SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 4041 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), a single-employer pension plan may terminate voluntarily only if it satisfies the requirements for either a standard or a distress termination. Pursuant to ERISA section 4041(b), for standard terminations, and section 4041(c), for distress terminations, and PBGC’s termination regulation (29 CFR part 4041), a plan administrator wishing to terminate a plan is required to submit specified information to PBGC in support of the proposed termination and to provide specified information regarding the proposed termination to third parties (participants, beneficiaries, alternate payees, and employee organizations). In the case of a plan with participants or beneficiaries who cannot be located when their benefits are to be distributed, the plan administrator is subject to the requirements of ERISA section 4050 and PBGC’s missing participants regulation (29 CFR part 4050). These regulations may be found on PBGC’s Web site at https://www.pbgc.gov/res/laws-andregulations/code-of-federalregulations.html. The collection of information under these regulations and the implementing forms and instructions has been approved by OMB under control number 1212–0036 (expires February 28, 2017). PBGC is requesting that OMB extend its approval for three years, with modifications. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a current OMB control number. PBGC is proposing to require that a plan administrator of a plan terminating in a standard termination (or a distress termination that closes out in the private sector) must submit with the PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 post-distribution certification the following information: • The most recent plan document. • Proof of benefit distributions for lump sums paid and annuities purchased, including an accurate list of annuity providers, with the group contract numbers and contact information for each annuity provider, and a list of participants entitled to an annuity from each annuity provider. These new information requirements will help PBGC address inquiries from individuals who claim they are owed benefits from terminated plans and, where appropriate, pay benefits to individuals entitled to them or to direct them to insurers that are holding annuities for them. PBGC received one comment on its proposal, from the Pension Rights Center.1 PBGC’s response to PRC’s comment is included in the OMB submission. PBGC estimates that 1,430 plan administrators will be subject to the collection of information requirements in PBGC’s regulations on termination and missing participants and implementing forms and instructions each year, and that the total annual burden of complying with these requirements is about 1,700 hours and $1,721,000.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Related to ICC’s Use of House Initial Margin as an Internal Liquidity Resource October 14, 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 October 1, 2014, ICE Clear Credit LLC (‘‘ICC’’) 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 ICC. 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 principal purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend ICC Clearing Rule 402(j) (‘‘Rule 402(j)’’) in order to provide further clarity regarding ICC’s intention to return any Clearing Participant’s House Initial Margin used as an internal liquidity resource. 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. 1 15 2 17 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62683 A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change On August 28, 2014, the Securities Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) issued an order approving ICC’s rule filing consisting of proposed amendments related to ICC’s authority to use Guaranty Fund and House Initial Margin as an internal liquidity resource (ICC–2014–08).3 ICC proposes changes to Rule 402(j) to provide further clarity regarding ICC’s intention to return any Clearing Participant House Initial Margin used as an internal liquidity resource. Under Rule 402(j), ICC may, in connection with a Clearing Participant default, (i) exchange House Initial Margin held in the form of cash for securities of equivalent value and/or (ii) exchange House Initial Margin held in the form of cash in one currency for cash of equivalent value in a different currency. ICC proposes adding language to clarify that ICC will engage in liquidity exchanges pursuant to Rule 402(j) on a temporary basis. Further, ICC proposes amending Rule 402(j) to state that ICC will reverse any such exchange involving a Clearing Participant’s Initial Margin in its House Account as soon as practicable following the conclusion of the event requiring the exchange of a Clearing Participant’s Initial Margin for liquidity purposes (i.e., as quickly as possible following the conclusion of the liquidity event). It is likely that the duration of the liquidity event will be significantly shorter than the amount of time necessary to complete the default management process for the event which gave rise to the liquidity need. ICC also proposes amending Rule 402(j) to delete general references to ICC’s liquidity policies and procedures and instead used the defined term ‘‘ICE Clear Credit Procedures’’ found throughout the ICC Rules. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 4 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 and to comply with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
