Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 214 / Friday, November 5, 2010 / Notices and is determined by approximating the change in margin requirement caused by depositing or withdrawing a particular security from the Clearing Member’s account based on the risk characteristics of that security and its consequent assessed value. OCC believes this process will provide a more accurate projection of the margin impact of collateral withdrawals and substitutions on a Clearing Member’s account. This process is already used to analyze the impact of substitutions and withdrawals of equity collateral within the STANS Monte Carlo simulations.7 OCC’s Rule 601, ‘‘Margin Requirements,’’ already provides that margin assets in the form of securities may be incorporated into the Monte Carlo calculations as an alternative to valuing such assets under Rule 604, ‘‘Form of Margin Assets.’’ In connection with incorporating common stocks and ETFs into the STANS calculation, OCC adopted Interpretation and Policy .06 under Rule 601 to clarify that margin assets in the form of common stocks and ETFs would be included in the Monte Carlo simulations described in Rule 601 for purposes of determining the minimum expected liquidating value of an account with other margin assets being valued as provided for under Rule 604.8 OCC is now broadening the interpretation to provide that OCC may designate those margin assets which if deposited into a Clearing Member’s account will be valued as provided in Rule 601 rather than Rule 604. This change is intended to facilitate OCC’s adoption of certain government securities into the STANS margin calculation process. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES III. Discussion Section 17A(b)(3)(F) 9 requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency are designed to safeguard securities and funds in the clearing agency’s possession or control or for which it is responsible. This requires OCC to have the ability to meet its settlement obligations following a member’s default. It is therefore necessary that OCC have an effective methodology for calculating margin requirements that are sufficient to 7 OCC believes the approach currently used to assess the impact of collateral substitutions and withdrawals represents an improvement over that outlined in File No. SR–OCC–2007–20. Interpretation and Policy .01 under Rule 608 generally provides that OCC may specify procedures from time-to-time to assess the impact of collateral withdrawals and substitutions. 8 Rule 604(f) provides that, in lieu of the valuations provided for in Rule 604, OCC may elect to value any or all margin assets in the form of securities pursuant to Rule 601. 9 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F).

The Commission believes that the changes OCC is making to include government securities within the STANS risk management methodology should better enable OCC to fulfill its safeguarding obligations under the Act and therefore is consistent with the Act. IV. Conclusion On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 10 and the rules and regulations thereunder. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,11 that the proposed rule change (File No. SR– OCC–2010–14) be, and hereby is, approved.12 For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.13 Florence E.
