Aggregate Fee Disclosure.
This information will include
Aggregate Fee Disclosure and any
change in such disclosure caused by the
addition of the new Subscriber. To meet
this obligation, the Fund will provide
shareholders within 90 days of the
hiring of a new Subadviser with an
information statement meeting the

the Board will be Independent Board
Members, and the nomination of new or
additional Independent Board Members

6. When a Subadviser change is
proposed for a Fund with an Affiliated
Subadviser, the Board, including a
majority of the Independent Board
Members, will make a separate finding,
reflected in the applicable Board

interests of the Fund and its
shareholders and does not involve a
conflict of interest from which the
Adviser or the Affiliated Subadviser
derives an inappropriate advantage.
7. Independent legal counsel, as
defined in rule 0–1(a)(6) under the Act,
will be engaged to represent the
Independent Board Members. The
selection of such counsel will be within
the discretion of the then existing
Independent Board Members.
8. The Adviser will provide the

terminated, the Advisor will provide the
Board with information showing the
expected impact on the profitability of
the Adviser.

any Company, or director or officer of
the Adviser, will own directly or
indirectly (other than through a pooled

Subadviser, except for: (a) ownership of
interests in the Adviser or any entity
that controls, is controlled by, or is
under common control with the
Adviser; or (b) ownership of less than
1% of the outstanding securities of any
class of equity or debt of a publicly

Subadviser or an entity that controls, is
controlled by, or is under common
control with a Subadviser.
12. Each Fund will disclose in its
registration statement the Aggregate Fee
Disclosure.
13. In the event the Commission
adopts a rule under the Act providing
substantially similar relief to that in the
order requested in the application, the
requested order will expire on the
effective date of that rule.
For the Commission, by the Division of

The Social Security Administration
(SSA) publishes a list of information
collection packages requiring clearance
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Public Law 104–13, the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, effective October
1, 1995. This notice includes revisions
and extensions of OMB-approved
information collections and a new
collection.

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. 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 shown
below.

I. The information collection below is
pending at SSA. SSA will submit it to
OMB within 60 days from the date of
this notice. To be sure we consider your
comments, we must receive them no
later than September 8, 2009.
Individuals can obtain copies of the
collection instrument by calling the SSA
Reports Clearance Officer at 410–965–
3758, or by writing to the e-mail address
we list above.
1. Statement of Reclamation Action—
31 CFR 210—0960–0734. SSA uses
Form SSA–1713 to collect information
to determine if a Canadian bank is able
to return erroneous payments, and to
determine how and when it can return
the payments made after the death of a
beneficiary who elected to have
payments sent to Canada. Form SSA–
1712 (or SSA–1712 CN) is the cover
sheet SSA prepares to request return of
a payment erroneously made after the
death of the recipient. SSA sends Form
SSA–1712 with Form SSA–1713. The
respondents are Canadian financial
institutions that received Social
Security payments.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 5

Estimated Annual Burden: 1 hour.
II. SSA has submitted the information
collections we list below to OMB for
clearance. Your comments on the
information collections would be most
useful if OMB and SSA receive them
within 30 days from the date of this
publication. To be sure we consider

no later than August 10, 2009. You can
obtain a copy of the OMB clearance
packages by calling the SSA Reports
Clearance Officer at 410–965–3758 or by
writing to the above e-mail address.
1. Statement of Claimant or Other
Person—20 CFR 404.702 & 416.570—
0960–0045. SSA uses the SSA–795 to
obtain information from claimants or
other persons having knowledge of facts
in connection with claims for
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or
Social Security benefits when there is
no standard form to collect the needed
information. SSA then uses the
information to process claims for
benefits or for ongoing issues related to
the above programs. The respondents
are applicants/recipients of SSI or
Social Security benefits, or others who
are in a position to provide information
pertinent to the claim(s).
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 305,500.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 76,375
hours.
2. Claim for Amounts Due in the Case
of a Deceased Beneficiary—20 CFR
404.503(b)—0960–0101. A completed
SSA–1724 ensures proper payment of
an underpayment due a deceased
beneficiary. It is required when there is
insufficient information in the file to
identify the person(s) entitled to the
underpayment, or the person’s address.
Generally, SSA collects the information
when a surviving widow(er) is not
already entitled to a monthly benefit on
the same earnings record, or is not filing
for a lump-sum death payment as a
living-with spouse. The respondents are
applicants for underpayments owed to
deceased beneficiaries.
Note: This is a correction notice. SSA
published this information collection with
the incorrect burden information on April 07,
2009 at 74 FR 15808. We are revising the
burden information.

Services for Disability Determination
Services (SSA–4514); State Agency
Schedule of Equipment Purchased for
SSA Disability Programs (SSA–871)—20
CFR 404.1626—0960–0421. SSA uses
Forms SSA–4513, SSA–4514, and SSA–
871 to collect data necessary for detailed
analysis and evaluation of costs State
Disability Determination Services (DDS)
incur in making disability
determinations for SSA. The data are

4. Social Security Number
Verification Services—20 CFR 401.45—
0960–0660. Internal Revenue Service
regulations obligate employers to
provide SSA with wage and tax data
using Form W–2 or its electronic
equivalent. As part of this process the
employer must furnish the employee’s
name and Social Security number
(SSN). The employee’s name and SSN
must match SSA’s records for SSA to
post earnings to the employee’s earnings
record, which SSA maintains. SSA
offers several cost-free methods for
employers to verify employee
information. The cost-free methods
include:
1. Internet-based service, known as
the Social Security Number Verification
Service (SSNVS)—employers can verify
if the reported names and SSNs of their
employees match SSA’s records;
2. The Employee Verification Service
(EVS)—employers verify, via paper and

Mississippi Central Railroad Co.—
Change in Operators Exemption—
Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Mississippi Central Railroad Co.
(MSCI),1 a Class III rail carrier, has filed
a verified notice of exemption under 49
CFR 1150.41 to change operators from
Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc.
(TISH),2 to MSCI on a line of railroad of
the State of Mississippi (the State), at
Iuka, MS. Pursuant to an agreement
with TISH, MSCI will lease and operate
approximately 10 miles of rail line
between Norfolk Southern Railway
Company’s Iuka Wye at milepost 0.0,
and the Tri-State Commerce Park at
milepost 10.0, in Tishomingo County,
MS. MSCI states that, pursuant to the
lease agreement with the State, MSCI
will lease, operate, maintain, and
perform all common carrier service on
the line. This change in operators is
exempt under 49 CFR 1150.41(c).3
Based on projected revenues for the
line, MSCI expects to remain a Class III
rail carrier after consummation of the
proposed transaction. MSCI certifies
that its projected annual revenues as a
result of this transaction will not result
in the creation of a Class II or Class I rail
carrier.
MSCI states that it intends to
consummate the transaction on August
1, 2009 (at least 30 days after the notice
of exemption was filed), and that
operations will begin thereafter.
Pursuant to the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2008, Public Law
No. 110–161, § 193, 121 Stat. 1844
(2007), nothing in this decision
1 MSCI is controlled by Pioneer Railcorp. See
Pioneer Railcorp—Continuance in Control
Exemption—Gettysburg & Northern Railroad Co.,
STB Finance Docket No. 34010 (STB served Feb. 27,
2001).
2 See Tishomingo Railroad Company, Inc.—Lease
and Operation Exemption—Line of State of
Mississippi at Iuka, MS, STB Finance Docket No.
33806 (STB served Oct. 28, 1999).
3 In order to quality for a change in operators
exemption, an applicant must give notice to
shippers on the line. See 49 CFR 1150.42(b). MSCI
states that no shippers are known to have shipped
or received freight within the last 2 years, therefore
no service of this notice is required on shippers.
MSCI also certifies that a copy of the verified notice
of exemption was sent to the State.

authorizes the following activities at any
solid waste rail transfer facility:
Collecting, storing, or transferring solid
waste outside of its original shipping
container; or separating or processing
solid waste (including baling, crushing,
compacting, and shredding). The term
‘‘solid waste’’ is defined in section 1004
of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42
U.S.C. 6903.
If the verified notice contains false or
misleading information, the exemption
is void ab initio. Petitions to revoke the
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
may be filed at any time. The filing of
a petition to revoke will not
automatically stay the effectiveness of
the exemption. Petitions for stay must
be filed no later than July 17, 2009 (at
least 7 days before the exemption
becomes effective).
An original and 10 copies of all
pleadings, referring to STB Finance
Docket No. 35258, must be filed with
the Surface Transportation Board, 395 E

on each side of the Cold Spring Canyon
Bridge, on State Route 154 near San
Marcos Pass in Santa Barbara County.
The bridge spans a distance of over
1,200 feet in length and is more than
400 feet in height. The purpose of the
proposed project is to: (1) Reduce the
number of suicides at the Cold Spring
Canyon Bridge resulting from
individuals jumping off the bridge, and
(2) Reduce the exposure to risks for
emergency personnel such as law
enforcement officers or search and
rescue teams when attempting to
prevent persons from jumping off of the
bridge, and reduce the number of
recoveries that need to be performed
following a suicide jump from the
bridge. The actions by the Federal
agencies, and the laws under which
such actions were taken, are described
in the Environmental Assessment/
Finding of No Significant Impact (EA/
FONSI) for the project, approved on
June 22, 2009, and in other documents
in the FHWA project records. The EA/

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions and extensions of OMB-approved information
collections and a new collection.
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. 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 shown below.
(OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,
Fax: 202-395-6974, E-mail address: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.

Officer, 1332 Annex Building, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21235,
Fax: 410-965-6400, E-mail address: OPLM.RCO@ssa.gov.
I. The information collection below is pending at SSA. SSA will
submit it to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be
sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than
September 8, 2009. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection
instrument by calling the SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 410-965-
3758, or by writing to the e-mail address we list above.
1. Statement of Reclamation Action--31 CFR 210--0960-0734. SSA uses
Form SSA-1713 to collect information to determine if a Canadian bank is
able to return erroneous payments, and to determine how and when it can
return the payments made after the death of a beneficiary who elected
to have payments sent to Canada. Form SSA-1712 (or SSA-1712 CN) is the
cover sheet SSA prepares to request return of a payment erroneously
made after the death of the recipient. SSA sends Form SSA-1712 with
Form SSA-1713. The respondents are Canadian financial institutions that
received Social Security payments.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1 hour.
II. SSA has submitted the information collections we list below to
OMB for clearance. Your comments on the information collections would
be most useful if OMB and SSA receive them within 30 days from the date
of this publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must
receive them
[[Page 33314]]
no later than August 10, 2009. You can obtain a copy of the OMB
clearance packages by calling the SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 410-
965-3758 or by writing to the above e-mail address.
1. Statement of Claimant or Other Person--20 CFR 404.702 &
416.570--0960-0045. SSA uses the SSA-795 to obtain information from
claimants or other persons having knowledge of facts in connection with
claims for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security
benefits when there is no standard form to collect the needed
information. SSA then uses the information to process claims for
benefits or for ongoing issues related to the above programs. The
respondents are applicants/recipients of SSI or Social Security
benefits, or others who are in a position to provide information
pertinent to the claim(s).
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 305,500.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 76,375 hours.
2. Claim for Amounts Due in the Case of a Deceased Beneficiary--20
CFR 404.503(b)--0960-0101. A completed SSA-1724 ensures proper payment
of an underpayment due a deceased beneficiary. It is required when
there is insufficient information in the file to identify the person(s)
entitled to the underpayment, or the person's address. Generally, SSA
collects the information when a surviving widow(er) is not already
entitled to a monthly benefit on the same earnings record, or is not
filing for a lump-sum death payment as a living-with spouse. The
respondents are applicants for underpayments owed to deceased
beneficiaries.
Note: This is a correction notice. SSA published this
information collection with the incorrect burden information on
April 07, 2009 at 74 FR 15808. We are revising the burden
information.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 250,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 41,667 hours.
3. State Agency Report of Obligations for SSA Disability Programs
(SSA-4513); Time Report of Personnel Services for Disability
Determination Services (SSA-4514); State Agency Schedule of Equipment
Purchased for SSA Disability Programs (SSA-871)--20 CFR 404.1626--0960-
0421. SSA uses Forms SSA-4513, SSA-4514, and SSA-871 to collect data
necessary for detailed analysis and evaluation of costs State
Disability Determination Services (DDS) incur in making disability
determinations for SSA. The data are also utilized in determining
funding levels for each DDS. Respondents are State DDSs.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

0960-0660. Internal Revenue Service regulations obligate employers to
provide SSA with wage and tax data using Form W-2 or its electronic
equivalent. As part of this process the employer must furnish the
employee's name and Social Security number (SSN). The employee's name
and SSN must match SSA's records for SSA to post earnings to the
employee's earnings record, which SSA maintains. SSA offers several
cost-free methods for employers to verify employee information. The
cost-free methods include:
1. Internet-based service, known as the Social Security Number
Verification Service (SSNVS)--employers can verify if the reported
names and SSNs of their employees match SSA's records;
2. The Employee Verification Service (EVS)--employers verify, via
paper and telephone, whether the reported names and SSNs of their
employees match SSA's records;
3. SSA's National 800 Number--an automated telephone employee
verification service (TNEV) allows callers with an SSA-authorized PIN
and password to verify employees' names and SSNs through TNEV.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
