In the Matter of Aspire Japan, Inc., Market & Research Corp. (n/k/a MRC Group Ltd.), McIntosh Bancshares Inc., Pure Minerals, Inc. (f/k/a Pure Pharmaceuticals Corp.) and Salamon Group, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading, 37326-37327 [2015-16148]

Download as PDF 37326 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 125 / Tuesday, June 30, 2015 / Notices Third, revising the backtesting methodology to take into account losses over a two-day time horizon, should allow OCC to have a more accurate view of the sufficiency of its margin methodology. Finally, system modifications that should reveal attribution of losses due to underlying price movements and implied volatility movements should provide OCC with additional, automated investigative tools to conduct analysis into the root causes of exceedances. In addition, the Commission believes that the proposal in this Advance Notice is consistent with Clearing Agency Standards, in particular, Rule 17Ad– 22(b)(4) under the Exchange Act,19 which, in relevant part, requires registered clearing agencies that perform central counterparty services establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to provide for an annual model validation consisting of evaluating the performance of the clearing agency’s margin models and the related parameters and assumptions associated with such models. The Commission believes that this proposal is consistent with Exchange Act Rule 17Ad–22(b)(4) 20 because it provides OCC with the ability to employ improved statistical tests to better evaluate the performance of its margin models and thus improving its ability to validate such models. III. Conclusion It is therefore noticed, pursuant to Section 806(e)(1)(I) of the Payment, Clearing and Settlement Supervision Act,21 that the Commission does not object to advance notice proposal (SR– OCC–2014–810) and that OCC is authorized to implement the proposal.

The proposed rule change was published for comment in the Federal Register on April 6, 2015.3 The Commission received no comment letters regarding the proposed rule change. On May 13, 2015, the Commission extended to July 5, 2015, the time period in which to approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.4 On June 22, 2015, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.5 This order approves the proposed rule change, as amended, on an accelerated basis. II. Description of the Amended Proposal The Exchange proposes to amend and restate certain Phlx rules that govern PSX in order to provide additional detail and clarity regarding its order type functionality.6 This proposed rule change is a response to Chair White’s request that each equities exchange conduct a comprehensive review of the 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

Phlx also proposes to amend the definitions pertaining to Order Types and Order Attributes and to relocate them from Rule 3301 to new Rules 3301A (Order Types) and 3301B (Order Attributes), respectively.13 In addition, Phlx proposes to delete Rule 3305 as the information contained therein is superseded by proposed Rules 3301A and 3301B.14 Lastly, Phlx proposes certain conforming and technical changes to Rule 3306.15 Phlx represents that, except where specifically stated otherwise, all proposed rules are restatements of existing rules and are not intended to reflect substantive changes to rule text or the operation of PSX.16 Proposed Rule 3301A related to Order Types 7 See id. at 18453; see also Mary Jo White, Chair, Commission, Speech at the Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P.
