Covered Clearing Agency Resilience and Recovery and Wind-Down Plans

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) is adopting amendments to certain rules in the Covered Clearing Agency Standards (“CCA Standards”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The amendments strengthen existing rules by adding new requirements related to the collection of intraday margin by a covered clearing agency (“CCA”) and the use of substantive inputs in its risk-based margin system. The Commission is also adopting a new rule to establish required elements of a CCA’s recovery and orderly wind-down plan (“RWP”).
