securities, identify and monitor its 

direct participants’ submission of

how the clearing agency would address 

a failure to submit transactions in 

accordance with Rule 17ad– 

22(e)(18)(iv)(A); and 

• Rule 17ad–22(e)(23)(ii) under the 

Exchange Act,31 which requires that a 

covered clearing agency 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. 

IV. Procedure: Request for Written 

Comments 

The Commission requests that 

interested persons provide written 

submissions of their views, data, and 

arguments with respect to the issues 

identified above, as well as any other 

concerns they may have with the 

Proposed Rule Change. In particular, the 

Commission invites the written views of 

interested persons concerning whether 

the Proposed Rule Change is consistent 

with Section 17A(b)(3)(F), (G), and (I), 

and (b)(4)(B) 32 and Rules 17ad– 

22(e)(18)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)(A) and (B), and 

(e)(23)(ii) 33 of the Exchange Act, or any 

other provision of the Exchange Act, or 

the rules and regulations thereunder. 

Although there do not appear to be any 

issues relevant to approval or 

disapproval that would be facilitated by 

an oral presentation of views, data, and 

arguments, the Commission will 

consider, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(g) 

under the Exchange Act,34 any request 

for an opportunity to make an oral 

presentation.35
