Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 249 / Monday, December 29, 2008 / Notices
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.10
The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay, so that the proposed rule change
may become operative upon filing. The
Commission hereby grants the
Exchange’s request and believes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest.11 As a
result of this action, the Exchange will
be able to implement without undue
delay a proposed rule change that
reduces the likelihood of quotations or
orders on NYSE Bonds from being
stepped ahead of by an insignificant
amount. Accordingly, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change
operative upon filing with the
Commission.
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.
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:
Electronic Comments
• Use the Commission’s Internet
comment form (https://www.sec.gov/
rules/sro.shtml); or
• Send an e-mail to rulecomments@sec.gov. Please include File
Number SR–NYSE–2008–129 on the
subject line.
Paper Comments
• Send paper comments in triplicate
to Secretary, Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20549–1090.
All submissions should refer to File
Number SR–NYSE–2008–129. This file
number should be included on the
subject line if e-mail is used. To help the
dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES
10 In
addition, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) requires a selfregulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file 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
Commission has determined to waive the five-day
pre-filing notice requirement in this case.
11 For the purposes only of waiving the 30-day
operative delay, the Commission has considered the
proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).

The Social Security Administration

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
effective October 1, 1995. This notice

SSA is soliciting comments on the
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimate; the need for the information;

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. Mail, e-mail, or
fax your comments and
recommendations on the information
collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer
and the SSA Reports Clearance Officer
to the addresses or fax numbers listed
below.

Costs—20 CFR 418.3101—0960–0696.
The Medicare Modernization Act of
2003 mandated the creation of the
Medicare Part D prescription drug
coverage program and provided for
certain subsidies for eligible Medicare
beneficiaries to help pay for the costs of
prescription drugs. SSA uses Form
SSA–1020 (and the i1020, its electronic
counterpart), the Application for Extra
Help with Medicare Prescription Drug
Plan Costs, to collect information to
make Part D subsidy eligibility
determinations.
In compliance with Public Law 110–
275, beginning in January 2010, SSA
will use a new version of Form SSA–
1020. In this new version, SSA will
eliminate questions about the value of
life insurance policies and in-kind
support and maintenance, and we will
ask applicants about their interest in
applying for the Medicare Savings
Program. This information collection
request (ICR) is for the new version we
will use in 2010. The respondents are
Medicare beneficiaries who are applying
for the Medicare Part D subsidy.

2. Medicare Subsidy Quality Review
Forms—20 CFR 418(b)(5)—0960–0707.
The Medicare Modernization Act of
2003 mandated the creation of the
Medicare Part D prescription drug
coverage program and provided for
certain subsidies for eligible Medicare
beneficiaries to help pay for the costs of
prescription drugs. As part of its
stewardship duties of the Medicare Part
D subsidy program, SSA must conduct
periodic quality review checks of the
information Medicare beneficiaries
report on their subsidy applications
(Form SSA–1020). SSA uses the
Medicare Quality Review program to
conduct these checks.
Beginning in January 2010, SSA will
revise the Medicare Quality Review
system to comply with Public Law 110–
275. Specifically, we will: (1) Eliminate
the use of Form SSA–9309, the Life

forms in the collection. This ICR is for
the revised Medicare Quality Review
System, which we will not use until
January 2010. The respondents are
applicants for the Medicare Part D
subsidy whom we have chosen to
undergo a Quality Review.
