CME has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.5 5 The Commission has modified the text of the summaries prepared by CME. VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:02 Apr 05, 2013 Jkt 229001 A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization with the CFTC and operates a substantial business clearing futures and swaps contracts subject to the jurisdiction of the CFTC. CME proposes to make certain clarifying amendments to CME Rule 980 relating to clearing member records and reports. Current CME Rule 980.B requires each CME clearing member to maintain adequate books and records in accordance CFTC Regulation 1.16(d)(2). The Rule further identifies specific requirements in sub-clauses 980.B.1 (preparation and maintenance of complete and accurate reconciliations for all accounts) and 980.B.2 (resolution of reconciling items in a timely manner) which are requirements of CME. In order to clarify the requirements of CME Rule 980, CME is proposing to amend CME Rule 980.B to provide for a separate clause requiring compliance with CFTC Regulation 1.16(d)(2) as a new sub-clause 980.B.3. As such, the change constitutes a stated policy, practice, or interpretation with respect to the meaning, administration, or enforcement of an existing rule. The rule change is therefore properly filed under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(1) thereunder. CME believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and, in particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, which requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to protect investors and the public interest.

(See 19 U.S.C. 3203 (b)(6)(B).) This information will be used in the preparation of a report to the Congress on the operation of the program.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bennett Harman, Deputy Assistant USTR for Latin America, at (202) 395– 9446. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ATPA, as amended by the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act of 2002 (ATPDEA) in the Trade Act of 2002, 19 U.S.C. 3201 et seq., provides trade benefits for eligible Andean countries. The original ATPA allowed Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru to be considered as beneficiary countries if they met eligibility requirements laid out in 19 U.S.C. 3203 (b)(6)(B). In Proclamation 8323 of November 25, 2008, the President determined that Bolivia no longer satisfied the eligibility criteria related to counternarcotics and suspended Bolivia’s status as a beneficiary country for purposes of the ATPA and ATPDEA. In a June 30, 2009 report to Congress the President did not determine that Bolivia satisfied the requirements set forth in section 203(c) of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202(c)) for being designated as a beneficiary country. Therefore, as provided for in section 208(a)(3) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 3206(a)(3)), no duty free treatment or other preferential treatment extended under the ATPA remained in effect with respect to Bolivia after June 30, 2009. Section 201 of the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–344), which reauthorized the ATPDEA, terminated any duty free treatment or other preferential treatment available under ATPDEA to Peru, effective December 31, 2010. The United States and Peru have entered into a bilateral free trade agreement. Colombia was no longer an eligible beneficiary country under the ATPA as of May 15, 2012, when the U.S.Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement entered into force (19 U.S.C. 3805 Note). Unless renewed by Congress, the ATPA will expire on July 31, 2013. Additional Information: Section 203(f) of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202(f)) requires the USTR, not later than June 30, 2013, to submit to Congress a report on the operation of the ATPA. Before submitting such report, USTR is required to request comments on whether beneficiary countries are meeting the criteria set forth in 19 U.S.C. 3203 (b)(6)(B) (which incorporates by reference the criteria set forth in sections 3202 (c) and (d)). USTR refers interested parties to the Federal Register notice published on August 15, 2002 (67 FR 53379), for a full list of the eligibility criteria.

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 of and basis for the proposed rule change and 
discussed any comments it received on the 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries 
prepared by CME.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    CME is registered as a derivatives clearing organization with the 
CFTC and operates a substantial business clearing futures and swaps 
contracts subject to the jurisdiction of the CFTC. CME proposes to make 
certain clarifying amendments to CME Rule 980 relating to clearing 
member records and reports. Current CME Rule 980.B requires each CME 
clearing member to maintain adequate books and records in accordance 
CFTC Regulation 1.16(d)(2). The Rule further identifies specific 
requirements in sub-clauses 980.B.1 (preparation and maintenance of 
complete and accurate reconciliations for all accounts) and 980.B.2 
(resolution of reconciling items in a timely manner) which are 
requirements of CME. In order to clarify the requirements of CME Rule 
980, CME is proposing to amend CME Rule 980.B to provide for a separate 
clause requiring compliance with CFTC Regulation 1.16(d)(2) as a new 
sub-clause 980.B.3. As such, the change constitutes a stated policy, 
practice, or interpretation with respect to the meaning, 
administration, or enforcement of an existing rule. The rule change is 
therefore properly filed under Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 
19b-4(f)(1) thereunder.
    CME believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and, 
in particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, which requires, among 
other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to 
protect investors and the public interest. The proposed rule change is 
designed to clarify clearing members' obligations under CME Rule 980 
with respect to maintaining an adequate accounting system, internal 
accounting controls, and procedures for safeguarding customer and firm 
assets. Specifically, the proposed rule change clarifies that these 
obligations include the preparation and maintenance of complete and 
accurate reconciliations for all accounts, the resolution of 
reconciling items in a timely manner, and prevention of a material 
inadequacy as defined in CFTC Regulation 1.16(d)(2). This rule change 
is being made to enhance CME's efforts to protect investors who utilize 
its clearinghouse services through its clearing members.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    CME does not believe that the 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 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 rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 
19(b)(3)(A) \6\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \7\ thereunder because 
it constitutes a stated policy, practice, or interpretation with 
respect to the meaning, administration, or enforcement of an existing 
rule. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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.\8\
