Taken together, the Commission believes that the terms of the agreement to protect OCC and its counterparties, combined with the reduced likelihood of OCC's failure to manage a default, would in fact promote the safety and soundness of the U.S. markets. Under OCC's existing Non-Bank Liquidity Facility program, OCC maintains a series of arrangements to access cash in exchange for Government securities (“Eligible Securities”) deposited by Clearing Members in respect of their Clearing Fund requirements to meet OCC's settlement obligations. Currently, the aggregate amount OCC may seek through the Non-Bank Liquidity Facility program is limited to $1 billion. Through this Advance Notice, OCC is proposing to remove the $1 billion funding limit and increase the capacity of its Non-Bank Liquidity Facility to an amount to be determined by OCC's Board from time to time, based on OCC's liquidity needs at the time and a number of other factors. Instead of retaining the $1 billion funding limit for the Non-Bank Liquidity Facility program, OCC proposes to establish a target across all external liquidity resources of at least $3 billion, which is the current aggregate amount of external liquidity. OCC is not, as part of this Advance Notice, requiring its members or other market participants to provide additional or different collateral to OCC.
