ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: 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) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection. ‘‘Verification of Who is Getting Payments’’ (OMB Control No. 3206–0197; Form RI 38– 107) is designed for use by the Retirement Inspection Branch when OPM, for any reason, must verify that the entitled person is indeed receiving the monies payable. ‘‘Verification of Who is Getting Payments’’ (OMB Control No. 3206–0197; Form RI 38– 147) collects the same information and is used by other groups within Retirement Services Program. Failure to collect this information would cause OPM to pay monies absent the assurance of a correct payee. The number of respondents to RI 38– 107 is 25,000. The number of respondents to RI 38–147 is 400. We estimate it takes approximately 10 minutes to complete each form. The annual burden for RI 38–107 is 4,167 hours; the annual burden for RI 38–147 is 67 hours. The total burden is 4,234 hours. For copies of this proposal, contact Cyrus S.

I. Introduction On December 22, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) approved a proposal filed by the International Securities Exchange, LLC (‘‘ISE’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) in connection with corporate transactions (the ‘‘Transactions’’) in which, among other things, the parent company of ISE, International Securities Exchange Holdings, Inc. (‘‘ISE Holdings’’), purchased a 31.54% ownership interest in Direct Edge Holdings LLC (‘‘Direct Edge’’), the owner and operator of Direct Edge ECN (‘‘DECN’’), a registered broker-dealer and electronic communications network (‘‘ECN’’).1 Following the closing of the Transactions (the ‘‘Closing’’), Direct Edge’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Maple Merger Sub LLC (‘‘Merger Sub’’) began to operate a marketplace for the trading of U.S. cash equity securities by Equity Electronic Access Members of ISE (the ‘‘Facility’’), under ISE’s rules and as a ‘‘facility,’’ as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’),2 of ISE.3 1 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59135 (December 22, 2008), 73 FR 79954 (December 30, 2008) (order approving File No. SR–ISE–2008–85). 2 15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(2). 3 Under Section 3(a)(2) of the Act, the term ‘‘facility,’’ when used with respect to an exchange, includes ‘‘its premises, tangible or intangible property whether on the premises or not, any right to the use of such premises or property or any service thereof for the purpose of effecting or reporting a transaction on an exchange (including, among other things, any system of communication to or from the exchange, by ticker or otherwise, PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DECN, which operates as an ECN and submits its limit orders to the Facility for display and execution, is an affiliate of ISE through ISE Holdings’ equity interest in DE Holdings. DECN also is a facility, as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Exchange Act, of ISE because it is an affiliate of ISE used for the purpose of effecting and reporting securities transactions. Because DECN is a facility of ISE, ISE, absent exemptive relief, would be obligated under Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act to file with the Commission proposed rules governing the operation of DECN’s systems and subscriber fees. On December 22, 2008, the Commission exercised its authority under Section 36 of the Exchange Act to grant ISE a temporary exemption, subject to certain conditions, from the requirements under Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to DECN’s proposed rules.4 On June 15, 2009, ISE filed with the Commission, pursuant to Rule 0–12 5 under the Exchange Act, an application under Section 36(a)(1) of the Exchange Act 6 to extend the relief granted in the Exemption Order for an additional 180 days, subject to certain conditions.7 This order grants ISE’s request for a temporary extension of the relief provided in the Exemption Order, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which are outlined below. II. Application for an Extension of the Temporary Conditional Exemption From the Section 19(b) Rule Filing Requirements On June 15, 2009, ISE requested that the Commission exercise its authority under Section 36 of the Exchange Act to temporarily extend, subject to certain conditions, the temporary conditional exemption granted in the Exemption Order from the rule filing procedures of Section 19(b) of the Exchange Act in connection with ISE Holdings’ equity ownership interest in DE Holdings and the continued operation of DECN as a facility of ISE.8 The Exemption Request notes that on May 7, 2009, EDGA Exchange, Inc., and EDGX Exchange, Inc.

scope of the proposed Priority Mail Contract Group product.

contract is consistent with the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 
3642 and 39 CFR part 3015 and 39 CFR 3020, subpart B, and whether it 
should be classified within the Priority Mail Contract Group or as a 
separate product. Comments in this case are due no later than June 26, 
2009.
