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 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.

Under section 2(e)(3) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), an annuity is not payable for any month in which a beneficiary works for a railroad. In addition, an annuity is reduced for any month in which the beneficiary works for an employer other than a railroad employer and earns more than a prescribed amount. Under the 1988 amendments to the RRA, the Tier II portion of the regular annuity and any supplemental annuity must be reduced by one dollar for each two dollars of Last Pre-Retirement Non-Railroad Employment (LPE) earnings for each month of such service. However, the reduction cannot exceed fifty percent of the Tier II and supplemental annuity amount for the month to which such SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\09FEN1.SGM 09FEN1 6828 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 27 / Thursday, February 9, 2012 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES deductions apply. The LPE generally refers to an annuitant’s last employment with a non-railroad person, company, or institution prior to retirement, which was performed either at the same time as railroad employment, or after an annuitant stopped railroad employment. The collection obtains earnings information needed by the RRB to determine if possible reductions in annuities are in order due to LPE. The RRB utilizes Form G–19L, Annual Earnings Questionnaire for Annuitants in Last Pre-Retirement NonRailroad Employment, to obtain LPE earnings information from annuitants. One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is required to retain a benefit. Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the initial 60-day notice (76 FR 71087 on November 16, 2011) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

Type of request: Extension without change of a currently approved collection. Affected public: Individuals or Households. Abstract: Under Section 2(e)(3) of the Railroad Retirement Act, an annuity is not payable or is reduced for any month in which the beneficiary works for a railroad or earns more than the prescribed amounts. The collection obtains earnings information needed by the Railroad Retirement Board to determine possible reductions in annuities because of earnings.

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 2 thereunder, notice is hereby given that on January 25, 2012, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC (‘‘Phlx’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III 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. I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Terms of the Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange proposes to amend Exchange Rule 1082, Firm Quotations, by modifying Exchange Rules 1017, Openings in Options, and 1082, Firm Quotations, to describe the manner in which the PHLX XL® automated options trading system 3 will disseminate quotations when (i) there is an ‘‘Opening Imbalance’’ (as described below) in a particular series, and (ii) there is a ‘‘Quote Exhaust’’ quote condition (as described below) present in a particular series. In addition, the current rules describing the Exchange’s disseminated quotations during an Opening Imbalance and a Quote Exhaust condition are subject to a pilot 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. 3 This proposal refers to ‘‘PHLX XL’’ as the Exchange’s automated options trading system. In May 2009 the Exchange enhanced the system and adopted corresponding rules referring to the system as ‘‘Phlx XL II.’’ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR–Phlx–2009–32). The Exchange intends to submit a separate technical proposed rule change that would change all references to the system from ‘‘Phlx XL II’’ to ‘‘PHLX XL’’ for branding purposes. 2 17 PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 scheduled to expire February 29, 2012. The Exchange proposes to discontinue the pilot and to adopt the proposed new rules on a permanent basis. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange’s Web site at https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/micro. aspx?id=PHLXRulefilings, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the 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 these 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 aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and the Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to establish a quote condition in which one side of an option quotation (bid or offer) disseminated by the Exchange will be designated as nonfirm during an ‘‘Opening Imbalance’’ or a ‘‘Quote Exhaust’’ while the opposite side of the market from the ‘‘non-firm’’ bid or offer remains firm for the Exchange’s disseminated price and size. The proposed rule would not be effective on a pilot basis. The Exchange is proposing that this rule change would be effective on a permanent basis.4 Background In June, 2009, the Exchange added several significant enhancements to its automated options trading platform (now known as PHLX XL), and adopted rules to reflect those enhancements.5 As part of the system enhancements, the Exchange proposed to disseminate a ‘‘non-firm’’ quote condition on a bid or offer whose size is exhausted in certain situations. The non-exhausted side of the Exchange’s disseminated quotation 4 The Exchange has previously indicated its intention to implement the non-firm bid or offer functionality. See, e.g., Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65670 (November 2, 2011), 76 FR 69308 (November 8, 2011) (SR–Phlx–2011–144). 5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59995 (May 28, 2009), 74 FR 26750 (June 3, 2009) (SR– Phlx–2009–32).

an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Information

accuracy of the estimated burden of the collection; (3) ways to enhance

annuity must be reduced by one dollar for each two dollars of Last Pre-
Retirement Non-Railroad Employment (LPE) earnings for each month of 
such service. However, the reduction cannot exceed fifty percent of the

collection obtains earnings information needed by the RRB to determine 
if possible reductions in annuities are in order due to LPE.

LPE earnings information from annuitants. One response is requested of 
each respondent. Completion is required to retain a benefit.

initial 60-day notice (76 FR 71087 on November 16, 2011) required by 44
