Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 109 / Thursday, June 6, 2013 / Notices
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) invites public
comment about our intention to request
the OMB’s approval for renewal of an
existing information collection that is
summarized below. We are required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Information pertaining to the
requirement to be submitted:
1. The title of the information
collection: The Office of Federal and
State Materials and Environmental
Management Programs Requests to
Agreement States for Information.
2. Current OMB approval number:
3150–0029.
3. How often the collection is
required: One-time or as-needed.
4. Who is required or asked to report:
Thirty-seven Agreement States who
have signed Section 274(b) Agreements
with the NRC.
5. The number of annual respondents:
37.
6. The number of hours needed
annually to complete the requirement or
request: 3,690.
7. Abstract: The Agreement States are
asked on a one-time or as-needed basis
to respond to a specific incident, to
gather information on licensing and
inspection practices or other technical
and training-related information. In
2007, the NRC policy changed to begin
funding training for Agreement State
materials licensing and inspection staff
and associated travel to attend courses
offered through the NRC training
program. The results of such
information requests, which are
authorized under Section 274(b) of the
Atomic Energy Act, are utilized in part
by the NRC in preparing responses to
Congressional inquiries. The Agreement
State comments are also solicited in the
areas of proposed procedures,
implementing guidance, and in the
development of new and revised
regulations and policies.
Submit, by August 5, 2013, comments
that address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of
information necessary for the NRC to
properly perform its functions? Does the
information have practical utility?
2. Is the burden estimate accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the
information collection be minimized,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology?

Extension:
Rule 19b–5 and Form PILOT; SEC File No.
270–448; OMB Control No. 3235–0507.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 19b–5 (17 CFR
240.19b–5) and Form PILOT (17 CFR
249.821) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (‘‘Act’’) (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 19b–5 provides a temporary
exemption from the rule-filing
requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act
(15 U.S.C. 78s(b)) to self-regulatory
organizations (‘‘SROs’’) wishing to
establish and operate pilot trading
systems. Rule 19b–5 permits an SRO to

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 109 / Thursday, June 6, 2013 / Notices
develop a pilot trading system and to
begin operation of such system shortly
after submitting an initial report on
Form PILOT to the Commission. During
operation of any such pilot trading
system, the SRO must submit quarterly
reports of the system’s operation to the
Commission, as well as timely
amendments describing any material
changes to the system. After two years
of operating such pilot trading system
under the exemption afforded by Rule
19b–5, the SRO must submit a rule
filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)) in order to
obtain permanent approval of the pilot
trading system from the Commission.
The collection of information is
designed to allow the Commission to
maintain an accurate record of all new
pilot trading systems operated by SROs
and to determine whether an SRO has
properly availed itself of the exemption
afforded by Rule 19b–5, is operating a
pilot trading system in compliance with
the Act, and is carrying out its statutory
oversight obligations under the Act.
The respondents to the collection of
information are national securities
exchanges and national securities
associations.
While there are 17 national securities
exchanges and national securities
associations that may avail themselves
of the exemption under Rule 19b–5 and
the use of Form PILOT, it is estimated
that approximately three respondents
will file a total of 3 initial reports, 12
quarterly reports, and 6 amendments on
Form PILOT per year, with an estimated
total annual response burden of 126
hours. At an average hourly cost of
$350.07, the estimated aggregate related
cost of compliance with Rule 19b–5 for
all respondents is $44,109 per year (126
burden hours multiplied by $350.07/
hour = $44,109).
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 to be 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.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

Makers 3 in the Specified Penny Pilot
Options.

the Rebate to Add Liquidity in the
Specified Penny Pilot Options for BX
Options Market Makers from $0.15 to
$0.20 per executed contract. The
Exchange also proposes to decrease the
Fee to Add Liquidity in the Specified
Penny Pilot Options for Customers and
BX Options Market Makers from $0.18
to $0.10 per executed contract. Finally,
the Exchange proposes to decrease the
Rebate to Remove Liquidity in the
Specified Penny Pilot Options for
Customers from $0.12 to $0.00 per
executed contract.
The proposed rule change will reflect
the fees and rebates as follows:
3 A BX Options Market Maker must be registered
as such pursuant to Chapter VII, Section 2 of the
BX Options Rules, and must also remain in good
standing pursuant to Chapter VII, Section 4.

Proposed Collection; Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.
Extension:
Rule 19b-5 and Form PILOT; SEC File No. 270-448; OMB Control No.
3235-0507.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in Rule 19b-5 (17 CFR 240.19b-5)
and Form PILOT (17 CFR 249.821) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office
of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
Rule 19b-5 provides a temporary exemption from the rule-filing
requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)) to self-
regulatory organizations (``SROs'') wishing to establish and operate
pilot trading systems. Rule 19b-5 permits an SRO to
[[Page 34136]]
develop a pilot trading system and to begin operation of such system
shortly after submitting an initial report on Form PILOT to the
Commission. During operation of any such pilot trading system, the SRO
must submit quarterly reports of the system's operation to the
Commission, as well as timely amendments describing any material
changes to the system. After two years of operating such pilot trading
system under the exemption afforded by Rule 19b-5, the SRO must submit
a rule filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act (15 U.S.C.
78s(b)(2)) in order to obtain permanent approval of the pilot trading
system from the Commission.
The collection of information is designed to allow the Commission
to maintain an accurate record of all new pilot trading systems
operated by SROs and to determine whether an SRO has properly availed
itself of the exemption afforded by Rule 19b-5, is operating a pilot
trading system in compliance with the Act, and is carrying out its
statutory oversight obligations under the Act.
The respondents to the collection of information are national
securities exchanges and national securities associations.
While there are 17 national securities exchanges and national
securities associations that may avail themselves of the exemption
under Rule 19b-5 and the use of Form PILOT, it is estimated that
approximately three respondents will file a total of 3 initial reports,
12 quarterly reports, and 6 amendments on Form PILOT per year, with an
estimated total annual response burden of 126 hours. At an average
hourly cost of $350.07, the estimated aggregate related cost of
compliance with Rule 19b-5 for all respondents is $44,109 per year (126
burden hours multiplied by $350.07/hour = $44,109).
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 to be
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.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
