SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-74098; File No. SR-NSCC-2014-12]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Securities Clearing
Corporation; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change To Amend NSCC's Rules
and Procedures in Connection With the Discontinuance of the Analytic
Reporting Service

January 20, 2015.

I. Introduction

    On November 25, 2014, National Securities Clearing Corporation
(``NSCC'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') proposed rule change SR-NSCC-2014-12 (``Proposed Rule
Change'') pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\2\ The Proposed Rule

Change was published for comment in the Federal Register on December
12, 2014.\3\ The Commission did not receive any comments on the
Proposed Rule Change. This order approves the Proposed Rule Change.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 73779 (December 8,
2014), 79 FR 73938 (December 12, 2014) (SR-NSCC-2014-12).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description

    NSCC filed the Proposed Rule Change to modify its Rules, By-Laws,
and Organization Certificate to discontinue the Analytic Reporting
Service (``Service''). With the Proposed Rule Change, NSCC seeks to
eliminate the Service because there is limited interest and it is not
recovering its costs of maintaining the Service.
    NSCC launched the Service in 2011 to provide NSCC members
(``Members'') access to aggregated-insurance-products information,
including benchmarking information and league tables (``Analytics
Data'').\4\ The Analytics Data comes primarily from data transmitted to
NSCC by Members from NSCC's other insurance and retirement service. In
2013, at the request of Members, NSCC enhanced the Service to include
insurance-transaction data processed outside of NSCC but submitted to
NSCC.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63604 (December 23,
2010), 75 FR 82115 (December 29, 2010) (SR-NSCC-2010-18).

78 FR 38743 (June 27, 2013) (SR-NSCC-2013-08).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Members access the Service via a paid subscription. However, since
its launch, there have been few subscribers, with only 12 Members
currently subscribing. As such, NSCC states that it is not recovering
the cost of maintaining the Service and proposes to eliminate it.

III. Discussion

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act \6\ 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 rules and regulations thereunder applicable
to such organization. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires, among
other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to
promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities
transactions.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(C).
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds the Proposed Rule Change consistent with the
Act. More specifically, the Commission finds that the Proposed Rule
Change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\8\ By
eliminating a service that is not economically efficient to maintain or
central to NSCC's core clearing business, NSCC will be able to better
allocate its economic resources to support the safeguarding of
securities or funds in its custody or control, and promote the prompt
and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 of the Act \9\ and
the rules and regulations thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,
that proposed rule change SR-NSCC-2014-12 be, and hereby is,
approved.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 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).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRM's should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
to request a copy of Advisory circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to amend the Class E surface area airspace
to within a 5-mile radius of the airport, with a segment extending from
the 5-mile radius to 7 miles southwest and 7 miles northeast of
Danville Regional Airport, Danville, VA. Due to increased air traffic,
controlled airspace would be continuous 24 hours, and no longer would
be effective during the specific dates and times established in
advanced by NOTAM. Also, the geographic coordinates of the airport
would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6002 of
FAA Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15,
2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations

listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would amend Class E airspace at Danville
Regional Airport, Danville, VA.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
