Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 202 / Thursday, October 19, 2006 / Notices
Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder 10
because the proposal: (i) Does not
significantly affect the protection of
investors or the public interest; (ii) does
not impose any significant burden on
competition; and (iii) does not become
operative prior to 30 days after the date
of filing or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest; provided that the
Exchange has given the Commission
notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief
description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days
prior to the date of filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter
time as designated by the Commission.
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6)11 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, pursuant
to Rule 19b–4(f)(b)(iii), the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such
action is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest. The
Exchange has asked the Commission to
waive the 30-day operative delay.12 The
Commission believes that such waiver is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest
because it would provide market
participants that use OpenBookTM with
more information about the current state
of the NYSE market. For this reason, the
Commission designates the proposed
rule change to be effective upon filing
with the Commission.13
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of such proposed rule change, the
Commission may summarily abrogate
such rule change if it appears to the
Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest, for the protection of investors
or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act.
IV. Solicitation of Comments
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.
Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Health and Human Services (HHS). The
current respondents include applicants
for various Social Security benefits
programs who want to request a hearing
where they can appeal their denial; the
new additional respondents are
Medicare Part B recipients whom SSA
has determined will have to pay the
new Medicare Part B IRMAA and who

provisions of the Social Security
amendments. These provisions require
that States which supplement the
Federal Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) payments also pass along Federal
cost-of-living increases to individuals
who are eligible for State supplemental
payments. If a State fails to keep
payments at the required level, it
becomes ineligible for Medicaid
reimbursement under Title XIX of the
Social Security Act. In order to make
sure the States are maintaining the
payment levels, they submit their
payment amounts to SSA. Seven of the
participating States may use a totalexpenditures method, in which they
send their total expenditures to SSA
four times per year to prove that they
are maintaining the regulated cost-ofliving increase. The remaining twenty
three States send SSA one annual report
which shows that they have maintained
the cost-of-living increase as per the
regulations. Respondents are State
agencies administering supplemental
programs.
Type of Request: Extension of an
