Notice of Submission of Proposed
Information Collection to OMB
Emergency Comment Request
emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES
ACTION: Notice of proposed information
collection.
SUMMARY: The Recovery Accountability
and Transparency Board (Board) has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the emergency
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
DATES: Comments are due July 16, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Send all comments to
Sharon Mar, Desk Officer for the
Recovery Accountability and
Transparency Board, Office of
Management and Budget, New
Executive Office Building, Washington,
DC 20503; fax 202–395–5167; or e-mail
to smar@omb.eop.gov.
Title of Collection: Jobs Reporting
under Section 1512 of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
OMB Control No.: 0430—Pending.
Description: Section 1512 of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111–5, 123 Stat. 115
(2009)) (Recovery Act) requires
recipients of Recovery Act funds to
report an estimate of the number of jobs
created or retained by particular projects
or activities. These reports are
submitted to FederalReporting.gov, and
information from these reports is later
posted to the publicly available Web site
Recovery.gov. Among other things, the
purpose of the Recovery Act is ‘‘to
preserve and create jobs and promote
economic recovery.’’ An integral part of
the nation’s recovery is the creation of
jobs. However, there has been very little
oversight of the job numbers reported by
recipients of Recovery funds. The U.S.
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) and the Inspectors General (IGs)
have done limited testing on some
recipients. The limited testing to date
has found the following: (1) Some
recipients were confused by the revised
guidance issued by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) on
December 18, 2009 (M–10–08); (2) some
recipients decided not to use the
updated jobs reporting guidance; (3) one
state recipient estimated the number of
jobs that could potentially be created;
and (4) one recipient was calculating
jobs by dividing average salaries by the
number of employees. Therefore, a
statistically valid sample test would
provide the insight needed to better
understand these jobs numbers. The

sample would be approximately 200
recipients and should provide enough
data to determine whether the jobs
numbers reported are reasonable. The
information requested would be limited
to the recipients’ policies and
procedures for compiling and reporting
the jobs data; documentation for the jobs
reported; and identifying any on-going
challenges faced in complying with the
job reporting requirements. The
information requested in most
circumstances will be less than 10
pages.
Affected Public: Recipients, as
defined in section 1512(b)(1) of the
Recovery Act, of Recovery Act funds.
Total Estimated Number or
Respondents: 200.
Frequency of Responses: Once.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 400.

June 25, 2010.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on June 21,
2010, the Chicago Board Options
Exchange, Incorporated (‘‘CBOE’’ or the
‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by CBOE. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission,
CBOE included statements concerning
the purpose of and basis for the
proposed rule change and discussed any
comments it received on the proposed
rule change. The text of these statements
may be examined at the places specified
in Item IV below. CBOE has prepared
summaries, set forth in Sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
In connection with the
demutualization of the Exchange
through which the Exchange is
restructuring from a non-stock
corporation to a stock corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CBOE
Holdings, Inc., the Exchange has
amended its Rules to provide for the use
of Trading Permits, instead of
memberships, to access the Exchange.
CBOE Rule 2.20 grants the Exchange
the authority to, from time to time, fix
the fees and charges payable by Trading
Permit Holders. The purpose of this
proposed rule change is to establish the
initial fees for CBOE’s initial postdemutualization Trading Permits, tier
appointment and bandwidth packets.
These post-demutualization Trading
Permits, tier appointment and
bandwidth packets will become
effective immediately following the
close of trading on the date of the
closing of the Exchange’s
demutualization transaction, and CBOE
members on the date of the closing of
the demutualization transaction will
retain their then current access to the
Exchange until the close of trading on
that date. The Exchange also proposes to
amend the CBOE Stock Exchange, LLC
(‘‘CBSX’’) 3 Fees Schedule to crossreference that CBSX Trading Permit
access fees are set forth in the CBOE
3 CBSX is a facility of CBOE for the trading of
non-option securities, and trading on CBSX is
governed by CBOE Rules.

demutualization Trading Permits, tier
appointment and bandwidth packets.
The text of the proposed rule change is
available on the Exchange’s Web site
(https://www.cboe.org/Legal/), at the
Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, at
the Commission’s Public Reference
Room, and on the Commission’s Web
site at https://www.sec.gov.
