Commission’s Findings and Order Granted Accelerated Approval of the Proposed Rule Change Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 16 requires the rules of a clearing agency to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds that are in the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible. The Commission believes the proposal is consistent with this requirement because money market fund shares are already an acceptable form of margin asset that may be deposited at OCC and are subject to OCC’s prudent controls. Moreover, the use of money market fund shares for cross-margining purposes should further diversify the portfolio of assets that may be deposited to collateralize crossmargin accounts thereby enhancing OCC’s ability to access financial instruments that are relatively liquid and stable in value. Accordingly, the proposed rule change should not affect OCC’s ability to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds in its custody or control or for which it is responsible. Pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act,17 OCC has requested the Commission to approve the proposed rule change prior to the thirtieth day after the date of publication of notice of the filing. The Commission finds good cause for approving because the new OCC/CME cross-margining program is based on and is substantially similar to other cross-margining programs that the Commission has approved and because such approval will allow OCC to implement the new program in late July pursuant to its implementation schedule.
