Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE 

Clear Europe Limited; Notice of Filing 

and Immediate Effectiveness of 

Proposed Rule Change Relating to 

Amendments to Part H of the ICE Clear 

Europe Delivery Procedures 

June 14, 2022. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on June 9, 

2022, ICE Clear Europe Limited (‘‘ICE 

Clear Europe’’ or the ‘‘Clearing House’’) 

filed with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the 

proposed rule changes described in 

Items I, II, and III below, which Items 

have been prepared primarily by ICE 

Clear Europe. ICE Clear Europe filed the 

proposed rule change pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 3 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(4)(ii) thereunder,4 such that the 

proposed rule change was immediately 

effective upon filing with the 

Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the 

Terms of Substance of the Proposed 

Rule Change 

ICE Clear Europe Limited (‘‘ICE Clear 

Europe’’ or the ‘‘Clearing House’’) 

proposes to amend Part H of its Delivery 

Procedures (‘‘Delivery Procedures’’ or 

‘‘Procedures’’) to correct a drafting 

inconsistency. 

II. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the 

Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the 

Proposed Rule Change 

In its filing with the Commission, ICE 

Clear Europe included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. ICE 

Clear Europe has prepared summaries, 

set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C)

below, of the most significant aspects of 

such statements. 

(A) Clearing Agency’s Statement of the 

Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the 

Proposed Rule Change 

(a) Purpose 

ICE Clear Europe is proposing to 

amend Part H of the Delivery 

Procedures, which addresses delivery 

under the monthly ICE Endex German 

THE Natural Gas futures contract 

(‘‘Monthly Contract’’), and daily futures 

contract with respect to the same 

underlying commodity (‘‘Daily 

Contract’’) to correct an inconsistency in 

the delivery timetable for routine 

deliveries of Daily Contracts. Currently, 

the delivery timetable in Section 5.2 

provides that for Daily Contracts 

Exchange for Physicals (‘‘EFPs’’) and 

Exchange for Swaps (‘‘EFSs’’) may be 

posted up to one hour following the 

cessation of trading. This is inconsistent 

with existing Section 2.6, which 

provides that with respect to Daily 

Contracts, EFPs and EFSs may be posted 

up to thirty minutes following the 

cessation of trading. The proposed 

amendment would change the delivery 

timetable to be consistent with Section 

2.6, which sets forth the correct 

deadline. 

(b) Statutory Basis 

ICE Clear Europe believes that the 

proposed amendment to the Delivery 

Procedures is consistent with the 

requirements of Section 17A of the Act 5

and the regulations thereunder 

applicable to it. In particular, Section 

17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 6 requires, among 

other things, that the rules of a clearing 

agency be designed to promote the 

prompt and accurate clearance and 

settlement of securities transactions 

and, to the extent applicable, derivative 

agreements, contracts, and transactions, 

the safeguarding of securities and funds 

in the custody or control of the clearing 

agency or for which it is responsible, 

and the protection of investors and the 

public interest. 

As discussed above, the amendment 

would modify Part H of the Delivery 

Procedures in order to correct an 

inconsistency regarding the deadline for 

submission of EFPs and EFSs with 

respect to Daily Contracts. In ICE Clear 

Europe’s view the amendment would 

thus facilitate the clearing membership 

process, and related risk management by 

the Clearing House. The amendments 

would therefore facilitate the prompt 

and accurate clearing of cleared 

contracts and protect investors and the 

public interest in the sound operations 

of the Clearing House, consistent with 

the requirements of Section 

17A(b)(3)(F).7 Further, the amendments 

will not affect the safeguarding of 

securities and funds in the custody or 

control of the Clearing House or for 

which it is responsible, within the 

meaning Section 17A(b)(3)(F).8

The proposed amendment is also 

consistent with relevant provisions of 

Rule 17Ad–22.9 Rule 17Ad–22(e)(10) 10

provides that, ‘‘[e]ach covered clearing 

agency shall establish, implement, 

maintain and enforce written policies 

and procedures reasonable designed to, 

as applicable [. . .] establish and 

maintain transparent written standards 

that state its obligations with respect to 

the delivery of physical instruments, 

and establish and maintain operational 

practices that identify, monitor and 

manage the risks associated with such 

physical deliveries.’’ The proposed 

amendment, which would correct an 

inconsistency regarding the deadline for 

submission of EFPs and EFSs with 

respect to Daily Contracts, would not 

otherwise change the delivery terms and 

conditions for the Daily Contracts or 

otherwise affect the ICE Clear Europe’s 

existing financial resources, risk 

management, systems and operational 

arrangements supporting delivery. The 

amendment thus appropriately clarifies 

the role and responsibilities of the 

Clearing House and Clearing Members 

with respect to physical delivery. As a 

result, ICE Clear Europe believes the 

amendment is consistent with the 

requirements of Rule 17Ad–22(e)(10).11

(B) Clearing Agency’s Statement on 

Burden on Competition 

ICE Clear Europe does not believe the 

proposed amendment would have any 

impact, or impose any burden, on 

competition not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. The proposed 

amendment to the Delivery Procedures 

is intended to correct an inconsistency 

in the delivery timetable for routine 

deliveries of Daily Contracts. ICE Clear 

Europe does not believe that the 

amendment would adversely affect 

competition among Clearing Members, 

materially affect the cost of clearing, 

adversely affect access to clearing for 

Clearing Members or their customers, or 

otherwise adversely affect competition 

in clearing services. Accordingly, ICE 

Clear Europe does not believe that the 

amendment would impose any impact 

or burden on competition that is not 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purpose of the Act. 

(C) Clearing Agency’s Statement on 

Comments on the Proposed Rule 

Change Received From Members, 

Participants or Others 

Written comments relating to the 

proposed amendment has not been 

solicited or received by ICE Clear 

Europe. ICE Clear Europe will notify the 

Commission of any comments received 

with respect to the proposed rule 

change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 12 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 13 thereunder. At any time within 

60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 

change, the Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

change is consistent with the Act.

June 14, 2022. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the

(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on June 1, 

2022, Nasdaq ISE, LLC (‘‘ISE’’ or

change as described in Items I and II

by the Exchange. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in sections A, B, and C below, of 

the most significant aspects of such 

statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

The Exchange proposes to amend 

Supplementary Material .07 of Options 

4A, Section 12, which governs its 

Nonstandard Expirations Pilot Program 

(‘‘Pilot Program’’), to permit P.M.-settled 

Nasdaq–100 Index (‘‘NDXP’’) options 

that expire on Tuesday or Thursday. 

Under the existing Pilot Program, the 

Exchange is permitted to list P.M.- 

settled options on broad-based indexes 

that expire on: (1) any Monday, 

Wednesday, or Friday (‘‘Weekly 

Expirations’’) and (2) the last trading 

day of the month (‘‘End of Month 

Expirations’’ or ‘‘EOMs’’).3 Today, Cboe 

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Cboe’’) is permitted to 

list P.M.-settled S & P 500 Index options 

that expire on Tuesday or Thursday 

under its Nonstandard Expirations Pilot 

Program.4

Specifically, the proposed rule change 

amends Supplementary Material .07(a) 

of Options 4A, Section 12 to add NDXP 

options (P.M.-settled) that expire on 

Tuesday or Thursday as permissible 

Weekly Expirations under the Pilot 

Program (currently set to expire on 

November 4, 2022). The Exchange notes 

that permitting NDXP options with 

Tuesday and Thursday expirations, as 

proposed, is in addition to the NDXP 

options with Monday, Wednesday and 

Friday expirations that the Exchange 

may (and does) already list, as they are 

permissible Weekly Expirations for 

options on a broad-based index (e.g., 

NDX) pursuant to Supplementary 

Material .07(a) of Options 4A, Section 

12. The Pilot Program for Weekly 

Expirations will apply to NDXP options 

with Tuesday and Thursday expirations 

in the same manner as it currently 

applies to P.M.-settled broad-based 

index options with Monday, Wednesday 

and Friday expirations. That is, as 

proposed, Supplementary Material 

.07(a) of Options 4A, Section 12 

provides that the Exchange may open 

for trading Weekly Expirations on any 

broad-based index eligible for standard 

options trading to expire on any 

Monday, Wednesday, or Friday (other 

than the third Friday-of-the-month or 

days that coincide with an EOM 

expiration). In addition, the Exchange 

may also open for trading Weekly 

Expirations on NDX options to expire 

on any Tuesday or Thursday (other than 

days that coincide with the third Fridayof-the-month or an EOM expiration).5

Monday, Wednesday and Friday 

weekly expirations are subject to all 

provisions of Supplementary Material 

.07(a) of Options 4A, Section 12 as 

would be the proposed Tuesday and 

Thursday expirations. Additionally, the 

Monday, Wednesday and Friday weekly 

expirations are treated the same as 

options on the same underlying index 

that expire on the third Friday of the 

expiration month as would be the 

proposed Tuesday and Thursday 

expirations; provided, however, that 

Weekly Expirations (including the new 

Tuesday and Thursday expirations) 

shall be P.M.-settled and new series in 

Weekly Expirations may be added up to 

and including on the expiration date for 

an expiring Weekly Expiration. The
