The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. 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 adopt new rules that will provide the basis for ICC to clear additional credit default swap contracts. Specifically, ICC is proposing to amend Chapter 26 of its rules to add Section 26H to provide for the clearance of the MCDX Untranched Contracts (‘‘MCDX Contracts’’). MCDX Contracts are credit default swap (‘‘CDS’’) contracts that reference an index of municipal issuers. As discussed in more detail in Item II.A below, Section 26H (MCDX Untranched Contracts) provides for the definitions and certain specific contract terms for cleared MCDX Contracts. Conforming changes are also made to the definition of ‘‘CDS Restructuring Rules’’ in Chapter 20 (Credit Default Swaps) and to Rule 2101–02(a)(iii) (Role of the Regional CDS Committees) to clarify cross-references to the CDS Restructuring Rules set forth in Section 26E of the Rules. Section 26E (CDS Restructuring Rules) is modified to provide that it will not apply to MCDX Contracts (as such contracts are automatically triggered in the event of a restructuring credit event, as discussed below). 1 15 2 17 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14NON1.SGM U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
