SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-91450; File No. SR-ICC-2021-006]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice of
Proposed Rule Change Relating to the ICC Clearing Rules and ICC
Exercise Procedures

April 1, 2021.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1) and Rule 19b-4, 17 CFR 240.19b-4, notice is
hereby given that on March 25, 2021, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have
been prepared by ICC. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

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

    The principal purpose of the proposed rule change is to revise the
ICC Clearing Rules (the ``Rules'') and the ICC Exercise Procedures in
connection with the clearing of credit default index Swaptions.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings specified in the Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In its filing with the Commission, ICC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change,
security-based swap submission, or advance notice and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed rule change, security-based swap
submission, or advance notice. The text of these statements may be
examined at the places specified in Item IV below. ICC has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most
significant aspects of these statements.

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

(a) Purpose
    ICC proposes revising the ICC Rules and the ICC Exercise Procedures
related to the clearing of credit default index Swaptions (``Index
Swaptions''). Pursuant to an Index Swaption, one party (the ``Swaption
Buyer'') has the right (but not the obligation) to cause the other
party (the ``Swaption Seller'') to enter into an index credit default
swap transaction at a pre-determined strike price on a specified
expiration date on specified terms. In the case of Index Swaptions
cleared by ICC, the underlying index credit default swap is limited to
certain CDX and iTraxx index credit default swaps that are accepted for
clearing by ICC, and which would be automatically cleared by ICC upon
exercise of the Index Swaption by the Swaption Buyer in accordance with
its terms. ICC proposes minor revisions to support the clearing of
Index Swaptions, including updates related to iTraxx Index Swaptions,
an enhancement to the exercise and assignment process, and other
clarifications. ICC proposes to make the changes effective following
Commission approval of the proposed rule change. The proposed revisions
are described in detail as follows.
I. Rule Amendments
    The proposed amendments consist of minor revisions to Rule 26R-319,
which addresses procedures for settlement of an exercised Index
Swaption. Additional settlements may be required under Rule 26R-319(b)
if one or more Credit Events has occurred with respect to the
underlying index at or prior to the expiration date of the Index
Swaption. Regarding the determination of Index Swaption settlement
amounts, Rule 26R-319(b)(ii) currently contemplates the inclusion of an
additional accrual-related component (``Additional Accrual'') which is
specified as zero in accordance with ICC Circular 2020/070.\2\ The
circular describes how ICC determines settlement amounts for cleared
Index Swaptions in light of industry discussions and refers market
participants to a detailed presentation on ICC's website.\3\ Amended
Rule 26R-319(b)(ii) would omit the description of the Additional
Accrual. The circular and presentation on the determination of Index
Swaption settlement amounts would remain on ICC's website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ ICC Circular 2020/070, issued on November 6, 2020, available
at: https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/clear_credit/circulars/Circular_2020_070.pdf.
    \3\ The presentation on Index Swaption settlement amounts is
available at: https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/Index_Option_Settlement_Payments.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Regarding iTraxx Index Swaptions, ICC proposes to amend Rule 26R-
319(c), which applies in the case of a relevant M(M)R Restructuring
Credit Event. ICC proposes to omit paragraph (i), related to the
delivery of MP Notices by Swaption Buyer and Swaption Sellers. ICC does
not proposes any changes to paragraph (ii), which details how an
Underlying New Trade comes into effect. An Underlying New Trade remains
defined in Rule 26R-102 as a new single name CDS trade that would arise
upon exercise of an Index Swaption where a relevant Restructuring
Credit Event, if applicable, has occurred with respect to a reference
entity in the relevant index. ICC proposes to amend paragraph (iii) and
remove paragraph (iv) which currently discuss the treatment of the
Underlying New Trade in respect of the Event Determination Date.
Instead, amended paragraph (iii) would discuss the treatment of the
Underlying New Trade depending on whether the expiration date occurred
prior to, or on or following, the commencement of the CEN Triggering
Period (as defined in the

Restructuring Procedures).\4\ If the expiration date occurs prior to
commencement of the period, the Underlying New Trade will be subject to
the provisions of the CDS Restructuring Rules in Subchapter 26E (and
may become a Triggered Restructuring CDS Transaction thereunder). If
the Expiration Date occurs on or following commencement of such period,
neither party will be permitted to deliver an MP Notice, the Underlying
New Trade cannot become a Triggered Restructuring CDS Transaction and
no Event Determination Date or settlement will occur.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ ICC Restructuring Procedures available at: https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/clear_credit/ICE_Clear_Credit_Restructuring_Procedures.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Exercise Procedures
    The Exercise Procedures supplement the provisions of Subchapter 26R
of the Rules with respect to Index Swaptions and provide further detail
as to the manner in which Index Swaptions may be exercised by Swaption
Buyers, the manner in which ICC will assign such exercises to Swaption
Sellers, and certain actions that ICC may take in the event of
technical issues.
    ICC proposes an enhancement to the exercise and assignment process
in the Exercise Procedures. ICC proposes to revise Paragraph 1, which
sets out key definitions used for the exercise of Index Swaptions, to
reference Paragraph 2.2(e) in respect of the Pre-Exercise Notification
Period. Paragraph 2.2(e) describes the Pre-Exercise Notification Period
during which an exercising party can submit, modify, and/or withdraw
preliminary exercise notices. The Exercise Procedures allow firms to
submit preliminary exercise notices such that the preliminary
instructions can be used as the final exercise instructions in the
event of a communications failure during the exercise window. The
proposed changes allow ICC to identify each exercising party's ``in the
money'' Index Option open positions for the relevant expiration date
and submit, on behalf of the exercising party, preliminary exercise
notices for all such in ``the money'' positions. Such preliminary
exercise notices submitted by ICC for an exercising party may be
modified or withdrawn by the exercising party during the Pre-Exercise
Notification Period. Additionally, ICC proposes a related change to
Paragraph 2.2(i) to reference ICC's ability to submit, on behalf of an
exercising party, a preliminary exercise notice.
    ICC proposes updates to Paragraphs 2.6 and 2.8, which include
procedures to address a failure of the electronic system established by
ICC for exercise (``Exercise System Failure''). In such case, Paragraph
2.6 provides ICC with several options including, canceling and
rescheduling the Exercise Period (i.e., the period on the expiration
date of an Index Swaption during which the Swaption Buyer may deliver
an exercise notice to ICC to exercise all or part of such Index
Swaption). The proposed changes clarify that canceling and rescheduling
the Exercise Period may include scheduling a new Pre-Exercise
Notification Period, in which case any preliminary exercise notices and
exercise notices submitted prior will be ineffective. Paragraph 2.8
addresses the situation where ICC will automatically exercise on the
expiration date each open position (of all exercising parties) in an
Index Swaption that is determined by ICC to be ``in the money'' on such
date. ICC proposes the inclusion of additional language relating to its
determination of whether an Index Swaption is ``in the money'' in
connection with the clearing of iTraxx Index Swaptions.
(b) Statutory Basis
    ICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act \5\ and the regulations
thereunder applicable to it, including the applicable standards under
Rule 17Ad-22.\6\ In particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \7\
requires that the rule change be consistent with the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and
derivative agreements, contracts and transactions cleared by ICC, the
safeguarding of securities and funds in the custody or control of ICC
or for which it is responsible, and the protection of investors and the
public interest. ICC proposes minor changes to the Rules and Exercise
Procedures to support the clearing of Index Swaptions. As described
above, with respect to iTraxx Index Swaptions, ICC proposes amending
the procedures for an M(M)R Restructuring Credit Event in Rule 26R-
319(c) and for the determination of whether an Index Swaption is ``in
the money'' in Paragraph 2.8 the Exercise Procedures. The amended
Exercise Procedures incorporate an additional safety feature, including
in the case of a technology or communication error, to allow ICC to
submit preliminary exercise notices on behalf of exercising parties, as
described in Paragraph 2.2(e). The additional clarifications ensure
that the Rules and Exercise Procedures remain effective, clear, and up-
to-date, including by omitting the description of Additional Accrual in
Rule 26R-319(b), which ICC does not consider necessary in the Rules.
Accordingly, in ICC's view, the proposed rule change will further
ensure that ICC's Rules and policies and procedures clearly reflect the
terms and conditions applicable to Index Swaptions and is thus
consistent with the prompt and accurate clearing and settlement of the
contracts cleared by ICC, including Index Swaptions, the safeguarding
of securities and funds in the custody or control of ICC or for which
it is responsible, and the protection of investors and the public
interest, within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\8\

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

    The amendments would also satisfy relevant requirements of Rule
17Ad-22.\9\ Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1) \10\ requires each covered clearing
agency 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. The Exercise Procedures
supplement the provisions of Subchapter 26R of the Rules with respect
to Index Swaptions and further ensure that ICC's Rules clearly reflect
the terms and conditions applicable to Index Swaptions. The proposed
changes would support the clearing of Index Swaptions by ICC, including
updates related to iTraxx Index Swaptions and other clarifications, to
ensure that the ICC Rules and Exercise Procedures clearly and
accurately reflect the requirements and procedures applicable to iTraxx
Index Swaptions and Index Swaptions more generally. The proposed rule
change would continue to support the legal basis for ICC's clearance of
Index Swaptions and operation of the exercise and assignment process,
including addressing situations where there are technical issues. As
such, the proposed rule change would satisfy the requirements of the
Rule 17Ad-22(e)(1).\11\

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

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(10) \12\ requires each covered clearing agency to
establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to establish and maintain transparent
written standards that state its obligations with respect to the
delivery of physical instruments,

and establish and maintain operational practices that identify,
monitor, and manage the risks associated with such physical deliveries.
The Rules continue to clearly set out the procedures for settlement of
Index Swaptions on exercise, which result in the creation of a cleared
underlying index CDS Contract (and in some cases in the event of a
Restructuring Credit Event, an Underlying New Trade. The proposed Rule
amendments consist of changes related to the clearing of iTraxx Index
Swaptions and other clarifications. ICC proposes to omit the
description of Additional Accrual in Rule 26R-319(b), which ICC does
not consider necessary in the Rules. A more comprehensive explanation
on the determination of Index Swaption settlement amounts would remain,
and is more fitting, in the circular and presentation on ICC's website.
Regarding of iTraxx Index Swaptions, ICC would revise Rule 26R-319(c),
applicable in the case of a relevant M(M)R Restructuring Credit Event,
and the treatment of the Underlying New Trade would depend on whether
the expiration date occurred prior to, or on or following, the
commencement of the CEN Triggering Period. In ICC's view, the Rules
continue to enable ICC to identify and manage the risks of settlement
of Index Swaptions on exercise. As such, the amendments would satisfy
the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(10).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(10).
    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(17) \14\ requires, in relevant part, each covered
clearing agency to establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written
policies and procedures reasonably designed to manage its operational
risks by (i) 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; and (ii)
ensuring that systems have a high degree of security, resiliency,
operational reliability, and adequate, scalable capacity. The Exercise
Procedures allow ICC to manage the operational risks associated with
the exercise and assignment process by establishing procedures for the
exercise and assignment of Index Swaptions, which allows ICC to
identify plausible sources of operational risks in clearing Index
Swaptions and minimize their impact through appropriate systems,
policies, procedures, and controls. The proposed changes allow ICC to
identify each exercising party's ``in the money'' Index Option open
positions for the relevant expiration date and submit preliminary
exercise notices for all such in ``the money'' positions. These
revisions are intended to serve as a safety feature, including in the
case of a technology or communication error, and such preliminary
exercise notices submitted by ICC may be modified or withdrawn by the
exercising party during the Pre-Exercise Notification Period. Such
procedures are designed to help mitigate the impact from technical
issues to ensure that the system has a high degree of security,
resiliency, operational reliability, and adequate, scalable capacity.
The proposed rule change is therefore reasonably designed to meet the
requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(17).\15\

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

    ICC does not believe the proposed amendments would have any impact,
or impose any burden, on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purpose of the Act. The proposed changes to the ICC
Rules and ICC Exercise Procedures will apply uniformly across all
market participants. Therefore, ICC does not believe the proposed rule
change imposes any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purpose of the Act.

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

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

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 update is administrative change and does not
change the airspace boundaries or operating requirements.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000 of
FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 annually. This document amends
the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, dated August
19, 2022, and effective September 15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is
publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
These amendments will be published in the next update to FAA Order JO
7400.11. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace
areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends Class D airspace for Cape
Cod Gateway Airport, Hyannis, MA, by updating the airport name
(formerly Barnstable Municipal Airport-Boardman/Polando Field) and
geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database. In
addition, this action makes the editorial changes replacing the term
Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions and replacing the term
Airport/Facility Directory with Chart Supplement. This action is an
administrative change and does not affect the airspace boundaries or
operating requirements; therefore, notice and public procedure under 5
U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed 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.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
