RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
Summary: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
an Information Collection Request (ICR)
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). Our
ICR describes the information we seek
to collect from the public. Review and
approval by OIRA ensures that we
impose appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB uses a Personal
Identification Number (PIN)/Password
system that allows RRB customers to
conduct business with the agency
electronically. As part of the system, the
RRB collects information needed to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:12 May 24, 2011
Jkt 223001
establish a unique PIN/Password that
allows customer access to RRB Internetbased services. The information
collected is matched against records of
the railroad employee that are
maintained by the RRB. If the
information is verified, the request is
approved and the RRB mails a Password
Request Code (PRC) to the requestor. If
the information provided cannot be
verified, the requestor is advised to
contact the nearest field office of the
RRB to resolve the discrepancy. Once a
PRC is obtained from the RRB, the
requestor can apply for a PIN/Password
online. Once the PIN/Password has been
established, the requestor has access to
RRB Internet-based services. The RRB
estimates that approximately 9,613
requests for PRCs and 9,613 PIN/
Passwords are received annually and
that it takes 5 minutes per response to
secure a PRC and 1.5 minutes to
establish a PIN/Password. Two
responses are requested of each
respondent and completion is
voluntary. However, the RRB will be
unable to provide a PRC or allow a
requestor to establish a PIN/Password

(thereby denying system access), if the
requests are not completed.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collection of information to
determine (1) The practical utility of the
collection; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collection; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (76 FR 15351) required by
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2) on March 21, 2011.
That request elicited no comments.

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to adopt
Commentary .12 to NYSE Arca Rule 6.4
to permit the listing of additional
expiration months if such expiration
months are listed on another exchange.
The text of the proposed rule change is
available at the Exchange’s principal
office, at https://www.nyse.com, at the
Commission’s Public Reference Room,
and at the Commission’s Web site at
https://www.sec.gov.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
self-regulatory organization 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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries,
set forth in sections A, B, and C below,
of the most significant parts of such
statements.

Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change

change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared
by the Exchange. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
1. Purpose
The purpose of this proposed rule
change is to permit the Exchange to list
additional expiration months if such
expiration months are listed on another
exchange. This filing is based on a filing
previously submitted by the
International Securities Exchange LLC.3
Under current Rule 6.4(a), NYSE Arca
usually will open four (4) expiration
months for each type of option of a class
of options open for trading on the
Exchange: The first two (2) being the
two nearest months, regardless of the
quarterly cycle on which that class
trades; the third and fourth month being
the next two months of the quarterly
cycle previously designated by the
Exchange for the specific class. For
example, if the Exchange listed in late
September a new stock option on a
January–April–July–October quarterly
cycle, the Exchange would list the two

nearest term months (October and
November) and the next two expiration
months of the cycle (January and April).
Further, when the October series expire,
the Exchange would add the December
series as the next nearest month. And
when the November series expire, the
Exchange would add the July series as
the next month of the cycle.
In 2010, the Exchange established a
pilot program to add up to two
additional expiration months for each
class of options opened for trading on
the Exchange (the ‘‘Additional
Expiration Months Pilot’’).4 Under the
Additional Expiration Months Pilot,
NYSE Arca lists expiration months that
are considered ‘‘mid-month’’. For
example, for options classes that have
expiration months of October,
November, February, and May, the
Exchange lists the December and
January series. The listing of additional
expiration months has been well
received by OTP Holders, and has had
very limited impact on system
resources.
ISE recently submitted a filing in
response to a filing by NASDAQ OMX
PHLX, Inc. (‘‘PHLX’’).5 PHLX amended
its rules so that it can open ‘‘at least one
expiration month’’ for each class of
standard options open for trading on
that exchange. Consequently, while
NYSE Arca is currently restricted to
listing a limited number of expiration
months that are permissible under its
rules and the Additional Months
Expiration Months Pilot, PHLX has the
ability to list expiration months that
NYSE Arca would not be able to list
under its rules. Indeed, PHLX has listed
additional expiration months that no
other exchange could list at the time
they were added (ISE listed matching
series only on April 28, 2011, effective
for trading April 29, 2011). For example,
in January 2011, PHLX listed the
October 2011 expiration in Omnicare,
Inc. (ticker: OCR). Meanwhile, NYSE
Arca could not list the October 2011
series under Rule 6.4(a) because the
standard expiration months for OCR at
the time were February, March, June,
and September. NYSE Arca could not
list the October 2011 series as part of the
Additional Expiration Months Pilot
because OCR is not one of the classes
selected by the Exchange to participate
in the Additional Expiration Months
Pilot. As a result, PHLX was the only

(January 11, 2011) 76 FR 2931 (January 18, 2011)
(SR–PHLX–2011–04). In its filing, PHLX cites to the
Commission’s approval of the NASDAQ Options
Market (‘‘NOM’’) and rules pertaining thereto as the
basis for making the change to its rules.
