29152 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 121 / Friday, June 22, 2018 / Notices 

39 Id. 

40A ‘‘covered clearing agency’’ means, among 

other things, a clearing agency registered with the 

Commission under Section 17A of the Act (15 

U.S.C. 78q–1 et seq.) that is designated systemically 

important by the Financial Stability Oversight 

Committee (‘‘FSOC’’) pursuant to the Payment, 

Clearing, and Settlement Supervision Act of 2010 

(12 U.S.C. 5461 et seq.). See 17 CFR 240.17Ad– 

22(a)(5)–(6). Because FICC is a registered clearing 

agency with the Commission that has been 

designated systemically important by FSOC, FICC 

is a covered clearing agency. 

41 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(e)(23)(ii). 

42 Id. 

43 15 U.S.C. 78q–1. 

44 In approving the proposed rule change, the 

Commission considered the proposal’s impact on 

efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 

U.S.C. 78c(f). 

45 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

GSD and MBSD fails charge calculations 

do not produce a zero charge would 

encourage market participants to 

maintain their fails charge operational 

processes. Accordingly, the Commission 

finds that the proposed rule change is 

designed to help ensure that settlement 

in the applicable markets covered by 

FICC’s processes occurs on a timely 

basis, and thereby promotes the prompt 

and accurate clearance and settlement of 

securities transactions, consistent with 

Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.39

B. Rule 17Ad–22(e)(23)(ii) Under the Act 

Rule 17Ad–22(e)(23)(ii) under the Act 

requires each covered clearing agency 40

to establish, implement, maintain and 

enforce written policies and procedures 

reasonably designed to provide 

sufficient information to enable 

participants to identify and evaluate the 

risks, fees, and other material costs they 

incur by participating in the covered 

clearing agency.41

As discussed above, the proposed rule 

change would update both the GSD 

Rules and the MBSD Rules to clarify the 

target rate that may be used in the fails 

charge calculations under certain 

circumstances and make certain 

technical changes to the fails charge 

provisions to ensure consistent use of 

defined terms. The proposed rule 

change also would update the MBSD 

Rules to clarify that a cap applies to the 

MBSD fails charge. 

These clarifications are designed help 

ensure that the GSD and MBSD fails 

charges are transparent and clear to 

market participants. Increasing 

transparency and clarity around these 

charges would help market participants 

better understand the operation of the 

fails charges, and thereby provide 

market participants with increased 

predictability and certainty regarding 

their obligations to FICC. Accordingly, 

the Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change would help establish, 

implement, and maintain FICC’s rules 

in a manner reasonably designed to 

provide sufficient information to enable 

participants to identify and evaluate the 

risks, fees, and other material costs they 

incur by participating in FICC, 

consistent with Rule 17Ad–22(e)(23)(ii) 

under the Act.42

III. Conclusion 

On the basis of the foregoing, the 

Commission finds that the proposal is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act, in particular the requirements of 

Section 17A of the Act 43 and the rules 

and regulations thereunder. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, that 

proposed rule change SR–FICC–2018– 

004 be, and hereby is, approved.44

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.45

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The VIS Working Group is an 

advisory committee established in 

accordance with Section 10 of the 

Protecting our Infrastructure of 

Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 

2016 (Pub. L. 114–183), the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 

U.S.C., App. 2, as amended), and 41 

CFR 102–3.50(a). 

II. Meeting Details and Agenda 

The VIS Working Group agenda will 

include briefings on topics such as 

mandate requirements, integrity 

management, data types and tools, inline inspection and other direct 

assessment methods, geographic 

information system implementation, 

subcommittee considerations, lessons 

learned, examples of existing 

information-sharing systems, safety 

management systems, and more. As part 

of its work, the committee will 

ultimately provide recommendations to 

the Secretary, as required and 

specifically outlined in Section 10 of 

Public Law 114–183, addressing: 

(a) The need for, and the 

identification of, a system to ensure that 

dig verification data are shared with inline inspection operators to the extent 

consistent with the need to maintain 

proprietary and security-sensitive data 

in a confidential manner to improve 

pipeline safety and inspection 

technology; 

(b) Ways to encourage the exchange of 

pipeline inspection information and the 

development of advanced pipeline 

inspection technologies and enhanced 

risk analysis; 

(c) Opportunities to share data, 

including dig verification data between 

operators of pipeline facilities and inline inspector vendors to expand 

knowledge of the advantages and 

disadvantages of the different types of 

in-line inspection technology and 

methodologies; 

(d) Options to create a secure system 

that protects proprietary data while 

encouraging the exchange of pipeline 

inspection information and the 

development of advanced pipeline 

inspection technologies and enhanced 

risk analysis; 

(e) Means and best practices for the 

protection of safety and securitysensitive information and proprietary 

information; and 

(f) Regulatory, funding, and legal 

barriers to sharing the information 

described in paragraphs (a) through (d). 

The Secretary will publish the VIS 

Working Group’s recommendations on a 

publicly available DOT website and in 

the docket. The VIS Working Group will 

fulfill its purpose once its 

recommendations are published online. 

PHMSA will publish the agenda on 

the PHMSA meeting page at: https://

primis.phmsa.dot.gov/meetings/ 

MtgHome.mtg?mtg=135, once it is 

finalized.
