Self-Regulatory Organizations; BOX
Exchange LLC; Notice of Designation
of a Longer Period for Commission
Action on a Proposed Rule Change To
Amend BOX Rule 7620
(Accommodation Transactions)
February 8, 2021.
On December 10, 2020, BOX
Exchange LLC (‘‘BOX’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’)
filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant
to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule
19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to amend BOX Rule 7620
(Accommodation Transactions) to allow
Floor Brokers to enter opening cabinet
orders on behalf of customers and floor
market makers, and codify that cabinet
orders will execute in open outcry
pursuant to the BOX Rule 7600 series.
The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on December 30, 2020.3 The
Commission received no comments on
the proposed rule change.
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides
that, within 45 days of the publication
of notice of the filing of a proposed rule
change, or within such longer period up
to 90 days as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or as to which the
self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission shall either approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the
proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule change should be
disapproved. The 45th day after
publication of the notice for this
proposed rule change is February 13,
2021. The Commission is extending this
45-day time period.
The Commission finds it appropriate
to designate a longer period within
which to take action on the proposed
rule change so that it has sufficient time
to consider the proposed rule change.
Accordingly, the Commission, pursuant
to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,5
designates March 30, 2021 as the date
by which the Commission shall either

Rule 17f–2(c)
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 17f–2(c) (17 CFR 240.17f–2(c)),
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17f–2(c) allows persons required
to be fingerprinted pursuant to Section
17(f)(2) of the Act to submit their
fingerprints to the Attorney General of
the United States or its designee (i.e.,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(‘‘FBI’’)) through a registered national
securities exchange or a registered
national securities association
(collectively, also known as ‘‘selfregulatory organizations’’ or ‘‘SROs’’)
pursuant to a fingerprint plan filed with,
and declared effective by, the
Commission. Fingerprint plans have
been approved for the American,
Boston, Chicago, New York, and
Philadelphia stock exchanges and for
the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (‘‘FINRA’’) and the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. Currently, the
bulk of the fingerprints are submitted
through FINRA.
It is estimated that 3,900 respondents
submit approximately 281,804 sets of
fingerprints (consisting of
approximately 253,721 electronic sets
and 28,083 hard copy sets) to SROs on
an annual basis. The Commission

CFR 200.30–3(a)(31).
12FEN1
9404
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Notices
estimates that it would take
approximately 15 minutes to create and
submit each fingerprint card. The total
time burden is therefore estimated to be
approximately 70,451 hours, or
approximately 18 hours per respondent,
annually.
In addition, the SROs charge an
estimated $26 fee for processing
fingerprint cards submitted
electronically, resulting in a total annual
cost to all 3,900 respondents of
approximately $6,596,746, or
approximately $1,691 per respondent
per year. The SROs charge an estimated
$41 fee for processing fingerprint cards
submitted in hard copy, resulting in a
total annual cost to all 3,900
respondents of approximately
$1,151,403, or approximately $295 per
respondent per year. The combined
annual cost to all respondents is thus
approximately $7,748,149.
Because the FBI will not accept
fingerprint cards directly from
submitting organizations, Commission
approval of fingerprint plans from
certain SROs is essential to carry out the
Congressional goal to fingerprint
securities industry personnel. Filing
these plans for review assures users and
their personnel that fingerprint cards
will be handled responsibly and with
due care for confidentiality.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE
Clear Credit LLC; Order Approving
Proposed Rule Change Relating to the
ICC Clearing Participant Default
Management Procedures
February 8, 2021.
Introduction
On December 22, 2020, ICE Clear
Credit LLC (‘‘ICC’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 a proposed rule change to
revise its Clearing Participant (‘‘CP’’)
Default Management Procedures (the
‘‘Default Management Procedures’’).3
The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on January 8, 2020.4 The
Commission did not receive comments
on the proposed rule change. For the
reasons discussed below, the
Commission is approving the proposed
rule change.
II. Description of the Proposed Rule
Change
ICC’s proposed rule change would
make clarifying changes to the Default
Management Procedures to formalize
the process for convening remote
meetings of ICC’s CDS Default
Committee, and to update certain
procedures for notifications by
designated ICC officers as part of its CP
default management process.5 This
process includes the actions that ICC
takes to determine that a CP is in default
and to close-out the defaulting CP’s
portfolio.6
Specifically, ICC proposes revisions to
Subsection 4.4 (Secure Trading Facility)
of the Default Management Procedures
related to convening the ICC CDS
Default Committee, which consists of
designated employees of eligible CPs
that have CDS trading experience and
are deemed seconded to ICC to assist
1 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

have the meanings specified in the ICC Clearing
Rules (the ‘‘Rules’’).

Management Procedures, Exchange Act Release No.

with default management and the closeout process. Currently, Subsection 4.4
provides only for an in-person meeting
of the CDS Default Committee in a
private room at ICC’s New York offices
(‘‘Secure Trading Facility’’). The
proposed changes specify that ICC may
convene its CDS Default Committee at
the Secure Trading Facility or remotely
by teleconference (‘‘Remote Trader
Consultation’’) in the event the
Committee is unable to meet in person.
The proposed changes also specify that
the ICC Chief Risk Officer (‘‘CRO’’) will
decide whether to convene the CDS
Default Committee in person or
remotely, and that such decision will
depend on the circumstances at the time
of the declaration of the default.
ICC also proposes updates to Section
6 (Default Declaration). Currently,
Subsection 6.1.5 (CCO Pre-Declaration
Initiated Actions) requires the ICC Chief
Compliance Officer (‘‘CCO’’) to inform
default contacts at the Commission and
the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (‘‘CFTC’’) by telephone of a
potential CP default. The proposed
changes to Subsection 6.1.5 would
allow the CCO to inform the default
contacts at Commission and the CFTC
by telephone or email of a potential
default, and further direct the CCO to
inform other regulators of the potential
default as may be required. Amended
Subsection 6.4 (Default Declaration
Notification) similarly directs the CCO
to notify other regulators (in addition to
the Commission and the CFTC) of a
default if applicable, and replaces the
word ‘‘all’’ with ‘‘above’’ in the phrase
‘‘Upon the CCO confirming all
notifications have been completed,’’ in
the last paragraph of this subsection.
The proposed updates to Subsection
6.5.3 (CRO Post-Declaration
Preparation) relate to the CRO’s actions
to convene the CDS Default Committee
after a declaration of default and to
determine whether this Committee will
meet in person or remotely at such postdeclaration phase. If the CRO convenes
an in-person CDS Default Committee
meeting at the Secure Trading Facility,
the proposed updates to Subsection
6.5.3 clarify that the CRO will work
with ICC’s Risk Committee and other
ICC staff as required to perform certain
specified actions. The proposed
revisions to Subsection 6.5.4 (CCO PostDeclaration Actions) make clarifications
in respect of the notice that the CCO
provides to the compliance personnel of
a CDS Default Committee member
following a declaration of a default,
including the prospect that the CDS
Default Committee may meet by
teleconference.
