non-Customer orders because the
Exchange has traditionally assessed
lower fees to Customers as compared to
non-Customers. Customers will
continue to receive the lowest fees or no
fees when routing orders, as is the case
today. Other options exchanges also
assess lower Routing Fees for customer
orders as compared to non-customer
orders.23

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
NASDAQ Exchange does not believe
that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act. The
Exchange does not believe that the
proposal creates intra-market
competition because the Exchange is
applying the same Routing Fees and
credits to all market participants in the
same manner dependent on the routing
venue, with the exception of Customers.
The Exchange has proposed separate
Customer Routing Fees. Customers will
continue to receive the lowest fees or no
fees when routing orders, as is the case
today. Other options exchanges also
assess lower Routing Fees for customer
orders as compared to non-customer
orders.24
The Exchange’s proposal would allow
the Exchange to recoup its costs when
routing orders to away markets when
such orders are designated as available
for routing by the market participant.
The Exchange is passing along savings
realized by leveraging NASDAQ OMX’s
infrastructure and scale to market
participants when those orders are
routed to PHLX and is providing those
saving to all market participants.
Participants may choose to mark the
order as ineligible for routing to avoid
incurring these fees.25 Today, other
options exchanges also assess fixed
routing fees to recoup costs incurred by
the Exchange to route orders to away
markets.26
The Exchange operates in a highly
competitive market, comprised of
eleven exchanges, in which market
participants can easily and readily
direct order flow to competing venues if
they deem fee levels at a particular
venue to be excessive. Accordingly, the
fees that are assessed by the Exchange
23 BATS assesses lower customer routing fees as
compared to non-customer routing fees per the
away market. For example BATS assesses ISE
customer routing fees of $0.30 per contract and an
ISE non-customer routing fee of $0.57 per contract.
See BATS BZX Exchange Fee Schedule.

must remain competitive with fees
charged by other venues and therefore
must continue to be reasonable and
equitably allocated to those Participants
that opt to direct orders to the Exchange
rather than competing venues.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
No written comments were either
solicited or received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the
Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action
The foregoing rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.27 At any time

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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall
institute proceedings to determine
whether the proposed rule should be
approved or disapproved.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing,
including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act.

1631(a)(2) of the Social Security Act
(Act) state SSA may appoint a
representative payee to receive title II
benefits or title XVI payments on behalf
of individuals unable to manage or
direct the management of those funds
themselves. SSA requires appointed
representative payees to report once
each year on how they used or
conserved those funds. When a
representative payee fails to adequately
report to SSA as required, SSA conducts
a face-to-face interview with the payee
and completes Form SSA–624,
Representative Payee Evaluation Report,
to determine the continued suitability of
the representative payee to serve as a
payee. The respondents are individuals
or organizations serving as
representative payees for individuals
receiving title II benefits or title XVI
payments who fail to comply with
SSA’s statutory annual reporting
requirement.

indicates recipients may fail to report
circumstances that affect their
eligibility. Two such cases are: (1) When
parents receiving disability benefits for
their child marry and (2) the removal of
an entitled child from parents’ care.
SSA uses Form SSA–1588–OCR–SM to

International Direct Deposit (IDD)
Program allows beneficiaries living
abroad to receive their payments via

States. SSA uses Form SSA–1199–
(Country) to enroll title II beneficiaries
residing abroad in IDD, and to obtain
the direct deposit information for
foreign accounts. Routing account
number information varies slightly for
each foreign country, so we use a
variation of the Treasury Department’s
Form SF–1199A for each country. The
respondents are Social Security
beneficiaries residing abroad who want
SSA to deposit their benefits payments
directly to a foreign financial
institution.

4. Beneficiary Recontact Form--20 CFR 404.703, 404.705--0960-0502.
SSA investigates recipients of disability payments to determine their
continuing eligibility for payments. Research indicates recipients may
fail to report circumstances that affect their eligibility. Two such
cases are: (1) When parents receiving disability benefits for their
child marry and (2) the removal of an entitled child from parents'
care. SSA uses Form SSA-1588-OCR-SM to ask mothers or fathers about
their marital status and children currently in their care to detect
overpayments and to avoid continuing payment to those no longer
entitled. Respondents are recipients of mothers' or fathers' Social
Security benefits.

the complaint; (2) identify the alleged discriminatory act; (3)
establish the date of such alleged action; (4) establish the identity
of any individual(s) with information about the alleged discrimination;
and (5) establish other relevant information that would assist in the

1. Supplemental Statement Regarding Farming Activities of Person
Living Outside the U.S.A.--0960-0103. When a beneficiary or claimant
reports farm work from outside the United States, SSA documents this
work on Form SSA-7163A-F4. Specifically, SSA uses the form to determine
if we should apply foreign work deductions to the recipient's title II
benefits. We collect the information either annually or every other
year, depending on the respondent's country of residence.
[[Page 19797]]
Respondents are Social Security recipients engaged in farming
activities outside the United States.

2. Internet Direct Deposit Application--31 CFR 210--0960-0634. SSA
requires all applicants and recipients of Social Security Old Age,
Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) benefits, or SSI payments
to receive these benefits and payments via direct deposit at a
financial institution. SSA receives Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds
Transfer (DD/EFT) enrollment information from OASDI beneficiaries and
SSI recipients to facilitate DD/EFT of their funds with their chosen
financial institution. We also use this information when an enrolled
individual wishes to change their DD/EFT information. For the
convenience of the respondents, we collect this information through
several modalities, including an Internet application, in-office or
telephone interviews, and our automated telephone system. In addition
to using the direct deposit information to enable DD/EFT of funds to
the recipient's chosen financial institution, we also use the
information through our Direct Deposit Fraud Indicator to ensure the
correct recipient receives the funds. Respondents are OASDI
beneficiaries and SSI recipients requesting that we enroll them in the
Direct Deposit program or change their direct deposit banking
information.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.

3. International Direct Deposit--31 CFR 210--0960-0686. SSA's
International Direct Deposit (IDD) Program allows beneficiaries living
abroad to receive their payments via direct deposit to an account at a
financial institution outside the United States. SSA uses Form SSA-
1199-(Country) to enroll title II beneficiaries residing abroad in IDD,
and to obtain the direct deposit information for foreign accounts.
Routing account number information varies slightly for each foreign
country, so we use a variation of the Treasury Department's Form SF-
1199A for each country. The respondents are Social Security
beneficiaries residing abroad who want SSA to deposit their benefits
payments directly to a foreign financial institution.
