immediate data validation to ensure
accuracy of the respondent’s personal
information. The e-Government
initiative mandates that agencies utilize
e-QIP for all investigations and
reinvestigations. A variable in assessing
burden hours is the nature of the
electronic application. The electronic
application includes branching
questions and instructions which
provide for a tailored collection from
the respondent based on varying factors
in the respondent’s personal history.
The burden on the respondent is
reduced when the respondent’s personal
history is not relevant to a particular
question, since the question branches,
or expands for additional details, only
for those persons who have pertinent
information to provide regarding that
line of questioning. As such, the burden
on the respondent will vary depending
on whether the information collection
relates to the respondent’s personal
history. Additionally, once entered, a
respondent’s complete and certified
investigative data remains secured in
the e-QIP system until the next time the
respondent is sponsored by an agency to
complete a new investigative form.
Upon initiation, the respondent’s
previously entered data (except ‘‘yes/
no’’ questions) will populate a new
investigative request and the respondent
will be allowed to update information
and certify the data. In this instance,
time to complete the form is reduced
significantly.
OPM proposes the following changes
to instructions in the SF 86. The section,
‘‘Instructions for Completing This Form
(Paper Form Only),’’ will be amended to
delete the instruction ‘‘If additional
space is required for an explanation or
to list your residences, employment/
self-employment, or education, you
should use a continuation sheet, SF
86A.’’ The SF 86A is no longer useful
as SF 86 requests are conducted entirely
through e-QIP. The instructions in
Section 11, ‘‘Where You Have Lived,’’
will provide clarifying instruction to not
list a spouse, cohabitant, or relative as
the verifier for periods of residence. The
instructions in Section 12, ‘‘Where You
Went to School,’’ will include the
Department of Education Web site
(https://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/
search.aspx) to assist respondents in
obtaining their school address(es). The
instructions in Section 20b, ‘‘Foreign
Government Contacts,’’ regarding
contact with a foreign government, will
be amended so that the respondent need
report neither contact related to official
U.S. Government travel (including
official contact as a U.S. military service
member on a U.S. Government military

duty assignment) nor contact related to
routine visa applications and border
crossings on a U.S. passport. Section
20c, ‘‘Foreign Travel,’’ will be amended
to clarify that travel solely for U.S.
Government business is travel on
official Government orders. Section 23,
‘‘Illegal Use of Drugs and Drug
Activity,’’ will include instruction to
clarify that drug use or activity illegal
under Federal laws must be reported,
even if that use or activity is legal under
state or local law(s). OPM intends to
amend the ‘‘Authorization for Release of
Information’’ to clarify that information
obtained from ‘‘other sources of
information’’ includes publicly
available electronic information.
OPM proposes the following change
to more accurately collect information
regarding legally recognized
relationships. Section 17, ‘‘Marital
Status,’’ will be renamed ‘‘Marital/
Relationship Status.’’ Where the form
requires collection of information
regarding civil marriages and divorces,
the same collection of information will
be required of legally recognized civil
unions and legally recognized domestic
partnerships, and dissolutions of these.
Since information regarding legally
recognized civil unions and domestic
partnerships will be captured in the
‘‘Marital/Relationship Status’’ section,
the definition of cohabitant will be
amended to exclude legally recognized
civil unions and legally recognized
domestic partnerships. Changes will be
made to the branching questions in
Section 20a, ‘‘Foreign Activities,’’ to
collect details regarding prior
ownership of foreign real estate that has
since been sold. This change will
correct a deficit in the branching
questions that do not currently account
for this scenario.
OPM is proposing to make changes to
Question 21, ‘‘Psychological and
Emotional Health,’’ in connection with
a comprehensive review being
conducted by the Director of National
Intelligence, in his role as Security
Executive Agent, with the Department
of Defense, OPM, and other Federal
agencies, for the purpose of clarifying
support for mental health treatment and
encouraging pro-active management of
mental health conditions to support
wellness and recovery.

It is estimated that approximately
eighteen respondents will utilize this
application procedure annually, with a
total burden of approximately 2,250
hours, based upon past submissions.
This figure is based on eighteen
respondents, spending approximately
125 hours each per year. It is estimated
that each respondent will submit
approximately 250 responses. The staff
estimates that the average number of
hours necessary to comply with the
requirements of Rule 19d–1 for each
submission is 0.5 hours. The average
cost per hour, per each submission is
approximately $101. Therefore, it is
estimated that the internal labor cost of
compliance for all respondents is
approximately $227,250. (18
respondents × 250 responses per
respondent × 0.5 hours per response ×
$101 per hour).
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid OMB control number.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments

Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 19d–3 prescribes the form and
content of applications to the
Commission by persons seeking
Commission review of final disciplinary
actions against them taken by selfregulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) for
which the Commission is the
appropriate regulatory agency. The
Commission uses the information
provided in the application filed
pursuant to Rule 19d–3 to review final

It is estimated that approximately six
respondents will utilize this application
procedure annually, with a total burden
of approximately 108 hours, for all
respondents to complete all
submissions. This figure is based upon
past submissions. It is estimated that
each respondent will submit
approximately one response. The staff
estimates that the average number of
hours necessary to comply with the
