would end. The proposed Phase 2 

changes would further allow OCC to 

provide certain assurances to NSCC 

prior to the default of a Common 

Member that would enable NSCC to 

begin processing E&A/Delivery 

Transactions before the NSCC central 

counterparty trade guaranty attaches. 

The proposed changes would not inhibit 

access to NSCC’s services in any way, 

apply to all Members and do not 

disadvantage or favor any particular 

user in relationship to another user. 

Accordingly, NSCC does not believe 

that the proposed rule change would 

have any impact or impose a burden on 

competition.
