period for which some companies
receive services, which may have the
result of enhancing competition with
other listing venues and with other
service providers.
Nasdaq does not believe that allowing
companies up to an additional 30 days
to begin their complimentary period
will cause any burden on competition.
This change would only confer a short
period prior to using services for
companies that have already determined
where to list and which services to use.
In fact, a competing service provider
could continue to offer its services
during that 30 day period, which would
enhance competition among service
providers.
Accordingly, Nasdaq does not believe
the proposed rule change will impose
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as amended.

With the Implementation of a Fee for
ACATS-Related Deliveries and
Receives
June 4, 2014.
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 May 29,
2014, the Depository Trust Company
(‘‘DTC’’) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’)
the proposed rule change as described
in Items I, II and III below, which Items
have been prepared primarily by DTC.
DTC filed the proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) 3 of
the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) 4
thereunder. The proposed rule change
was effective upon filing with the
Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

the Proposed Rule Change
As more fully described below, the
proposed rule change consists of
changes to the DTC fee schedule 5 to add
new fees for securities deliveries and
receives relating to customer account
transfers that utilize a new process to be
implemented by National Securities
Clearing Corporation (‘‘NSCC’’).
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
DTC included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change, and discussed
any comments it received on the

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose 6
Pursuant to its rule filing SR–NSCC–
2014–04 (the ‘‘NSCC Rule Filing’’),7
National Securities Clearing Corporation
(‘‘NSCC’’) will implement a new
process, called the ‘‘ACATS Settlement
Accounting Operation,’’ to facilitate the
settlement of Automated Customer
Account Transfer Service (‘‘ACATS’’) 8
activity relating to securities eligible for
processing through DTC. The ACATS
Settlement Accounting Operation will
have a DTC omnibus account (‘‘New
Account’’) associated with it against
which Participants will, via their
respective DTC accounts, deliver
securities to, or receive securities from,
NSCC in order to satisfy their ACATS
obligations in eligible securities.
Pursuant to the proposed rule change,
in order to align costs with revenues of
processing deliveries and receives of
securities for Participants against the
New Account, DTC will incorporate the
following new fees into its fee schedule:
Fee description
Fee amount
Deliveries to the NSCC ACATS Settlement Accounting Operation omnibus account.
Receives from the ACATS Settlement Accounting Operation omnibus
account.
Implementation Timeframe
The proposed fee changes will take
effect on May 30, 2014, for Participant
deliveries and receives of securities to
and from the New Account occurring on
or after that date.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed fee changes will align
DTC’s revenue related to processing of
ACATS transactions versus the New
Account with the associated costs to
DTC, and the fees will apply to each
Participant equally in accordance with
each Participant’s use of the applicable
DTC services. Therefore, DTC believes
that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the
Act, in particular Section 17A(b)(3)(D) 9
of the Act, which requires that the Rules
provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among its Participants. In addition to
the above, DTC’s provision of the
related services facilitates the safe and
secure delivery of customer securities
for ACATS transfers. Therefore, DTC
further believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with Rule 17Ad–
22(d)(6) 10 under the Act which requires
clearing agencies to establish,
implement, maintain and enforce
written policies and procedures
reasonably designed to be cost-effective
in meeting the requirements of
Participants while maintaining safe and
secure operations.

notice to solicit comments on the

emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
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 revise the ICC End-of-Day
Price Discovery Policies and Procedures
(‘‘EOD Pricing Policy’’) to revise the
expectations surrounding the unwind of
any Firm Trade transaction. This
revision does not require any changes to
the ICC Rules.
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 revision to ICC’s EOD
Pricing Policy is intended to make the
policy more readily enforceable, while
maintaining the same or similar level of
incentive for ICC Clearing Participants
to provide quality price submissions.
ICC believes such revision will
facilitate the prompt and accurate
clearance and settlement of securities
transactions and derivative agreements,
contracts, and transactions for which it
is responsible. The proposed revision is
described in detail as follows.
ICC Clearing Participants (‘‘CPs’’) may
be required from time to time, under the
ICC EOD Pricing Policy, to enter into
trades with other CPs as part of the ICC
end-of-day price discovery process
(‘‘Firm Trade’’). ICC does not require
CPs to maintain Firm Trades as
outstanding positions for any particular
length of time. Currently, the ICC EOD
Pricing Policy requires CPs that elect to
unwind a Firm Trade to do so ‘‘at the
then-current market price.’’ There are
practical difficulties with objectively
determining whether an unwind
transaction was executed at the ‘‘thencurrent market price’’ and therefore
such policy is difficult to enforce. ICC
proposes revising the ICC EOD Pricing
Policy to replace references to the
‘‘then-current market price’’ with the
requirement that unwind transactions
be executed in a competitive manner.
Further, ICC proposes adding the
requirement that, upon request, CPs be
able to demonstrate to ICC’s satisfaction
that such unwind transaction was
executed in a competitive manner.
Additionally, ICC proposes adding a
non-exclusive list of examples of how
CPs may be able to demonstrate
competitive execution of unwind
transactions. Specifically, such
examples include: (i) Execution on an
available trading venue (e.g., a SEF or
DCM); (ii) multiple dealer quotes
received and execution of the unwind
transaction at the best quoted price; or
(iii) placement of the unwind
transaction with an interdealer broker
with price terms and instructions
commensurate with a competitive
execution.
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
1 15
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:55 Jun 09, 2014
clearance and settlement of securities
transactions and, to the extent
applicable, derivative agreements,
contracts, and transactions and to
comply with the provisions of the Act
and the rules and regulations
thereunder. ICC believes that the
proposed revision to the EOD Pricing
Policy is consistent with the
requirements of the Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder applicable to
ICC, in particular, to Section
17(A)(b)(3)(F),4 because ICC believes
that the proposed rule changes 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. The
update to ICC’s EOD Pricing Policy
regarding Firm Trade unwind
transactions makes the policy more
readily enforceable, while maintaining
the same or similar level of incentive for
CPs to provide quality price
submissions. ICC considers the
proposed revision to be an enhancement
of its consistent underlying intention to
assure that CPs unwind Firm Trades
competitively. The inclusion of Firm
Trades in ICC’s end-of-day price
discovery process provides incentive for
CPs to submit quality price submissions.
If CPs unwound Firm Trades noncompetitively at the original Firm Trade
Price, thereby alleviating the Firm
Trade’s impact to their portfolio, the
incentive to provide quality price
submissions would be diminished.
Receiving quality prices from its CPs is
paramount to the pricing process and
ICC believes the proposed revision both
clarifies and enhances its EOD Pricing
Policy. As such, the proposed revision
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 within
the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) 5 of
the Act.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
ICC does not believe the proposed
rule changes would have any impact, or
impose any burden, on competition.
The revision to ICC’s EOD Pricing
Policy regarding the unwinding of Firm
Trades apply uniformly across all CPs.
Therefore, ICC does not believe the
proposed revision imposes any burden
on competition that is inappropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change
As more fully described below, the proposed rule change consists of
changes to the DTC fee schedule \5\ to add new fees for securities
deliveries and receives relating to customer account transfers that
utilize a new process to be implemented by National Securities Clearing
Corporation (``NSCC'').

In its filing with the Commission, DTC 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. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
[[Page 33242]]
(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose \6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Terms not defined herein have the meaning set forth in DTC's
Rules & Procedures (the ``Rules'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to its rule filing SR-NSCC-2014-04 (the ``NSCC Rule
Filing''),\7\ National Securities Clearing Corporation (``NSCC'') will
implement a new process, called the ``ACATS Settlement Accounting
Operation,'' to facilitate the settlement of Automated Customer Account
Transfer Service (``ACATS'') \8\ activity relating to securities
eligible for processing through DTC. The ACATS Settlement Accounting
Operation will have a DTC omnibus account (``New Account'') associated
with it against which Participants will, via their respective DTC
accounts, deliver securities to, or receive securities from, NSCC in
order to satisfy their ACATS obligations in eligible securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Release No. 34-72223 (May 22, 2014), 79 FR 30912 (May 29,
2014) (SR-NSCC-2014-04).
\8\ ACATS is a service of NSCC designed for the automated
transfer of customer accounts between broker-dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the proposed rule change, in order to align costs with
revenues of processing deliveries and receives of securities for
Participants against the New Account, DTC will incorporate the
following new fees into its fee schedule:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fee description Fee amount
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deliveries to the NSCC ACATS Settlement $0.06 per item; charged to
Accounting Operation omnibus account. delivering Participant.
Receives from the ACATS Settlement $0.06 per item; charged to the
Accounting Operation omnibus account. receiving Participant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Implementation Timeframe
The proposed fee changes will take effect on May 30, 2014, for
Participant deliveries and receives of securities to and from the New
Account occurring on or after that date.
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed fee changes will align DTC's revenue related to
processing of ACATS transactions versus the New Account with the
associated costs to DTC, and the fees will apply to each Participant
equally in accordance with each Participant's use of the applicable DTC
services. Therefore, DTC believes that the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of the Act, in particular Section
17A(b)(3)(D) \9\ of the Act, which requires that the Rules provide for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among its Participants. In addition to the above, DTC's provision of
the related services facilitates the safe and secure delivery of
customer securities for ACATS transfers. Therefore, DTC further
believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Rule 17Ad-
22(d)(6) \10\ under the Act which requires clearing agencies to
establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies and
procedures reasonably designed to be cost-effective in meeting the
requirements of Participants while maintaining safe and secure
operations.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. As stated above, the
proposed changes will align DTC's fees with the costs of delivering
services to its Participants, and the new fee will apply equally to all
DTC Participants in accordance with their use of the applicable
services.
(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received with respect to this filing.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The forgoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \12\ thereunder.
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
