28 17 CFR 240.17Ad–22(b)(2). 

29 12 U.S.C. 5465(e)(1)(I). 

17Ad–22(b)(2) requires FICC to 

establish, implement, maintain and 

enforce written policies and procedures 

reasonably designed to use margin 

requirements to limit its credit 

exposures to participants under normal 

market conditions and use risk-based 

models and parameters to set margin 

requirements.28 To these ends, the 

change may provide FICC with a more 

accurate measurement of daily credit 

exposure using a risk-based model and 

is designed to address exposures that 

may occur from intraday activity. In 

sum, FICC’s more accurate and timely 

calculations around and monitoring of 

GCF Repo® activity may better enable 

FICC to respond in the event that a 

member defaults. 

III. Conclusion 

It is therefore noticed, pursuant to 

Section 806(e)(1)(I) of the Payment, 

Clearing and Settlement Supervision 

Act,29 that the Commission does not 

object to advance notice proposal (SR– 

FICC2014–801) and that FICC is 

authorized to implement the proposal as 

of the date of this notice or the date of 

an order by the Commission approving 

a proposed rule change that reflects rule 

changes that are consistent with this 

advance notice proposal (SR–FICC– 

2014–01), whichever is later. 

By the Commission.

Deputy Secretary.
