RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
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 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.
Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA), provides for the payment of
an annuity to the spouse or divorced
spouse of a retired railroad employee.
For the spouse or divorced spouse to
qualify for an annuity, the RRB must
determine if any of the employee’s
current marriage to the applicant is
valid.
The requirements for obtaining
documentary evidence to determine
valid marital relationships are
prescribed in 20 CFR 219.30 through
219.35. Section 2(e) of the RRA requires
that an employee must relinquish all
rights to any railroad employer service
before a spouse annuity can be paid.
The RRB uses Form G–346 to obtain
the information needed to determine
whether the employee’s current
marriage is valid. Form G–346 is
completed by the retired employee who
is the husband or wife of the applicant
emcdonald on DSK29S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Form number
for a spouse annuity. Completion is
required to obtain a benefit. One
response is requested of each
respondent.
In accordance with amended
regulation 20 CFR 217.17, the RRB
proposes the implementation of Form
G–346sum. Proposed Form G–346sum,
which will mirror the information
collected on Form G–346, will be used
when an employee, after being
interviewed by an RRB field office staff
member ‘‘signs’’ the form using an
alternative signature method known as
‘‘attestation.’’ Attestation refers to the
action taken by the RRB field office
employee to confirm and annotate the
RRB’s records of the applicant’s
affirmation under penalty of perjury that
the information provided is correct and
the applicant’s agreement to sign the
form by proxy. Completion is required
to obtain a benefit. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (76 FR 62098 on October
6, 2011) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Employee’s Certification.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0140.
Form(s) submitted: G–346 and
G–346sum.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: Under Section 2 of the
Railroad Retirement Act, spouses of
retired railroad employees may be
entitled to an annuity. The collection
obtains information from the employee
about the employee’s previous
marriages, if any, to determine if any
impediment exists to the marriage
between the employee and his or her
spouse.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no changes to Form
G–346 and the implementation of new
Form G–346sum.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1)1 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
‘‘Act’’) 2 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,3
notice is hereby given that, on April 27,
2012, NYSE Arca, Inc. (the ‘‘Exchange’’
or ‘‘NYSE Arca’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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 Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to amend the
NYSE Arca Equities Fee Schedule (‘‘Fee
Schedule’’) to make a correction to the
Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C Step Up
Tiers. The proposed change will be
operative on May 1, 2012. The text of
the proposed rule change is available at
the Exchange, www.nyse.com, and the
Commission’s Public Reference Room.
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

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
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend the
Fee Schedule to make a correction to the
Tape A, Tape B, and Tape C Step Up
Tiers. These fees were adopted as of
March 1, 2012.4 As described in more
detail below, in certain provisions of the
Fee Schedule, the Exchange
inadvertently made a reference to
‘‘Baseline Month’’ when it should have
instead referred to ‘‘billing month.’’
Tape A Step Up Tier
Currently, the Tape A Step Up Tier
allows ETP Holders and Market Makers
that take liquidity from the Book to pay
a reduced fee of $0.0029 per share if
they directly execute providing volume
in Tape A Securities during the billing
month (‘‘Tape A Adding ADV’’) that is
at least the greater of (a) the ETP
Holder’s or Market Maker’s January
2012 (‘‘Baseline Month’’) Tape A
Adding ADV (‘‘Tape A Baseline ADV’’)
plus 0.075% of US Tape A Consolidated
Average Daily Share Volume (‘‘CADV’’)
for the Baseline Month or (b) the ETP
Holder’s or Market Maker’s Tape A
Baseline ADV plus 20%, subject to the
ETP Holders’ and Market Makers’ total
providing liquidity in Tape A, Tape B,
and Tape C Securities increasing in an
amount no less than 0.03% of US CADV
over their Baseline Month providing
liquidity.
Additionally, if a firm’s ratio of Tape
A Baseline ADV to its total Tape A
average daily volume (‘‘ADV’’) during
the Baseline Month is less than 30%,
the $0.0029 rate would only apply to the
ETP Holder’s or Market Maker’s shares
that are executed in an amount up to
and including 0.75% of the US Tape A
CADV during the billing month. The
rate of $0.0030 per share would apply
to the ETP Holder’s or Market Maker’s
remaining shares that are executed,
unless the ETP Holder’s or Market
Maker’s Tape A Adding ADV is greater
than its Tape A Baseline ADV by at least
0.25% of the US Tape A CADV during
the billing month. Investor Tier ETP
Holders or Investor Tier Market Makers
cannot qualify for the Tape A Step Up
Tier.
