Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 27, 2012 / Notices
thereunder applicable to the Exchange
and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) of the Act.8 Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Section
6(b)(5) 9 requirements that the rules of
an exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts, to remove impediments to and to
perfect the mechanism for a free and
open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest.
Increasing the CQL for Facebook allows
more Market-Makers to quote in that
product, which provides greater volume
and more trading activity for all market
participants, thereby perfecting the
mechanism for a free and open market.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
CBOE does not believe that the
proposed rule change will impose any
burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange neither solicited nor
received comments on the proposed
rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule
change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant
burden on competition; and (iii) become
operative for 30 days after the date of
the filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, it has
become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 10 and Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) thereunder.11
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 12 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, pursuant
to Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii),13 the
Commission may designate a shorter

11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6) requires a self-regulatory organization to give
the Commission written notice of its intent to file
the proposed rule change at least five business days
prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this
requirement.

time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public
interest. The Exchange has asked the
Commission to waive the 30-day
operative delay so that the proposal may
become operative immediately upon
filing. The Exchange notes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay will enable
the additional Market-Makers to start
quoting on Facebook immediately,
thereby providing greater volume and
more trading activity in that product.
The Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the
public interest, as it will allow CBOE to
respond without delay to what it has
identified to be current market demand
for increased quoting capacity in
options overlying Facebook stock and
thereby will help accommodate current
market interest. Further, the Exchange
has represented that it has the systems
capacity to accommodate the additional
quotation activity. Accordingly, the
Commission designates the proposed
rule change to be operative upon filing
with the Commission.14
At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the
Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such
action is necessary or appropriate in the
public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of
the purposes of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 28, 2008, the President signed
into law the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008
(Pub. L. 110–181), which created the
Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR).
SIGAR is responsible for coordinating
and conducting audits and
investigations to promote efficiency and
effectiveness of reconstruction
programs, and to detect and prevent
waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers’
dollars. Under 5 U.S.C. § 301, heads of
Executive or military departments may
prescribe regulations governing the
conduct of its employees and the
custody, use, and preservation of the
department’s records, papers, and
property. To facilitate SIGAR’s audits,
investigations, and other operations, it
plans to create the following systems of
records:
SIGAR–04 Freedom of Information
Act and Privacy Act Records;
SIGAR–05 Audit Records;
SIGAR–06 Correspondence Records;
SIGAR–07 Hotline Records;
SIGAR–08 Investigation Records;
SIGAR–09 Legal Records;
SIGAR–10 Legislative Inquiries and
Correspondence.
In the notice of proposed rulemaking,
amending 5 CFR Part 9301, which is
published separately in the Federal
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:05 Jun 26, 2012

Register, SIGAR is proposing to exempt

requirements pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(j)(2) and (k)(2).
The Report of the a new system of
records, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r)
of the Privacy Act, has been submitted
to the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, the Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of
Management and Budget, pursuant to
Appendix I to OMB Circular A–130,
‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for
Maintaining Records About
Individuals,’’ dated November 30, 2000.
Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5,
United States Code, provide that an
agency public a notice of the
establishment or revision of a record
system which affords the public a
30-day period in which to submit

(Pub. L. 110-181), which created the Special Inspector General for
Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). SIGAR is responsible for
coordinating and conducting audits and investigations to promote
efficiency and effectiveness of reconstruction programs, and to detect
and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayers' dollars. Under 5
U.S.C. Sec. 301, heads of Executive or military departments may
prescribe regulations governing the conduct of its employees and the
custody, use, and preservation of the department's records, papers, and
property. To facilitate SIGAR's audits, investigations, and other
operations, it plans to create the following systems of records:
SIGAR-04 Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act Records;
SIGAR-05 Audit Records;
SIGAR-06 Correspondence Records;
SIGAR-07 Hotline Records;
SIGAR-08 Investigation Records;
SIGAR-09 Legal Records;
SIGAR-10 Legislative Inquiries and Correspondence.
In the notice of proposed rulemaking, amending 5 CFR Part 9301,
which is published separately in the Federal Register, SIGAR is
proposing to exempt records maintained in several systems from certain
of the Privacy Act's requirements pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2) and
(k)(2).
The Report of the a new system of records, as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(r) of the Privacy Act, has been submitted to the Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate,
and the Office of Management and Budget, pursuant to Appendix I to OMB
Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining
Records About Individuals,'' dated November 30, 2000.
Sections 552a(e)(4) and (11) of title 5, United States Code,
provide that an agency public a notice of the establishment or revision
of a record system which affords the public a 30-day period in which to
submit comments. To meet this requirement, descriptions of the three
new systems of records are published in their entirety below.
