Proposed Rule Change

    (a) The proposed rule change of NSCC is annexed [sic] hereto as 
Exhibit 5 and consists of modifications to Rule 57 and Addendum A of 
NSCC's Rules & Procedures (``Rules'') in order to (i) decommission the 
Insurance Profile service, (ii) adjust the fees for the Insurance 
Information Exchange service (``IIEX'') to (a) provide for fees for 
product data that is being moved from Insurance Profile to IIEX and (b)

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

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the clearing agency included 
statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule 
change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule 
change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places 
specified in Item IV below. The clearing agency has prepared summaries, 
set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant 
aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    NSCC is proposing to move the processing of certain product data 
that is currently being processed through Insurance Profile to IIEX and 
decommission Insurance Profile. Following the proposed changes, product 
data that is currently being processed through Insurance Profile will 
be processed through IIEX. The fees for the use of IIEX for processing 
of such product data will be moved to IIEX in Addendum A of the Rules 
but will remain the same as the fees currently charged for the 
processing of such product data through Insurance Profile.
    NSCC is also proposing to remove fees for service providers using 
IIEX for policy data and proposing to add fees for service providers 
using IIEX for product data.
    Finally, NSCC is proposing to correct incorrect references to 
``IPS'' and ``IPS Data'' in the Rules.
    The proposed changes would not have a substantial impact on I&RS 
Members (as defined below). I&RS Members would use IIEX rather than 
Insurance Profile to process product data, but the fees for processing 
such product data would not change. Following the proposed changes, 
service providers would be charged for processing product data using 
IIEX but would not be charged for processing policy data through IIEX.
(a) Background
    Insurance and Retirement Processing Services (``I&RS'') provides 
for transmission of I&RS Data,\7\ including annuity and life insurance 
policy applications and premiums, licensing and appointments, fees and 
expenses, commission payments, reporting of client positions and 
valuations, asset pricing, financial activity reporting and annuity 
customer account transfers. Entities that use I&RS services include

[[Page 40568]]

(i) insurance companies that are Insurance Carrier/Retirement Services 
Members (``Carriers''); and (ii) Carriers' intermediaries, such as 
broker-dealers, banks and insurance agencies, that are Members, Mutual 
Fund/Insurance Services Members and Data Services Only Members that 
distribute participating Carriers' insurance products (collectively, 
``Distributors,'' and, together with ``Carriers,'' collectively 
referred to herein as ``I&RS Members''). The aim of I&RS is to automate 
and provide seamless end-to-end communication between Carriers, 
Distributors and their service providers for the sale, processing and 
money settlement of insurance and annuity products nationwide.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ I&RS Data is data and information relating to I&RS Eligible 
Products. Section 1.(a) of Rule 57, supra note 6. An ``I&RS Eligible 
Product'' means insurance products, retirement or other benefit 
plans or programs that are identified by NSCC as eligible for 
processing through its I&RS. See Definition of I&RS Eligible 
Product, Rule 1 and Section 1.(d) of Rule 3, id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I&RS Data can be categorized generally into three types of data: 
product data, policy data and producer data. Product data is general 
public data relating to products that are being issued by Carriers, 
such as fees and expenses for specific policies and commission schedule 
data \8\ relating to the products. Policy data is data relating to 
specific insurance and annuity policies that have been issued to 
clients based on those products, such as the names and identifying 
information of the parties to the contract (i.e., owner, insured, 
beneficiary), policy value, certain features of the policies that were 
issued, the names of the licensed agents that are authorized to sell 
such policies (i.e., the ``producers'') and the type of policy (e.g., 
annuity, life insurance policy, etc.). Producer data is information 
relating to the producers that are authorized to sell the products such 
as which producers have been appointed to sell particular products and 
where the producers are licensed to sell the products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Carriers disclose commissions that are paid to producers for 
sales of particular products. The commissions are disclosed in 
commission schedules that list the particular products and 
commissions that are associated with the products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Insurance Profile/IIEX
    Insurance Profile was launched in 2017 to enable annuities 
Distributors to access fee, expense and commission schedule data (``Fee 
Data'') from Carriers which is product data.\9\ The service is a data 
repository that allows I&RS Members to access and exchange Fee Data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80404 (April 7, 
2017), 82 FR 17916 (April 13, 2017) (SR-NSCC-2017-003) (``Insurance 
Profile Filing''). See also Rule 57, Section 10, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IIEX was launched in 2020 to enable I&RS Members and service 
providers to access and exchange I&RS Data.\10\ IIEX is also a data 
repository but was built on a different platform than Insurance Profile 
and was not limited to processing Fee Data.\11\ In addition, IIEX was 
built to be accessible by an Application Programming Interface 
(``API'') specifically for use with IIEX and is available to service 
providers.\12\ Although the Rules provide that IIEX is available to 
transmit, view and retrieve I&RS Data, currently IIEX has been used 
only to process I&RS Data that is policy data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 90092 (October 5, 
2020), 85 FR 64182 (October 9, 2020) (SR-NSCC-2020-017) (``IIEX 
Filing''). See also Rule 57, Section 11, supra note 6.

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

    NSCC would like to use the IIEX platform to process the Fee Data 
that is currently being processed through Insurance Profile because it 
is inefficient to continue to have two data repositories. IIEX is a 
newer platform that is API-enabled. NSCC believes that consolidating 
the data repository services onto one platform will be more efficient 
because I&RS Members will only need to sign into one platform rather 
than two. Using IIEX alone rather than continuing to use Insurance 
Profile would create a better user experience, take advantage of newer 
and better technology, such as the API-enabled platform and updated 
user interfaces that enhance the user experience by, among other 
things, offering a single-entry point into upgraded, standardized data 
screens and client flexibility in determining level of authorization to 
access. In addition, IIEX has been designed to include an architecture 
modernization by developing reusable components to be used across I&RS 
applications. Discontinuing Insurance Profile would also eliminate 
unnecessary regression and other system testing that is required if 
Insurance Profile maintained as a separate platform.
    Once the Fee Data is processed through IIEX, the Insurance Profile 
platform would no longer be used to process data. Therefore, NSCC is 
proposing to decommission Insurance Profile. NSCC would process all Fee 
Data on the IIEX platform beginning on June 30, 2022. NSCC would not 
change the fees that it is currently charging I&RS Members to access 
and exchange the Fee Data through Insurance Profile once such data is 
moved to the IIEX platform. NSCC would provide updates to I&RS Members 
on the timing of the proposed changes by Important Notice.
(c) IIEX and Service Providers
    IIEX was developed to allow service providers that were authorized 
by I&RS Members to access IIEX through APIs.\13\ Addendum A provides a 
fee schedule for service providers that use IIEX and Rule 57 provides 
that service providers that gain access to IIEX will be required to 
enter into an agreement which will include an agreement to pay the fees 
set forth in the Rules.\14\ Since the inception of IIEX, however, no 
services providers have agreed to sign up for IIEX and pay the fees. 
NSCC would like to encourage service providers to access IIEX because 
NSCC believes that when service providers use this IIEX, more I&RS 
Members would also use the service as counterparties to those service 
providers. Therefore, NSCC is proposing to remove the fees for service 
providers to use IIEX for transmitting policy data that is currently 
processed through IIEX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id.
    \14\ See Section IV.H.2.j of Addendum A of the Rules and Rule 
57, Section 11, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Currently, the Fee Data that is accessible through Insurance 
Profile is only available to I&RS Members and not to service providers. 
NSCC would like to also provide service providers with access to IIEX 
to process this Fee Data as well. Product data is more general than 
policy data, which is limited to specific clients, and NSCC believes 
that service providers would be more likely to pay for the use of IIEX 
for such product data. Therefore, NSCC is proposing to require that 
service providers that use IIEX for product data pay the current fees 
for such service, including for the Fee Data that will be moved from 
Insurance Profile to be processed through IIEX.
(d) IIEX Product Data
    NSCC is proposing to identify the different categories for policy 
data and product data in the fee schedule in Addendum A of the Rules. 
Fees for processing the Fee Data, which is being moved from Insurance 
Profile to be processed through IIEX, would be placed under the product 
data category and fees for processing the existing policy data that is 
currently being processed through IIEX would be placed under the policy 
data category.
(e) I&RS and I&RS Data
    In the IIEX Filing, NSCC also amended the Rules to change the name 
of I&RS from Insurance and Retirement Processing Services to Insurance 
& Retirement Services in order to reflect the conventional use of the 
name of the service.\15\ To reflect the name change, NSCC also changed 
defined terms relating to the service from ``IPS'' to ``I&RS'' and from 
``IPS Data'' to ``I&RS

[[Page 40569]]

Data''.\16\ Rule 58 still contains an incorrect use of the defined 
terms IPS and IPS Data.\17\ Therefore, NSCC is proposing to correct the 
use of the defined terms ``IPS'' and ``IPS Data'' in Rule 58 to 
``I&RS'' and ``I&RS Data'', respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See IIEX Filing, supra note 10.
    \16\ Id.
    \17\ See Section 2.(f) of Rule 58, supra note 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f) Proposed Rule Changes
(1) Remove Insurance Profile
    NSCC is proposing to remove Insurance Profile from Section 10 of 
Rule 57 and remove references to the fees for Insurance Profile from 
Section IV.H.2.i of Addendum A. NSCC would renumber Section 11 of Rule 
57 and Section IV.H.2.j of Addendum A to reflect the deletion of 
Section 10 of Rule 57 and Section IV.H.2.i of Addendum A.
(2) Adjust Fees for IIEX
    NSCC is proposing to move the fees for processing Fee Data 
currently in Insurance Profile to IIEX in proposed Section IV.H.2.i of 
Addendum A. NSCC would also add different categories of data in 
proposed Section IV.H.2.i of Addendum A with separate fees for policy 
data which would include the current IIEX fees, and product data which 
would include the fees currently in Insurance Profile with respect to 
Fee Data that would be moved to IIEX. With respect to the product data, 
NSCC would also add service providers to the list of entities that 
would have access in the proposed Section IV.H.2.i of Addendum A.
    To reflect that NSCC would stop charging fees for service providers 
to access policy data, as described above, but provide fees for service 
providers to access product data, NSCC would change proposed Section 10 
of Rule 57 to provide that the agreements with the service providers 
will include an agreement to pay the fees set forth in the Rules for 
product data for which service providers are required to pay a fee as 
set forth in the Rules. NSCC would also remove the fees for policy data 
for service providers in new proposed Section IV.H.2.i of Addendum A.
(3) Correct Defined Terms
    NSCC is proposing to correct two references of ``IPS Data'' to 
``I&RS Data'' and one reference of ``IPS'' to ``I&RS'' in Section 2.(f) 
of Rule 58 to reflect the correct defined terms.
(g) Expected Member/NSCC Impact
    The proposed changes would not have a substantial impact on I&RS 
Members. I&RS Members would use IIEX rather than Insurance Profile to 
process product data. IIEX would include the IIEX API which is not 
currently available for Insurance Profile. The fees for processing such 
product data would not change. Following the changes, service providers 
would be charged the same fees as I&RS Members for processing product 
data using IIEX but would not be charged for processing policy data 
through IIEX.
    The changes to use the correct terms ``I&RS'' and ``I&RS Data'' 
would have no impact on the I&RS Members except to enhance clarity and 
transparency of the Rules.
(h) Implementation Timeline
    NSCC would implement the removal of the fees for service providers 
for policy data in IIEX and the corrections to the defined terms in 
Rule 58 upon filing of the proposed rule changes.
    NSCC would implement the removal of Insurance Profile and movement 
of the fees from Insurance Profile to IIEX on June 30, 2022. As 
proposed, a legend would be added to Rule 57 and Addendum A stating 
there are changes that became effective upon filing with the Commission 
but have not yet been implemented. The proposed legend also would 
include June 30, 2022, as the date on which such changes would be 
implemented and the file number of this proposal, and state that, once 
this proposal is implemented, the legend would automatically be removed 
from Rule 57 and Addendum A.
2. Statutory Basis
    NSCC believes that the proposal is consistent with the requirements 
of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a 
registered clearing agency. In particular, NSCC believes that the 
proposed rule changes are consistent with Sections 17A(b)(3)(F) and (D) 
of the Act \18\ and Rule 17Ad-22(e)(21) promulgated under the Act.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F) and (D).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(e)(21).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act,\20\ requires, in part, that the 
Rules be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and 
settlement of securities transactions. The proposed changes to move the 
Fee Data from Insurance Profile to IIEX is consistent with this 
provision because such changes would enhance the ability of NSCC 
Members to access such data by using a more effective and user-friendly 
platform and by having access to APIs. In addition, NSCC believes that 
consolidating the data repository services onto one platform will be 
more efficient because I&RS Members will only need to sign into one 
platform rather than two. Also, removing the fees for service providers 
to access policy data and providing access to service providers for 
product data is expected to incentivize the use of IIEX by service 
providers which would have the effect of increasing the use by I&RS 
Members that are counterparties to the service providers. Providing a 
more efficient and streamlined process with respect to accessing such 
Fee Data and incentivizing the use of IIEX by service providers would 
promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities 
transactions by NSCC, consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the 
Act.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
    \21\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Removing Insurance Profile from the Rules, adding the categories 
for policy data and product data and correcting the defined terms 
``IPS'' and ``IPS Data'' to ``I&RS'' and ``I&RS Data'', respectively, 
are also consistent with 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\22\ Each of the 
proposed changes would enhance clarity and transparency for 
participants with respect to services offered by NSCC allowing I&RS 
Members to have a better understanding of the Rules relating to I&RS. 
Having clear and accurate Rules would help I&RS Members to better 
understand their rights and obligations regarding NSCC's services. NSCC 
believes that when I&RS Members better understand their rights and 
obligations regarding NSCC's services, they can act in accordance with 
the Rules. NSCC believes that better enabling I&RS Members to comply 
with the Rules would promote the prompt and accurate clearance and 
settlement of securities transactions by NSCC consistent with Section 
17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Id.

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

    Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act \24\ requires that the Rules 
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and 
other charges among its participants. NSCC believes that the proposed 
rule change to remove the fees for service providers to access policy 
data and to provide access to service providers to product data, and to 
add fees for such access, are consistent with this provision of the 
Act. NSCC believes the removal of fees for policy data would 
incentivize use of I&RS by services providers for policy data, which is 
not currently being utilized by service providers, and encourage use by 
I&RS Members. NSCC also believes that service providers are more likely 
access product data and to pay for such

[[Page 40570]]

product data, which is more general than policy data and could be used 
by service providers across multiple I&RS Member counterparties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NSCC believes the proposed changes to the fees are equitable 
because they would apply uniformly to all service providers that 
utilize the services and would not impact the fees being paid by I&RS 
Members. NSCC believes the proposed changes are reasonable because the 
fees that would be charged to service providers for product data would 
be the same fees that are being charged to I&RS Members that access 
such product data through I&RS, which are designed to align with the 
cost of delivering the feature.\25\ NSCC believes that removing fees 
for access to policy data is reasonable because it would incentivize 
the use of I&RS by service providers for such policy data which would 
be beneficial to the I&RS Members that are counterparties of such 
service providers. Therefore, by establishing fees that align with the 
cost of delivery of this feature and allocating those fees equitably 
among the subscribing users, including service providers, the proposed 
rule change would provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable 
dues, fees and other charges among its participants consistent with the 
requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(D) of the Act.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ See Insurance Profile Filing, supra note 9.
    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the proposed rule change is designed to comply with 
Rule 17Ad-22(e)(21) promulgated under the Act.\27\ Rule 17Ad-22(e)(21) 
under the Act requires NSCC to, inter alia, establish, implement, 
maintain and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably 
designed to be efficient and effective in meeting the requirements of 
its participants and the markets it serves. The proposed rule change 
would enhance the ability of I&RS Members to access Fee Data by 
removing the Insurance Profile platform and providing a more efficient 
and streamlined platform with access to an API specifically for IIEX. 
In addition, removing the fees for service providers to access policy 
data and providing access to service providers for product data would 
incentivize the use of IIEX by service providers which NSCC believes 
will have the effect of increasing the use by I&RS Members that are 
counterparties to the service providers. Therefore, by establishing a 
more efficient and effective process for I&RS Members and their service 
providers to process I&RS Data, NSCC believes that the proposed changes 
are consistent with the requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(e)(21), 
promulgated under the Act.\28\

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

    NSCC does not believe that the proposed rule changes would have an 
impact on competition. The proposed changes would merely facilitate 
I&RS Members access to Fee Data through the IIEX platform rather than 
the Insurance Profile platform. The fees for I&RS Members to access 
such information would not change. NSCC also does not believe that the 
removal of fees for service providers for policy information would 
burden competition because service providers are not currently using 
the service or paying fees. NSCC believes that removing the fees for 
service providers to access policy data and providing that service 
providers may have access to product data by paying the same fees as 
I&RS Members may promote competition by incentivizing service providers 
to use IIEX which NSCC believes would result in more I&RS Members using 
IIEX.

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

    NSCC has not received or solicited any written comments relating to 
this proposal. If any written comments are received by NSCC, they will
