II. Self-Regulatory Organizations
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
CME 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. CME has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.3
with discharging its responsibilities as a
derivatives clearing organization and
clearing agency. Because these changes
will enhance CME’s ability to manage
its risks they are also designed to protect
investors and the public interest and
will help further safeguard customer
funds held at the FCM level.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
CME is proposing to issue an
Advisory Notice that announces certain
changes to the way CME will value
securities on deposit. Under the
proposed changes, CME will begin using
the current market value, plus accrued
interest, to value securities on deposit.
CME currently excludes accrued interest
from the value of securities on deposit.
Therefore, with this adjustment, accrued
interest will now be included in the
market value of the security. The
purpose of the adjustment is to
harmonize valuations with existing
industry conventions. CME intends to
implement these changes beginning on
December 3, 2012, subject to securing
required regulatory approvals.
The proposed changes that will take
effect are described in the CME
Advisory Notice, available on the CME’s
Web site at https://www.cmegroup.com,
at the principal office of CME, and at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room;
additions are underlined and deletions
are bracketed. CME will also make a
filing with its primary regulator, the
CFTC, with respect to the proposed
changes.
CME believes the proposed changes
are consistent with the requirements of
the Exchange Act. The proposed rules
are designed to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of
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. These changes
would use the current market value,
plus accrued interest, for securities on
deposit at CME, which will better align
CME’s practices with the marketplace
and expectations of its participants. The
changes will therefore enhance CME’s
ability to manage the risks associated
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
3 The Commission has modified the text of the
summaries prepared by CME.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CME does not believe that the
proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on
competition.
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. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Within 45 days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register or within such longer period
up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which
the self-regulatory organization
consents, the Commission will:
(A) by order approve or disapprove
the proposed rule change or
(B) institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule change
should be disapproved.
