DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice 7989] 

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law (ACPIL): Notice of Public Meeting 

on Draft Principles Regarding the 

Enforceability of Close-Out Netting 

The Office of the Assistant Legal 

Adviser for Private International Law, 

Department of State, hereby gives notice 

of a public meeting on UNIDROIT’s 

draft Principles Regarding the 

Enforceability of Close-out Netting. 

Close-out netting is a contractual 

mechanism used by financial 

institutions and other market 

participants to reduce their risk 

exposure, and is thus a key tool for 

preserving the stability of the financial 

system. A study group organized by 

UNIDROIT (the International Institute 

for the Unification of Private Law) 

produced a draft set of principles that 

are intended to serve as a guide for 

evaluating whether the legal systems in 

various jurisdictions around the world 

adequately recognize the enforceability 

of netting provisions. The draft 

principles and background documents 

are available on the UNIDROIT Web site 

(http://www.unidroit.org/english/ 

studies/study78c/main.htm). On 

October 15, 2012, UNIDROIT will be 

holding an intergovernmental meeting 

at which the draft principles will be 

further developed, although it is not 

expected that the principles will be 

finalized until next year. 

The purpose of this public meeting is 

to obtain the views of concerned 

stakeholders on these topics in advance 

of the UNIDROIT meeting. This is not a 

meeting of the full Advisory Committee. 

Time and Place: The meeting will 

take place on Friday, September 21, 

2012, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the 

Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 33 

Liberty Street, New York, NY. 

Participants should arrive between 9:30 

a.m. and 9:45 a.m. for visitor screening. 

If you are unable to attend the public 

meeting and would like to participate 

from a remote location, teleconferencing 

will be available. 

Public Participation: This meeting is 

open to the public, subject to the 

capacity of the meeting room. For preclearance purposes, those planning to 

attend in person are requested to email 

or phone Tricia Smeltzer 

(smeltzertk@state.gov, 202–776–8423) or 

Niesha Toms (tomsnn@state.gov, 202– 

776–8420) and provide your full name 

and affiliation. Attendees are requested 

to bring a photo ID such as a driver’s 

license or a passport. This will greatly 

facilitate entry. 

A member of the public needing 

reasonable accommodation should 

advise Ms. Smeltzer or Ms. Toms not 

later than September 12, 2012. Requests 

made after that date will be considered, 

but might not be able to be fulfilled. If 

you would like to participate by 

telephone, please contact Ms. Smeltzer 

or Ms. Toms to obtain the call-in 

number and other information. 

Dated: August 14, 2012.
