Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 2005 / Notices
changes made necessary by the terms of
the Termination Agreement. These
changes, in part, result from the
relinquishment by CBOE of its three
NSX Board positions, as well as, CBOE’s
anticipated relinquishment of additional
NSX Board positions. The Commission
further notes that the revisions relating
to Exchange governance, such as the
creation of a new category of directors
known as ‘‘Independent Directors,’’ the
implementation of a transition schedule
for having a majority of NSX’s thirteen
member Board consist of Independent
Directors, and the various changes to the
composition of NSX’s committees, are
being made in anticipation of certain
governance requirements that the
Commission may impose upon selfregulatory organizations. The
Commission believes that a Board
consisting of a majority of independent
directors should help address the
conflicts of interest that otherwise may
arise when persons with a relationship
to the Exchange are involved in key
decisions, and should increase the
likelihood that the Board will act in
accordance with the mandates of the
Act and in the best interests not only of
the Exchange but also investors.
Therefore, in the Commission’s view,
the proposal is consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange, and, in particular,
with Sections 6(b)(1) 12 and 6(b)(5) 13 of
the Act.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,14 that the
proposed rule change (SR–NSX–2005–
02) be, and hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated
authority.15
Jill M. Peterson,
Assistant Secretary.

Demonstration Project on Direct
Payment of Fees to Non-Attorney
Representatives
AGENCY:
Social Security Administration
(SSA).
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice provides
information about the continuing
education requirement that non-attorney
representatives must satisfy to
participate in the 5-year demonstration
project on direct payment of fees to nonattorneys under section 303 of the
Social Security Protection Act of 2004
(SSPA). The notice also announces that
we have lowered the liability insurance
requirements for participants and
determined that applicants will be given
an opportunity to correct defects in their
applications to participate in the
demonstration project, in certain
circumstances; to protest a denial of
their applications for any reason; and,
where warranted, to have their paid
application fee refunded or applied to
satisfy the fee requirement for a
subsequent application. The notice also
clarifies the requirement regarding
experience in representing claimants
before SSA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Continuing Education Requirement
Section 303(b)(5) of the SSPA requires
that participants in the demonstration
project on direct payment of fees to nonattorneys demonstrate ongoing
completion of qualified courses of
continuing education, including
education regarding ethics and
professional conduct, that are designed
to enhance professional knowledge in
matters related to entitlement to, or
eligibility for, benefits based on
disability under titles II and XVI of the
Social Security Act (the Act). That
section also provides that the
continuing education courses and
instructors shall meet such standards as
we shall prescribe.
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:50 Jul 15, 2005
Jkt 205001
Courses provided by an accredited
college or university, a State bar
association, an organization accredited
by a State bar, a professional
organization that (in whole or in part)
specializes in representing claimants
before governmental agencies (e.g., the
American Bar Association, the National
Organization of Social Security
Claimants’ Representatives, and the
National Association of Disability
Representatives, Inc.), or a governmental
agency may be used to meet the
continuing education requirement.
Generally, we will defer to the
organization providing the course as to
the subject matter, the requirements for
receiving credit for an hour of
instruction, and the qualifications of the
instructor, though we reserve the right
to reject specific courses or instructors
if we determine that the course or the
instructor is unacceptable.
We have determined that participants
in the demonstration project will be
required to complete at least 12 hours of
qualifying continuing education courses
in the 18-month period beginning 6
months prior to the month in which we
notify the individual that he or she has
passed the examination. After this
initial 18-month period, the
representative will be required to
complete 24 hours of instruction in each
subsequent, 2-year period. For example,
if we notify an individual that he or she
passed the examination in July 2005, the
initial, 18-month period begins January
1, 2005, and runs through June 30, 2006.
The first 2-year period begins July 1,
2006, and the next begins July 1, 2008.
In each continuing education period,
participants must take at least one hour
of continuing education on ethics and
professional conduct for representatives
and at least one hour of continuing
education regarding entitlement to, or
eligibility for, benefits under titles II and
XVI of the Act. Participants are
otherwise free to determine the mix of
course hours from these two categories.
In recognition of the additional work
involved in teaching a continuing
education course, a participant may
receive 2 hours of credit per 1 course
hour, up to a maximum of 6 hours, if the
participant was an instructor in the
course. The 2 for 1 credit applies only
with respect to a course hour during
which the applicant was an instructor.
For example, if the applicant was an
instructor during 2 hours of a 3-hour
course, the applicant would be credited
with 5 continuing education hours.
Continuing education is credited on
the day the course is completed, and is
credited to the continuing education
period in which the course completion
date occurs, unless it is used to

complete an unmet continuing
education requirement from the prior
period. Thus, for example, for a nonattorney representative who has 18month and 24-month continuing
education periods as described above,
all of the hours in an 8-hour class that
begins on June 30, 2006, and ends on
July 1, 2006, would be credited to the
24-month period beginning July 1, 2006,
unless one or more of those hours is
used to complete an unmet continuing
education requirement for the period
ending June 30, 2006. Hours earned in
one continuing education period may be
used to satisfy an unmet requirement for
the prior period only for the purpose of
ending a suspension that has gone into
effect, not to prevent the occurrence of
a suspension. Any continuing education
hours allocated to a prior continuing
education period in this manner may
not also be counted toward the
continuing education requirement in the
current period. Thus, for example, if 1
hour of an 8-hour course completed in
the current period is used to satisfy an
unmet continuing education
requirement for the prior period, only 7
of the 8 education hours from the course
would be credited toward satisfaction of
the continuing education requirement
for the current period.
A participant in the demonstration
project who fails to timely meet the
continuing education requirement will
be suspended from receiving direct
payment of fees in the demonstration
project until we determine that the
requirement has been met and we end
the suspension. A suspension takes
effect in the continuing education
period after the period in which the
participant failed to meet the continuing
education requirement. We will not
withhold or make direct payment of fees
to the representative in any case we
effectuate while the suspension is in
effect. For this purpose, the date of
effectuation is the date on which an
authorized SSA employee first certifies
that the evidence necessary to make
payment in a case is present.
Prior to suspending a participant, we
will notify him or her that we propose
to suspend eligibility for direct payment
of fees unless he or she protests within
10 calendar days of the date of notice of
proposed suspension and shows us that
the requirement was timely met. If there
is no protest, the suspension will be
effective the first day of the month
following the month in which the
protest period ends. If there is a protest
and we determine that the continuing
education requirement was not timely
met, the suspension will be effective the
first day of the month following the
month in which we notify the
