II. Notice of Filing
I. Introduction
On June 12, 2013, the Postal Service
filed notice that it has agreed to an
amendment to the existing Express Mail
Contract 13 (Amendment), which was
added to the competitive product list in
this docket.1 In its Notice, the Postal
Service includes Attachment A, a
redacted copy of the Amendment. It also
filed the unredacted Amendment and
supporting financial information under
seal.
The Postal Service asserts that the
Amendment will become effective one
day after the day that the Commission
completes its review. Id. at 1. It also
seeks to incorporate by reference the
Application for Non-Public Treatment
originally filed in this docket for the
protection of the information that it has
filed under seal. Id.
The Amendment changes the annual
adjustment mechanism for the second
and third years of the contract. Id.
Attachment A at 1. While the initial
contract failed to include an annual
adjustment provision, the Amendment
bases the price increases for the second
and third years of the agreement on the
lesser of the average increase in prices
of general applicability for ‘‘Express
Mail Commercial Plus’’ or the previous
year’s prices plus an adjustment factor.
Id.
In Order No. 1640, the Commission
conditionally approved the contract’s 3year term on the Postal Service’s
representations that the standard annual
adjustment provision was inadvertently
excluded from the contract and an
amendment to the contract would be
filed to remedy the exclusion.2 The
Commission found that ‘‘[i]f the
forthcoming amendment contains only
the standard annual adjustment

provision . . . the contract is authorized
for the three-year term.’’ Id. at 5–6.
However, the Commission cautioned
that if the amendment were to differ
from the standard annual adjustment
provision or contain additional terms,
the Commission would notice the
Amendment for comment prior to
making a determination on the
contract’s further approval. Id. at 6.
Since the adjustment provision differs
from the standard adjustment provision,
the Commission is noticing the
Amendment for comment.

Rule 6a–4, Form 1–N; SEC File No. 270–

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 collection of information
provided for in in Rule 6a–4 and Form
1–N, summarized below. The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval. The Code of
Federal Regulation citation to this
collection of information is 17 CFR
240.6a–4 and 17 CFR 249.10 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’).
Section 6 of the Act 1 sets out a
framework for the registration and
regulation of national securities
exchanges. Under the Commodity
Futures Modernization Act of 2000, a
futures market may trade security
futures products by registering as a
national securities exchange. Rule 6a–
4 2 sets forth these registration
procedures and directs futures markets
to submit a notice registration on Form

1–N.3 Form 1–N calls for information
regarding how the futures market
operates, its rules and procedures,
corporate governance, its criteria for
membership, its subsidiaries and
affiliates, and the security futures
products it intends to trade. Rule 6a–4
also requires entities that have
submitted an initial Form 1–N to file: (1)
Amendments to Form 1–N in the event
of material changes to the information
provided in the initial Form 1–N; (2)
periodic updates of certain information
provided in the initial Form 1–N; (3)
certain information that is provided to
the futures market’s members; and (4) a
monthly report summarizing the futures
market’s trading of security futures
products. The information required to
be filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 6a–4 is designed to enable the
Commission to carry out its statutorily
mandated oversight functions and to
ensure that registered and exempt
exchanges continue to be in compliance
with the Act.
The respondents to the collection of
information are futures markets.
The Commission estimates that the
total annual burden for all respondents
to provide ad hoc amendments 4 to keep
the Form 1–N accurate and up to date
as required under Rule 6a–4 would be
45 hours (15 hours/respondent per year
× 3 respondents 5) and $300 of
miscellaneous clerical expenses. The
Commission estimates that the total
annual burden for all respondents to
provide annual and three-year
amendments 6 under Rule 6a–4 would
be 88 hours (22 hours/respondent per
year × 4 respondents) and $576 ($144
per year × 4 respondents 7). The
Commission estimates that the total
annual burden for the filing of the
supplemental information 8 and the
monthly reports required under Rule
6a–4 would be 50 hours (12.5 hours/
respondent per year × 4 respondents 9)
and $500 of miscellaneous clerical
expenses. Thus, the Commission
estimates the total annual burden for
complying with Rule 6a–4 is 183 hours

5 Based on prior data, the Commission estimates
that the three exchanges will file amendments with
the Commission in order to keep their Form 1–N
current.
6 17 CFR 240.6a–4(b)(3) and (4).
7 The Commission notes that while there are
currently five Security Futures Product Exchanges,
one of those exchanges, NQLX, is dormant. Thus,
a total of four exchanges are active and required to
submit mandatory amendments pursuant to Rule
6a–4.

Compliance with Rule 6a–4 is
mandatory. Information received in
response to Rule 6a–4 shall not be kept
confidential; the information collected
is public information.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
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.
