Federal Register / Vol. 91, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 28, 2026 / Notices

Clearing Members can only include the
Item 13 debit where they deposit with
CCUS the full amount of margin
required for all binary options contracts
written or purchased in customer
accounts. Further, this condition will
ensure the permitted debit under Item
13 will remain limited to the same
scope of assets that are permissible to
use as collateral delivered to the OCC
under Note F to Rule 15c3–3a, to remain
consistent with established customer
protections under the rule.
The sixth condition states that the
rules of CCUS must have been amended,
as necessary to reflect the conditions of
this order. This condition is designed to
require that Clearing Members may only
include an Item 13 debit in their reserve
computations pursuant to this order
where the rules of CCUS have been
amended to conform to the conditions
of this exemptive order. This will also
ensure that the rules of CCUS that are
amended in accordance with the
conditions of this order adequately
implement the customer protection
objectives of Rule 15c3–3 and Rule
15c3–3a.
For the reasons discussed above, the
Commission finds that granting Clearing
Members conditional exemptive relief
from the limitation in Item 13 and Note
F to Rule 15c3–3a that confines the Item
13 debit to the amount of margin
required and on deposit with the OCC
for all option contracts written or
purchased in customer accounts is
appropriate in the public interest, and
consistent with the protection of
investors.

deposit with CCUS with respect to
customer positions in binary options.
3. Margined Customer Positions: The
binary options that CCUS clears will be
margined by CCUS consistent with the
requirements of Rule 17Ad–22(e) 40 and
Clearing Members will collect such
margin from their customers, with any
proposed changes to CCUS’s margin
system subject to Commission review,
and, as appropriate, approval pursuant
to section 19(b) 41 of the Exchange Act
and Rule 19b–4 42 thereunder.
4. Segregation of Customer Margin:
For purposes of Rule 15c3–3a, CCUS
will maintain margin required and on
deposit with CCUS for binary options
contracts written or purchased in
customer accounts separately and
independently from margin required
and on deposit for proprietary positions
of Clearing Members.
5. The relief would be subject to the
same conditions set forth in Note F to
Item 13 of Rule 15c3–3a that apply to
margin required and on deposit with
OCC for all option contracts written or
purchased in customer accounts.
6. The rules of CCUS must have been
amended to reflect the conditions of this
order.

III. Conclusion
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered
pursuant to section 36(a)(1) of the
Exchange Act, Clearing Members are
exempt from the limitation in Item 13
and Note F of Rule 15c3–3a that
confines the Item 13 debit to the amount
of margin required and on deposit with
the OCC for all option contracts written
or purchased in customer accounts, and
as such, Clearing Members may include
a debit in Item 13 of their customer and
PAB reserve computations for margin
required and on deposit with CCUS for
all binary options contracts written or
purchased in customer accounts, subject
to the following conditions:
1. Registration: CCUS is registered
with the Commission as a clearing
agency in accordance with section
17A(b) 38 of the Exchange Act and Rule
17ab2–1 39 thereunder.
2. Eligibility Limitation: The relief will
apply solely to margin required and on

conditions pursuant to Rule 433 will be
a prospectus under Section 10(b) of the
Securities Act and will be deemed to be
public without regard to its method of
use or distribution. Rule 433 is intended
to facilitate issuer communications
during a registered offering of securities
after a registration statement has been
filed with the Commission. The
information filed under Rule 433 is
mandatory, and filings made pursuant
to Rule 433 are publicly available on the
Commission’s Electronic Data
Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval
(‘‘EDGAR’’) system. We estimate that
there are approximately 20,179 free
writing prospectuses filed pursuant to
Rule 433 annually, for a total of
approximately 20,179 responses
annually. We estimate that respondents
incur approximately 2.45 burden hours
per Rule 433 response, for a total annual
reporting burden of 49,439 hours (2.45
hours per response × 20,179 responses).
We estimate that respondents incur
$380.03 cost burden per Rule 433
response, for a total annual cost of
$7,668,625 ($380.03 cost per response ×
20,179 responses).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
