Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 215 / Thursday, November 5, 2020 / Notices clearing service while properly compensating ICC for the risks, costs and expenses of clearing Index Swaptions. Client fees would be higher than CP fees for Index Swaptions, which is in line with ICC’s current single name and index fees, given the responsibilities and obligations of CPs to ICC as opposed to clients. Accordingly, the proposed fees appropriately balance the costs of clearing and expenses incurred by ICC and provide a reasonable fee structure for market participants. Moreover, the fees for Index Swaptions will apply equally to all market participants clearing Index Swaptions and therefore the proposed rule change provides for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among participants, within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act.13 ICC therefore believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 14 and the regulations thereunder applicable to it and is appropriately filed pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 15 and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b–4 16 thereunder. (B) Clearing Agency’s Statement on Burden on Competition ICC does not believe the proposed rule change would have any impact, or impose any burden, on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purpose of the Act. As discussed above, the proposed changes incorporate reasonable clearing fees for Index Swaptions into ICC’s fee schedule and will apply uniformly across all market participants. The implementation of such changes does not preclude other market participants from offering such instruments for clearing. Moreover, ICC does not believe that the amendments would adversely affect the ability of market participants to access clearing services. Accordingly, ICC does not believe the amendments impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purpose of the Act. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES (C) Clearing Agency’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been solicited or received.
