Credit Risk Retention (‘‘Regulation
RR’’) (17 CFR 246.1 through 246.22)
recordkeeping and disclosure
requirements implement Section 15G of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78o–11) Section 15G clarifies the
scope and application of Section 306(a)
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (15
U.S.C. 7244(a)). Section 306(a) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among
other things, an issuer to provide timely
notice to its directors and executive
officers and to the Commission of the
imposition of a blackout period that
would trigger a trading prohibition
under Section 306(a)(1) of the SarbanesOxley Act. Section 306(a)(1) prohibits
any director or executive officer of an
issuer of any equity security, from
directly or indirectly, purchasing,
selling or otherwise acquiring or
transferring any equity security of that
issuer during the blackout period with
respect to such equity security, if the
director or executive officer acquired
the equity security in connection with
his or her service or employment.
Approximately 1,647 issuers file using
Regulation RR responses and it takes
approximately 14.389 hours per
response. We estimate that 75% of the
14.389 hours per response (10.792
hours) is prepared by the registrant for
a total annual reporting burden of
17,774 hours (10.792 hours per response
× 1,647 responses).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this

Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Amendments to Clearing Fees for ICE
Futures Europe Three Month Swiss

Index Futures Contract
February 8, 2021.
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 February
1, 2021, ICE Clear Europe Limited (‘‘ICE
Clear Europe’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
changes described in Items I, II and III
below, which Items have been primarily
prepared by ICE Clear Europe. ICE Clear
Europe filed the proposed rule change
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the
Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(2) thereunder,4
so that the proposal was immediately
effective upon filing with the
Commission. 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
ICE Clear Europe Limited (‘‘ICE Clear
Europe’’) proposes rule changes relating
to amendments to clearing fees for ICE
Futures Europe Three Month Swiss
Average Rate Overnight (SARON®)
Index futures contract (‘‘Three Month
SARON’’). The proposed amendments

do not involve any changes to the ICE
Clear Europe Clearing Rules or
Procedures.5
II. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the
Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, ICE
Clear Europe included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change. The text of
these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
ICE Clear Europe 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
(a) Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule
changes is for ICE Clear Europe to
reduce the clearing fees for Three Month
SARON in line with the changes to the
notional size of the contract, which the
Exchange is proposing to decrease in
size by a factor of four. (Equivalent
reductions in the trading fee are being
proposed by the Exchange.)
As there is no current Open Interest
in the Three Month SARON contract,
the proposed change to the notional size
of the contract is being made to help
simplify the transition of Open Interest
from the existing ICE Futures Europe
Three Month Euroswiss futures contract
(‘‘Three Month Euroswiss’’), which
references Three Month Swiss Franc
LIBOR, to the Three Month SARON
contract which references the Swiss
Average Overnight Rate. Currently,
Three Month SARON is four times
larger in notional size than Three Month
Euroswiss so this proposed change will
enable the transition of Open Interest on
a one to one futures contract basis. As
the contract size of the Three Month
SARON contract is reducing by a factor
of 4, so the trading and clearing fees will
reduce by the same amount. Attached
[sic] as Exhibit 5 is an attachment
containing tables listing the new fee
schedules and a Circular in advance of
the proposed effective date. The new
fees are intended to come into effect on
01 March 2021 subject to regulatory
approval. The proposed revisions to the
fees are described in detail as follows.
5 Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the meanings specified in the ICE Clear
Europe Clearing Rules.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Notices
(B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
ICE Clear Europe does not believe the
proposed rule changes 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,
because fees are imposed on a per
transaction basis at the product level,
the changes to the fees are applied
equally to all those market participants
who trade and/or clear the Contracts.
The amendments with respect to the
SARON contract will not result in
higher fees for particular Clearing

charges among its participants.’’

Members as they are decreasing in line
with the size of the contract and
therefore ICE Clear Europe believes that
the new fees would be set at an
appropriate level to better reflect the
cost that the Clearing House takes on by
facilitating the relevant clearing
services. ICE Clear Europe does not
believe that the amendments would
adversely affect the ability of such
Clearing Members or other market
participants generally to access clearing
services for the Contracts. Further, since
the revised fees will apply to all
Clearing Members that clear the
products, ICE Clear Europe believes that
the amendments would not otherwise
affect competition among Clearing
Members, adversely affect the market for
clearing services or limit market
participants’ choices for obtaining
clearing services.
(C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants or Others
Written comments relating to the
proposed changes to the rules have not
been solicited or received. ICE Clear
Europe will notify the Commission of
any written comments received by ICE
Clear Europe.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) 9 of the Act and paragraph (f)
of Rule 19b–4 10 thereunder. At any time
within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission
summarily may temporarily suspend
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors,
or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.

(b) Statutory Basis
ICE Clear Europe believes that the
proposed rule changes are consistent
with the requirements of the Act,
including Section 17A of the Act 6 and
regulations thereunder applicable to it.
ICE Clear Europe’s fees are imposed at
the product level on a per transaction
basis (as are the applicable Exchange
fees). As a result, the fees apply equally
to all market participants who trade/
clear the Contracts. ICE Clear Europe
has determined that the reduced fees are
commensurate with the reduction in the
notional size of the contract and will
provide an appropriate balance between
the costs of clearing, and expenses
incurred by ICE Clear Europe. As such,
in ICE Clear Europe’s view, the
amendments are consistent with the
equitable allocation of reasonable dues,
fees and other charges among its
Clearing Members and other market
participants, within the meaning of
Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act,7 and
further do not unfairly discriminate
among such participants in their use of
the Clearing House, within the meaning
of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.8

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 February 1, 2021, ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe'')

Items have been primarily prepared by ICE Clear Europe. ICE Clear
Europe filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ so that the proposal
was immediately effective upon filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change
ICE Clear Europe Limited (``ICE Clear Europe'') proposes rule
changes relating to amendments to clearing fees for ICE Futures Europe
Three Month Swiss Average Rate Overnight (SARON[supreg]) Index futures
contract (``Three Month SARON''). The proposed amendments do not
involve any changes to the ICE Clear Europe Clearing Rules or
Procedures.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings specified in the ICE Clear Europe Clearing Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, ICE Clear Europe included
statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places
specified in Item IV below. ICE Clear Europe 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
(a) Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule changes is for ICE Clear Europe to
reduce the clearing fees for Three Month SARON in line with the changes
to the notional size of the contract, which the Exchange is proposing
to decrease in size by a factor of four. (Equivalent reductions in the
trading fee are being proposed by the Exchange.)
As there is no current Open Interest in the Three Month SARON
contract, the proposed change to the notional size of the contract is
being made to help simplify the transition of Open Interest from the
existing ICE Futures Europe Three Month Euroswiss futures contract
(``Three Month Euroswiss''), which references Three Month Swiss Franc
LIBOR, to the Three Month SARON contract which references the Swiss
Average Overnight Rate. Currently, Three Month SARON is four times
larger in notional size than Three Month Euroswiss so this proposed
change will enable the transition of Open Interest on a one to one
futures contract basis. As the contract size of the Three Month SARON
contract is reducing by a factor of 4, so the trading and clearing fees
will reduce by the same amount. Attached [sic] as Exhibit 5 is an
attachment containing tables listing the new fee schedules and a
Circular in advance of the proposed effective date. The new fees are
intended to come into effect on 01 March 2021 subject to regulatory
approval. The proposed revisions to the fees are described in detail as
follows.
[[Page 9417]]
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN12FE21.000
(b) Statutory Basis
ICE Clear Europe believes that the proposed rule changes are
consistent with the requirements of the Act, including Section 17A of
the Act \6\ and regulations thereunder applicable to it. ICE Clear
Europe's fees are imposed at the product level on a per transaction
basis (as are the applicable Exchange fees). As a result, the fees
apply equally to all market participants who trade/clear the Contracts.
ICE Clear Europe has determined that the reduced fees are commensurate
with the reduction in the notional size of the contract and will
provide an appropriate balance between the costs of clearing, and
expenses incurred by ICE Clear Europe. As such, in ICE Clear Europe's
view, the amendments are consistent with the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among its Clearing Members and
other market participants, within the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(D)
of the Act,\7\ and further do not unfairly discriminate among such
participants in their use of the Clearing House, within the meaning of
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1.
\7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D). Under this provision, ``[a]
clearing agency shall not be registered unless the Commission
determines that--(D) The rules of the clearing agency provide for
the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges
among its participants.''
\8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
ICE Clear Europe does not believe the proposed rule changes 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, because fees are imposed on a per transaction basis at the
product level, the changes to the fees are applied equally to all those
market participants who trade and/or clear the Contracts. The
amendments with respect to the SARON contract will not result in higher
fees for particular Clearing Members as they are decreasing in line
with the size of the contract and therefore ICE Clear Europe believes
that the new fees would be set at an appropriate level to better
reflect the cost that the Clearing House takes on by facilitating the
relevant clearing services. ICE Clear Europe does not believe that the
amendments would adversely affect the ability of such Clearing Members
or other market participants generally to access clearing services for
the Contracts. Further, since the revised fees will apply to all
Clearing Members that clear the products, ICE Clear Europe believes
that the amendments would not otherwise affect competition among
Clearing Members, adversely affect the market for clearing services or
limit market participants' choices for obtaining clearing services.
(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
Written comments relating to the proposed changes to the rules have
not been solicited or received. ICE Clear Europe will notify the
Commission of any written comments received by ICE Clear Europe.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) \9\ of the Act and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \10\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
