Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 244 / Wednesday, December 20, 2006 / Notices
The primary conforming changes are the
addition of procedures under which the
exercise settlement amount will be
established by an adjustment panel in
the event of the unavailability or
inaccuracy of the spot price and a
modification of normal expiration date
exercise procedures in situations in
which the adjustment panel delays the
fixing of the exercise settlement amount
beyond the last trading day for the
affected series.
The amendment also modified Rule
2302 of OCC’s Rules in connection with
a change in the expiration date exercise
procedures for Cash-Settled FCOs. As
originally filed, the rules for CashSettled FCOs provided for true
automatic exercise without the
opportunity for clearing members to
give non-exercise instructions. Phlx
subsequently informed OCC that CashSettled FCOs should be subject to the
same ‘‘exercise-by-exception’’
procedures that apply to many other
OCC-issued options. Under the
‘‘exercise-by-exception’’ procedures, a
Cash-Settled FCO will be deemed to be
exercised at expiration if the exercise
settlement value is at least $1.00 per
contract unless the clearing member
instructs OCC not to exercise it. OCC is
also adding an interpretation to Rule
2302 to note that the normal expiration
date exercise procedures do not apply in
circumstances in which the fixing of the
exercise settlement amount is delayed
beyond the last trading day before
expiration of cash-settled foreign
currency options.

III. Discussion
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.5 The purpose of the
proposed rule change is to amend OCC’s
By-Laws and Rules so that OCC may
clear and settle the new Cash-Settled
FCO product proposed to be listed and
traded on Phlx. Accordingly, the
proposed rule change should promote
the prompt and accurate clearance and
settlement of securities transactions.
OCC has requested that the
Commission approve the proposed rule
prior to the thirtieth day after
publication of the notice of the amended
filing. The Commission finds good
cause for approving the proposed rule
change prior to the thirtieth day after
the publication of notice because such
approval will allow OCC to give its
members sufficient notice of its
5 15
U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F).

clearance and settlement of Cash-Settled
FCOs before trading begins.
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 Section 17A of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder.6
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, that the
proposed rule change (File No. SR–
OCC–2006–10) be and hereby is
approved.
For the Commission by the Division of
Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated
authority.7
