VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Mar 17, 2015 Jkt 235001 hereby given that on March 3, 2015, 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 by DTC. DTC filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 3 of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(4) 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. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The proposed rule change consists of technical amendments to the Settlement Service Guide (‘‘Guide’’) in order to make technical changes and updates to its text.5 II. Clearing Agency’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 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. (A) Clearing Agency’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose Pursuant to the proposed rule change the Guide would be revised to: (i) Refer to the ‘‘Settlement User Interface’’ rather than the ‘‘Settlement Web’’, ‘‘Participant Terminal System’’ and ‘‘Participant Browser Service’’; (ii) update the text of the Settling Bank Processing Schedule and other text in the Guide to reflect that DTC end-of-day net settlement is processed through the National Settlement Service (NSS) of the Federal Reserve System, specifically, that DTC submits to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York a file to debit and credit Federal Reserve accounts of Settling Banks simultaneously; (iii) delete references to the ‘‘U.S. program’’ of EuroCCP (which has ceased 3 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 4 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(4). 5 Each term not otherwise defined herein has the respective meaning set forth in DTC’s rules (the ‘‘Rules’’). PO 00000 Frm 00104 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14173 to exist) as well as any references to related DTC processing provisions that are obsolete as a result; (iv) simplify and update other text, including descriptions of processes and timeframes, contact information for settlement processing and crossreferences; and (v) conform grammar and usage throughout the Guide. Implementation Date The proposed rule changes would become effective immediately. 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change would update the Guide to make technical changes and updates to the Guide to reflect current terminology, systems functionality, practices and processing timeframes, which would simplify and clarify the Guide’s text. Therefore, DTC believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of: (i) The Act, in particular Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,6 which requires that the rules of the clearing agency be designed, inter alia, to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions, and (ii) Rule 17Ad–22(d)(9) 7 promulgated under the Act which requires, inter alia, that a clearing agency establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to identify and evaluate the risks and costs associated with using its services, because the proposed changes simplify and clarify the Guide’s text for the users of DTC’s services. (B) Clearing Agency’s Statement on Burden on Competition DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change would have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition. (C) Clearing Agency’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. DTC will notify the Commission of any written comments received by DTC. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 6 15 7 17 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(F). CFR 240.17Ad–22(d)(9). E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1
