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 Corporation (‘‘FICC’’) filed with the 1 15 2 17 PO 00000 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

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 Continued Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\25AUN1.SGM 25AUN1
