Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 10, 2019 / Notices Statutory and Regulatory Criteria POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION In addition to requiring that alternative arbitration procedures mirror PBGC’s default rules of arbitration, § 4221.14 provides the procedure and criteria for approval. The Procedure for approval of alternative procedures under § 4221.14(c) provides that an application requesting approval shall include (1) a copy of the procedures for which approval is sought; (2) a description of the history, structure and membership of the organization that sponsors the procedures; and (3) a discussion of the reasons why, in the sponsoring organization’s opinion, the procedures satisfy the criteria for approval set forth in 4221.14(d). The Criteria for approval of alternative procedures under § 4221.14(d) provides: ‘‘PBGC shall approve an application if it determines that the proposed procedures will be substantially fair to all parties involved in the arbitration of a withdrawal liability dispute and that the sponsoring organization is neutral and able to carry out its role under the procedures.’’ [Docket Nos. MC2020–45 and CP2020–43; MC2020–46 and CP2020–44] Determination jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES In light of the significant increase of fees in the 2013 MPPAR and the comments submitted by interested parties, PBGC resumed discussions with AAA to seek changes to ensure the proposed rules were substantially fair to all parties involved in the arbitration of withdrawal liability disputes. PBGC advised AAA that three specific issues needed to be addressed for any amendment to the 1986 MPPAR to be approved: (i) Fee Increase; (ii) Apportionment of Fees; and (iii) Arbitrator Selection Process. The discussions resulted in proposed changes by AAA which are memorialized in the 2019 Rules as discussed above. PBGC has determined that the changes reflected in the 2019 Rules are consistent with the requirements of section 4221 of ERISA and the regulatory requirements under § 4221.14(d) in that they are fair to all parties involved in the arbitration of a withdrawal liability dispute and AAA is neutral and able to carry out its role under the procedures. This approval is effective unless revoked by PBGC, and future changes, including changes to the applicable fee schedule will be subject to PBGC review under § 4211.14(d). Issued in Washington, DC. Gordon Hartogensis, Director, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

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 December 3, 2019, Banque Centrale de Compensation, which conducts business under the name LCH SA (‘‘LCH SA’’), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change (‘‘Proposed Rule Change’’) described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been primarily prepared by LCH SA. 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 Postal ServiceTM. [FR Doc. 2019–26479 Filed 12–9–19; 8:45 am] Self-Regulatory Organizations; LCH SA; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to Amendments to LCH SA’s Liquidity Risk Modelling Framework LCH SA is proposing to amend its Liquidity Risk Modelling Framework (the ‘‘Framework’’), which describes the Liquidity Stress Testing framework by which the Collateral and Liquidity Risk Management department (‘‘CaLRM’’) of LCH Group Holdings Limited (‘‘LCH Group’’) assures that LCH SA has enough cash available to meet any financial obligations, both expected and unexpected, that may arise over the liquidation period for each of the clearing services that LCH SA offers.3 The Commission first approved the Framework by Order dated July 18, 2018.4 II. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, LCH SA included statements concerning 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 LCH SA, a subsidiary of LCH Group, manages its liquidity risk pursuant to, among other policies and procedures, the Group Liquidity Risk Policy and the Group Liquidity Plan applicable to each entity within LCH Group.

The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. LCH SA 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 The Framework is one of several welldeveloped policies and procedures that LCH SA maintains to manage its liquidity risk, i.e., the risk that LCH SA will not have enough cash available, in extreme but plausible circumstances, to settle margin payments or delivery obligations when they become due, in particular upon the default of a clearing member. Such policies and procedures include, among others: (i) The Group Liquidity Risk Policy; (ii) the Group Liquidity Plan; (iii) the Group Financial Resource Adequacy Plan; (iv) the Group Collateral Risk Policy; (v) the Group Investment Risk Policy; and (vi) the LCH SA Collateral Control Framework. The Framework complements these policies and procedures and develops further the Group Liquidity Risk Policy. In brief, the Framework: (i) Identifies LCH SA’s sources of liquidity and corresponding liquidity risks; (ii) identifies LCH SA’s liquidity requirements with respect to its members and its interoperable central counterparty (‘‘CCP’’); 5 (iii) describes the metrics and limits that LCH SA monitors; and (iv) describes the scenarios under which these metrics are computed.6 (i) Physically-Settled Options LCH SA is proposing to amend the Framework in order to address more accurately its liquidity requirements in the event of the assignment and exercise of physically-settled options involving a defaulting clearing member during the liquidation period of such clearing member. Specifically, the amended Framework will address LCH SA’s liquidity requirements in the event options that are in the money are 5 LCH SA has an interoperability agreement with Cassa di Compensazione e Garanzia (‘‘CC&G’’), an Italian CCP, pursuant to which LCH SA’s clearing members and CC&G’s clearing members are able to benefit from common clearing services without having to join the other CCP. Each CCP is a clearing member of the other one with a particular status when accessing the clearing system of the other counterparty. 6 The Release describes the operation of the Framework in greater detail.
