Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule 

Change To Introduce Cross-Margining 

of Certain Positions Cleared at the

and Certain Positions Cleared at New

February 28, 2011. 

I. Introduction 

On November 12, 2010, Fixed Income 

Clearing Corporation (‘‘FICC’’) filed with 

the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) proposed 

rule change SR–FICC–2010–09 pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’ 

or ‘‘Act’’).1 Notice of the proposed rule 

change was published in the Federal 

Register on November 30, 2010.2 The 

Commission initially received thirteen 

comments to the proposed rule change.3

FICC, as well as one of the commenters, 

submitted letters responding to the 

comments.4 For the reasons discussed 

below, the Commission is granting 

approval of the proposed rule change. 

II. Description 

The proposed rule change allows 

FICC to offer cross-margining of certain 

positions cleared at its Government 

Securities Division (‘‘GSD’’) and certain 

positions cleared at New York Portfolio 

Clearing, LLC (‘‘NYPC’’).5 GSD members 

will be able to combine their positions 

at GSD with their positions at NYPC, or 

those positions of certain permitted 

affiliates cleared at NYPC, within a 

single margin portfolio (‘‘Margin 

Portfolio’’). The proposed rule change 

also makes certain other related changes 

to GSD’s rules. 

A. Cross-Margining With NYPC 

Under the proposed rule, a member of 

FICC that is also an NYPC clearing 

member (‘‘Joint Clearing Member’’) 

could in accordance with the provisions 

of the GSD and NYPC Rules, elect to 

participate in the cross-margining 

arrangement. FICC’s rules permit a GSD 

netting member that is a member (or 

that has an affiliate that is a member) of 

one or more Futures Clearing 

Organizations (‘‘FCO’’),6 such as NYPC, 

to become a cross-margining participant 

in a cross-margining arrangement 

between FICC and one or more FCOs 

with the consent of FICC and each such 

FCO. A netting member shall become a 

cross-margining participant upon 

acceptance of FICC and each applicable 

FCO of an agreement executed by such 

cross-margining participant in the form 

specified in the applicable crossmargining agreement.7

Participating in the cross-margining 

arrangement would permit a Joint 

Clearing Member to have its margin 

requirement calculated taking into 

account both its positions at FICC and 

NYPC, which should provide a clearer 

picture of its risk exposure and 

generally facilitate better risk 

assessment by FICC. Specifically, each 

Joint Clearing Member would have its 

margin requirement with respect to 

Eligible Positions (i.e., positions in 

certain securities netted by FICC or 

certain futures contracts cleared by an 

FCO) 8 in its proprietary account at
