CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 (A) Clearing Agency’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change, Security-Based Swap Submission, or Advance Notice (a) Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to adopt rules that will provide the basis for ICC to clear an additional credit default swap contract. ICC proposes to make such change effective following Commission approval of the proposed rule change. ICC believes the addition of this contract will benefit the market for credit default swaps by providing market participants the benefits of clearing, including reduction in counterparty risk and safeguarding of margin assets pursuant to clearing house rules. Clearing of the additional EM Contract will not require any changes to ICC’s Risk Management Framework or other policies and procedures constituting rules within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’). ICC proposes amending Subchapter 26D of its Rules to provide for the clearance of the additional EM Contract, namely Ukraine. This additional EM Contract has terms consistent with the other EM Contracts approved for clearing at ICC and governed by Subchapter 26D of the Rules. A minor revision to Subchapter 26D (Standard Emerging Market Sovereign (‘‘SES’’) Single Name) is made to provide for clearing the additional EM Contract. Specifically, in Rule 26D–102 (Definitions), ‘‘Eligible SES Reference Entities’’ is modified to include Ukraine in the list of specific Eligible SES Reference Entities to be cleared by ICC. (b) Statutory Basis Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 3 requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent applicable, derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions; to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or control of ICC or for which it is responsible; and to comply with the provisions of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The additional EM Contract proposed for clearing is similar to the EM Contracts currently cleared by ICC, and will be cleared pursuant to ICC’s existing clearing arrangements and related financial safeguards, protections and risk management procedures.
