September 25, 2025.
    On August 29, 2025, the Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the 
proposed rule change SR-OCC-2025-013, pursuant to Section 19(b) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 
\2\ thereunder, to permit OCC to account for the cash payment OCC could 
make to the National Securities Clearing Corporation following the 
default of a common clearing participant that is attributable only to 
OCC-related activity in OCC's liquidity stress testing.\3\ The proposed 
rule change was published for public comment in the Federal Register on 
September 15, 2025.\4\ The Commission has received no public comment 
supporting the proposed rule change.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act \5\ 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 is
