I. Introduction On July 12, 2011, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (‘‘FICC’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change SR–FICC–2011– 05 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’).1 The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on July 29, 2011.2 The Commission received no comment letters. For the reasons discussed below, 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). Exchange Act Release No. 34–64955 (July 25, 2011), 76 FR 45638 (July 29, 2011). 2 Securities PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the Commission is granting approval of the proposed rule change. II. Description This rule change will make certain changes to its GCF Repo® 3 service in order to comply with the recommendations made by the Tri-Party Repo Infrastructure Reform Task Force (‘‘TPR’’), an industry group formed and sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.4 Because the GCF Repo service operates as a tri-party repo mechanism, FICC is incorporating changes to the GCF Repo service to align the service with the other TPR recommended changes for the overall tri-party repo market. FICC will initially implement the changes described herein in a pilot program (‘‘Pilot Program’’). FICC will run the Pilot Program for one year starting from the date of this Commission approval. If FICC wishes to extend the Pilot Program or to implement the changes in the Pilot Program permanently, FICC shall submit a proposed rule change filing to the Commission for that purpose. A. Background: Description of the GCF Repo Service and History (1) Creation of the GCF Repo Service The GCF Repo service allows GSD dealer members to trade general collateral repos 5 throughout the day without requiring intra-day, trade-fortrade settlement on a delivery-versuspayment (DVP) basis. The service allows the dealers to trade such general collateral repos, based on rate and term, throughout the day with inter-dealer broker netting members on a blind basis. Standardized, generic CUSIP numbers have been established exclusively for GCF Repo processing and are used to specify the acceptable type of underlying Fedwire book-entry eligible collateral, which includes Treasuries, 3 GCF Repo is a registered trademark of FICC/ DTCC. 4 The main purpose of the TPR is to develop recommendations to address the risk presented by tri-party repo transactions due to the current morning reversal or ‘‘unwind’’ process and to move to a process by which tri-party repo transactions are collateralized all day. Currently, tri-party repo transactions unwind in the morning between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. E.S.T. The GSD Schedule of GCF Timeframes provides that the unwind of GCF Repo transactions (both overnight and term) must be accomplished by 7:30 a.m. The TPR has mandated that the collateral used in tri-party repo and GCF Repo transactions be ‘‘locked up’’ until 3:30 p.m. E.S.T. This would serve to reduce the intraday exposure to the dealers that the clearing banks currently face with the start of daily unwind. 5 A general collateral repo is a repo in which the underlying securities collateral is nonspecific, general collateral whose identification is at the option of the seller. This is in contrast to a specific collateral repo. E:\FR\FM\02SEN1.SGM 02SEN1
