Therefore, the same portfolio information will be provided on the public Web site, as well as in electronic files provided to Authorized Purchasers. Accordingly, each investor will have access to the current portfolio composition of the Fund through the Fund’s Web site. Lastly, the trading of Units will be subject to NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.200, Commentary .02(e), which sets forth certain restrictions on ETP Holders 19 acting as registered Market Makers 20 in Trust Issued Receipts to facilitate surveillance. The Exhange has represented that Units are deemed equity securities subject to the Exchange’s rules governing the trading of equity securities. In support of this proposal, the Exchange has made representations, including the following: (1) The Fund will meet the initial and continued listing requirements applicable to Trust Issued Receipts in NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.200 and Commentary .02 thereto. (2) The Exchange has appropriate rules to facilitate transactions in the Units during all trading sessions. (3) The Exchange’s surveillance procedures are adequate to properly monitor Exchange trading of the Units in all trading sessions and to deter and detect violations of Exchange rules and applicable Federal securities laws. The Exchange is able to obtain information regarding trading in the Units, the physical commodities included in, or options, futures, or options on futures on, Units through ETP Holders, in connection with such ETP Holders’ proprietary or customer trades which they effect on any relevant market. The Exchange currently has in place an Information Sharing Agreement with the ICE and LME for the purpose of providing information in connection with trading in or related to Futures Contracts traded on their respective exchanges. The Exchange can obtain market surveillance information, including customer identity information, with respect to transactions occurring on the exchanges that are members of the Intermarket Surveillance Group (‘‘ISG’’), including CME, CBOT, COMEX, and NYMEX.

(5) Prior to the commencement of trading, the Exchange will inform its ETP Holders in an Information Bulletin of the special characteristics and risks associated with trading the Units. Specifically, the Information Bulletin will discuss the following: (a) The risks involved in trading the Units during the Opening and Late Trading Sessions when an updated ITV will not be calculated or publicly disseminated; (b) the procedures for purchases and redemptions of Units in Creation Baskets and Redemption Baskets (and that Units are not individually redeemable); (c) NYSE Arca Equities Rule 9.2(a), which imposes a duty of due diligence on its ETP Holders to learn the essential facts relating to every customer prior to trading the Units; (d) how information regarding the ITV is disseminated; (e) the requirement that ETP Holders deliver a prospectus to investors purchasing newly issued Units prior to or concurrently with the confirmation of a transaction; and (f) trading information. (6) A minimum of 100,000 Units will be outstanding as of the start of trading on the Exchange. (7) With respect to the application of Rule 10A–3 under the Act, the Trust will rely on the exception contained in Rule 10A–3(c)(7).22 This approval order is based on the Exchange’s representations.23 For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities exchange. 21 The Exchange notes that not all Commodity Interests may trade on markets that are members of ISG or with which the Exchange has in place a comprehensive surveillance sharing agreement. 22 See supra notes 11 and 12 and accompanying text. 23 The Commission notes that it does not regulate the market for futures in which the Fund plans to take positions, which is the responsibility of the CFTC. The CFTC has the authority to set limits on the positions that any person may take in futures on commodities. These limits may be directly set by the CFTC, or by the markets on which the futures are traded. The Commission has no role in establishing position limits on futures in commodities, even though such limits could impact a commodity-based exchange-traded product that is under the jurisdiction of the Commission.

Conclusion It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,24 that the proposed rule change (SR–NYSEArca– 2010–44) be, and it hereby is, approved.

Economic Recovery Payments Issued to Estates of Deceased Social 
Security Beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income Recipients--
0960--NEW

Background

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public 
Law 111-5, directs SSA to make one-time $250 Economic Recovery Payments 
(ERP) to certain Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental 
Security Income (SSI) recipients. In some instances, the ERP was 
returned to SSA or not deposited due to the death of an appropriately 
certified ERP beneficiary or SSI recipient. SSA has received requests 
from the estates, or the deceased's estate representative, asking SSA 
to reissue the ERP to the deceased's estate. The ARRA has no provision 
discussing payment of ERPs to estates. However, SSA's Office of the 
General Counsel (OGC) has decided the ARRA provides a right to receive 
an ERP at the time of certification, and this right does not terminate 
with the recipient's death.

Information Collection

    Because of the legal considerations discussed above, if a Social 
Security beneficiary or SSI recipient died before financially 
transacting the ERP, and the estate representatives of these 
beneficiaries/recipients approaches the agency and can provide the 
required information, SSA will provide the ERP reimbursement to the 
estate representatives.
    Because we anticipate a small pool of respondents and are asking 
only a few questions, we are not creating a form for this collection; 
rather, we will ask the required information when estate 
representatives come to a field office or call a field office on the 
phone. Once the representative provides the required information, SSA's 
OGC will verify, under the applicable state or territorial law, if the 
requesting individual meets the requirements necessary to receive the 
ERP. We will then provide the reimbursement to these estate 
representatives, who are the respondents for this information 
collection.
    Type of Request: Emergency clearance of a new information 
collection.
    Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 333 hours.

    Dated: July 21, 2010.

Reports Clearance Officer, Social Security Administration.
