Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE 

Clear Credit LLC; Notice of Filing of 

Amendment No. 1 and Order Granting 

Accelerated Approval of a Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1, to Provide for the 

Clearance of Additional Standard 

Emerging Market Sovereign Single 

Names 

March 26, 2015. 

I. Introduction 

On January 23, 2015 ICE Clear Credit 

LLC (‘‘ICC’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change SR–ICC–2015–003 pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 

19b-4 thereunder.2 The proposed rule 

change was published for comment in 

the Federal Register on February 9, 

2015.3 The Commission did not receive 

any comments. On March 25, 2015, ICC 

filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed 

rule change.4 The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on Amendment No. 1 from 

interested persons and is approving the 

proposed rule change, as modified by 

Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated 

basis. 

II. Description of the Proposed Rule 

Change 

A. Description of the Initial Rule Filing 

ICC proposes to adopt rules that will 

provide the basis for ICC to clear 

additional credit default swap contracts. 

Specifically, ICC is proposing to amend 

Subchapter 26D–102 of its rules to 

provide for the clearance of additional 

Standard Emerging Market Sovereign 

single-name constituents of the CDX 

Emerging Markets Index (collectively, 

‘‘SES Contracts’’). Currently, ICC is 

approved to clear eight SES Contracts: 

the Federative Republic of Brazil, the 

United Mexican States, the Bolivarian 

Republic of Venezuela, the Argentine 

Republic, the Republic of Turkey, the 

Russian Federation, the Republic of 

Hungary, and the Republic of South 

Africa.5 The proposed change to the ICC 

Rules would provide for the clearance of 

five additional SES Contracts: the 

Republic of Chile, the Republic of Peru, 

the Republic of Colombia, Ukraine, and 

the Republic of Poland (‘‘Additional 

SES Contracts’’). 

ICC believes that the addition of these 

SES Contracts will benefit the market 

for emerging market credit default 

swaps by providing market participants 

the benefits of clearing, including 

reduction in counterparty risk and 

safeguarding of margin assets pursuant 

to clearing house rules. ICC states that 

the Additional SES Contracts will be 

offered on the 2014 ISDA Credit 

Derivatives Definitions and have terms 

consistent with the other SES Contracts 

approved for clearing at ICC and 

governed by Subchapter 26D of the ICC 

rules. According to ICC, the clearing of 

the Additional SES Contracts will not 

require any changes to ICC’s Risk 

Management Framework or other

policies and procedures constituting 

rules within the meaning of the Act. ICC 

states that, in connection with the 

clearance of the new contracts, it will 

apply its existing margin and guaranty 

fund methodology, operational and 

managerial resources, settlement 

procedures and account structures, and 

default management policies and 

procedures, which, together, it believes 

will provide sufficient financial, 

operational, and managerial resources to 

support the clearing of the new 

contracts. 

B. Description of Amendment No. 1 

On March 25, 2015, ICC filed 

Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule 

change. The purpose of the proposed 

rule change in Amendment No. 1 is to 

modify the list of proposed contracts set 

forth in the Initial Rule Filing. 

Specifically, ICC proposes removing 

Ukraine from the proposed list of 

contracts. Therefore, the proposed rule 

change, as amended, seeks approval for 

the clearance of the Republic of Chile, 

the Republic of Peru, the Republic of 

Columbia, and the Republic of Poland. 

ICC states that Amendment No. 1 does 

not significantly change the purpose of, 

and statutory basis for, the proposed 

rule change. ICC believes the proposed 

rule change, as modified by Amendment 

No. 1, remains consistent with the 

promotion of the prompt and accurate 

clearance and settlement of securities 

transactions and, to the extent 

applicable, derivatives agreements, 

contracts, and transactions, the 

safeguarding of securities and funds in 

the custody or control of ICC or for 

which it is responsible, and the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest, within the meaning of Section 

17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act, as described in 

the Initial Rule Filing. 

III. Discussion and Commission 

Findings 

Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act 6 directs 

the Commission to approve a proposed 

rule change of a self-regulatory 

organization if the Commission finds 

that such proposed rule change is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act and the rules and regulations 

thereunder applicable to such selfregulatory organization. Section 

17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 7 requires, among 

other things, that the rules of a clearing 

agency are designed to promote the 

prompt and accurate clearance and 

settlement of securities transactions 

and, to the extent applicable, derivative 

agreements, contracts, and transactions, 

to assure the safeguarding of securities 

and funds which are in the custody or 

control of the clearing agency or for 

which it is responsible and, in general, 

to protect investors and the public 

interest. 

The Commission finds that clearing of 

the Additional SES Contracts, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1, is 

consistent with the requirements of 

Section 17A of the Act 8 and regulations 

thereunder applicable to it, including 

the standards under Rule 17Ad–22.9

The proposed rule change will provide 

for clearing of Additional SES Contracts, 

as modified by Amendment No. 1, 

which are similar to the other SES 

contracts currently cleared by ICC, in 

the same manner as other SES Contracts 

already cleared by ICC. Specifically, the 

Commission believes that ICC’s 

proposal to clear the new contracts 

pursuant to ICC’s existing margin and 

guaranty fund methodology, operational 

and managerial procedures, settlement 

procedures and default management 

policies is designed to promote the 

prompt and accurate clearance and 

settlement of securities transactions and 

derivative agreements, contracts and 

transactions cleared by ICC, to assure 

the safeguarding of securities and funds 

in the custody or control of ICC, and to 

protect investors and the public interest, 

consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of 

the Act.10

IV. Accelerated Approval of Proposed 

Rule Change as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1 

As discussed above, ICC submitted 

Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule 

change to removing Ukraine from the 

proposed list of the Additional SES 

Contracts. The Commission believes 

that the modification by Amendment 

No. 1 to the Initial Rule Filing is 

consistent with the safeguarding of 

securities and funds in the custody or 

control of ICC or for which it is 

responsible, and the protection of 

investors and the public interest, within 

the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of 

the Act 11. Accordingly, the Commission 

finds good cause, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2)(C)(iii) of the Act 12, to approve 

the proposed rule change, as modified 

by Amendment No. 1, prior to the 

thirtieth day after the date of 

publication of notice of Amendment No. 

1 in the Federal Register. 

V. Solicitation of Comments on 

Amendment No. 1
