Abstract: Rule 17Ad-22 establishes minimum standards for the governance, operations, and risk management of registered clearing agencies and "covered clearing agencies" (which are registered clearing agencies that provide central counterparty or central securities depository services). Specifically, Rule 17Ad-22(e) includes requirements for covered clearing agencies, as defined in Rule 17Ad-22(a)(5); Rule 17Ad-22(d) includes requirements for all registered clearing agencies that are not covered clearing agencies; and Rules 17Ad-22(b) and (c) include certain other requirements for registered clearing agencies that perform central counterparty services. This submission is a revision of the previous approved collection. This submission adds two new information collections (“IC – 55 17Ad-22(e)(6) (Enhanced Margin)” and “IC – 56 17Ad-22(e)(6) (Enhanced Margin RNR)”) to the previously approved collection. This submission makes no other changes to the previous approved collection.
