Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 213 / Friday, November 2, 2012 / Notices
Nasdaq or its affiliates for losses that
relate to the Facebook IPO Cross, raise
questions about whether the
accommodation proposal would
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, protect investors and the public
interest, and not be designed to permit
unfair discrimination between market
participants.85
Accordingly, in light of the concerns
raised by commenters, the Commission
believes that questions are raised as to
whether Nasdaq’s accommodation
proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act, including whether the
accommodation proposal would
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, protect investors and the public
interest, and not be designed to permit
unfair discrimination between
customers, issuers, brokers, or dealers.
V. Procedure: Request for Written
Comments
The Commission requests that
interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data, and
arguments with respect to the concerns
identified above, as well as any other
concerns they may have with the
accommodation proposal. In particular,
the Commission invites the written
views of interested persons concerning
whether the accommodation proposal is
consistent with Section 6(b)(5) 86 or any
other provision of the Act, or the rules
and regulations thereunder. Although
there do not appear to be any issues
relevant to approval or disapproval
which would be facilitated by an oral
presentation of views, data, and
arguments, the Commission will
consider, pursuant to Rule 19b–4, any
request for an opportunity to make an
oral presentation.87
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments regarding whether the
accommodation proposal should be
approved or disapproved by November
23, 2012. Any person who wishes to file
a rebuttal to any other person’s
85 See
supra Sections III.A.–C.
U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
87 Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the
Securities Acts Amendments of 1975, Public Law
94–29 (June 4, 1975), grants the Commission
flexibility to determine what type of proceeding—
either oral or notice and opportunity for written
comments—is appropriate for consideration of a
particular proposal by a self-regulatory
organization. See Securities Act Amendments of
1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban
Affairs, S. Reps. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
CME offers clearing services for
certain credit default swap index
products. Currently, CME offers clearing
of the Markit CDX North American
Investment Grade Index Series 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 and also
offers clearing of the Markit CDX North
E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 213 / Friday, November 2, 2012 / Notices
American High Yield Index Series 11,
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.
The proposed rule changes would
expand CME’s Markit CDX North
American Investment Grade (‘‘CDX IG’’)
Index product offerings by adding Series
8 to the current product set.
The proposed rule changes are
immediately effective upon filing but
will become operational on October 15,
2012. CME notes that it will also certify
the proposed rule changes that are the
subject of this filing to its primary
regulator, the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (‘‘CFTC’’). The text
of the CME proposed rule amendments
is included above, with additions
italicized and deletions in brackets.
The proposed CME rule amendments
merely incorporate one additional series
to CME’s existing offering of broadbased Markit CDX North American
Investment Grade credit default swaps.
As such, the proposed amendments
simply effect changes to an existing
service of a registered clearing agency
that (1) do not adversely affect the
safeguarding of securities or funds in
the custody or control of the clearing
agency or for which it is responsible and
(2) do not significantly affect the
respective rights or obligations of the
clearing agency or persons using its
clearing agency services. Therefore, the
proposed rule change is properly filed
under Section 19(b)(3)(A) and Rule 19b–
4(f)(4)(i) thereunder.
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.
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change
has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 5 of the
Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(4)(i) 6 thereunder
because it effects a change in an existing
service of a registered clearing agency
that (1) does not adversely affect the

(2) does not significantly affect the

clearing agency or persons using the

the filing of the proposed rule change,
the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
CME offers clearing services for certain credit default swap index

adding Series 8 to the current product set.
The proposed rule changes are immediately effective upon filing but
will become operational on October 15, 2012. CME notes that it will
also certify the proposed rule changes that are the subject of this
filing to its primary regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (``CFTC''). The text of the CME proposed rule amendments is
included above, with additions italicized and deletions in brackets.
The proposed CME rule amendments merely incorporate one additional
series to CME's existing offering of broad-based Markit CDX North
American Investment Grade credit default swaps. As such, the proposed
amendments simply effect changes to an existing service of a registered
clearing agency that (1) do not adversely affect the safeguarding of
securities or funds in the custody or control of the clearing agency or
for which it is responsible and (2) do not significantly affect the
respective rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons
using its clearing agency services. Therefore, the proposed rule change
is properly filed under Section 19(b)(3)(A) and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(i)
thereunder.
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.
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. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) \5\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(i)
\6\ thereunder because it effects a change in an existing service of a
registered clearing agency that (1) does not adversely affect the
safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or control of the
clearing agency or for which it is responsible and (2) does not
significantly affect the respective rights or obligations of the
clearing agency or persons using the service. At any time within 60
days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission
summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
