The Exchange also believes it is fair and equitable not to charge a taker fee, nor provide a maker rebate, to PMMs when they trade report a public customer order in compliance with their linkage obligations. The PMM neither receives a financial benefit in the form of a rebate from performing its obligations, nor is it subject to the burden of paying the taker fee. The Exchange believe this is the most fair way to approach the PMM trade report function under the maker/taker pricing model, as categorizing the PMM trade report as a maker or taker would either provide an inequitable benefit to PMMs or place an inequitable burden on PMMs. The proposal to codify the application of the maker/taker pricing model to PMM trade reports will add transparency to the Exchange’s Schedule of Fees.

OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following 
addresses or fax numbers.

    II. SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for 
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collection 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 10, 2012. Individuals can obtain copies of the 
OMB clearance packages by calling the SSA Reports Clearance Director at 
410-965-8783 or by writing to the above email address.
    Third Party Liability Information Statement--42 CFR 433.136-
433.139--0960-0323. States may enter into agreements with the 
Commissioner of Social Security to make Medicaid eligibility 
determinations for aged, blind, and disabled beneficiaries in those 
states. Applications for and redeterminations of SSI eligibility in 
jurisdictions with such agreements are applications and 
redeterminations of Medicaid eligibility.
    To reduce Medicaid costs, Medicaid state agencies must identify 
third party insurers liable for medical care or services for Medicaid 
beneficiaries. Regulations at 42 CFR 433.136-433.139 require Medicaid 
state agencies to obtain this information on Medicaid applications and 
redeterminations as a condition of Medicaid eligibility. The Medicaid 
state agencies use the information to bill third parties liable for 
medical care, support, or services for a beneficiary to guarantee that 
Medicaid remains the payer of last resort. Under the Medicaid 
agreements, SSA obtains third party liability information using Form 
SSA-8019, and provides that information to the Medicaid state agencies. 
The respondents are SSI claimants and recipients.

    Note:  This is a correction notice: SSA published this 
information collection as an extension on January 31, 2012 at 77 FR 
4854. Since we are revising the Privacy Act Statement, this is now a
