly, the Exchange requests that the expiration date of December
31, 2008 be removed from the fee schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57823 (May 15,
2008), 73 FR 29804 (May 22, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-38).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the Exchange seeks to clarify the language in the fee
schedule by replacing the word ``order'' with ``execution.'' The
Exchange is not billing liquidity takers on the orders but rather the
executions of those orders. Accordingly, the Exchange has proposed to
amend the fee schedule to clarify the current language in the fee
schedule.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 \7\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \8\ in general and Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \9\ in
particular, in that it is designed to provide for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its members
and other persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the
proposal does not constitute an inequitable allocation of dues, fees
and other charges as the same fees will be charged to all member
organizations.

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing rule change establishes or changes a due,
fee, or other charge imposed by the Exchange, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and subparagraph (f)(2)
of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\11\ At any time within 60 days of the filing
of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such
rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
