AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:36 Aug 19, 2008 Jkt 214001 Notice. SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for clearance and use of Optional Form XX (OF–XX), Certificate of Medical Examination, a revision of Standard Form 78 (SF–78). The Certificate of Medical Examination is used by Federal agencies, OPM examining offices, and Federal agency appointing officials to determine medical qualifications for a specific position. We estimate approximately 45,000 forms will be completed each year. Each form requires from two to three hours to complete. The annual estimated burden is 135,000 hours. Comments: In the 60-Day Notice published in FR Vol. 71, No. 244, on December 20, 2006, we announced our request for review of a new information collection document, OF–XX, Certificate of Medical Examination. OPM invited receipt of public comment on the Optional Form by February 19, 2007, and received comments from three Federal agencies. All changes and recommendations were considered and incorporated as appropriate into the final OF–XX. A discussion of the comments is provided below. One agency inquired why OPM was revising the current SF–78. Revision and replacement is necessary because the SF–78 is no longer accurate. Revisions include making the form optional for agencies to use at their discretion, rather than required; to delete outdated references, such as the Federal Personnel Manual; and to incorporate changes required by 29 CFR 1630.13, which relates to prohibited medical inquiries and examinations related to the Equal Employment Opportunity provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. One agency requested that the revised form (OF–XX) be posted to the existing OPM forms Web site; that the form be electronically fillable; and that additional space be provided on the form for a description of employee duties. The OF–XX will be made available on the OPM forms Web site and will be made electronically fillable. Additional space has been provided in Part B of the form for an explanation of employee duties in the subject position. One agency requested that OPM provide adequate space for the clinician to comment on positive findings. OPM added supplemental space to the PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 49223 ‘‘Conclusion’’ section in Part C of the OF–XX. One agency requested that OPM reformat Part A to allow added room for names; to create separate and distinct parts; to change ‘‘glasses’’ to ‘‘corrective lenses’’; to add check boxes to areas where an examiner may document his or her interpretation of test results; and to clearly delineate vision and hearing boxes by moving instructions inside of the boxes where results are to be recorded. OPM addressed these concerns in the development of the OF– XX. For copies of this proposal, contact Margaret A. Miller on (202) 606–2699, Fax (202) 418–3251 or e-mail to mamiller@opm.gov.

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 a request to revise the collection of information discussed below. The Code of Federal Regulations citation to this collection of information is the following rule: 17 CFR 240.15b6–1. Broker-dealers use Form BDW (17 CFR 249.501a) to withdraw from registration with the Commission, the self-regulatory organizations, and the states. It is estimated that approximately 737 broker-dealers withdraw from registration annually and, therefore, file a Form BDW via the internet with Web CRD, a computer system operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. that maintains information regarding registered brokerdealers and their registered personnel. However, the Commission estimates that approximately 127 of these 737 withdrawing broker-dealers would employ third-party filers to file Form BDW. The broker-dealers that employ third-parties would not incur an hour burden and, therefore, do not incur a reporting burden. As discussed below, however, these broker-dealers would incur a cost burden with respect to Form BDW. Therefore, the 610 brokerdealers that withdraw from registration by filing Form BDW themselves, would incur an aggregate annual reporting burden of 152.5 hours (610 × 0.25 hours). Broker-dealers that employ thirdparties to file Form BDW would not incur a reporting burden, but would incur a cost burden in filing Form BDW. The Commission estimates that 127 broker-dealers would employ thirdparties to file Form BDW. These brokerdealers would be billed by third-party filers at an estimated average compensation rate of $44.00 per hour. Therefore, the total annual cost burden to broker-dealers that employ thirdparty filers to file Form BDW would be approximately $1,397 (i.e., 127 × 0.25 hours × $44 per hour) or $11 per withdrawing broker-dealer.
