Description of the Proposal The purpose of proposed rule change is to provide for the clearance of the following twenty additional investment grade Standard North American Corporate Single Name CDS contracts: Nucor Corporation; V.F. Corporation; The Procter & Gamble Company; Encana Corporation; Weatherford International Ltd.; Chevron Corporation; Nexen Inc.; Energy Transfer Partners, L.P.; Apache Corporation; Kimco Realty Corporation; Prudential Financial, Inc.; Prologis, L.P.; HCP, Inc.; Lincoln National Corporation; The Travelers Companies, Inc.; Textron Financial Corporation; Textron Inc.; The Williams Companies, Inc.; Pacific Gas and Electric Company; and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (the ‘‘Additional Single Names’’). As with the Standard North American Corporate Single Names currently cleared, ICC plans to provide for the clearance of contracts with a restructuring type of no restructuring, standardized maturity dates up to the 10-year tenor and both standardized coupons. One of the Additional Single Names (Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.) was recently added by Markit as one of the one hundred twenty-five single constituents of its Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Series 18 Index, and is not currently being cleared by ICC. Another of the Additional Single Names (Textron Financial Corporation) is a constituent of the Series 8 through 12 of the Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index, and has not been cleared previously by ICC. All other Additional Single Names are not constituents of Series 8 through 18 of the Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index. The Additional Single Names do not require any changes to the body of the ICC Rules. ICC will clear the Additional Single Names pursuant to ICC’s existing Rules. The Additional Single Names do not require any changes to the ICC risk management framework including the ICC margin methodology, guaranty fund methodology, pricing parameters, or pricing model. The only change submitted was the inclusion of the Additional Single Names to Schedule 502 of the ICC Rules. The Additional Single Names were reviewed by the ICC Risk Department, the ICC Trading Advisory Committee, and the ICC Risk Committee. PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61649 III. Discussion Section 19(b)(2)(C) 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. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 4 requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions, and to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible. The proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) and other requirements of 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 5 and the rules and regulations thereunder. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,6 that the proposed rule change (File No. SR–ICC– 2012–12) be, and hereby is, approved.7 For the Commission by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.8 Kevin M.
