The Federal Reserve adopted several revisions to Part I of its PSR Policy addressing risk management in payments and settlement systems. Specifically, the Federal Reserve (1) incorporated into the PSR Policy the Recommendations for Central Counterparties (CCP) as the Federal ReserveÂs minimum standards for central counterparties, (2) clarified the purpose of Part I of the policy and revised its scope with regard to central counterparties, and (3) established an expectation that systemically important systems (subject to the Federal Reserve BoardÂs authority) disclose publicly self-assessments against the Core Principles, Recommendations for Securities Settlement Systems, or Recommendations for CCP, as appropriate, demonstrating the extent to which these systems meet the principles or minimum standards.
