The Commission is adopting several new rules that would set standards for the operation and governance of âcovered clearing agenciesâ (which consist of designated clearing agencies, clearing agencies involved in activities with a more complex risk profile for which the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is not the Supervisory Agency, and any clearing agency determined to be a covered clearing agency by the Commission.
Specifically, the Commission is adopting amendments to Rule 17Ad-22 in the form of paragraphs (e)(1) through (e)(23) to require covered clearing agencies to establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures designed to promote effective risk management procedures and controls as well as meet the statutory requirements under the Exchange Act on an ongoing basis.

With the adoption of new Rule 17Ad-22(e), the PRA burdens associated with portions of Rule 17Ad-22 (d) have been reduced to reflect a decrease in the number of respondents that will be subject to the provisions of those rules. The Commission believes that seven respondent clearing agencies will be subject to the PRA burdens associated with Rule 17Ad-22(e). Prior to the adoption of Rule 17Ad-22(e), these seven respondent clearing agencies were subject to the PRA burdens associated with Rule 17Ad-22(d). As a result, the Commission believes that only four respondent clearing agencies will remain subject to the PRA burdens of certain portions of Rule 17Ad-22 (d) and estimates aggregate burdens have been adjusted accordingly.
