Derivatives Clearing Organizations and International Standards
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'') is proposing amendments to its regulations to establish additional standards for compliance with the derivatives clearing organization (``DCO'') core principles set forth in Section 5b(c)(2) of the Commodity Exchange Act (``CEA'') for systemically important DCOs (``SIDCOs'') and DCOs that elect to opt-in to the SIDCO regulatory requirements (``Subpart C DCOs''). SIDCOs and Subpart C DCOs would be required to comply with the requirements applicable to all DCOs, which are set forth in the Commission's DCO regulations on compliance with core principles, to the extent those requirements are not inconsistent with the requirements of the regulations in this proposed rule. The proposed amendments include: Procedural requirements for opting in to the regulatory regime as well as substantive requirements relating to governance, financial resources, system safeguards, special default rules and procedures for uncovered losses or shortfalls, risk management, additional disclosure requirements, efficiency, and recovery and wind-down procedures. These additional requirements would also be consistent with the Principles for Financial Market Infrastructures (``PFMIs'') published by the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems and the Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (``CPSS-IOSCO''). In addition, the Commission is proposing certain delegation provisions and certain technical clarifications.
Service Rules for Advanced Wireless Services H Block-Implementing Section 6401 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 Related to the 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz Bands
In this document, the Commission adopts rules to auction and license ten megahertz of paired spectrum at 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHzthe H Block. This action implements the Congressional directive in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Spectrum Act) that we grant new initial licenses for these spectrum bands through a system of competitive bidding. In so doing, we extend the widely deployed broadband Personal Communications Services (PCS) band, which is used by the four national wireless providers, as well as regional and rural providers, to offer mobile service across the United States. This additional spectrum for mobile use will help ensure that the speed, capacity, and ubiquity of the Nation's wireless networks keep pace with the skyrocketing demand for mobile services.
