SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-105619; File No. SR-ICC-2026-005]


Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Notice of 
Filing of Proposed Rule Change Relating to the Treasury Clearing 
Service Initial Margin Approach Model Description Document, Treasury 
Clearing Service Guaranty Fund and Stress Test Approach Model 
Description Document, and Treasury Clearing Service Risk Parameter 
Setting and Review Policy

June 5, 2026.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1) and Rule 19b-4, 17 CFR 240.19b-4, notice is 
hereby given that on May 28, 2026, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'' or 
``ICE Clear Credit'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change, security-based swap 
submission, or advance notice as described in Items I, II and III 
below, which Items have been prepared by ICC. The Commission is 
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, 
security-based swap submission, or advance notice from interested 
persons.

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the 
Proposed Rule Change

    The principal purpose of the proposed rule change is to revise 
certain documentation governing ICC's U.S. Treasury (``Treasury'') 
clearing service (the ``Treasury Clearing Service''), including the 
Treasury Clearing Service Initial Margin (``IM'') Approach Model 
Description Document (``IM Approach Model Description''), Treasury 
Clearing Service Guaranty Fund (``GF'') and Stress Test Approach Model 
Description Document (``GF and Stress Test Approach Model 
Description''), and Treasury Clearing Service Risk Parameter Setting 
and Review Policy (``Risk Parameter Policy''). Such policies and 
procedures are collectively referred to as the ``Treasury Clearing 
Service Risk Documentation'' herein.

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis 
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, ICC included statements 
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change, 
security-based swap submission, or advance notice and discussed any 
comments it received on the proposed rule change, security-based swap 
submission, or advance notice. The text of these statements may be 
examined at the places specified in Item IV below. ICC has prepared 
summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of the most 
significant aspects of these statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis 
for, the Proposed Rule Change

(a) Purpose
    ICC proposes changes to the Treasury Clearing Service Risk 
Documentation. As background, ICC filed an application on Form CA-1 
(``Application'') under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 (the ``Act'') \1\ with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission'') to register as a clearing agency to provide central 
counterparty services for transactions involving U.S. Treasury 
securities on August 1, 2025. Notice of ICC's Application was published 
in the Federal Register on August 21, 2025.\2\ The Application 
contained the Treasury Rules \3\ and certain other policies and 
procedures governing the Treasury Clearing Service, including the GF 
and Stress Test Approach Model Description, IM Approach Model 
Description, and Risk Parameter Policy. The Commission issued an order 
granting ICC's Application for registration as a clearing agency to 
provide central counterparty services for transactions involving U.S. 
Treasury securities on January 30, 2026.\4\

    ICC proposes to amend the Treasury Clearing Service Risk 
Documentation. The proposed changes generally respond to feedback 
received on the Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation and 
include clarifying amendments and other minor clean-up changes. ICC 
believes that such revisions will facilitate the prompt and accurate 
clearance and settlement of securities transactions. ICC proposes to 
make such changes effective following Commission approval of the 
proposed rule change. The proposed revisions are described in detail as 
follows.

[[Page 35287]]

Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation Overview
    ICC's risk management practices for the Treasury Clearing Service 
are documented in various policies and procedures, including the IM 
Approach Model Description, the GF and Stress Test Approach Model 
Description, and Risk Parameter Policy. The IM Approach Model 
Description sets forth the quantitative risk models and associated 
methods and techniques used to estimate IM requirements for cleared 
portfolios of Treasury related instruments. The GF and Stress Test 
Approach Model Description describes the general stress testing 
framework for GF computations developed by ICC for the Treasury 
Clearing Service and used for financial resources modeling and GF 
design. The Risk Parameter Policy describes the process of setting and 
reviewing the risk management model core parameters and their 
underlying assumptions for the Treasury Clearing Service, as described 
in the IM Approach Model Description and the GF and Stress Test 
Approach Model Description.
IM Approach Model Description
    As set out in the IM Approach Model Description, ICC's risk 
management modeling approach features computations of statistical IM 
risk measures and add-on requirements. In particular, ICC's risk 
management model for the Treasury Clearing Service includes a 
statistically calibrated U.S. interest rate (``IR'') dynamics component 
and liquidation risk add-ons. The IR dynamics component is the main 
component of the total portfolio IM requirements, which provides 
collateralization of potential losses in response to mark-to-market 
changes. Moreover, this statistically calibrated component reflects 
fluctuations in market observed quantities and their direct profit/loss 
impacts. The liquidation risk add-on components capture the losses 
associated with the liquidation process of cleared portfolios, informed 
from adverse effects of market frictions encountered during major 
market events. ICC does not propose substantive changes to the IM 
approach. The proposed changes generally respond to feedback received 
on the IM approach, including from an independent validator, and 
include clarifying amendments or other clean-up changes, as further 
described below.
    ICC proposes clarifications or clean-ups in Section I.1, which 
introduces the univariate distributions of IR changes used as part of 
ICC's IM methodology for the Treasury Clearing Service. ICC proposes 
edits to equations and terminology throughout this section. For 
clarity, ICC proposes an amendment to equation 4 to further simplify 
the equation without changing its substance. ICC proposes to amend the 
description of equation 6 to more clearly reflect that the equation 
describes a ``standardization'' rather than a ``normalization.''
    ICC proposes additional clarifications or clean-ups in Subsection 
I.1.i. With respect to parameter estimation, ICC proposes to amend 
equation 9 to more clearly set out the second line of the equation as 
well as the applicable ranges. Further edits and additional equation 
numbering are introduced to improve readability. In addition, ICC 
proposes clarifying language with respect to a specific parameter used 
as part of the IM methodology, namely the exponentially weighted moving 
average (``EWMA'') factor, including to specify that it is tenor-
specific and the quantity it represents.
    ICC proposes additional updates to Section I.2, which describes 
ICC's approach to the construction, estimation, and simulation of the 
dependence structure among the univariate distributions introduced in 
Section I.1. In Subsection I.2.ii, ICC proposes to correct a 
typographical error that references both the ``lower'' and ``upper'' 
coefficient between two variables where only one is applicable. In 
Subsection I.2.iv, ICC proposes to more specifically identify a 
parameter value and correct a typographical error in the description of 
equation 34 (previously equation 25). ICC also proposes additional 
edits to reflect how the model is currently parameterized with respect 
to the IR level floor considered for each tenor. The current language 
specifies that the floor level can be set to a negative value. As 
amended, ICC would specify that the floor level is set to a negative 
value.
    ICC proposes additional updates to Section I.3 related to risk 
estimations. ICC proposes to amend equation 40 (previously equation 
31), which describes how for every portfolio, the profit/loss response 
to positive and negative discount rate changes is incorporated in the 
IR dynamics component of IM requirements. In particular, ICC proposes 
to explicitly reference anti-procyclicality (``APC'') in this equation 
40 and in new equation 41. The IR dynamics component is enhanced with a 
stress-loss APC analysis, which provides additional stability of IM 
requirements. The aforementioned changes are intended to enhance 
clarity, improve transparency, and align the documentation more clearly 
with ICC's risk management methodology for the Treasury Clearing 
Service.
GF and Stress Test Approach
    The purpose of the GF and Stress Test Approach Model Description is 
to describe the general stress testing framework for GF computations 
used for financial resources modeling and GF design for the Treasury 
Clearing Service. ICC establishes a separate GF for the Treasury 
Clearing Service designed to provide mutualization of losses associated 
with extreme but plausible market scenarios where the considered stress 
losses exceed the collateralized losses corresponding to the IR 
dynamics component of the computed IM requirements. ICC utilizes 
statistical stress testing and scenario-based stress loss analysis 
techniques to estimate potential stress loss over IM for every 
portfolio. ICC does not propose substantive changes to the approach 
currently set out in the GF and Stress Test Approach Model Description. 
The proposed changes generally respond to feedback received on the GF 
and stress test approach, including from an independent validator, and 
include clarifications or other clean-up changes, as further described 
below.
    ICC proposes changes to Section I, which describes the GF and 
stress test methodology. The IR dynamics component is estimated as a 
function of the 99% Value-at-Risk (``VaR'') portfolio measure in 
response to a Monte Carlo simulated scenario set. ICC proposes 
clarifying language to note that, by convention, such VaR risk measures 
are associated with negative outcomes that will only be exceeded with a 
probability of 1%. This section also describes the two general types of 
portfolios considered by ICC in developing its risk management 
approach: Treasury Participant (``Participant'') proprietary/house 
portfolios and Customer Access Model portfolios, which consist of 
individual client-related portfolios. ICC proposes clarifying language 
to explain the rationale for the different approaches to the IM 
analyses and computations.
    ICC proposes additional changes to Section I.1, which sets out 
general concepts for purposes of the GF and Stress Test Approach Model 
Description. The current language describes the creation of a 
correlation regime and ICC proposes additional detail to describe the 
related Expected Shortfall risk measures, which represent the 
conditional expected values over the outcomes (related to the 
considered dependence structures) that are expected to be realized with 
a

[[Page 35288]]

probability of less than 1%. Additional edits correct typographical 
errors and clarify that equation 3 relates to statistical stress 
testing in respect of the VaR risk measure.
    ICC proposes additional edits to Section I.2, which describes 
certain Participant account estimations. For purposes of equation 4, 
ICC proposes to clarify that, if a simulated loss occurs, ICC applies 
the available VaR portion of the IR dynamics component, rather than IR 
dynamics component more broadly, to collateralize the loss. 
Additionally, ICC proposes to amend equation 5 and the accompanying 
description to indicate that the equation produces an expected value 
estimation. Relatedly, ICC proposes more specific language to clarify 
the resources that are considered to further support the conservative 
bias of the estimation.
    Finally, ICC proposes additional changes to Section I.4 to amend 
the minimum GF contribution from $20 million to $10 million to ensure 
consistency with the proposed changes described in ICC Filing No. SR-
ICC-2026-002.\5\

2026), 91 FR 30751 (May 26, 2026) (File No. SR-ICC-2026-002).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risk Parameter Policy
    The Risk Parameter Policy describes the process of setting and 
reviewing the risk management model core parameters and their 
underlying assumptions for the Treasury Clearing Service. The Risk 
Parameter Policy also describes the tools and methods used to estimate 
core parameters, determine appropriate parameter settings, and review 
the IM and GF model assumptions. The proposed changes generally respond 
to feedback received on ICC's approach and include clarifications or 
clean-up changes, as further described below.
    ICC proposes to update Table 1 in Section 1 that lists core model 
parameters and parameter related information. The proposed changes 
specify that the EWMA factor parameter is tenor-specific and include a 
new tenor specific minimum rate level parameter, which is further 
described in proposed Section 2.7 and is associated with the IR 
dynamics component.
    ICC proposes amendments to Section 1.4, which describes the 
parameters associated with the IR dynamics approach. Pursuant to 
Subsection 1.4.1, the ICC Risk Management Department performs 
sensitivity analyses on certain univariate IR dynamics parameters at 
least monthly. The current language specifies that the sensitivity 
analyses are performed by introducing (1) different parameter 
calibration methods for certain parameters and estimations and (2) 
different values for the EWMA factor. ICC proposes reversing the order 
of these items in Section 1.4 and Section 2. Additionally, in 
Subsection 1.4.3, ICC proposes to update the portfolio notation (i.e., 
``[Pi]'' instead of ``P'') in equation 2 to align with such notation 
used throughout the Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation.
    Section 2 explores the sensitivity of the Treasury Clearing Service 
risk management system's outputs to certain core parameters and 
alternative data analysis and model parameter estimation techniques. 
ICC proposes changes to Section 2.1 (previously Section 2.2), which 
describes the sensitivity analyses performed by introducing different 
values for the EWMA factor. Currently, ICC sets the EWMA factor at a 
defined value and re-estimates certain parameters and levels for two 
alternative EWMA factors. Under the amended language, ICC maintains the 
EWMA factors as tenor-specific parameters to address volatility 
clustering for each tenor and to maintain the adaptiveness of the IM 
requirements to market conditions while preserving the stability of 
those requirements. New appendix 3 contains a set of initial tenor-
specific EWMA factors. The amended language states that ICC performs 
time series devolatilization and subsequent estimations for IR 
increases and decreases for two alternative sets of EWMA factors in 
addition to the current set of tenor-specific EWMA factors. Proposed 
figures illustrate initial and devolatilized IR changes to show the 
effect of devolatilization. Additional proposed language supports the 
use of such EWMA process over an alternative statistical process (i.e., 
the Generalized Auto-Regressive Conditional Heteroscedastic or 
``GARCH'' process) described in the following section. As noted under 
the current language, the impact of the alternative EWMA factors is 
expected to be small. ICC proposes corresponding changes to Table 2, 
which sets out the related sensitivity analysis scenarios, to ensure 
consistency across the document.
    ICC proposes amendments to Section 2.2 (previously Section 2.1). 
ICC proposes to update the section title to more specifically reference 
the univariate model. This section title would be updated from 
``Alternative Models for Fitting Distributions to Observed Data'' to 
``Alternative Univariate Models.'' The current language describes the 
current EWMA process used as part of the IR dynamics model and the 
alternative GARCH process, along with the associated statistical 
techniques used for parameter estimation. ICC proposes updates to this 
section to clarify that such processes and parameter estimation 
techniques are not interchangeable, and such processes and techniques 
are grouped accordingly in amended Table 2. For clarity, additional 
language updates align with the updated section title by referring to 
the ``alternatively estimated univariate model,'' rather than 
alternatively estimated parameters and risk scales. Further edits 
enhance clarity by referring to ``rate changes'' to clarify what ICC is 
deriving or estimating and discuss the utilization of alternative time 
series devolatilization.
    ICC proposes additional edits to Sections 2 and 4. ICC proposes to 
update the quantile levels used for a sensitivity analysis in Section 
2.4 and Table 2. ICC proposes terminology updates to replace ``shifts'' 
or ``shifting'' with more specific language, including ``regime 
changes'' and ``switching'' in Section 2.5 and Table 2. ICC proposes to 
define a reference to volatility shifts as certain regime changes and 
to add commas where appropriate in Section 2.5. ICC proposes new 
Section 2.7 to discuss the minimum rate levels that are considered for 
each Treasury constant maturity tenor, with the corresponding values 
documented in a new appendix to the document. Finally, ICC proposes 
changes to Section 5 to set out the proposed appendices mentioned above 
and clarifications to note which scenarios and tables are expressed in 
basis points.
(b) Statutory Basis
    ICC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the 
requirements of Section 17A of the Act \6\ and the regulations 
thereunder applicable to it, including the applicable standards under 
Rule 17Ad-22.\7\ In particular, Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \8\ 
requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be 
designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of 
securities transactions, to assure the safeguarding of securities and 
funds in the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it 
is responsible, and to protect investors and the public interest.

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

    As described above, the proposed changes generally respond to 
feedback received on the Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation 
and include clarifying amendments and

[[Page 35289]]

other minor clean-up changes. Such changes promote readability and 
clarity with respect to ICC's risk management modeling approach; 
general stress testing framework for GF computations, financial 
resources modeling and GF design; and the process for setting and 
reviewing the risk management model core parameters and their 
underlying assumptions to ensure that the documentation remains up-to-
date, clear and transparent to support the effectiveness of ICC's risk 
management for the Treasury Clearing Service. For example, among other 
changes, ICC proposes to simplify or clarify equations, more 
specifically identify a parameter value, and update language describing 
how the model is currently parameterized in the IM Approach Model 
Description. Additional proposed language in the GF and Stress Test 
Approach Model Description describes the rationale for different 
approaches to the IM analyses and computations and clarifies which 
portion of the IR dynamics component is applied to collateralize a 
loss. The updates to the Risk Parameter Policy revise the descriptions 
of the sensitivity analyses performed by ICC, including to introduce a 
new appendix containing a set of initial tenor-specific EWMA factors, 
provide support for the use of ICC's EWMA process, and clarify that 
certain processes and parameter estimation techniques are not 
interchangeable. Moreover, as described above, the proposed changes 
address independent validation recommendations and enhance the 
readability and transparency of the Treasury Clearing Service Risk 
Documentation, which would strengthen the methodology and risk 
management practices, which would in turn strengthen ICC's ability to 
maintain its financial resources and withstand the pressures of 
defaults. Accordingly, in ICC's view, the proposed rule change is 
designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of 
the contracts cleared at ICC, to assure the safeguarding of securities 
and funds in the custody or control of ICC or for which it is 
responsible, and to protect investors and the public interest, within 
the meaning of Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\9\

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v) \10\ requires each covered clearing 
agency to establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written policies 
and procedures reasonably designed to provide for governance 
arrangements that are clear and transparent and specify clear and 
direct lines of responsibility. The Treasury Clearing Service Risk 
Documentation clearly assigns and documents responsibility and 
accountability for key risk management functions to relevant 
departments or groups, including the estimation and review of the model 
core parameters and the performance of sensitivity analysis. The 
proposed changes more clearly set out such key risk management 
functions to ensure that responsible parties appropriately carry out 
their assigned duties. As such, in ICC's view, the proposed rule change 
continues to ensure that ICC maintains policies and procedures that are 
reasonably designed to provide for clear and transparent governance 
arrangements and specify clear and direct lines of responsibility, 
consistent with Rule 17Ad-22(e)(2)(i) and (v).\11\

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(4)(iii) and (vi) \12\ requires each covered 
clearing agency to establish, implement, maintain, and enforce written 
policies and procedures reasonably designed to effectively identify, 
measure, monitor, and manage its credit exposures to participants and 
those arising from its payment, clearing, and settlement processes, 
including by maintaining additional financial resources at the minimum 
to enable it to cover a wide range of foreseeable stress scenarios that 
include, but are not limited to, the default of the participant family 
that would potentially cause the largest aggregate credit exposure for 
the covered clearing agency in extreme but plausible market conditions, 
and by testing the sufficiency of its total financial resources 
available to meet the minimum financial resource requirements, 
including by conducting stress testing of its total financial resources 
once each day using standard predetermined parameters and assumptions; 
conducting a comprehensive analysis on at least a monthly basis of the 
existing stress testing scenarios, models, and underlying parameters 
and assumptions; and reporting the results of its analyses to 
appropriate decision makers at ICC. The proposed changes promote the 
soundness of ICC's risk management approach for the Treasury Clearing 
Service by more clearly setting forth the quantitative risk models and 
associated methods and techniques used to estimate IM requirements for 
cleared portfolios of Treasury related instruments. As amended, the GF 
and Stress Test Approach Model Description more clearly describes the 
general stress testing framework for GF computations. The amended Risk 
Parameter Policy more clearly describes the process of setting and 
reviewing the risk management model core parameters and their 
underlying assumptions for the Treasury Clearing Service and the 
performance the sensitivity analyses, including the sensitivity of the 
Treasury Clearing Service risk management system's outputs to certain 
core parameters and alternative data analysis and model parameter 
estimation techniques. Moreover, under the changes, the GF would 
continue to provide adequate funds to cover losses in accordance with 
regulatory requirements and would continue to support a significant 
liquidity pool in case of liquidity events. ICC will continue to size 
the GF to provide financial resources based on Cover-2 regulatory 
standards. ICC believes that the proposed rule change addresses 
independent validation recommendations and enhances the readability and 
transparency of the Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation, which 
would strengthen the methodology and documentation and ensure it 
remains up-to-date, clear and transparent. As such, the proposed 
amendments would strengthen ICC's ability to maintain its financial 
resources and withstand the pressures of defaults. ICC thus believes 
the proposed rule change meets the requirements of Rule 17Ad-
22(e)(4)(iii) and (vi).\13\

    Rule 17Ad-22(e)(6)(i) \14\ requires ICC to establish, implement, 
maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably 
designed to cover its credit exposures to its participants by 
establishing a risk-based margin system that, at a minimum, considers, 
and produces margin levels commensurate with, the risks and particular 
attributes of each relevant product, portfolio, and market. The 
proposed clarifications would further promote clarity and transparency 
in the Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation, including in the 
Risk Parameter Policy. In ICC's view, the proposed changes thus enhance 
and strengthen ICC's process for reviewing and setting the model core 
parameters, which in turn serves to promote the soundness of ICC's risk 
management model and system, which will continue to consider and 
produce margin levels commensurate with the risks and particular 
attributes of each relevant product, portfolio, and market,

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    ICC does not believe the proposed rule change would have any 
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The proposed changes to 
the Treasury Clearing Service Risk Documentation will apply uniformly 
across all market participants. ICC does not believe these amendments 
would affect the costs of clearing or the ability of market 
participants to access clearing. Therefore, ICC does not believe the 
proposed rule change would impose any burden on competition that is 
inappropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

(C) Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change 
Received From Members, Participants or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been 
solicited or received. ICC will notify the Commission of any written 
comments received by ICC.
