Introduction On May 30, 2018, The Options Clearing Corporation (‘‘OCC’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change SR–OCC–2018– 008 (‘‘Proposed Rule Change’’) pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 2 thereunder to propose changes to OCC’s By-Laws and Rules, the formalization of a substantially new Clearing Fund Methodology Policy (‘‘Policy’’), and the adoption of a document describing OCC’s new Clearing Fund and stress testing methodology (‘‘Methodology Description’’).3 The proposed changes are primarily designed to enhance OCC’s overall resiliency, particularly with respect to the level of OCC’s pre1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

Specifically, the proposed changes would: (1) Reorganize, restate, and consolidate the provisions of OCC’s ByLaws and Rules relating to the Clearing Fund into a newly revised Chapter X of OCC’s Rules; (2) modify the coverage level of OCC’s Clearing Fund sizing requirement to protect OCC against losses stemming from the default of the two Clearing Member Groups that would potentially cause the largest aggregate credit exposure for OCC in extreme but plausible market conditions (i.e., adopt a ‘‘Cover 2 Standard’’ for sizing the Clearing Fund); (3) adopt a new risk tolerance for OCC to cover a 1-in-50 year hypothetical market event at a 99.5% confidence level over a two-year look-back period; (4) adopt a new Clearing Fund and stress testing methodology, which would be underpinned by a new scenario-based one-factor risk model stress testing approach, as detailed in the newly proposed Policy and Methodology Description; (5) document governance, monitoring, and review processes related to Clearing Fund and stress testing; (6) provide for certain anti-procyclical limitations on the reduction in Clearing Fund size from month to month; (7) increase the minimum Clearing Fund contribution requirement for Clearing Members to $500,000; (8) modify OCC’s allocation weighting methodology for Clearing Fund contributions; (9) reduce from five to two business days the timeframe within which Clearing Members are required to fund Clearing Fund deficits due to monthly or intra-month resizing or due to Rule amendments; (10) provide additional clarity in OCC’s Rules regarding certain antiprocyclicality measures in OCC’s margin model; and (11) make a number of other nonsubstantive clarifying, conforming, and organizational changes to OCC’s ByLaws, Rules, Collateral Risk Management Policy, Default Management Policy, and filed procedures, including retiring OCC’s existing Clearing Fund Intra-Month Resizing Procedure, Financial Resources Monitoring and Call Procedure (‘‘FRMC Procedure’’), and Monthly Clearing Fund Sizing Procedure, as these procedures would no longer be relevant to OCC’s proposed Clearing Fund and stress testing methodology and would be replaced by the proposed Rules, Policy, and Methodology Description described herein.
