Filing of Proposed Rule Change To
Describe Key Components of the

August 19, 2020.
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 August
11, 2020, Fixed Income Clearing

Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II and III
below, which Items have been prepared
by the clearing agency. 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
a proposal to amend the FICC MortgageBacked Securities Division (‘‘MBSD’’)
Clearing Rules (‘‘MBSD Rules’’) 3 to
include a new section that would
describe the key components of MBSD’s
stress testing program. This section
would also disclose FICC’s proposal to
(1) utilize vendor-supplied historical
risk factor 4 time series data (‘‘Historical
Data’’) and vendor-supplied securitylevel risk sensitivity 5 data (‘‘SecurityLevel Data’’) 6 in the stress testing
3 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings assigned to such
terms in the MBSD Rules, available at
www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures.aspx.
4 Generally, the term ‘‘risk factor’’ (or ‘‘risk
driver’’) means an attribute, characteristic, variable
or other concrete determinant that influences the
risk profile of a system, entity, or financial asset.
Risk factors may be causes of risk or merely
correlated with risk.
5 The term ‘‘sensitivity’’ means the percentage
value change of a security given each risk factor
change.
6 FICC would receive the following data from the
vendor: Interest rate (including 11 tenors) measures
the sensitivity of a price change to changes in
interest rates; convexity measures the degree of
curvature in the price/yield relationship of key
interest rates (convexity would not be utilized in
the scenarios selection process; it would only be
utilized in the stress profit and loss calculation);
mortgage option adjusted spread is the yield spread
that is added to a benchmark yield curve to
discount a TBA’s cash flows to match its market
price, which takes into account a credit premium
and the option-like feature of mortgage-backedsecurities due to prepayment; interest rate volatility
reflects the implied volatility observed from the
swaption market to estimate fluctuations in interest
rates; and mortgage basis captures the basis risk
between the prevailing mortgage rate and a blended
U.S. Treasury rate, which impacts borrowers’
refinance incentives and the model prepayment
assumptions. The Historical Data would include (1)
interest rate, (2) mortgage option adjusted spread,
(3) interest rate volatility, and (4) mortgage basis.
The Security-Level Data would include (1)
sensitivity to interest rates, (2) convexity, (3)
sensitivity to mortgage option adjusted spread, (4)
sensitivity to interest rate volatility, and (5)
sensitivity to mortgage basis. FICC does not believe
that its current engagement of the vendor would
present a conflict of interest because the vendor is
not an existing Clearing Member nor are any of the
vendor’s affiliates existing Clearing Members. To
the extent that the vendor or any of its affiliates
applies to become a Clearing Member, FICC will
negotiate an appropriate information barrier with
the applicant in an effort to prevent a conflict of
interest from arising. An affiliate of the vendor
currently provides an existing service to FICC;
however, this arrangement does not present a
