Daily monitoring of clearing operations
ICC clarified in Section 2.E. that its Operations Department monitors operational detail supporting the clearing cycle daily. This is a documentation/clarification change to the Counterparty Monitoring Procedures that became immediately effective on June 5, 2025.
Governance cleanup: subcommittee reference removed
ICC removed an outdated reference to the ICC Risk Management Subcommittee from Section 3.A., so decisions on Clearing House membership are described as made by the Board following consultation with the ICC Risk Committee. This clean-up change to the Counterparty Monitoring Procedures became immediately effective on June 5, 2025 and does not change the ICC Clearing Rules.
Clarifications impose no new costs
ICC states the revisions are clarifications or clean-up changes that apply uniformly across all market participants and do not affect the costs of clearing or the ability of market participants to access clearing. The filing was immediately effective on June 5, 2025 and the Commission invited comments through July 11, 2025.
