each Exchange that would not be
accessible to all market participants,
and the Commission believes that
proceedings are appropriate to consider
(1) Whether the Program’s segmentation
of order flow would inhibit price
discovery and order interaction on an
exchange, (2) Whether the potential
complexity of the Program would
detract from the efficient execution of
securities transactions or the
maintenance of fair and orderly markets,
(3) Whether the Program would permit
unfair discrimination, and (4) Whether
the Program would create an
unnecessary or inappropriate burden on
competition.
Accordingly, the Commission is
instituting proceedings to allow for
additional analysis of the proposed rule
changes’ consistency with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,29 which requires that
the rules of a national securities
exchange promote just and equitable
principles of trade, perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, protect
investors and the public interest, and
not permit unfair discrimination, and
with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,30 which
requires that the rules of an exchange
not impose any burden on competition
not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
V. Procedure: Request for Written
Comments
The Commission requests that
interested persons provide written
submissions of their views, data, and
arguments with respect to the concerns
identified above, as well as any others
they may have with the Proposals. In
particular, the Commission invites the
written views of interested persons
concerning whether the proposed rule
changes are inconsistent with Section
6(b)(5) or any other provision of the Act,
or the rules and regulation thereunder.
Although there do not appear to be any
issues relevant to approval or
disapproval which would be facilitated
by an oral presentation of views, data,
and arguments, the Commission will
consider, pursuant to Rule 19b-4, any
request for an opportunity to make an
oral presentation.31

Securities Act Amendments of 1975, Public Law
94–29 (June 4, 1975), grants the Commission
flexibility to determine what type of proceeding—
either oral or notice and opportunity for written
comments—is appropriate for consideration of a
particular proposal by a self-regulatory
organization. See Securities Act Amendments of
1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
The Social Security Administration
(SSA) publishes a list of information
collection packages requiring clearance
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Public Law 104–13, the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, effective October
1, 1995. This notice includes revisions
of OMB-approved information
collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimate; the need for the information;
its practical utility; ways to enhance its
quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to
minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Mail, email, or
fax your comments and
recommendations on the information
collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer
and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at
the following addresses or fax numbers.

I. The information collections below
are pending at SSA. SSA will submit
them to OMB within 60 days from the
date of this notice. To be sure we
consider your comments, we must
receive them no later than May 2, 2014.
Individuals can obtain copies of the
collection instruments by writing to the
above email address.
1. Disability Update Report—20 CFR
404.1589–404.1595 and 416.988–
416.996—0960–0511. As part of our
statutory requirements, SSA
periodically uses Form SSA–455, the
Disability Update Report, to evaluate
current Title II disability beneficiaries’

recipients’ continued eligibility for

Social Security disability payments.
Specifically, SSA uses the form to
determine if: (1) There is enough
evidence to warrant referring the
respondent for a full medical
Continuing Disability Review (CDR); (2)
the respondent’s impairment(s) is still
present and is indicative of no medical
improvement, precluding the need for a
CDR; or (3) there are unresolved work-
related issues for the respondent. SSA
mails Form SSA–455 to specific
disability recipients, whom we select as
possibly qualifying for the continuing
disability review process. SSA pre-fills
the form with data specific to the
disability recipient, except for the
sections we ask the beneficiary to
complete. When SSA receives the
completed form, we scan it into SSA’s
system. This allows us to gather the
information electronically to enable
SSA to process the returned forms
through automated decision logic to
decide the proper course of action to
take. The respondents are recipients of
Title II and Title XVI Social Security
disability payments.

of the Social Security Act require
claimants to furnish medical evidence
of their disability when filing a
disability claim. SSA uses Forms HA–66
and HA–67 to obtain evidence from
medical sources identified by the
claimants as having information relative
to their impairments or ability to do
work-related activities. In addition to
accepting manual paper responses, SSA
sends a barcode with the HA–66 and

appropriation is similar, but not
identical, to the program funded and
implemented pursuant to the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(the ‘‘Recovery Act’’) known as the
Transportation Investment Generating
Economic Recovery, or ‘‘TIGER
Discretionary Grants,’’ program. Because
of the similarity in program structure,
DOT will continue to refer to the
program as ‘‘TIGER Discretionary
Grants.’’ As with previous rounds of
TIGER, funds for the FY 2014 TIGER
program (‘‘TIGER FY 2014’’) are to be
awarded on a competitive basis for
projects that will have a significant
impact on the Nation, a metropolitan
area, or a region.
Through this notice, DOT is soliciting
applications for TIGER Discretionary
Grants. In the event that this solicitation
does not result in the award and
obligation of all available funds, DOT
may decide to publish an additional
solicitation(s).
DATES: You must submit final
applications through Grants.gov by
April 28, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. EDT (the
‘‘Application Deadline’’). The
Grants.gov ‘‘Apply’’ function will open
on April 3, 2014, allowing applicants to
submit applications. You are strongly
encouraged to submit applications in
advance of the deadline. Please be
aware that you must complete the
registration process before submitting an
application, and that this process
usually takes 2–4 weeks to complete. If
interested parties experience difficulties

at any point during the registration or
application process, please call the
Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at
1–800–518–4726, Monday-Friday from
7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. EDT. Additional
information on applying through
Grants.gov is available in Information
about Applying for Federal Grants
through Grants.gov at www.dot.gov/
TIGER.
You must submit
applications electronically through
Grants.gov. Only applications received
electronically through Grants.gov will
be deemed properly filed. Instructions
for submitting applications through
Grants.gov can be found on the TIGER
Web site (www.dot.gov/TIGER).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information concerning this
notice please contact the TIGER
Discretionary Grant program staff via
email at TIGERGrants@dot.gov, or call
Howard Hill at 202–366–0301. A TDD is
available for individuals who are deaf or
hard of hearing at 202–366–3993. In
addition, DOT will regularly post
answers to questions and requests for
clarifications on DOT’s Web site at
www.dot.gov/TIGER. Applicants are
encouraged to contact DOT directly
rather than rely on third parties to
receive information about TIGER
Discretionary Grants.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is substantially similar to the
final notice published for the TIGER
Discretionary Grant program in the
Federal Register on April 26, 2013.
