SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-91894; File No. SR-ICC-2021-007]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change Relating to the ICC's Treasury
Operations Policies and Procedures

May 13, 2021.

I. Introduction

    On March 29, 2021, 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 revise the ICC
Treasury Operations Policies and Procedures (the ``Treasury Policy'').
The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal
Register on April 13, 2021.\3\ The Commission did not receive comments
on the proposed rule change. For the reasons discussed below, the
Commission is approving the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice
of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the ICC's Treasury
Operations Policies and Procedures, Exchange Act Release No. 91489
(April 7, 2021), 86 FR 19311 (April 13, 2021) (SR-ICC-2021-007)
(``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    ICC is proposing amendments to its Treasury Policy to make certain
clarifications and updates with respect to governance arrangements and
collateral asset haircuts, as well as minor clean-up changes. The
proposed amendments are summarized below.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The following description of the proposed rule change is
substantially excerpted from the Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ICC proposes to amend the ``Revision History'' section of the
Treasury Policy. The proposed changes would remove an incorrect
statement that the document's revision history is limited to the last
three years. The proposed changes would also memorialize ICC's review
and approval process of the Treasury Policy document, which consists of
review by the ICC Risk Committee and review and approval by the ICC
Board of Managers (the ``Board'') at least annually. Additionally, ICC
would update the revision history table to include the most recent
changes to the document.
    ICC also proposes updates and clarification changes to the
``Collateral Assets Risk Management Framework'' appendix to the
Treasury Policy (``Appendix 6''). Under the Treasury Policy, ICC
accounts for the risk associated with fluctuations in the value of
collateral assets by discounting, or applying ``haircuts'' to, such
assets based on the risk measures and risk factors set forth in
Appendix 6. The ICC Risk Department (the ``Risk Department'')
calculates such haircuts for various collateral assets as described in
Appendix 6 on an ongoing basis. ICC proposes to change Appendix 6 to
update the measure of daily changes for collateral assets such as
sovereign debt. Specifically, the proposed changes would amend and
remove certain language that differentiates between yield rates greater
than and less than or equal to one basis point in respect of sovereign
debt collateral haircuts. ICC represents that such amendments do not
represent a change to the methodology and would provide a more
generalized and consistent collateral risk management framework for
sovereign debt.\5\ ICC proposes additional clarifications, including
with respect to time series used for determining sovereign debt
collateral haircuts and a formula regarding a risk-factor specific
haircut. ICC also proposes a grammatical update to change a reference
to ``haircuts'' from plural to singular.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Notice, 86 FR at 19311.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ICC further proposes additional detail on the process of reviewing
and updating collateral asset haircuts. Appendix 6 currently states
that such haircuts are reviewed monthly. ICC proposes to clarify that
the Risk Department will establish haircuts for the respective
collateral asset types within measured intervals, and review them at
least monthly to determine the need for updates. ICC also proposes to
specify that the Risk Department may use discretion to update
collateral asset haircuts during periods of extreme market stress, and
specifically during periods when collateral assets appreciate in
response to central banks' policy implementations, as a temporary means
to reduce procyclical impacts.

III. 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. For the reasons given below, the Commission finds that
the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the
Act \6\ and Rules 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v), (e)(3)(i), and (e)(5)
thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v), (e)(3)(i), and (e)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. 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 ICC be designed to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent
applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions and to
assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the
custody or control of ICC or for which it is responsible.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, the proposed rule change would update and
clarify the revision history of the Treasury Policy document and
memorialize the governance arrangements for its review and approval.
The Commission believes that these proposed changes should help ICC
maintain a complete and transparent history of changes to the Treasury
Policy and ensure that the Treasury Policy is reviewed and approved at
least annually to support ICC's ongoing treasury functions, including
collateral asset risk

management. The Commission believes these aspects of the proposed rule
change should facilitate ICC's ability to maintain CDS clearing
services that are supported by, and consistent with, clear and
transparent governance arrangements that comply with internal Treasury
policies and procedures, which should, in turn, help ICC continue to
promote the prompt and accurate settlement of CDS transactions.
    ICC would also update and clarify its collateral assets risk
management framework in Appendix 6 of the Treasury Policy by changing
certain risk measures for calculating collateral asset haircuts.
Specifically, as described above, the proposed rule change would update
the measure of daily changes for collateral assets such as sovereign
debt, including with respect to time series used for sovereign debt
collateral haircuts and a formula regarding a risk-factor specific
haircut. ICC would also change a reference to ``haircuts'' from plural
to singular. Further, ICC also proposes additional detail in Appendix 6
on the process and frequency of reviewing and updating collateral asset
haircuts. ICC proposes to clarify that the Risk Department will
establish haircuts for the respective collateral asset types within
measured intervals, and review them at least monthly to determine the
need for updates. ICC also proposes to specify that the Risk Department
may use discretion to update collateral asset haircuts during periods
of extreme market stress to reduce procyclicality.
    Taken together, the proposed changes to Appendix 6 should enhance
the accuracy of ICC's collateral asset haircuts and help ICC to ensure
that, even in stressed market conditions, it will continue to collect
sufficient collateral from its clearing participants and that such
collateral could be liquidated in a timely manner to meet its financial
obligations as a central counterparty while also limiting the
likelihood of procyclical impacts from haircuts as issuer
creditworthiness deteriorates and haircuts increase. Moreover, these
proposed changes should enhance ICC's ability to manage the credit,
liquidity, and market risks it faces from collateral posted by its
participants. Accordingly, the Commission believes that ICC's proposed
changes to Appendix 6 should help ICC to continue providing prompt and
accurate settlement of CDS transactions and to enhance ICC's ability to
safeguard securities and funds which are in its custody or control or
for which it is responsible.
    For these reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

B. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v)

    Rules 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v) require that ICC establish,
implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to provide for governance arrangements that are
clear and transparent and specify clear and direct lines of
responsibility.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, the proposed rule change would enhance the
governance arrangements for reviewing and approving the Treasury Policy
document generally, including clear governance arrangements for
reviewing and updating haircuts under the collateral asset risk
management framework in Appendix 6. Specifically, the proposed rule
change provides that the Treasury Policy document is subject to review
by the Risk Committee and review and approval by the Board at least
annually. Further, the proposed rule change would clarify and update
the current statement in Appendix 6 that collateral asset haircuts are
reviewed monthly, by specifying that the Risk Committee will establish
haircuts for the respective collateral asset types within measured
intervals, and review them at least monthly to determine the need for
updates. The proposed rule change would also clarify that the Risk
Committee may exercise discretion to review and update haircut values
more frequently, if it deems necessary, and may make incremental,
temporary adjustments to existing haircuts in response to specific
market conditions. The Commission therefore believes that these aspects
of the proposed rule change will maintain ICC's Treasury operations
policies and procedures in a manner reasonably designed to provide for
governance arrangements that are clear and transparent and specify
clear and direct lines of responsibility.
    For these reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Rules 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(e)(3)(i)

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(3)(i) requires, among other things, that ICC
establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to, as applicable, maintain a sound risk
management framework that identifies, measures, monitors, and manages
the range of risks that it faces.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(3)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described above, ICC's proposed changes to its collateral assets
risk framework in Appendix 6 would refine and update certain risk
measures and risk factors for determining collateral asset haircuts
that can be accepted from an ICC clearing participant. The proposed
changes would also require the Risk Department to review and update
haircut values at least monthly, or more frequently as it deems
necessary, and to incrementally update such haircuts during periods of
extreme market stress. The Commission believes that these updated
collateral asset risk management procedures should allow ICC to
continue to mitigate collateral price and liquidation risk through
setting acceptable haircuts and providing governance guidelines for
monitoring haircut values and managing any deviations or related
issues, thereby continuing to maintain a sound risk management
framework in this regard.
    For these reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(3)(i).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(3)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Consistency With Rule 17Ad-22(e)(5)

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(5) requires that ICC establish, implement, maintain
and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to, as
applicable, limit the assets it accepts as collateral to those with low
credit, liquidity, and market risks, and set and enforce appropriately
conservative haircuts and concentration limits if the covered clearing
agency requires collateral to manage its or its participants' credit
exposure; and require a review of the sufficiency of its collateral
haircuts and concentration limits to be performed not less than
annually.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed changes in Appendix 6
regarding the factors and other considerations with respect to
acceptable collateral asset haircuts should continue to maintain ICC's
ability to limit the assets it accepts as collateral to those with low
credit, liquidity, and market risks, and to set and enforce
appropriately conservative haircuts for sovereign debt and other
acceptable collateral assets. Further, the proposed updates to the
governance arrangements for the risk management framework of collateral
assets haircuts in Appendix 6 would ensure that the Risk Department
establishes haircuts for the respective collateral asset types

within measured intervals, and continues to review haircuts at least
monthly, subject to regular reviews and more frequent valuation
updates, if needed.
    For these reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(5).\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 \16\ and Rules 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v), (e)(3)(i), and (e)(5)
thereunder.\17\

			  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

		        DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

			  OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

			          WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation on May 21, 2004

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 2004-17952

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  VOLGA-DNEPR J.S. CARGO AIRLINE
                            Date Filed:  May 21, 2004

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) to permit
the applicant to operate two, one-way cargo charter flights, using its
AN-124-100 aircraft, carrying helicopters on behalf of the Department of
Defense, during the period May 23-27, 2004.  Each flight will be from
Pope AFB, North Carolina, to Victorville, California.   The applicant
stated that the Department of Defense urgently needs lift in order to
meet a tight schedule of positioning the helicopters for military
exercises, that the cargo is too large for transportation on
U.S.-carrier aircraft; and that surface transportation is not feasible
because of the cargo’s large size and urgent need for delivery.

Applicant representative:  Glenn P. Wicks,<PHONE_NUMBER>         DOT
analyst:  Allen F. Brown,<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  Volga-Dnepr served its application on those U.S.
carriers operating large all-cargo aircraft.  Each carrier indicated
that it did not have aircraft available to conduct the proposed
operation and that it had no comment or did not oppose grant of the
requested authority.

Statutory Standards:  Under 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g), we may authorize
a foreign air carrier to carry commercial traffic between U.S. points
(i.e., cabotage traffic) under limited circumstances.  Specifically, we
must find that the authority is required in the public interest; that
because of an emergency created by unusual circumstances not arising in
the normal course of business the traffic cannot be accommodated by U.S.
carriers holding certificates under 49 U.S.C. section 41102; that all
possible efforts have been made to place the traffic on U.S. carriers;
and that the transportation is necessary to avoid unreasonable hardship
to the traffic involved (an additional required finding, concerning
emergency transportation during labor disputes, was not relevant here).

        DISPOSITION

Action: Approved
                                             Action date:  May 21, 2004

Effective dates of authority granted:  May 21, 2004, through May 27,
2004

Basis for approval:  We are granting Volga-Dnepr’s request to operate
its proposed two, one-way flights from Pope Air Force Base to
Victorville, through May 27, 2004.  We found that its request met all
the relevant criteria of 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) for the grant of an
exemption of this type and that the grant was required in the public
interest.  Specifically, we were persuaded that the urgent need to move
the helicopters promptly to meet an urgent exercise schedule, the fact
that the cargo could not be transported by surface transportation
because of its large size and the potential negative impact of delivery
delay; and the unique, outsized nature of the cargo, constituted an
emergency not arising in the normal course of business.  Moreover, based
on the representations of the U.S. carriers, we concluded that no U.S.
carrier had aircraft available that could be used to conduct the
operations at issue here.  We also found that grant of this authority
would prevent unreasonable hardship to the Department of Defense.
Finally, we found that the applicant was qualified to perform its
proposed operation.

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to our
standard exemption conditions and to the condition that the applicant
must comply with an FAA-approved flight routing for the authorized
operation.

Action taken by:        Karan K. Bhatia

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2010-0177]

Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Exemption
Renewal for the Flatbed Carrier Safety Group

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemption; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA renews the Flatbed Carrier Safety Group's (FCSG)
exemption which allows the securement of metal coils on a flatbed
vehicle, in a sided vehicle, or in an intermodal container loaded with
eyes crosswise, grouped in rows, in which the coils are loaded to
contact each other in the longitudinal direction. Motor carriers may
continue to use the pre-January 1, 2004, cargo securement regulations
for the transportation of groups of metal coils with eyes crosswise, as
this loading configuration is not currently covered under the Agency's
commodity-specific rules for securing metal coils in 49 CFR 393.120.
The Agency has concluded that granting this exemption renewal will
maintain a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the
level of safety achieved without the exemption. However, the Agency
requests comments on this issue, especially from anyone who believes
this standard will not be maintained.

DATES:  This decision is effective June 4, 2015. Comments must be
received on or before July 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b)(1), FMCSA may renew an
exemption from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a two-
year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would
be achieved absent such exemption.'' FCSG has requested a two-year
extension for the exemption from 49 CFR 393.120 to allow motor carriers
to comply with the pre-January 1, 2004, cargo securement regulations
(then at 49 CFR 393.100(c)) for the transportation of groups of metal
coils with eyes crosswise. The procedures for requesting an exemption
(including renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Basis for Renewing Exemption

    FCSG applied for an exemption from 49 CFR 393.120 in 2010 to allow
motor carriers to comply with the pre-January 1, 2004, cargo securement
regulations for the transportation of groups of metal coils with eyes
crosswise. On April 14, 2011, FMCSA published a notice of final
disposition in the Federal Register granting the exemption (76 FR
20867). On June 11, 2013, FMCSA published a notice of final disposition
renewing this exemption until April 13, 2015 (78 FR 35087). The renewal
outlined in this notice extends the exemption through April 13, 2017,
and requests public comment.
    FMCSA is not aware of any evidence showing that compliance with the
pre-January 1, 2004, cargo securement regulations for the
transportation of groups of metal coils with eyes crosswise, in
accordance with the conditions of the original exemption,

has resulted in any degradation in safety. The Agency believes that
extending the exemption for a period of two years will likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety achieved without the exemption because the metal coils are
grouped and secured together in the longitudinal direction, i.e.,
``unitized,'' with the cargo securement system meeting all of the
aggregate working load limit requirements of 49 CFR 393.106(d).
    The exemption is renewed subject to the following requirements,
provided motor carriers using the exemption continue to meet the
aggregate working load limits of 49 CFR 393.106(d).
    Coils with eyes crosswise: If coils are loaded to contact each
other in the longitudinal direction, and relative motion between coils,
and between coils and the vehicle, is prevented by tiedown assemblies
and timbers:
    (1) Only the foremost and rearmost coils must be secured with
timbers having a nominal cross section of 4 x 4 inches or more and a
length which is at least 75 percent of the width of the coil or row of
coils, tightly placed against both the front and rear sides of the row
of coils and restrained to prevent movement of the coils in the forward
and rearward directions; and
    (2) The first and last coils in a row of coils must be secured with
a tiedown assembly restricting against forward and rearward motion,
respectively. Each additional coil in the row of coils must be secured
to the trailer using a tiedown assembly.
    The exemption will be valid for two years unless rescinded earlier
by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) Motor carriers and/or
commercial motor vehicles fail to comply with the terms and conditions
of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of
safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation
of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives
of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA requests comments from parties with data concerning the
safety record of motor carriers transporting groups of metal coils with
eyes crosswise, in accordance with the conditions of the original
exemption, by July 6, 2015. The Agency will evaluate any adverse
evidence submitted and, if safety is being compromised or if
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b)(1), FMCSA will take
immediate steps to revoke the FCSG exemption.

    Issued on: May 21, 2015.
