Abstract: The proposed amendments to Rule 19b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") are to incorporate two new requirements applicable to clearing agencies under Section 3C of the Exchange Act, as added by Section 763(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Exchange Act Section 3C"), and under Section 806(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act ("Section 806(e)"). The proposed amendments to Rule 19b-4 would mandate that submissions required under Exchange Act Section 3C for a mandatory clearing determination of any security-based swap, or group, category, type or class of security-based swaps, that a clearing agency plans to accept for clearing, and advance notices required under Section 806(e) of proposed changes to rules, procedures or operations of financial market utilities be filed with the Commission on Form 19b-4. Exchange Act Section 3C also contains collection of information requirements in connection with applications to stay the mandatory clearing requirement.
