business needs or emergency situations
require.
OCC believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the
requirements of Section 17A of the Act 3
and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to OCC because
(i) the primary change would provide
for a more efficient means for clearing
members and banks to process deposits
and releases of securities used as margin
deposits or clearing fund contributions
and (ii) the remaining changes would
clarify provisions of OCC’s rules,
conform the rules to OCC’s current
practices, or provide OCC with greater
flexibility to establish time periods with
regards to withdrawals of margin and
delivery and withdrawal of depository
receipts. The rule change is not
inconsistent with the existing rules of
OCC, including any other rules
proposed to be amended.
(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
OCC does not believe that the
proposed rule change will have an
impact or impose any burden on
competition.
(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were not and are
not intended to be solicited with respect
to the proposed rules change, and none
have been received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective upon filing pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 4 and Rule 19b–
4(f) 5 thereunder because the proposed
rule does not significantly affect the
respective rights or obligations of the
clearing agency or persons using the
service and does not adversely affect the
safeguarding of securities or funds in
the custody or control of OCC or for
which it is responsible. The rule change
will be implemented on the availability
of the related systems changes to
ENCORE, OCC’s clearing system, which
are scheduled for implementation on
April 4, 2005. At any time within sixty
days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily
abrogate the rule change if it appears to
the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
