Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 17, 2013 / Notices
By providing OCC with sole
discretion for particular adjustment
decisions, the rule change helps to
ensure that decisions are consistent,
efficient and free from undue influence.
As a result, the rule change should help
to promote the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities
transactions as well as foster
cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in the clearance and
settlement of securities transactions
consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of
the Act.13 Furthermore, in addition to
ensuring consistency with Section
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,14 the
conforming and clarifying changes to
OCC’s By-Laws and Rules should help
ensure that OCC maintains a wellfounded, transparent and enforceable
legal framework as required by Rule
17Ad–22(d)(1).15
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 16 and the rules and regulations
thereunder.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,17 that the
proposed rule change (File No. SR–
OCC–2013–05) be and hereby is
approved.18
For the Commission by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.19

Secretary.
