The public reporting burden for the
collection of the data will vary from 20
to 240 minutes, with an average of 90
minutes for both, the OF 612 and the
online resume builder. This time
estimate includes time for reviewing
instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering data, and completing
and reviewing the information.
OF 612—burden hours calculation:
Estimated number of respondents:
245,000.
Average time to complete the OF 612:
90 min. (1.5 hours). 245,000 × 1.5 =
367,500 burden hours.
Federal Resume—burden hours
calculation:
Estimated number of respondents:
3,510,600.
Average time to complete the on-line
resume builder: 90 min. (1.5 hours).
3,510,600 × 1.5 = 5,265,900 burden
hours.
The dramatic upsurge in responses is
due to expansion and acceptance of
resumes in the Federal application
process and the advancement of
technology to provide for online
application, as well as increased interest
by job seekers in Federal employment as
evidenced by an eightfold growth in
visits to the USAJOBS Federal
employment information system in FY
2004 over FY 2003. The increase in time
is based on new requirements that job
applicants provide accreditation
information for institutions of higher
education from which they have
received a degree. As job applicants will
need to verify their education against
this new requirement, the OF–612 or
Federal resume will take longer to
complete than it has in the past.
As a result of the 60-day notice, OPM
received one comment expressing
concern about the additional burden for
applicants. The reason for this extra
burden was the requirement that
applicants provide accreditation
information for institutions of higher
education from which they have
received degrees. OPM has determined
that this was a valid concern. Therefore,
the OF 612 and the resume builder will
contain specific instructions to the
applicant to list only degrees from
facilities that have been duly accredited
by the U.S. Department of Education or
other education that meets the
provisions of OPM’s Operating Manual
at https://www.opm.gov/qualifications/
SEC–II/s2–e4.htm, and not from nonaccredited or bogus institutions.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and Purpose of information
collection: Continuing Disability Report;
OMB 3220–0187.
Under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act, an annuity is not
payable or is reduced for any month in
which the annuitant works for a railroad
or earns more than prescribed dollar
amounts from either non-railroad
employment or self-employment.
Certain types of work may indicate an
annuitant’s recovery from disability.
The provisions relating to the reduction
or non-payment of annuities by reasons
of work and an annuitant’s recovery
from disability for work are prescribed
in 20 CFR 220.17–220.20. The RRB
conducts continuing disability reviews
(CDR) to determine whether annuitants
continue to meet the disability
requirements of the law. Provisions
relating to when and how often the RRB
conducts CDR’s are prescribed in 20
CFR 220.186.
Form G–254, Continuing Disability
Report, is used by the RRB to develop
information for CDR determinations,
including determinations prompted by a
report of work, return to railroad
service, allegations of medical
improvement, or routine disability callup. The RRB provides significant nonburden impacting editorial and
formatting changes. The editorial
changes are proposed largely to provide
better instructions and to clarify
information currently requested.
Form G–254a, Continuing Disability
Update Report, is used to help identify
disability annuitants whose work
activity and/or recent medical history
warrants a more extensive review and
thus completion of Form G–254. The
RRB proposes non-burden impacting
changes to Form G–254a to delete items
no longer necessary and to add the
Paperwork Reduction Act/Privacy
notice that had previously been part of
an accompanying transmittal letter.
One response is requested of each
respondent to Form G–254 and G–254a.
Completion is required to retain a
benefit.
Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden
The estimated annual respondent
burden is as follows:

July 27, 2005.
Securities Exchange Act Of 1934;
Order Regarding Alternative Net
Capital Computation for Morgan
Stanley & Co., Which Has Elected To
Be Supervised on a Consolidated
Basis
On July 6, 2005, United Financial
Mortgage Corp., an Illinois corporation
(‘‘Issuer’’), filed an application with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section
12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 12d2–2(d)
thereunder,2 to withdraw its common
stock, no par value (‘‘Security’’), from
listing and registration on the American
Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’).
On May 2, 2005, the Board of
Directors (‘‘Board’’) of the Issuer
approved resolutions to withdraw the
Security from listing and registration on
Amex and to list the Security on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market (‘‘Nasdaq’’).
The Issuer stated that the Board believes
trading the Security on Nasdaq will
provide a variety of advantages over
Amex, including, but not limited to: (i)
Improved liquidity in the Security; (ii)
an increase in the Issuer’s visibility and
faster trade execution time; and (iii)
better execution quality for investors in
the Security. The Issuer stated that the
Board believes it is in the best interest
of the Issuer and its stockholders to
change the listing of the Security to
Nasdaq.
The Issuer stated that it has met the
requirements of Amex’s rules governing
an issuer’s voluntary withdrawal of a
security from listing and registration by
complying with all the applicable laws
in effect in Illinois, in which it is
incorporated. The Issuer’s application
relates solely to the withdrawal of the
Security from listing on Amex and from

Any interested person may, on or

facts bearing upon whether the

what terms, if any, should be imposed
by the Commission for the protection of

Morgan Stanley & Co. (‘‘MS’’), a
broker-dealer registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), and its ultimate
holding company, Morgan Stanley
(‘‘MSGroup’’), have indicated their
desire to be supervised by the
Commission as a consolidated
supervised entity (‘‘CSE’’). MS,
therefore, has submitted an application
to the Commission for authorization to
use the alternative method of computing
net capital contained in Appendix E to
Rule 15c3–1 (17 CFR 240.15c3–1e) to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’).
Based on a review of the application
that MS submitted, the Commission has
determined that the application meets
the requirements of Appendix E. The
Commission also has determined that
MSGroup is in compliance with the
terms of its undertakings, as provided to
the Commission under Appendix E. The
Commission, therefore, finds that
approval of the application is necessary
or appropriate in the public interest or
for the protection of investors.
Accordingly,
It is ordered, under paragraph (a)(7) of
Rule 15c3–1 (17 CFR 240.15c3–1) to the
Exchange Act, that MS may calculate
net capital using the market risk
standards of Appendix E to compute a
deduction for market risk on some or all
