SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Section 21 of the OSH Act (29 U.S.C.
670) authorizes OSHA to conduct
directly, or through grants and
contracts, education and training
courses. These courses must ensure an
adequate number of qualified personnel
to fulfill the purposes of the OSH Act,
provide them with short-term training,
inform them of the importance and
proper use of safety and health
equipment, and train employers and
employees to recognize, avoid, and
prevent unsafe and unhealthful working
conditions.
Under Section 21, OSHA awards
training grants to nonprofit
organizations to provide part of the
required training. The Agency requires
organizations that receive these grants to
submit quarterly progress reports that
provide information on their grantfunded training activities; these reports
allow OSHA to monitor the grantee’s
performance and to determine if an
organization is using grant funds as
specified in its grant application.
Accordingly, the Agency compares the
information provided in the quarterly
progress report to the quarterly
milestones proposed by the organization
in the work plan and budget that
accompanied the grant application. This
information includes: Identifier data
(organization name and grant number);
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:08 Jan 08, 2014
Jkt 232001
the date and location where the training
occurred; the length of training (hours);
the number of employees and employers
attending training sessions provided by
the organization during the quarter; a
description of the training provided; a
narrative account of grant activities
conducted during the quarter; and an
evaluation of progress regarding
planned versus actual work
accomplished. This comparison permits
OSHA to determine if the organization
is meeting the proposed program goals
and objectives, and spending funds in
the manner described in the proposed
budget.
Requiring these reports on a quarterly
basis enables OSHA to identify work
plan, training, and expenditure
discrepancies in a timely fashion so that
it can implement appropriate action. In
addition, this information permits the
Agency to assess an organization’s
ability to meet projected milestones and
expenditures.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements specified for the
Grantee Quarterly Progress Report.
OSHA is proposing to increase the
burden hours in its currently approved
information collection request from
4,944 burden hours to 5,096 burden
hours (a total increase of 152 hours).
Although the annual number of grants
managed by the Agency decreased from
a three-year average of 103 to 91, the
estimated number of hours required to
complete the report increased by 2
hours per quarter. The number of hours
required to complete the report was
increased in order to collect, compile,
and maintain evaluation information for
the narrative portion of the report. The
Agency will summarize the comments
submitted in response to this notice and
PO 00000
Frm 00040

will include this summary in the
request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Grantee Quarterly Progress
Report.
OMB Control Number: 1218–0100.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits; not-for-profit institutions.
Number of Respondents: 91.
Frequency of Responses: Quarterly.
Average Time per Response: 14 hours

concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant aspects of such
statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to amend
Rule 6.53A. (Types of Order Formats),
which rule describes the types of order
formats available to Trading Permit
Holders (TPHs) to facilitate order entry.
Specifically the Exchange proposes to
amend where Order Format 1 orders are
processed.
By way of background, order formats
are message types that are used to send
orders into CBOE Command 3 through a
user’s selected API. Currently, all orders
must be submitted to CBOE using the
message type Order Format 1 (‘‘OF1’’).
Orders using the OF1 format must pass
through various processes, including
validation checks in the Order Handling
Service (‘‘OHS’’),4 before execution,
entry into the book, cancellation, or
routing for manual handling. Where an
order is routed for processing by the
OHS depends on various parameters
configured by the Exchange and the
order entry firm itself. Examples of such
parameters are firm-specific volume
restrictions (i.e., orders larger than a
firm-imposed quantity are routed to
booth/order management terminal) or
inbound limit order price reasonability
3 CBOE Command is the trading engine platform
for CBOE, C2, CBSX and CBOE Futures Exchange
(‘‘CFE’’). CBOE Command incorporates both order
handling and trade processing on the same
platform.
4 The Order Handling System (‘‘OHS’’) performs
basic validation checks and has the capability to
route orders to the trade engine for automatic
execution and book entry, to Trading Permit Holder
and PAR Official workstations located in the
trading crowds for manual handling, and/or to other
order management terminals (‘‘OMTs’’) generally
located in booths on the trading floor for manual
handling.
PO 00000
Frm 00041
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(i.e., orders may be rerouted to booth/
order management terminal for manual
review if ‘‘too marketable’’). OF1
supports all order types, including
auction responses.
The Exchange proposes to change
where OF1 orders are processed.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to
have orders using the OF1 format pass
through various processes, including the
validation checks in the trade engine, as
opposed to the OHS. The Exchange
notes that OF1 orders will still be
subject to the same validation checks.
The proposed rule change merely
changes where these checks occur.
As before, orders using OF1 can still
be executed in the trade engine, routed
to TPH and PAR Official workstations
located in the trading crowds for
manual handling, and/or routed to other
order management terminals (‘‘OMTs’’)
generally located in booths on the
trading floor for manual handling.
Where an order is routed will still
depend upon various parameters set by
the Exchange and the order entry firms.
For example, if during these checks in
the trade engine an order hits a certain
parameter that requires it to be routed
to a booth/order management terminal
(e.g. a firm-specific volume restriction
which requires orders larger than the
firm-imposed quantity to be routed to
booth/order management terminal), that
order will be routed to the OHS, and the
OHS will then route the order to the
appropriate booth/order management
terminal for manual review and
processing. The Exchange believes that
allowing OF1 orders to pass straight to
the trade engine for validation checks,
as opposed to stopping first in the OHS
for these checks, increases overall
efficiency. The Exchange finally notes
that the proposed new Order Format 1
will operate substantially similar to how
C2 Order Format 1 currently operates on
C2.5
The Exchange will announce the
implementation date of the proposed
rule change in an Information Circular
to be published no later than 90 days
following the effective date of this rule
filing. The implementation date will be
no later than 180 days following the
effective date of this rule filing.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Act
and the rules and regulations
thereunder applicable to the Exchange
and, in particular, the requirements of
Section 6(b) 6 of the Act. Specifically,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA-95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that
information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs)
is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's
estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651
et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing
information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also
requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon
employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce
to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Section 21 of the OSH Act (29 U.S.C. 670) authorizes OSHA to
conduct directly, or through grants and contracts, education and
training courses. These courses must ensure an adequate number of
qualified personnel to fulfill the purposes of the OSH Act, provide
them with short-term training, inform them of the importance and proper
use of safety and health equipment, and train employers and employees
to recognize, avoid, and prevent unsafe and unhealthful working
conditions.
Under Section 21, OSHA awards training grants to nonprofit
organizations to provide part of the required training. The Agency
requires organizations that receive these grants to submit quarterly
progress reports that provide information on their grant-funded
training activities; these reports allow OSHA to monitor the grantee's
performance and to determine if an organization is using grant funds as
specified in its grant application. Accordingly, the Agency compares
the information provided in the quarterly progress report to the
quarterly milestones proposed by the organization in the work plan and
budget that accompanied the grant application. This information
includes: Identifier data (organization name and grant number); the
date and location where the training occurred; the length of training
(hours); the number of employees and employers attending training
sessions provided by the organization during the quarter; a description
of the training provided; a narrative account of grant activities
conducted during the quarter; and an evaluation of progress regarding
planned versus actual work accomplished. This comparison permits OSHA
to determine if the organization is meeting the proposed program goals
and objectives, and spending funds in the manner described in the
proposed budget.
Requiring these reports on a quarterly basis enables OSHA to
identify work plan, training, and expenditure discrepancies in a timely
fashion so that it can implement appropriate action. In addition, this
information permits the Agency to assess an organization's ability to
meet projected milestones and expenditures.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the information
collection requirements specified for the Grantee Quarterly Progress
Report. OSHA is proposing to increase the burden hours in its currently
approved information collection request from 4,944 burden hours to
5,096 burden hours (a total increase of 152 hours). Although the annual
number of grants managed by the Agency decreased from a three-year
average of 103 to 91, the estimated number of hours required to
complete the report increased by 2 hours per quarter. The number of
hours required to complete the report was increased in order to
collect, compile, and maintain evaluation information for the narrative
portion of the report. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted
in response to this notice and will include this summary in the request
to OMB.
