Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 35 / Thursday, February 21, 2013 / Notices
point of execution time to evaluate each
trade and have adequate time to notify
the Exchange of a potential error.
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule changes that address the
handling of Complex Orders involved in
obvious errors are also consistent with
Section 6(b) of the Act, in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),
in particular, in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest. Detailing how Complex
Orders involved in obvious errors will
be busted and/or adjusted is important
since it grants investors greater
certainty. Preventing a market
participant from busting trades solely
the result of a leg(s) of a Complex Order
executing in a no-bid series furthers the
protection of investors and the public
interest by preventing potential abuse.
In the Exchange’s view, the
determination of whether an ‘‘obvious
error’’ has occurred should be based on
specific and objective criteria and
subject to specific and objective
procedures. The Exchange believes that
the proposed rule change provides such
objective guidelines for the
determination of whether an obvious
price error has occurred.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. To the
contrary, the proposal further promotes
competition on the Exchange which
should lead to tighter, more efficient
markets to the benefit of market
participants including public investors
that engage in trading and hedging on
the Exchange, and thereby make the
Exchange a desirable market vis a vis
other options exchanges.

Proposed Rule Change To Update
Chapter 26 and Remove Schedule 502

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on January
31, 2013, ICE Clear Credit LLC (‘‘ICC’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change as described in

additional single-name constituents of
the Emerging Markets Index, and High

Eligible CDX.NA Untranched Index
(Rule 26A–102), Eligible SNAC
Reference Entities (Rule 26B–102),
Eligible SNAC Reference Obligations
(Rule 26B–102), Eligible CDX.EM
Untranched Index (Rule 26C–102),
Eligible SES Reference Entities (Rule
26D–102) and Eligible SES Reference
Obligations (Rule 26D–102) to include

its rules to update the definitions of List
of Eligible CDX.NA Untranched Indexes
(Rule 26A–102), List of Eligible SNAC
Reference Entities (Rule 26B–102), List
of Eligible CDX.EM Untranched Indexes
(Rule 26C–102) and List of Eligible SES
Reference Entities (Rule 26D–102) to
include the reference that the Approved
Products List will be maintained,
updated and published on the ICC Web
site.
ICC proposes to amend Chapter 26 of
its rules to add the definition of Eligible
SNAC Sector in Rule 26B–102 of the
ICC Rules. The listed Eligible SNAC
Sectors are: Basic Materials, Consumer
Goods, Consumer Services, Energy,
Financials, Healthcare, Industrials,
Technology, Telecommunications

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, ICC
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. ICC has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of these statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
The proposed changes to the ICC
Rules will provide direct reference
within the ICC Rules to the cleared
products list available on the ICC Web
site and add additional standards for
certain ICC cleared products. The
proposed rule changes do not require
any changes to the ICC risk management
framework including the ICC margin
methodology, guaranty fund
methodology, pricing parameters and
pricing model.
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 3
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. ICC believes
that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to ICC, in
particular, Section 17(A)(b)(3)(F),4
because ICC believes that providing
direct reference within the ICC Rules to
the Approved Products List available on
the ICC Web site and adding additional
standards for certain ICC cleared
products will facilitate the prompt and
accurate settlement of swaps and
contribute to the safeguarding of
securities and funds associated with
swap transactions which are in the
custody or control of ICC or for which
it is responsible. ICC is updating
Chapters 5 and 26 and Schedule 502 of
the ICC Rules to provide direct reference
to the Approved Products List available
on the ICC Web site and to add
additional standards for certain ICC
cleared products in order to assure
Clearing Participants are informed of the
ICC approved products.

On December 10, 2012, Chicago
Mercantile Exchange Inc. (‘‘CME’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to make adjustments to the
liquidity risk factor component of its
VerDate Mar<15>2010
credit default swap (‘‘CDS’’) margin
model. CME proposes to use an index
portfolio’s market risk rather than its
gross notional as the basis for
determining the margins associated with
the liquidity risk factor component. The
proposed rule change was published for
comment in the Federal Register on
December 31, 2012.3 The Commission
did not receive comments on the
proposal.
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides
that within 45 days of the publication of
notice of the filing of a proposed rule
change, or within such longer period up
to 90 days as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or as to which the
self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission shall either approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the
proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule change should be
disapproved. The 45th day from the
publication of notice of filing of this
proposed rule change is February 14,
2013. The Commission is extending this
45-day time period.
The Commission finds it is
appropriate to designate a longer period
within which to take action on the
proposed rule change so that it has
sufficient time to consider the proposed
rule change, which would implement a
significant change to CME’s CDS margin
methodology.
Accordingly, the Commission,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5
designates March 31, 2013, as the date
by which the Commission should either
approve or disapprove, or institute
proceedings to determine whether to
disapprove, the proposed rule change
(File No. SR–CME–2012–34).

Vitaminspice Inc.; Order of Suspension
of Trading
February 19, 2013.
It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that there is a
lack of current and accurate information
concerning the securities of
VitaminSpice Inc. (‘‘VitaminSpice’’)
because of questions regarding the
adequacy of current financial
information available about
VitaminSpice; and the accuracy of
assertions by VitaminSpice, and by
others, in press releases to investors, in
periodic financial filings and in internet
promotions concerning, among other
things, the company’s revenues and
operations.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
investors require a suspension of trading
in the securities of the above-listed
company.
Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, that trading in the
securities of the above-listed company is
suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m.
EST, on February 19, 2013 through

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 update Chapter 26
(Cleared CDS Products) of the ICC Rules and remove Schedule 502 (List
of Pre-Approved Products) from the ICC Rules. The proposed rule change
also includes a conforming edit within Chapter 5 (Risk Committee) of
the ICC Rules. This update will provide direct reference within the ICC
Rules to the cleared products list always available on the ICC Web site
(``Approved Products List'') and add additional standards for certain
ICC cleared products. ICC notes that rule submissions for updates to
ICC's cleared product offering will be required under certain
circumstances (e.g., certain financial single names, additional single-
name constituents of the Emerging Markets Index, and High Yield single
names).
[[Page 12126]]
ICC proposes to amend Chapter 26 of its rules to update the
definitions of Eligible CDX.NA Untranched Index (Rule 26A-102),
Eligible SNAC Reference Entities (Rule 26B-102), Eligible SNAC
Reference Obligations (Rule 26B-102), Eligible CDX.EM Untranched Index
(Rule 26C-102), Eligible SES Reference Entities (Rule 26D-102) and
Eligible SES Reference Obligations (Rule 26D-102) to include the
requirement that the products must be determined by ICC to be eligible.
ICC proposes to amend Chapter 26 of its rules to update the
definitions of List of Eligible CDX.NA Untranched Indexes (Rule 26A-
102), List of Eligible SNAC Reference Entities (Rule 26B-102), List of
Eligible CDX.EM Untranched Indexes (Rule 26C-102) and List of Eligible
SES Reference Entities (Rule 26D-102) to include the reference that the
Approved Products List will be maintained, updated and published on the
ICC Web site.
ICC proposes to amend Chapter 26 of its rules to add the definition
of Eligible SNAC Sector in Rule 26B-102 of the ICC Rules. The listed
Eligible SNAC Sectors are: Basic Materials, Consumer Goods, Consumer
Services, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Technology,
Telecommunications Services, and Utilities. The requirement to list the
Eligible SNAC Sector on the List of Eligible SNAC Reference Entities is
also added to the definition of List of Eligible SNAC Reference
Entities in Rule 26B-102.
ICC proposes to amend Chapter 26 of its rules to include within the
definition of List of Eligible SES Reference Entities in Rule 26D-102
the requirement to list the Sector, Government, in the List of Eligible
SES Reference Entities.
ICC proposes to remove Schedule 502 from the ICC Rules as Schedule
502 provides information available in the Approved Products List on the
ICC Web site. The Approved Products List provides the information
currently available in Schedule 502 as well as all additional product
information listed in the definitions of List of Eligible CDX.NA
Untranched Indexes (Rule 26A-102), List of Eligible SNAC Reference
Entities (Rule 26B-102), List of Eligible CDX.EM Untranched Indexes
(Rule 26C-102) and List of Eligible SES Reference Entities (Rule 26D-
102).
ICC proposes to make one conforming amendment to Chapter 5 of its
rules, specifically Rule 502(a), to change a reference to Schedule 502
of the ICC Rules to reference the Approved Products List on the ICC Web
site.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, ICC 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. ICC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of these statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
The proposed changes to the ICC Rules will provide direct reference
within the ICC Rules to the cleared products list available on the ICC
Web site and add additional standards for certain ICC cleared products.
The proposed rule changes do not require any changes to the ICC risk
management framework including the ICC margin methodology, guaranty
fund methodology, pricing parameters and pricing model.
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \3\ 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. ICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to ICC, in particular, Section 17(A)(b)(3)(F),\4\
because ICC believes that providing direct reference within the ICC
Rules to the Approved Products List available on the ICC Web site and
adding additional standards for certain ICC cleared products will
facilitate the prompt and accurate settlement of swaps and contribute
to the safeguarding of securities and funds associated with swap
transactions which are in the custody or control of ICC or for which it
is responsible. ICC is updating Chapters 5 and 26 and Schedule 502 of
the ICC Rules to provide direct reference to the Approved Products List
available on the ICC Web site and to add additional standards for
certain ICC cleared products in order to assure Clearing Participants
are informed of the ICC approved products.
