In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Evidence of Marital
Relationship, Living with Requirements;
OMB 3220–0021.
To support an application for a
spouse or widow(er)’s annuity under
Sections 2(c) or 2(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act, an applicant must
submit proof of a valid marriage to a
railroad employee. In some cases, the
existence of a marital relationship is not
formalized by a civil or religious
ceremony. In other cases, questions may
arise about the legal termination of a
prior marriage of the employee, spouse,
or widow(er). In these instances, the
RRB must secure additional information
to resolve questionable marital
relationships. The circumstances
requiring an applicant to submit
documentary evidence of marriage are
prescribed in 20 CFR 219.30.
In the absence of documentary
evidence, the RRB needs to determine if
a valid marriage existed between a
spouse or widow(er) annuity applicant
and a railroad employee. The RRB
utilizes Forms G–124, Individual
Statement of Marital Relationship;
G–124a, Certification of Marriage
Information; G–237, Statement
Regarding Marital Status; G–238,
Statement of Residence; and G–238a,
Statement Regarding Divorce or
Annulment, to secure the needed
information. One response is requested
of each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain benefits. The RRB
proposes no changes to the forms in the
collection.

Rule 6e–2 and Form N–6EI–1; SEC File No.
270–177; OMB Control No. 3235–0177.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Rule 6e–2 (17 CFR 270.6e–2) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive
rule that provides separate accounts
formed by life insurance companies to
fund certain variable life insurance
products, exemptions from certain
provisions of the Act, subject to
conditions set forth in the rule. The rule
sets forth several information collection
requirements.
Rule 6e–2 provides a separate account
with an exemption from the registration
provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if
the account files with the Commission
Form N–6EI–1 (17 CFR 274.301), a
notification of claim of exemption.
The rule also exempts a separate
account from a number of other sections
of the Act, provided that the separate
account makes certain disclosure in its
registration statements (in the case of
those separate account that elect to
register), reports to contract holders,
proxy solicitations, and submissions to
state regulatory authorities, as
prescribed by the rule.
Paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e–2 provides
an exemption from the requirements of
section 17(f) of the Act and imposes a
reporting burden and certain other
conditions. Section 17(f) requires that
every registered management company
meet various custody requirements for
its securities and similar investments.
The exemption provided in paragraph
(b)(9) applies only to management
accounts that offer life insurance
contracts.
Since 2008, there have been no filings
under paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e–2 by
management accounts. Therefore, there
has been no cost or burden to the
industry regarding the information
collection requirements of paragraph
(b)(9) of rule 6e–2. In addition, there
have been no filings of Form N–6EI–1
by separate accounts. The Commission
requests authorization to maintain an
inventory of one burden hour for
administrative purposes.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number.

November 14, 2011.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on November
7, 2011, the C2 Options Exchange,
Incorporated (‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘C2’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) the

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
Exchange 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.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
Through this rule change, the
Exchange proposes to codify in its rules
a service the Exchange offers to help
Market-Makers manage their quotations.
C2 Rules require Market-Makers to
maintain continuous electronic quotes.5
To comply with this requirement, each
Market-Maker can employ its own
proprietary quotation and risk
management systems to determine the
prices and sizes at which it quotes.
A Market-Maker’s risk in an options
class is not limited to the risk in a single
series of that class. Rather, a MarketMaker typically is active in quoting in
multiple option classes, and each such
option class can comprise dozens of
individual option series. On C2, trades
are automatically effected against a
Market-Maker’s then current quote. As a
result, a Market-Maker faces exposure in
all series of a class, requiring that the
Market-Maker off-set or otherwise hedge
its overall position in a class. The QRM
functionality helps Market-Makers limit
this overall exposure and risk.
Specifically, the functionality permits a
Market-Maker to establish parameters in
the system to cancel its electronic
quotes in all series of an option class
until the Market-Maker refreshes those
electronic quotes.
Under proposed Rule 8.12, each
Market-Maker that elect to use the
functionality would be required to
specify two parameters that the QRM
Mechanism would use to determine

Rule 6e-2 and Form N-6EI-1; SEC File No. 270-177; OMB Control
No. 3235-0177.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
Rule 6e-2 (17 CFR 270.6e-2) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a) is an exemptive rule that provides
separate accounts formed by life insurance companies to fund certain
variable life insurance products, exemptions from certain provisions of
the Act, subject to conditions set forth in the rule. The rule sets
forth several information collection requirements.
Rule 6e-2 provides a separate account with an exemption from the
registration provisions of section 8(a) of the Act if the account files
with the Commission Form N-6EI-1 (17 CFR 274.301), a notification of
claim of exemption.
The rule also exempts a separate account from a number of other
sections of the Act, provided that the separate account makes certain
disclosure in its registration statements (in the case of those
separate account that elect to register), reports to contract holders,
proxy solicitations, and submissions to state regulatory authorities,
as prescribed by the rule.
Paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e-2 provides an exemption from the
requirements of section 17(f) of the Act and imposes a reporting burden
and certain other conditions. Section 17(f) requires that every
registered management company meet various custody requirements for its
securities and similar investments. The exemption provided in paragraph
(b)(9) applies only to management accounts that offer life insurance
contracts.
Since 2008, there have been no filings under paragraph (b)(9) of
rule 6e-2 by management accounts. Therefore, there has been no cost or

requirements of paragraph (b)(9) of rule 6e-2. In addition, there have
been no filings of Form N-6EI-1 by separate accounts. The Commission
requests authorization to maintain an inventory of one burden hour for
