Commission’s Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change In its filing, CME requested that the Commission approve this request on an accelerated basis, for good cause shown. CME has articulated three reasons for granting this request on an accelerated basis. One, the products covered by this filing, and CME’s operations as a derivatives clearing organization for such products, are regulated by the CFTC under the CEA. Two, the proposed rule changes relate solely to VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:04 Oct 31, 2011 Jkt 226001 interest rate swap clearing and therefore relate solely to its swaps clearing activities and do not significantly relate to CME’s functions as a clearing agency for security-based swaps. Three, not approving this request on an accelerated basis will have a significant impact on the swap clearing business of CME as a designated clearing organization. Section 19(b) of the Act 3 directs the Commission to approve a proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it finds that such proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to such organization. The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular the requirements of Section 17A of the Act,4 and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to CME. Specifically, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act which requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions because it should allow CME to enhance its services in clearing interest rate swaps, thereby promoting the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions.5 The Commission finds good cause for accelerating approval because: (i) The proposed rule change does not significantly affect any securities clearing operations of the clearing agency (whether in existence or contemplated by its rules) or any related rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons using such service; (ii) CME has indicated that not providing accelerated approval would have a significant impact on the swap clearing business of CME as a designated clearing organization; and (iii) the activity relating to the nonsecurity clearing operations of the clearing agency for which the clearing agency is seeking approval is subject to regulation by another regulator. V. Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) 6 of the Act, that the 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b). U.S.C. 78q–1. In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 5 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F). 6 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 4 15 PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 67517 proposed rule change (SR–CME–2011– 15) is approved on an accelerated basis.

Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements concerning the purpose 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. CME 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 CME proposes to implement a fee waiver program that will apply to OTC credit default swap index clearing at CME (the ‘‘Program’’). The Program will be a general fee waiver that would apply equally to all market participants, including CDS Clearing Members and their customers. The Program by its terms would become operative on October 31, 2011 and extend through December 31, 2011. In July 2011, CME lifted certain volume caps applicable to its OTC credit default swap index clearing business that were initially implemented in December, 2009. CME followed up with a launch of a broader set of credit default swap index products available for clearing in September, 2011. CME expects that the combination of its recently expanded breadth of products, the termination of the volume caps and the establishment of the Program will encourage customers to place more volume into the system to ensure readiness and help build open interest in credit default swap index products prior to implementation of the upcoming centralized clearing mandate. The proposed rule changes that are the subject of this filing are related to VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:04 Oct 31, 2011 Jkt 226001 fees and therefore will become effective immediately. However, the Program will become operative as of October 31, 2011. CME has also certified the proposed rule changes that are the subject of this filing to its primary regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’), and CME expects that those certified proposed rule changes will become effective on October 31, 2011. The text of the proposed rule amendments is in Section 1 of this notice, with additions italicized and deletions in brackets. The proposed CME rule amendments establish or change a member due, fee or other charge imposed by CME under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 19b– 4(f)(ii) thereunder. CME believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in particular, to 17A(b)(3)(iv),5 in that it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among participants. CME notes that it operates in a highly competitive market in which market participants can readily direct business to competing venues. CME further notes that the proposed change is non-discriminatory in that it is equally applicable to all market participants. B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition. C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any unsolicited written comments from interested parties. III.

The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The purpose of the proposed rule change is to expand the applicability of the fails charge to Agency debt securities transactions. srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, FICC 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. FICC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these statements.3 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 The Commission has modified the text of the summaries prepared by FICC. (A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change The Treasury Markets Practices Group (the ‘‘TMPG’’), a group of market participants active in the Treasury securities market sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the ‘‘FRBNY’’), has been addressing the persistent settlement fails in Agency debt securities transactions that have arisen, in part, due to low interest rates. To encourage market participants to resolve fails promptly, the TMPG recommends expanding the applicability of the fails charge (which currently applies to Treasury securities transactions) to Agency debt with the objective of reducing the incidence of delivery failures and supporting liquidity in this market. The TMPG had previously recommended a charge for fails on Treasury securities, which the Government Securities Division (the ‘‘GSD’’) implemented pursuant to rule filing 2009–03.4 At that time, the TMPG recommendation did not extend to Agency securities and, therefore, the GSD’s 2009 rule filing did not cover Agency debt. However, the TMPG recently has expanded its recommendation to cover certain Agency securities and, therefore, the GSD is proposing to apply the existing fails charge regime to Agency debt transactions as recommended by the TMPG. Specifically, transactions in debentures issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks now will be subject to this charge. The proposed fails charge for Agencies will be the same as that currently in place for Treasuries and is equal to the greater of: (a) 0 percent and (b) 3 percent per annum minus the federal funds target rate. The charge will accrue each calendar day a fail is outstanding. The following examples illustrate the manner in which the proposed fails charge will apply: Example 1: A settlement obligation fails and the next calendar date is a valid FICC business date. The GSD calculates the TMPG fail charge from the date the fail occurs to the next valid FICC business date. As the next valid business date is the next calendar date, the member’s credit/debit resulting from the TMPG fail charge is assessed for one day. Example 2: A settlement obligation fails and the next calendar date is a holiday occurring on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. The GSD calculates the TMPG fail charge from the date the fail occurs to the 1 15 2 17 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:04 Oct 31, 2011 Jkt 226001 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34– 59802 (April 20, 2009), 74 FR 19248 (April 28, 2009). PO 00000 Frm 00118 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 67519 next valid FICC business date. The TMPG fail charge is assessed for two days; the day the fail occurs and the date of the holiday. Example 3: A settlement obligation fails on Friday and the following Monday is not a holiday. The GSD calculates the TMPG fail charge from the date the fail occurs to the next valid FICC business date. The TMPG fail charge is assessed for three days; Friday, Saturday and Sunday. FICC’s Board of Directors (or appropriate Committee thereof) will retain the right to revoke application of the proposed charges if industry events or practices warrant such revocation. The expansion of the fails charge trading practice to the Agency debt market would require that Rule 11 (Netting System), Section 14 (Fails Charge) of the GSD rulebook be amended to make such rule applicable to debentures issued by any of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Federal Home Loan Banks. The current GSD rule states that the fails charge shall be the product of the (i) Funds associated with a failed position and (ii) 3 percent per annum minus the target fed funds rate that is effective at 5 p.m. EST on the business day prior to the originally scheduled settlement date, capped at 3 percent per annum. FICC is proposing to restate the formula to make it clearer by amending section (ii) of the formula to read ‘‘the greater of (a) 0 percent or (b) 3 percent per annum minus the target fed funds rate * * *.’’ This change is not meant to affect the result of the formula in any way but rather is a more precise way of stating the formula. The proposed rule change makes clear that FICC will not guaranty fails charge proceeds in the event of a default (i.e., if a defaulting member does not pay its fail charge, members due to receive fails charge proceeds will have those proceeds reduced pro-rata by the defaulting member’s unpaid amount). Timing of Implementation The fails charges will apply to transactions in Agency debentures entered into on or after February 1, 2012, as well as to transactions that were entered into, but remain unsettled as of, February 1, 2012. For transactions entered into prior to, and unsettled as of, February 1, 2012, the fails charge will begin accruing on the later of February 1, 2012, or the contractual settlement date. FICC believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 5 and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to FICC because it would facilitate the prompt and 5 15 E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM U.S.C. 78q–1. 01NON1

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of Purpose of, and 
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, CME included statements 
concerning the purpose 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. CME 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

    CME proposes to implement a fee waiver program that will apply to 
OTC credit default swap index clearing at CME (the ``Program''). The 
Program will be a general fee waiver that would apply equally to all 
market participants, including CDS Clearing Members and their 
customers. The Program by its terms would become operative on October 
31, 2011 and extend through December 31, 2011.
    In July 2011, CME lifted certain volume caps applicable to its OTC 
credit default swap index clearing business that were initially 
implemented in December, 2009. CME followed up with a launch of a 
broader set of credit default swap index products available for 
clearing in September, 2011. CME expects that the combination of its 
recently expanded breadth of products, the termination of the volume 
caps and the establishment of the Program will encourage customers to 
place more volume into the system to ensure readiness and help build 
open interest in credit default swap index products prior to 
implementation of the upcoming centralized clearing mandate.
    The proposed rule changes that are the subject of this filing are 
related to fees and therefore will become effective immediately. 
However, the Program will become operative as of October 31, 2011. CME 
has also certified the proposed rule changes that are the subject of 
this filing to its primary regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading 
Commission (``CFTC''), and CME expects that those certified proposed 
rule changes will become effective on October 31, 2011. The text of the 
proposed rule amendments is in Section 1 of this notice, with additions 
italicized and deletions in brackets.
    The proposed CME rule amendments establish or change a member due, 
fee or other charge imposed by CME under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 19b-4(f)(ii) thereunder. CME 
believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and 
regulations thereunder and, in particular, to 17A(b)(3)(iv),\5\ in that 
it provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and 
other charges among participants. CME notes that it operates in a 
highly competitive market in which market participants can readily 
direct business to competing venues. CME further notes that the 
proposed change is non-discriminatory in that it is equally applicable 
to all market participants.
