SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–
503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.
552a) by describing the conditions
under which computer matching
involving the Federal government could
be performed, and by adding certain
protections for persons applying for,
and receiving, Federal benefits. Section
7201 of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–
508) further amended the Privacy Act
regarding protection for such persons.
The Privacy Act, as amended,
regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when matching
records in a system of records with
other Federal, State, or local government
records. It requires Federal agencies
involved in computer matching
programs to:
(1) Negotiate written agreements with
the other agency or agencies
participating in the matching programs;
(2) Obtain approval of the matching
agreement by the Data Integrity Boards
of the participating Federal agencies;
(3) Publish notice of the computer
matching program in the Federal
Register;
(4) Furnish reports about matching
programs to Congress and Office of
Management and Budget;
(5) Notify beneficiaries and applicants
that their records are subject to
matching; and
(6) Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, terminating, or
denying a person’s benefits or
payments.
B. RRB Computer Matches Subject to
the Privacy Act
We have taken action to ensure that
all of our computer matching programs
comply with the requirements of the
Privacy Act, as amended.

C. Notice of Computer Matching
Program: RRB With State Agencies
1. Name of Participating Agencies:
The Railroad Retirement Board and
agencies of all 50 states which provide
unemployment or sickness benefits.
2. Purpose of the Match: To identify
individuals who have improperly
collected benefits provided by the RRB
under the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act while earning
remuneration in non-railroad
employment or while collecting
unemployment or sickness benefits paid
by a state agency.
3. Authority for Conducting the
Match: The Social Security Act (42
U.S.C. 503(c)(1)), and Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (45
U.S.C. 231(b) and 362(f)). Disclosures
under this agreement are made in
accordance with the Privacy Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3)) and in
compliance with the matching
procedures in the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.
552a(o), (p), and (r)).
4. Categories of Records and
Individuals Covered: All recipients of
benefits under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act during a
given period who reside in the states
with which the RRB has negotiated a
computer matching program agreement.
Records furnished by the states are
covered under Privacy Act system of
records RRB–21, Railroad
Unemployment and Sickness Insurance
Benefit System, which was published in
the Federal Register (FR) on July 26,
2010 (75 FR 43725).
5. Inclusive Dates of the Matching
Program: This computer matching
program is effective August 10, 2012
through February 10, 2015. Before
becoming effective the following notice
periods must have lapsed: 30 Days after
publication in the Federal Register and
40 days after notice of the matching
program sent to Congress and OMB. The
computer matching program is valid for
18 months from the effective date and,
if both agencies meet certain conditions,
the RRB may grant a one-time extension
of another 12 months. The number of
matches conducted with each state
during the period of the match will vary
from state to state, depending on
whether the computer matching
agreement provides for matches to be
conducted quarterly or every six
months.
6. Procedure: The RRB will furnish
the state agency a file of records. The
data elements will consist of beneficiary
identifying information, such as name
and Social Security Number (SSN), as
well as the overall period during which
the individual received benefits under
E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM
05JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 129 / Thursday, July 5, 2012 / Notices
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Act. The state agency will match the
identifying information. If the matching
operation reveals that the individual
who had received benefits under the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
also received either unemployment or
sickness insurance benefits from the
state for any days in the period, the state
agency will notify the RRB. Depending
on arrangements made between the two
jurisdictions, and, in the case of state
sickness benefits, on the applicable state
law, either the RRB or the state agency
will attempt to recover the amount of
the duplicate payments.
If the matching operation reveals that
wages had been reported for the
individual during the requested period,
the state will notify the RRB of this fact
and furnish a breakdown of the wages,
as well as the name and address of each
employer who reported earnings for the
individual. The RRB will then contact
each employer who reported earnings
for the individual for the given period.
Only if the employment is verified will
the RRB take action to recover the
overpayment. If the RRB benefits had
been paid under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act, recovery
is limited to payments made for those
days on which the individual was
gainfully employed.
7. Other information: The notice we
are giving here is in addition to any
individual notice. We will file a report
with the Committee on Homeland
Security and Governmental Affairs of
the Senate, the Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform of the House of
Representatives, and the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).

from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
EDGX proposes to modify existing
routing options contained in EDGX Rule
11.9(b)(3) to provide Users 3 with new
simultaneous routing functionality as a
means by which Members’ orders may
be routed to certain destinations on the
System routing table. The text of the
proposed rule change is attached as
Exhibit 5 and is available on the

principal office, and at the Public
Reference Room of the Commission.
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 these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
self-regulatory organization 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 Exchange’s current list of routing
options is codified in Rule 11.9(b)(3). In
this filing, the Exchange proposes to
amend paragraph (3) of Rule 11.9(b) to
indicate that the Exchange reserves the
right to route orders both sequentially
and simultaneously. This amendment
allows for simultaneous routing to
certain destinations on the System
routing table. With respect to Rules
11.9(b)(3)(a), (b), (h), and (m),
specifically, the Exchange currently
sends orders to certain destinations on
the System routing table only in a
sequential manner. For example, if an
order cannot be filled after checking for
available shares on the Exchange’s book,
the Exchange will route such order to
certain destinations on the System
routing table one at a time until all such
destinations are exhausted, the order is
cancelled, or the order is filled. As a
result of the proposed change in
functionality, which would allow such
