SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
(4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that their records are subject to
matching;
(5) Verify match findings before

A. General
The Privacy Act, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), establishes the conditions
under which computer matching
involving the Federal government could
be performed and adding certain
protections for individuals applying for
and receiving Federal benefits. The
Privacy Act regulates the use of
computer matching by Federal agencies
when records in a system of records are
matched with other Federal, State, or
local government records. Among other
things, it requires Federal agencies
involved in computer matching
programs to:
(1) Negotiate written agreements with
the other agency for agencies
participating in the matching programs;
(2) Obtain the approval of the match
agreement by the Data Integrity Boards
(DIB) of the participating Federal
agencies;
(3) Furnish detailed reports about
matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
C. Authority for Conducting the
Matching Program
The authorities for conducting this
matching program are sections 8347(m)
and 8461(h)(1) of title 5 of the United
States Code.

The purpose of this agreement is to
establish the conditions, safeguards and
procedures under which the Department
of Labor (DOL), Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP), will
disclose Federal employee
compensation benefit data to the Office

Service Retirement System (CSRS) (5
U.S.C. Chapter 83) or the Federal
Employees’ Retirement System (FERS)
(5 U.S.C. Chapter 84) and the Federal

for ensuring the administrative,
E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM
16APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 74 / Wednesday, April 16, 2008 / Notices
technical and physical security of the
records matched and the results of such
programs. All Federal agencies are
subject to: the Federal Information
Security Management Act of 2002
(FISMA), 44 U.S.C. 3541 et seq.; related
Office of Management and Budget
circulars and memorandum (e.g., OMB
Circular A–130 and OMB M–06–16);
National Institute of Science and
Technology (NIST) directives; and the
Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).
These laws, circulars, memoranda
directives and regulations include
requirements for safeguarding Federal
information systems and personally
identifiable information used in Federal
agency business processes, as well as
related reporting requirements. OPM
and DOL/OWCP recognize that all laws,
circulars, memoranda, directives and
regulations relating to the subject of this
agreement and published subsequent to
the effective date of this agreement must
also be implemented if mandated.
FISMA requirements apply to all
Federal contractors and organizations or
sources that possess or use Federal
information, or that operate, use, or
have access to Federal information
systems on behalf of an agency. OPM
will be responsible for oversight and
compliance of their contractors and
agents. Both OPM and DOL/OWCP
reserve the right to conduct onsite
inspection to monitor compliance with
FISMA regulations.
F. Inclusive Dates of the Match
The matching program shall become
effective upon the signing of the
agreement by both parties to the
agreement and approval of the
agreement by the Data Integrity Boards
of the respective agencies, but no sooner
than 40 days after notice of this
matching program is sent to Congress
and the Office of Management and
Budget or 30 days after publication of
this notice in the Federal Register,
whichever is later. The matching
program will continue for 18 months
from the effective date and may be
extended for an additional 12 months
thereafter, if certain conditions are met.

Comment Request: ‘‘Tell Us How We’re
Doing!’’; SEC File No. 270–406; OMB
Control No. 3235–0463.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this previouslyapproved questionnaire to the Office of
Management and Budget for approval.
The Commission currently sends the
questionnaire to persons who have used
the services of the Commission’s Office
of Investor Education and Advocacy
(OIEA). The questionnaire consists
mainly of eight (8) questions concerning
the quality of services provided by
OIEA. Most of the questions can be
answered by checking a box on the
questionnaire.
The Commission needs the
information to evaluate the quality of
services provided by OIEA. Supervisory
personnel of OIEA use the information
collected in assessing staff performance
and for determining what improvements
or changes should be made in OIEA
operations for services provided to
investors.
The respondents to the questionnaire
are those investors who request
assistance or information from OIEA.
The total reporting burden of the
questionnaire in 2007 was
approximately 142 hours and 45
minutes. This was calculated by
multiplying the total number of
investors who responded to the
questionnaire times how long it is
estimated to take to complete the
questionnaire (571 respondents × 15
minutes = 142 hours and 45 minutes).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of the
extension of the previously approved
collection of information on the
following rule: Rule 17a–13 (17 CFR
240.17a–13) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S. C. 78a et
seq.).
Rule 17a–13(b) (17 CFR 17a–13(b))
generally requires that, at least once
each calendar quarter, all registered
brokers and dealers physically examine
and count all securities held, and that
they account for all other securities not
in their possession, but subject to the
broker-dealer’s control or direction. Any
discrepancies between the brokerdealer’s securities count and the firm’s
records must be noted and, within seven
days, the unaccounted for difference
must be recorded in the firm’s records.
Rule 17a–13(c) (17 CFR 240.17a–13(c))
provides that under specified
conditions, the securities counts,
examination, and verification of the
broker-dealer’s entire list of securities
may be conducted on a cyclical basis
rather than on a certain date. Although
Rule 17a–13 does not require filing a
report with the Commission,
discrepancies between a broker-dealer’s
records and the securities counts may be
required to be reported, for example, as
a loss on Form X–17A–5 (17 CFR
248.617), which must be filed with the
