principles of trade, will remove
impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, protects investors and the
public interest.
The proposed rule change provides
transparency and certainty with respect
to how orders are routed by the
Exchange. In so doing, the proposed
rule change promotes the maintenance
of a fair and orderly market, the
protection of investors and the
protection of the public interest,
consistent with the Act and the rules
promulgated thereunder.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will impose
any inappropriate burden on
competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange has neither solicited
nor received written comments on the
proposed rule change.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The Exchange has filed the proposed
rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 8 and Rule
19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.9 Because the
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
prior to 30 days from the date on which
it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the
proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)
of the Act and Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii)
thereunder.10
A proposed rule change filed under
Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 11 normally does not
become operative prior to 30 days after
the date of the filing. However, pursuant
8 15
U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6).
10 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b–
4(f)(6)(iii) requires the Exchange to give the
Commission written notice of the Exchange’s intent
to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief
description and text of 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.

to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),12 the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such
action is consistent with the protection
of investors and the public interest.
The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative
delay. The Commission believes that
waiver of the operative delay is
consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest
because such waiver will allow the
Exchange to route certain orders to
additional Trading Centers that may
execute such orders faster and at the
best price available. In addition, the
proposed rule change will provide
clarity regarding the manner in which
the Exchange routes certain orders and
should eliminate potential confusion in
NSX Rules. Therefore, the Commission
designates the proposal as operative
upon filing with the Commission.13
At any time within sixty (60) days of
the filing of such 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:
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law
(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
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 protections for
such persons.
The Privacy Act, as amended,
regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when records in a
system of records are matched 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 the approval of the
matching agreement by the Data
Integrity Boards of the participating
Federal agencies;
(3) Publish notice of the computermatching program in the Federal
Register;
(4) Furnish detailed reports about
matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that their records are subject to
matching; and
(6) Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, terminating, or
denying a person’s benefits or
payments.

the Privacy Act

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. General
The Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988 (Public
Law (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 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 protections for such persons.
The Privacy Act, as amended, regulates the use of computer matching
by Federal agencies when records in a system of records are matched
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 the 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 detailed reports about matching programs to Congress
and OMB;
(5) Notify applicants and beneficiaries 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. SSA 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.

The purpose of this matching program is for the Department of
Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families,

Directory of New Hires (NDNH) to allow us to determine eligibility of
applicants for Extra Help (low-income subsidy assistance) under the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003

Act. 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(9) and (11).
This Agreement assists us (1) in determining eligibility of
applicants for Extra Help; (2) in re-determining eligibility of
existing Extra Help beneficiaries during periodic screening; and (3) in
administering the Extra Help program.
C. Authority for Conducting the Matching Program
The legal authority for disclosures under this Agreement are the

653(j)(4), 1386(f), and 1395w-114. Disclosures under this Agreement
shall be made in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3), and in compliance
with the matching procedures in 5 U.S.C. 552a(o), (p), and (r).
Section 1860D-14(a)(3)(B) of the Act provides that ``[t]he
determination of whether a part D eligible individual residing in a
State is a subsidy eligible individual * * * shall be determined under
the State plan under title XIX for the State under section 1935(a) or
by the Commissioner of Social Security.'' 42 U.S.C. 1395w-114(a)(3)(B).
D. Categories of Records and Persons Covered by the Matching Program
OCSE and us published notice of the relevant Systems of Records

We will provide OCSE the following data elements electronically in
the finder file:
