II. Background
Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently
submitted a request for renewal of an
existing collection of information to
OMB for review entitled, ‘‘10 CFR part
74, Material Control and Accounting of
Special Nuclear Material.’’ The NRC
hereby informs potential respondents
that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and that a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
August 19, 2020, 85 FR 51070.
1. The title of the information
collection: ‘‘10 CFR part 74, Material
Control and Accounting of Special
Nuclear Material.’’
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0123.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number if applicable: Not
applicable.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: Submission of
fundamental nuclear material control
plans is a one-time requirement which
has been completed by all current
licensees as required. However,
licensees may submit amendments or
revisions to the plans as necessary.
Reports are submitted as events occur.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: Persons licensed under Part 70
of title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), who possess and
use certain forms and quantities of
special nuclear material (SNM).
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 174 (17 reporting responses +
157 recordkeepers).
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 157.
9. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to comply with
the information collection requirement
or request: 8,909 (669 hours reporting +
8,240 hours recordkeeping).
10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 74
establishes requirements for material
control and accounting of SNM, and
specific performance-based regulations
for licensees authorized to possess, use,
and produced strategic SNM, and SNM
of moderate strategic significance and
low strategic significance. The
information is used by the NRC to make
licensing and regulatory determinations
concerning material control of SNM and
to satisfy obligations of the United

Notice of Filings and Immediate
Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Changes To Amend the Clearing

December 11, 2020.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’)
1
and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,
2
notice is hereby given that on November
30, 2020, The Depository Trust
Company (‘‘DTC’’), Fixed Income
Clearing Corporation (‘‘FICC’’), and
National Securities Clearing Corporation
(‘‘NSCC,’’ and collectively, the
‘‘Clearing Agencies’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
changes as described in Items I, II and
III below, which Items have been
primarily prepared by the Clearing
Agencies. The Clearing Agencies filed
the proposed rule changes pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act
3
and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.
4
The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
changes from interested persons.
I. Clearing Agencies’ Statement of the
Terms of Substance of the Proposed
Rule Changes
The proposed rule changes consist of
amendments to the Clearing Agency
Liquidity Risk Management Framework
(‘‘Framework’’) of the Clearing
Agencies. Specifically, the proposed
rule changes would (1) reflect that a
stress testing team (‘‘Stress Testing
Team’’) has taken over certain
responsibilities related to liquidity risk
management; (2) simplify the
description of the FICC qualifying
liquidity resources, which are identical
for each of its divisions; (3) reflect the
inclusion of the proceeds of NSCC’s
issuance and private placement of term
debt as an additional NSCC liquidity
resource; (4) revise the description of
NSCC’s supplemental liquidity deposits
to allow for future revisions to this
requirement; (5) reflect the
reclassification of a stress scenario that
assumes the default of multiple
participants as an informational stress
scenario; and (6) make other revisions in
order to clarify and simplify the
descriptions within the Framework, as
further described below.
II. Clearing Agencies’ Statement of the
Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule Changes
In their filings with the Commission,
the Clearing Agencies included
statements concerning the purpose of
and basis for the proposed rule changes
and discussed any comments they
received on the proposed rule changes.
The text of these statements may be
examined at the places specified in Item
IV below. The Clearing Agencies have
prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant aspects of such statements.
(A) Clearing Agencies’ Statement of the
Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule Changes
1. Purpose
The Clearing Agencies adopted the
Framework
5
to set forth the manner in
which they measure, monitor and
manage the liquidity risks that arise in
or are borne by each of the Clearing
Agencies, including (i) the manner in
which each of the Clearing Agencies
deploy their respective liquidity tools to
meet their settlement obligations on an
ongoing and timely basis, and (ii) each
applicable Clearing Agencies’ use of
intraday liquidity.
6
In this way, the
Framework describes the liquidity risk
management of each of the Clearing
Agencies and how the Clearing
Agencies meet the applicable
requirements of Rule 17Ad–22(e)(7).
7
The Clearing Agencies are proposing
changes to the Framework that would
update, clarify and simplify the
descriptions, but would not make any
substantive revisions to how the
Clearing Agencies manage their
liquidity risks and comply with the
applicable regulatory requirements.
More specifically, the proposed changes
would (1) reflect that the Stress Testing
