- To support submission of Block trades and EFRPs via CME ClearPort, a new role of Clearing Firm Clerk now allows clearing member firms to submit, view, allege and/or claim single-sided trades, and to submit and view dual-sided trades on behalf of trading firms.
  
  The Clearing Firm Clerk will not need to be designated as a broker, trader or asset manager on the side they clear.
