On August 25, 2016, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (“FICC”), and National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”, and together with DTC and FICC, the “Clearing Agencies”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) proposed rule changes SR-DTC-2016-007, SR-FICC-2016-005, and SR-NSCC-2016-003 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”), 1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, 2 to adopt the Clearing Agency Investment Policy, which governs the investment of funds of the Clearing Agencies.
The proposed rule changes were published for comment in the **Federal Register** on September 13, 2016. 3 To date, the Commission has not received any comments on the proposed rule changes. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 3 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78778 (September 7, 2016), 81 FR 62963 (September 13, 2016) (SR-DTC-2016-007; SR-FICC-2016-005; SR-NSCC-2016-003). Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides that, within 45 days of the publication of notice of the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days as the Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.
The 45th day after publication of the notice for these proposed rule changes is October 28, 2016. The Commission is extending this 45-day time period. 4 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
