Representatives of the NRC must be guaranteed permanent right-ofentry for periodic site inspections. Perpetual access to the site is gained by a local county road. To meet the NRC’s license requirements at 10 CFR 40.28 and 10 CFR part 40, appendix A, criterion 12, the DOE as long-term custodian must, at a minimum, fulfill the following requirements: • annual site inspection, • annual inspection report, • follow-up inspections and reports, as necessary, • site maintenance, as necessary, • emergency measures, and, • environmental monitoring. III. Finding of No Significant Impact khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Based on its review of the proposed action in the EA, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR part 51, the NRC staff determined that approval of the LTSP for the Split Rock, Wyoming UMTRCA Title II disposal site authorizing long-term surveillance activities, will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. The proposed action would not result in any new construction or expansion of the existing footprint beyond the area previously disturbed and approved. No significant radiological or nonradiological impacts are expected from the long-term surveillance and maintenance. The proposed action will not affect potentially eligible historic properties if any are present. Therefore, the NRC staff determined that pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, preparation of an environmental impact statement is not required for the proposed action, and pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, a FONSI is appropriate.

I. Introduction On August 8, 2023, ICE Clear Europe Limited (‘‘ICEEU’’) 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 modify its Clearing Membership Policy (‘‘Policy’’) and Clearing Membership Procedures (‘‘Procedures’’). On August 22, 2023, ICE Clear Europe filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change to make certain changes to the Exhibits 5A and 5B.3 Notice of the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, was published for comment in the Federal Register on August 29, 2023.4 The Commission has not received any comments on the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1 (hereinafter ‘‘Proposed Rule Change’’). For the reasons discussed below, the Commission is approving the Proposed Rule Change.5 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 Amendment No. 1 amends the Exhibit 5A and Exhibit 5B to correctly reflect the addition of the Document Handling subsection to each document’s Table of Contents. The proposed rule change includes an Exhibit 4A and Exhibit 4B. Exhibit 4A shows the change that Amendment No. 1 makes to Exhibit 5A, and Exhibit 4B does the same with respect to Exhibit 5B. 4 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 98207 (August 23, 2023), 88 FR 59547 (August 29, 2023) (File No. SR–ICEEU–2023–022) (‘‘Notice’’). 5 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Policy or the Procedures or, if not defined therein, ICE Clear Europe’s Clearing Rules. 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change ICEEU is registered with the Commission as a clearing agency for the purpose of clearing security-based swaps. In its role as a clearing agency for clearing security-based swaps, ICEEU provides services to its Clearing Members. ICEEU’s Clearing Members enter into a Clearing Membership Agreement with ICEEU and are admitted as clearing members of ICEEU under Part 2 of ICEEU’s clearing rules.6 As a result of its relationship with its Clearing Members, ICEEU faces a number of risks. For example, ICEEU’s Clearing Members may not meet membership criteria which ultimately could increase the chances of both a Clearing Member defaulting and ICEEU needing to use mutualized funds.7 ICEEU manages these risks, and relationships with its Clearing Members, through the Policy and the Procedures. The Policy describes ICEEU’s membership criteria and related processes for assessing applicants for membership, on-going monitoring of its Clearing Members, and termination of its Clearing Members. The Procedures in turn provide additional detail as to how ICE Clear Europe applies its policies for reviewing applications for clearing membership, variations of permissions for Clearing Members, ongoing monitoring of Clearing Members, and termination of clearing membership.8 Through the Proposed Rule Change, ICEEU proposes to make changes to both the Policy and the Procedures.9 These proposed changes correct an improper reference to model documents; clarify that clearing members must provide notice of certain situations; update sections on monitoring membership criteria; update sections on document governance; update the Procedures’ clearing membership application process; and clarify that ICEEU may take certain steps in its absolute discretion. 1. Correction of Improper Reference to Model Documents in the Policy The current Policy notes that procedural aspects and relevant 6 The Clearing Membership Agreement is an agreement between ICEEU and a Clearing Member under which the Clearing House agrees to provide clearing in respect of Contracts to that Clearing Member and that Clearing Member agrees to be bound by and subject to ICEEU’s Clearing Rules.
