Download as PDF 4638 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 16 / Wednesday, January 24, 2024 / Notices would impose any burden on competition. The purpose of the Proposed Rule Change is for LCH SA to amend its Fee Grid for 2024 by incorporating changes to the CDSClear business and new clearing services offered to meet Clearing Members’ and Clients’ evolving business needs. As part of this effort LCH SA is proposing to align certain fees with other LCH SA service offerings, further incentivize competition by offering certain discounts and make clarifying changes on how fees will be calculated and applied. LCH SA believes the Proposed Rule Change would not burden any Clearing Members or other market participants given that amendments to the Fee Grid will be applied equally for all CDSClear Clearing Members and Clients. Therefore, LCH SA does not believe that the Proposed Rule Change would impose a burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 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 Rule Change have not been solicited or received. LCH SA will notify the Commission of any written comments received by LCH SA. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 III.
