Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request, 6535-6537 [E6-1690]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 8, 2006 / Notices PCX has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Because the Original Wave Extension, the Original Inbound Router Extension and the Original TNT Extension each expire on January 31, 2006, such waiver will allow each of Wave, ATS (with respect to the ATS Inbound Router Function), Archipelago Securities (with respect to the Inbound Router Clearing Function), and TNT to remain in compliance with the voting and ownership limitations in the PCXH Certificate of Incorporation. The Commission notes that the Exchange has represented that Archipelago entered into definitive agreements for the sale of Wave on January 19, 2006 and for the sale of the ATS Inbound Router Function on December 23, 2005. The time period for each of the extensions is short and will terminate on the earlier of (1) the closing date of the Archipelago NYSE Merger and (2) March 31, 2006. In addition, the Commission notes that the following protections are and will continue to be in place during the interim period: (i) Wave, ATS, and TNT are members of the NASD as well as PCX, (ii) the NASD is the Designated Examining Authority for Wave, ATS, and TNT pursuant to Rule 17d–1 of the Act, and (iii) Wave, ATS, and TNT are, and will continue to be during the extension, covered by the scope of the 17d–2 Agreement. Further, Archipelago’s ownership and operation of Wave, the ATS Inbound Router Function of ATS, and the Inbound Router Clearing Function of Archipelago Securities will continue to be subject to the same conditions as the Original Wave Exception and the Original Inbound Router Exception, as described above and as approved by the Commission in the SEC Order. For these reasons, the Commission designates the proposal to be effective and operative upon filing with the Commission.51 rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES1 IV.

of an existing OMB-approved information collection.

enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and on ways to minimize
burden on respondents, including the use of automated collection

Medicare Subsidy Quality Review Case Analysis Forms--20 CFR
418(b)(5)--0960-0707. Under the aegis of the Medicare Modernization Act
of 2003, SSA will make Medicare Part D subsidy determinations for the
Medicare Prescription Drug program for Medicare beneficiaries with
limited income and resources. The subsidy determination is based on
applicants' answers to questions about categories such as household
size, income, and resources. This information is self-reported by
applicants using form OMB No. 0960-0696 (SSA-1020), and thus, SSA needs
a way to determine if this form is being completed accurately and
completely and a way to validate its determination decisions. To this
end, SSA will use the Medicare Quality Review system to check the
accuracy of the determination. In this system, SSA will conduct phone
interviews with selected applicants and will confirm information such
as

other forms will be used as part of the Medicare Quality Review System.
