Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 1, 2008 / Notices III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 7 and Rule 19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.9 A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 10 normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),11 the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay. In support of its request, the Exchange has represented that certain EFGs are overdue or have pending due dates for completion of their FMCE requirements. The Exchange has stated that it would prefer to grant the waivers proposed in this filing to the EFGs, rather than continuing to apply a deadline extension for these individuals.12 The Commission believes that the proposed exemptions should not unduly advantage the affected members or subvert the intent of the continuing education requirement in NYSE Rule 103A. Waiving the operative delay will allow the Exchange to grant waivers immediately to those floor members who are eligible under the proposed rule change, rather than continuing to 7 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 9 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the Exchange’s 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. The Exchange has satisfied the pre-filing requirement. 10 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 12 The Exchange further noted that the proposed rule change also seeks limited relief from technical program requirements for a very small number of members in recognition of important contributions to the development of educational materials that are then presented to the general membership. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 8 17 VerDate Aug<31>2005 21:01 Jun 30, 2008 Jkt 214001 37523 extend to deadline for these floor members during the 30-day operative delay. For these reasons, the Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Accordingly, the Commission designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing with the Commission.13 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the 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. provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for inspection and copying in the Commission’s Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm.

This notice includes new information collections, revisions to OMB-approved information collections and extensions (no change) of OMB-approved information collections. SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the Agency’s burden estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize the burden on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Farm Arrangement Questionnaire— 20 CFR 404.1082(c)—0960–0064. When self-employed workers submit earnings data to SSA, they cannot count rental income from a farm unless they demonstrate ‘‘material participation’’ in the farm’s operation. A material participation arrangement means the farm owners who are seeking to have earnings counted by SSA must perform a combination of physical duties, management decisions, and capital investment in the farm they are renting out. In such cases, SSA uses form SSA– 7157, the Farm Arrangement Questionnaire, to document material participation. The respondents are workers who are renting farmland to other people and who are involved in the operation of the farm and want to claim countable income from their work there. Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information collection Number of Respondents: 38,000. Frequency of Response: 1. Average Burden Per Response: 30 minutes. Estimated Annual Burden: 19,000 hours. 2. Application for Benefits under a U.S. International Social Security Agreement—20 CFR 404.1925—0960– 0448. When SSA enters into international Social Security agreements between the United States and foreign countries, applicants can file for benefits from one country. This can constitute an application for benefits from the other country, provided the applicants express the intent to claim benefits from the other country at the time of the initial application. SSA refers to these agreements as Totalization agreements. SSA uses Form SSA–2490-BK to collect information to determine eligibility for Social Security benefits from the United States or from a country that has entered into a Social Security agreement with the United States. The respondents are individuals who are applying for old-age, survivors or disability benefits from the U.S. or from a Totalization agreement country. Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information collection. E:\FR\FM\01JYN1.SGM 01JYN1
