Abstract: The Commission is adopting a new rule that would establish procedures for the Commission to make a determination, either of its own initiative or upon application by any clearing agency or member of a clearing agency, whether a covered clearing agency should be considered systemically important in multiple jurisdictions and for the Commission to determine whether any of the activities of a clearing agency providing central counterparty services have a more complex risk profile.
