Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2020-0492.
    Petitioner: Airlines for America.
    Sections of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. Sec.  91.9(a) and (b),
121.153(a), 121.337(b)(9)(iii).
    Description of Relief Sought: Airlines for America petitions for
relief from 14 CFR 91.9(a) and (b), 121.153(a), and 121.337(b)(9)(iii)
to allow its member airlines to transport cargo, subject to the FAA's
conditions, on the floor of the main deck of transport category
airplanes without revenue passengers onboard. COVID-19 has dramatically
reduced the demand for commercial air travel. Due to this extreme
reduction in demand, passenger carriers now have the capacity to carry
cargo, including critical medical cargo, in-cabin. The relief that
would be provided by this exemption would also support the need to
replace the cargo capacity provided on airplanes normally flown by
passenger carriers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of June 11, 2010 (75 FR 33311), FDA
announced the availability of a guidance for industry entitled
``Bioequivalence Recommendations for Specific Products'' that explained
the process that would be used to make product-specific guidances
available to the public on FDA's website at https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/default.htm.
    As described in that guidance, FDA adopted this process as a means
to develop and disseminate product-specific guidances and provide a
meaningful opportunity for the public to consider and comment on those
guidances. Under that process, draft guidances are posted on FDA's
website and announced periodically in the Federal Register. The public
is encouraged to submit comments on those recommendations within 60
days of their announcement in the Federal Register. FDA considers any
comments received and either publishes final guidances or publishes
revised draft guidances for comment. Guidances were last announced in
the Federal Register on June 4, 2020. This notice announces draft
product-specific guidances, either new or revised, that are posted on
FDA's website.

II. Drug Products for Which New Draft Product-Specific Guidances are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 29, 2012, the Department published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the requirement for air
carriers to report to the Department incidents involving the loss,
injury, or death of an animal during air transport. The NPRM proposed
to: (1) Expand the reporting requirement to U.S. carriers that operate
scheduled service with at least one aircraft with a design capacity of
more than 60 seats; (2) expand the definition of ``animal'' to include
all cats and dogs transported by the carriers, regardless of whether
the cat or dog is transported as a pet by its owner or as part of a
commercial shipment (e.g., shipped by a breeder); and (3) require all
covered carriers to provide in their December reports for each year the
total number of animals that were lost, injured, or died during air
transport for the calendar year. We also sought comment on requiring
carriers to report the total number of animals transported in the
calendar year in the December reports. Comments on the matters proposed
were to be received 60 days after publication of the NPRM, or by August
28, 2012.

Request for Comment Period Extension

    We received a joint request for an extension of time in the comment
period for this rulemaking from Airlines for America (A4A), the
Regional Airline Association (RAA), the Air Carrier Association of
America, Inc. (ACAA), and their respective members (the petitioners).
According to the request, the extension of time is needed so interested
parties have sufficient time to review and comment on the preliminary
regulatory analysis (PRA). The petitioners state that as of July 20,
2012, the docket associated with this rulemaking did not yet include
the Department's PRA, which provides the cost and benefit analysis
underpinning the proposal. The petitioners state that comment
development cannot progress until the PRA is available. The PRA was
posted in the docket on July 24, 2012.
    Under the circumstances, we concur with the request for an
extension of the comment period. We have decided to grant an extension
of 30 days, or until September 27, 2012, for the public to comment on
the NPRM. In doing so, we have balanced the stated need for additional
time for comments with the need to proceed expeditiously with this
important rulemaking. We take note of the fact that with the additional
30 days we are granting here, interested parties will have more than
two months to comment on the PRA, which we believe is adequate time for
analysis and coordination regarding the proposals. Accordingly, the
Department finds that good cause exists to extend the time for comments
on the proposed rule from August 28, 2012, to September 27, 2012. We do
not anticipate any further extension of the comment period for this
rulemaking. Comments received after September 27, 2012, will be
considered to the extent practicable.

Request for Clarification

    In addition to requesting that the comment period be extended, the
petitioners posed a number of questions

to the Department concerning the proposed requirement that carriers
report the total number of animals transported during a calendar year
with that year's December reports, the cost to carriers of amending the
definition of ``animal'' for reporting purposes, and the number of
carriers affected by the reporting requirement.

Issues Concerning the Proposed Requirement That Carriers Report the
Total Number of Animals Transported in the Calendar Year in the
December Reports

    The petitioners state that there are conflicting statements between
the NPRM summary and the NPRM Regulatory Analyses and Notices (RAN)
section with respect to the proposed requirement that carriers report
the total number of animals transported in the calendar year in the
December reports. They state that while the RAN section indicates that
carriers would be required to report only during the months where the
carriers experience a reportable animal incident, the preamble asks
whether carriers should be required to file reports in months when no
incident takes place. The petitioners seek clarification on this issue
and request that the RAN section of the preamble be clarified if the
proposal is that carrier be required to file negative reports.
    As stated in the RAN section, in addition to proposing that covered
carriers report the total number of animals transported in the calendar
year in their December reports, the Department proposed that covered
carriers only submit a report during the months when the carriers have
a reportable animal incident. However, we also sought comment on
whether to require carriers to file reports even if the carriers did
not have any incidents involving the loss, injury, or death of an
animal during a particular month. This is not inconsistent. The NPRM is
not proposing that carriers file a negative report but is soliciting
comment on this point so we can determine whether the final rule should
include a general requirement that covered carriers must submit reports
each month even if the carriers do not have any reportable incidents
during a particular month or perhaps a requirement that carriers must
file a December report regardless of whether any incidents occurred in
that month to cover the total number of animals transported that year.

Issues Concerning the Cost to Covered Carriers of Amending the
Definition of Animal

    The petitioners state that for the 15 carriers that are currently
required to report incidents involving the loss, injury, or death of an
animal during air transport, the RAN is incorrect in stating that there
would be no additional costs associated with amending the definition of
``animal'' for reporting purposes to include all cats and dogs
transported by the carrier regardless of whether the cat or dog is
transported as a pet by its owner or as part of a commercial shipment.
They state that the 15 carriers already subject to the reporting
requirement would likely incur additional costs, and the Department
should correct the RAN.
    The statement in the RAN that there would be no additional costs to
the 15 carriers that already collect information on incidents involving
loss, injury, or death of an animal refers to costs associated with
actually filing monthly reports. The Department acknowledges that there
would be costs associated with collecting more information to report,
i.e., not only on incidents involving pets but also incidents involving
dogs and cats that are shipped commercially. In the NPRM, the
Department states that it believes the cost of the proposed expanded
definition of an animal covered by the reporting rule would impact
airlines but the cost would still be minimal. We encourage comments and
data about expected costs resulting from the expansion of the
definition of ``animal.''

Issues Concerning the Scope of the Reporting Requirement

    The petitioners state that although the RAN states that the scope
of the carriers covered by the animal incident reporting requirements
would expand under the NPRM proposal from 15 to 36 carriers, the NPRM
does not list the carriers so there is no way to verify if the list is
accurate. They point out that presumably the PRA lists the potentially
impacted carriers and that informed comment cannot progress until the
PRA and that information is available.
    The PRA does in fact list the carriers that would be affected by
the NPRM and, as noted above, the PRA was posted in the docket on July
24, 2012. The public is invited to comment on the accuracy of that
list.

    Issued this 28th day of August, 2012, in Washington, DC under
authority delegated in 14 CFR part 1.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of Go EZ Corp.; Order of Suspension of Trading

April 4, 2016.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Go EZ Corp. (``GEZC'') (CIK No. 314197) because of questions regarding
the accuracy and adequacy of publicly disseminated information in press
releases and public filings concerning, among other things, GEZC's
business prospects, operations, and control. GEZC is a Delaware
corporation whose principal place of business is listed as 6782 Collins
Ave., Miami Beach, Florida. GEZC's common stock is quoted on OTC Link
operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the ticker symbol GEZC.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, on
April 4, 2016 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on April 15, 2016.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP13-3-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Rose Lake
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Rose Lake Expansion Project
involving the modification of compression facilities by Tennessee Gas
Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (TGP) in Bradford and Tioga Counties,
Pennsylvania. The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making
process to determine whether the project is in the public convenience
and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. Your input will help the Commission staff
determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Please note that
the scoping period will close on December 10, 2012.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    TGP provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the FERC
entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I
Need To Know?''. This fact sheet addresses a number of typically-asked
questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for viewing on
the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov).

Summary of the Proposed Project

    TGP proposes to construct, abandon, and replace certain compression
facilities at three existing compressor stations on its 300 Line in
northeastern Pennsylvania. The proposed Rose Lake Expansion Project
includes the following:
     Installation of a new 12,630 horsepower (hp) compressor
unit, ancillary equipment, and station piping modifications at Station
315 in Tioga County, Pennsylvania;
     Abandonment in place of two 4,500 hp compressor units and
replacing these with the installation of a new 12,661 hp compressor
unit, ancillary equipment, and station piping modifications at Station
319 in Bradford County, Pennsylvania; and
     Abandonment by removal of an existing gear box and
compressor unit and replacement with a new gear box and compressor
unit, ancillary equipment, and station piping modifications at Station
317 in Bradford County, Pennsylvania.
    Construction of the project would disturb about 70 acres of land,
of which approximately 5.4 acres would be permanently impacted. All
land disturbance would occur on land owned by TGP adjacent to its
existing facilities. The general location of the project facilities is
shown in appendix 1.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of appendices were sent to all those
receiving this notice in the mail and are available at www.ferc.gov
using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the Commission's Public
Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, or call
(202) 502-8371. For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to
the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\2\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as ``scoping.'' The main goal of
the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the proposed project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     Land use;
     Water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     Cultural resources;
     Vegetation and wildlife;
     Air quality and noise;
     Endangered and threatened species; and
     Public safety.
    We will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed
project or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to
lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. Depending on
the comments received during the scoping process, we may also publish
and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment period. We
will consider all comments on the EA before making our recommendations
to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and
address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the
Public Participation section beginning on page 4.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues of
this project to formally cooperate with us in the preparation of the
EA.\3\ Agencies that would like to request cooperating agency status
should follow the instructions for filing comments provided under the
Public Participation section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Sec.  1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the Pennsylvania State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\4\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register for Historic
Places.

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

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Europe Limited; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to ICE Clear Europe Operational
Risk and Resilience Policy

November 18, 2022.

I. Introduction

    On September 22, 2022, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear
Europe'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a
proposed rule change to amend its Operational Risk Management Policy
and rename it the Operational Risk and Resilience Policy. The proposed
rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on
October 7, 2022.\3\ The Commission did not receive comments regarding
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\ Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Europe Limited;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the ICE Clear
Europe Operational Risk and Resiliency Policy, Exchange Act Release
No. 95964 (Oct. 3, 2022); 87 FR 61109 (Oct. 7, 2022) (SR-ICEEU-2022-
015) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

A. Background

    ICE Clear Europe currently has in place an Operational Risk
Management Policy. The current Operational Risk Management Policy
explains how ICE Clear Europe identifies, assesses, manages, monitors,
and reports its operational risks. The proposed rule

change would maintain the current substance of the Operational Risk
Management Policy while expanding it to include a description of how
ICE Clear Europe maintains operational resilience, in addition to
managing operational risk. The proposed rule change would define
operational resilience as the ability to prevent, respond to, recover,
and learn from operational service disruption events. The proposed rule
change would add descriptions of the following elements that ICE Clear
Europe employs to maintain operational resilience: (i) the three lines
of defense; (ii) certain other ICE Clear Europe policies and procedures
that form a framework for managing and maintaining operational
resilience; (iii) important business services; (iv) impact tolerances;
and (v) scenario analysis and testing. The proposed rule change also
would rename the Operational Risk Management Policy as the Operational
Risk and Resilience Policy (referred to below as the ``Policy'').
    ICE Clear Europe maintains that overall these changes would
memorialize in the Policy its current practices with respect to
operational resilience. ICE Clear Europe is making these changes to
demonstrate compliance with certain additional legal requirements
applicable to ICE Clear Europe in its home jurisdiction, the United
Kingdom.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Notice, 87 FR at 61109.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition to the changes related to operational resilience, the
proposed rule change would make other updates to the Policy, including
fixing typographical errors and adjusting the frequency of review.

B. Operational Resilience Updates

i. Three Lines of Defense
    The proposed rule change would add to the Policy a description of
the three lines of defense, which is the model that ICE Clear Europe
currently uses for managing risks. The proposed rule change would not
make any changes to this model but would memorialize it in the Policy,
in compliance with certain additional legal requirements applicable to
ICE Clear Europe in its home jurisdiction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Notice, 87 FR at 61109.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the three lines of defense model, the ICE Clear Europe
business line that generates the risk is considered to be the First
Line of defense (or Risk Owner). The First Line is responsible for
managing risks and adhering to the Policy. All ICE Clear Europe
departments, other than the Risk Oversight Department and Internal
Audit, could be the First Line of defense.
    The Risk Oversight Department/Enterprise Risk Management \6\ is the
Second Line of defense. The Second Line is responsible for challenging
the First Line and monitoring adherence to the Policy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ ICE's Enterprise Risk Management team coordinates with ICE
Clear Europe's Risk Oversight Department in providing the Second
Line function.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Internal Audit is the Third Line of defense. It provides
independent and objective assurance to ICE Clear Europe's Board
regarding, among other things, evaluation of governance, risk
management, and key controls mitigating current and evolving risk.
ii. Framework
    The proposed rule change would add to the Policy a description of
the other policies and procedures that ICE Clear Europe uses to
maintain operational resilience. ICE Clear Europe considers these
policies and procedures to form a complimentary operational risk and
resilience framework. As would be described in the Policy, ICE Clear
Europe uses this framework to reduce the likelihood of an operational
disruption event within acceptable tolerance, and mitigate and quickly
recover from an operational disruption event. In addition to the Policy
itself, the policies and procedures in the framework are: (i) the
Incident Management Policy; \7\ (ii) the Business Continuity & Disaster
Recovery Policy; \8\ (iii) the Information Security Policy and Cyber
Security Strategy; \9\ (iv) the Outsourcing Policy; \10\ and (v) the
Vendor Management Policy.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ ICE Clear Europe's Incident Management Policy provides a
framework for the communication, resolution, and recording of
incidents and to ensure incidents are resolved in a planned and
controlled manner so that any interruption is resolved quickly, and
service is restored.
    \8\ ICE Clear Europe's Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
helps to ensure appropriate plans are in place to recover from a
business continuity or disaster recovery incident which impact the
availability of primary office, failure in IT infrastructure or
reduced availability of staff.
    \9\ ICE Clear Europe's Information Security Policy and Cyber
Security Strategy explains the responsibilities of users as well as
the steps they must take to help protect information and information
systems and ways to prevent and respond to a variety of threats to
information and information systems.
    \10\ ICE Clear Europe's Outsourcing Policy governs outsourcing
arrangements to ensure minimum operational resilience standards are
being met by outsourced service providers.
    \11\ ICE Clear Europe's Vendor Management Policy helps to ensure
the requisite due diligence is performed and helps to ensure that
vendors have the capacity, resiliency and capability to fully
support ICE Clear Europe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Again, ICE Clear Europe currently maintains these policies and
procedures and the proposed rule change would not alter these policies
and procedures. The proposed rule change would only memorialize these
policies and procedures to demonstrate how they form a complimentary
framework for managing and maintaining ICE Clear Europe's operational
resilience, in compliance with certain additional legal requirements
applicable to ICE Clear Europe in its home jurisdiction.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ Notice, 87 FR at 61109, 61110.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

iii. Important Business Services
    Next, the proposed rule change would add a description of ICE Clear
Europe's Important Business Services and set certain requirements with
respect to these services. The proposed rule change would define a
business service as important if a prolonged disruption of that service
would significantly disrupt the orderly functioning of a market that
ICE Clear Europe serves, thereby impacting financial stability. The
proposed rule change would require that ICE Clear Europe identify and
document its Important Business Services and the people, processes,
technology, facilities, and underlying information related to such
services. Moreover, the relevant First Line must review the important
business service annually, subject to oversight by Second Line and
approval by a Board-level committee.
    ICE Clear Europe currently maintains and documents its critical
business services, as part of managing its operational risk and
maintaining operational resilience. ICE Clear Europe's critical
business services are similar to Important Business Services, but
slightly broader in scope. ICE Clear Europe's Important Business
Services therefore would be a subset of its critical business services.
Given that, ICE Clear Europe maintains that overall, identifying its
Important Business Services would not substantively alter its existing
risk management framework. While not changing its approach in a
substantive way, ICE Clear Europe is introducing the concept of
Important Business Services to demonstrate compliance with certain
additional legal requirements applicable in its home jurisdiction.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Notice, 87 FR at 61110.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

iv. Impact Tolerances
    The proposed rule change would also add a description of the
maximum levels of disruption to its Important Business Services that
ICE Clear Europe could tolerate. The proposed rule change would
describe these as impact tolerances. For each Important Business

Service, ICE Clear Europe would establish an appropriate impact
tolerance, as well as controls and recovery procedures to help ensure
ICE Clear Europe can recover when the tolerance is exceeded.
    ICE Clear Europe would monitor impact tolerances and would escalate
breaches to the Executive Risk Committee and Board. Moreover, First
Line personnel would review breaches and establish a remediation plan.
Second Line would be required to agree to the review and remediation
plan, and ultimately the review and remediation would be presented to
the Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Notice, 87 FR at 61110.
    \15\ Notice, 87 FR at 61110.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First Line would review the impact tolerances annually. Second Line
would oversee this review and an appropriate Board-level Committee
would approve it.
    ICE Clear Europe currently maintains a risk management framework
that already covers incident management based on levels of severity
linked to financial, reputational, operational and regulatory
impacts.\14\ ICE Clear Europe therefore maintains that overall,
establishing impact tolerances with respect to its Important Business
Services would build on its existing risk management framework to
demonstrate compliance with certain additional legal requirements
applicable in its home jurisdiction.\15\
v. Scenario Analysis and Testing

    The proposed rule change also would add an overview of ICE Clear
Europe's scenario analysis and testing. ICE Clear Europe would conduct
scenario analysis and testing on its Important Business Services to
determine if ICE Clear Europe can remain within the impact tolerances
under a range of extreme but plausible disruption scenarios. ICE Clear
Europe's testing scenarios would include scenarios that affect more
than one Important Business Service at a time and that take into
account dependencies.
    For any identified weaknesses related to extreme but plausible
scenarios, the First Line must develop a remediation plan, with which
the Second Line must agree. Moreover, scenario analysis and testing
results would be reported to the Executive Risk Committee and the
Board.
    ICE Clear Europe currently conducts scenario analysis and testing.
ICE Clear Europe is adding this section to the Policy to document its
scenario analysis and testing, particularly with respect to its
Important Business Services. As discussed above, ICE Clear Europe is
identifying, and establishing impact tolerances for its Important
Business Services in compliance with certain additional legal
requirements applicable to ICE Clear Europe in its home
jurisdiction.\16\ ICE Clear Europe maintains that memorializing its
approach to scenario analysis and testing, in particular with respect
to its Important Business Services, would further demonstrate
compliance with these legal requirements.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ Notice, 87 FR at 61110.
    \17\ Notice, 87 FR at 61110.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Other Updates and Typographical Corrections

    In addition to expanding the Policy to include operational
resilience, the proposed rule change would make other updates to the
Policy. For example, the proposed rule change would correct
typographical errors, update references, and remove redundant
references. The proposed rule change also would rename the section
formerly titled ``The Policy for Operational Risk Management'' as
``Risk and Control Assessments,'' to more clearly reflect the
information contained there.
    The proposed rule change also would correct a reference to the
Enterprise Risk Register. Section 3.1 currently provides that all
``risks are documented in the Enterprise Risk Register . . .'' The
proposed rule change would correct this to provide instead that all
``risk assessments,'' and not just ``risks,'' are documented in the
Enterprise Risk Register. The proposed rule change also would correct a
reference to the Enterprise Risk Register in Section 3.1, changing it
from the ``Risk Register Dashboard'' to the ``Enterprise Risk
Register.''
    The proposed rule change would correct a drafting error in Section
3.2.5. Section 3.2.5 requires, among other things, that ICE Clear
Europe periodically monitor key Controls, meaning controls that
mitigate high inherent risks. As currently written, Section 3.2.5
requires that Enterprise Risk Management coordinate with the First,
Second, and Third Lines to develop control monitoring plans for Key
Controls. The proposed rule change would delete the reference to the
Second Line. Given that the Enterprise Risk Management Group is, as
noted above, part of ICE Clear Europe's Second Line, the reference is
redundant.
    Finally, the proposed rule change would amend the review section of
the Policy to require that it be subject to at least an annual review
or earlier in the event of a material change. Currently the Policy is
subject to a biennial review or earlier in the event of a material
change. ICE Clear Europe is making this change to make the Policy
consistent with other ICE Clear Europe policies, which are subject to
annual reviews.

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act 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.\18\ For the reasons discussed below, the Commission finds
that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F)
of the Act,\19\ and Rules 17Ad-22(e)(2)(v) and 17Ad-22(e)(17)
thereunder.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(v) and (e)(17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires, among other things, that
the rules of ICE Clear Europe be designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to
the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and
transactions.\21\ Based on its review of the record, and for the
reasons discussed below, the Commission believes the proposed changes
to the Policy are consistent with the promotion of the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed rule change would help
ICE Clear Europe maintain its overall operational resilience while
demonstrating compliance with certain additional legal requirements
applicable to ICE Clear Europe in its home jurisdiction. It would do so
by memorializing in the Policy how ICE Clear Europe manages and
maintains its operational resilience. As discussed above, ICE Clear
Europe does so by using, among others, the three lines of defense model
and maintain complimentary operational risk and resilience framework.
The Commission believes that memorializing these practices in the
Policy would help to ensure that ICE Clear Europe personnel follow them
on a consistent and predictable basis. Because the Commission believes
that these practices are an effective means of maintaining operational
resilience, the Commission believes that

memorializing them in the Policy, and therefore helping to ensure that
ICE Clear Europe personnel follow these processes on a consistent and
predictable basis, would help ICE Clear Europe maintain operational
resilience.
    The Commission similarly believes that identifying ICE Clear
Europe's Important Business Services, setting impact tolerances with
respect to those services, and conducting scenario and analysis and
testing for those services, would help ICE Clear Europe to maintain
these Important Business Services in the event of a disruption. Because
a prolonged disruption to an Important Business Service would
significantly disrupt the orderly functioning of a market that ICE
Clear Europe serves, thus impacting financial stability, the Commission
believes that maintaining Important Business Services against the
threat of a disruption and other operational risks would help ICE Clear
Europe maintain its overall operational resilience.
    Moreover, the Commission believes that the other changes discussed
in Part II.C above would improve the Policy and therefore ICE Clear
Europe's ability to maintain operational resilience using the Policy.
For example, the Commission believes that fixing typographical errors,
removing the redundant reference to the Second Line in Section 3.2.5,
and updating references would help to ensure that the Policy can be
applied consistently and free from error. The Commission also believes
that making the Policy subject to at least an annual review or earlier
in the event of a material change, rather than a biennial review, would
help to identify any gaps and necessary resolutions or updates sooner
than what is currently required.
    For these reasons, the Commission believes the proposed rule change
would help ICE Clear Europe maintain operational resilience using the
Policy. ICE Clear Europe's operational resilience should decrease the
likelihood that operational incidents disrupt its ability to promptly
and accurately clear and settle securities transactions. The Commission
believes therefore the proposed rule change would maintain ICE Clear
Europe's ability to promptly and accurately clear and settle securities
transactions, consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

ii. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(v)

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(v) requires that ICE Clear Europe establish,
implement, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to provide for governance arrangements that, among
other things, specify clear and direct lines of responsibility.\23\ The
Commission believes that the proposed changes discussed above would
maintain clear and direct lines of responsibility for First Line and
Second Line personnel. For example, the First Line would review each
Important Business Service annually, subject to oversight by the Risk
Oversight Department and approval by a Board-level committee. The First
Line additionally would review the impact tolerances annually, and the
Second Line would oversee this review. The First Line also would, as
discussed above, develop plans to remediate certain findings from
scenario analysis and testing. As discussed above, the proposed rule
change would memorialize these lines of responsibility to demonstrate
compliance with certain additional legal requirements applicable to ICE
Clear Europe in its home jurisdiction. The Commission believes all of
these changes would specify clear and direct lines of responsibility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(v).\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

iii. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(e)(17)

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(17) requires that ICE Clear Europe establish,
implement, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to manage its operational risks by, among other
things, identifying the plausible sources of operational risk, both
internal and external, and mitigating their impact through the use of
appropriate systems, policies, procedures, and controls.\25\ The
Commission believes that by memorializing in the Policy how ICE Clear
Europe manages and maintains its operational resilience, the proposed
rule change would mitigate the impact of operational risk at ICE Clear
Europe by helping to ensure that ICE Clear Europe personnel follow
these processes on a consistent and predictable basis, and therefore
are able to maintain operational resilience and mitigate the impact of
operational risk at ICE Clear Europe. The Commission also believes that
identifying ICE Clear Europe's Important Business Services, setting
impact tolerances with respect to those services, and conducting
scenario and analysis and testing for those services would help ICE
Clear Europe to identify, manage, and mitigate the impact of
operational risks to these Important Business Services. Therefore, the
Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Rule
17Ad-22(e)(17).\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(17).
    \26\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the
Act,\27\ and Rules 17Ad-22(e)(2)(v) and 17Ad-22(e)(17) thereunder.\28\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \28\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(v) and (e)(17).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
\29\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ICEEU-2022-015) be, and hereby
is, approved.\30\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \29\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \30\ 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).
