BILLING CODE 8011–01–P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34–74593; File No. SR–ICC– 2015–003] Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, to Provide for the Clearance of Additional Standard Emerging Market Sovereign Single Names March 26, 2015. I. Introduction On January 23, 2015 ICE Clear Credit LLC (‘‘ICC’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change SR–ICC–2015–003 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder.2 The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on February 9, 2015.3 The Commission did not receive any comments. On March 25, 2015, ICC filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.4 The Commission is 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34–74192 (Feb. 3, 2015), 80 FR 7070 (Feb. 9, 2015) (File No. SR–ICC–2015–003) (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Initial Rule Filing’’). 4 ICC filed Amendment No. 1 to remove Ukraine from the list of proposed additional Standard Emerging Market Sovereign single-name constituents of the CDX Emerging Markets Index set 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00153 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 publishing this notice to solicit comments on Amendment No. 1 from interested persons and is approving the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis. II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change A. Description of the Initial Rule Filing ICC proposes to adopt rules that will provide the basis for ICC to clear additional credit default swap contracts. Specifically, ICC is proposing to amend Subchapter 26D–102 of its rules to provide for the clearance of additional Standard Emerging Market Sovereign single-name constituents of the CDX Emerging Markets Index (collectively, ‘‘SES Contracts’’). Currently, ICC is approved to clear eight SES Contracts: the Federative Republic of Brazil, the United Mexican States, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the Argentine Republic, the Republic of Turkey, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Hungary, and the Republic of South Africa.5 The proposed change to the ICC Rules would provide for the clearance of five additional SES Contracts: the Republic of Chile, the Republic of Peru, the Republic of Colombia, Ukraine, and the Republic of Poland (‘‘Additional SES Contracts’’). ICC believes that the addition of these SES Contracts will benefit the market for emerging market credit default swaps by providing market participants the benefits of clearing, including reduction in counterparty risk and safeguarding of margin assets pursuant to clearing house rules. ICC states that the Additional SES Contracts will be offered on the 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions and have terms consistent with the other SES Contracts approved for clearing at ICC and governed by Subchapter 26D of the ICC rules. According to ICC, the clearing of the Additional SES Contracts will not require any changes to ICC’s Risk Management Framework or other forth in the Initial Rule Filing, as further described below. 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34– 65588 (Oct. 18, 2011), 76 FR 65763 (Oct. 24, 2011) (File No. SR–ICC–2011–01) (order approving rule change to clear SES Contracts referencing the Federative Republic of Brazil, the United Mexican States, the Bolivian Republic of Venezuela, and the Argentine Republic); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34–70849 (Nov. 12, 2013), 78 FR 69167 (Nov. 18, 2013) (File No. SR–ICC–2013–07) (order approving rule change to clear SES Contracts referencing the Republic of Turkey and the Russian Federation); and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34–73220 (Sep. 25, 2014), 79 FR 59340 (Oct. 1, 2014) (File No. SR–ICC–2014–13) (order approving rule change to clear SES Contracts referencing the Republic of Hungary and the Republic of South Africa).
