wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES
of the CBOE Audit Committee are fully
duplicated by the CBOE Holdings Audit
Committee. Further, the CBOE
Regulatory Oversight Committee has
broad authority to oversee the adequacy
and effectiveness of CBOE’s regulatory
responsibilities and is able to maintain
oversight over internal controls in
tandem with the CBOE Holdings Audit
Committee. Accordingly, elimination of
the CBOE Audit Committee should not
impact the ability of the CBOE Board or
the CBOE Regulatory Oversight
Committee to maintain substantial and
independent oversight of the Exchange’s
regulatory program.
Finally, the Commission finds that the
proposed changes to the compositional
requirements for the CBOE Board of
Directors and Executive Committee are
consistent with the Act. The
Commission notes these proposed
changes are designed to align CBOE’s
compositional requirements with those
of its affiliated exchange, which were
previously approved by the
Commission.24 In addition, the change
is similar to the treatment of ‘‘Staff
Governors’’ that the Commission
previously approved for another selfregulatory organization.25
Though, as revised, the Executive
Committee would not have 20% of its
members that are elected by Permit
Holders (as the Board is required to
have), CBOE has represented that the
role of its Executive Committee does not
involve it routinely acting in place of
the Board. Rather, CBOE represented
that its Executive Committee generally
does not make a decision unless there
is a need for a CBOE Board-level
decision between CBOE Board meetings
due to the time sensitivity of the
matter.26 In addition, in situations when
the Executive Committee does make a
decision between CBOE Board meetings,
the CBOE Board is generally aware
60687 (September 18, 2009), 74 FR 49060
(September 25, 2009) (SR–Phlx–2009–59).
24 See C2 Approval Order, supra note 20, 74 FR
at 66701–66702 (noting that ‘‘requirement that the
number of Non-Industry Directors equal or exceed
the number of Industry Directors on the Board is
designed to assure the inclusion of a significant
non-industry presence in the governance of the
Exchange, which the Commission believes is a
critical element in the Exchange’s ability to protect
the public interest.’’).
25 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44280
(May 8, 2001), 66 FR 26892 (May 15, 2001) (SR–
NASD–2001–06)(approving amendment to NASD
By-Laws to allow for the treatment of Staff
Governors as ‘‘neutral’’ for purposes of Industry/
Non-Industry balancing on the NASD Board of
Governors).

ahead of time of the potential that the
Executive Committee may need to make
the decision. The CBOE Board is fully
informed of any decision made by the
Executive Committee at its next meeting
and can always decide to review that
decision and take a different action.27
Accordingly, the CBOE Board, including
the Representative Directors, will
continue to have final say on any matter
considered by the Executive Committee.
IV. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,28 that the
proposed rule change (SR–CBOE–2011–
010), as modified by Amendment No. 1,
be, and hereby is, approved.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.29

Deputy Secretary.

20 CFR 404.635, 404.2035, 404.2065,

determines it is not in an Old Age
Survivors and Disability Insurance

The representative payee can be (1) A
family member; (2) a non-family

acquainted with the beneficiary; (3) an
organization; (4) a state or local

this capacity, the person or organization
receives the SSA recipient’s payments
directly and manages these payments.
As part of its stewardship mandate, SSA
must ensure the representative payees
are properly using the payments they
receive for the recipients they represent.
The agency annually collects the
information necessary to make this
assessment using the SSA–623—
Representative Payee Report—Adult,
SSA–6230—Representative Payee

Organizational Representative Payees),
and through the electronic internet

II. SSA submitted the information
collections listed 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
no later than May 2, 2011. You can
obtain a copy of the OMB clearance
package by calling the SSA Reports

writing to the above e-mail address.
1. Petition To Obtain Approval of a
Fee for Representing a Claimant Before
the SSA— 20 CFR 404.1720 and
404.1725; 20 CFR 416.1520 and
416.1525—0960–0104. A Social Security
claimant’s representative, whether an
attorney or a non-attorney, uses Form
SSA–1560–U4 to petition SSA for
authorization to charge and collect a fee.
A claimant may also use the form to
agree or disagree with the requested fee
amount or other information the
representative provides on the form.
The SSA official responsible for setting
the fee uses the information from the
form to determine a reasonable fee
amount representatives may charge for
their services. The respondents are
attorneys and non-attorneys who
represent Social Security claimants.

Claiming SSI Benefits—0960–0499.
Section 1631(d)(2) of the Social Security
Act gives the agency the authority to

SSI benefits. Section 20 CFR 416.912(a)
of the Code of Federal Regulations states
an applicant must furnish medical and
other evidence SSA can use to reach
conclusions about a child’s medical
condition. Parents or legal guardians use
the SSA–3881–BK to provide SSA with
the names and addresses of non-medical
sources such as schools, counselors,
agencies, organizations, or therapists

who would have information about a
child’s functioning. SSA uses this
information to help determine a child’s
eligibility or continuing eligibility for
SSI when conducting a continuing
disability review or in the appeals
process. The respondents are applicants
who appeal SSI childhood disability
decisions or recipients undergoing a
continuing disability review. This is a
correction notice: SSA published this

OMB-approved information collection.
