OCC filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 2 and Rule 19b–4(f)(4) thereunder 3 so that the proposal was effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The proposed rule change would accommodate the clearing and settling of a transaction type called a Price PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, OCC included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. OCC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change The purpose of this proposed rule change is to amend OCC’s By-Laws and Rules to accommodate the proposed introduction by ELX Futures L.P. (‘‘ELX’’), an electronic futures market that is designated as a contract market by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’), of a transaction type called a Price Differential Spread (‘‘Price Differential Spread’’) for purposes of effecting exchange transactions in futures contracts.4 A Price Differential Spread is a pair of transactions resulting from a type of order where the party placing the order seeks to simultaneously buy and sell futures contracts on the same underlying interest but with different contract months (each such transaction referred to herein as a ‘‘leg’’ of the Price Differential Spread), provided that the price at which contracts are bought in one leg less the price at which contracts are sold in the other leg (the ‘‘price differential’’) is no greater than the limit specified by such party (such limit referred to herein as the ‘‘maximum price differential’’). Price Differential Spreads are principally used to roll futures positions forward into futures with the same underlying interest but with a later delivery date. In such a transaction, the cost to the party rolling the positions forward is determined solely by the difference between the prices at which the two legs of the Price Differential Spread are executed. The price of either leg alone is not relevant. As discussed below, by allowing a Clearing Member to use contract prices that are based on the previous day’s exchange-reported closing price, the actual price differential is highlighted and allocation of equivalent transactions 1 15 2 15 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4 OCC understands that similar transactions are used by at least one other futures exchange.
