Rule 17a-22, Supplemental Material of Registered Clearing Agencies

Registered clearing agencies must send the Commission copies of materials the clearing agency distributes or makes generally available to its participants and other business contacts. Rule 17a-22 (17 CFR 240.17a-22) enables the Commission to stay informed about the clearing agency's activities and enhances the Commission's monitoring of the clearing agency's compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable regulations. 2025 PARTIAL REVISION: The Commission has amended Rule 17a-22 to: (i) replace the requirement to file supplementary materials with the Commission or an ARA in paper form with a requirement to post such materials on the clearing agency's internet website; and (ii) reduce the timeframe for compliance with the rule from 10 days to 2 business days for the posting requirement. Rule 17a-22 enables the Commission's monitoring of the clearing agency's compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and applicable regulations. The Commission does not estimate that there would be any changes in the burdens as a result of these amendments.
