Request from NYPC for Order Permitting Cross Margining for Market Professionals

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission) is requesting public comment on a petition submitted by New York Portfolio Clearing, LLC (NYPC), a registered derivatives clearing organization, for an order pursuant to Section 4d(a)(2) of the Commodity Exchange Act (Act).  The petition requests an order that would permit NYPC to expand its existing one-pot cross-margining program with Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (FICC) to include positions and related money, securities and property held by NYPC clearing members and clearing members of FICC’s Government Securities Division for participating “market professionals.”
