primary listing market. The Exchange’s
reputation as a primary listing market
will, in turn, positively impact all
securities that are listed on the
Exchange. Further, the Exchange
believes that additional revenue
generated from the Exchange’s auction
processes for actively traded ETPs will
offset the cost of operating a program for
these securities. Because ETPs with
higher CADV are likely to generate
additional revenue for the Exchange, the
Exchange believes it is reasonable to
waive fees for ETPs with CADV greater
than 400,000. Based on the foregoing,
the Exchange believes that providing
annual listing free of charge for issuers
of ETPs with CADV greater than 400,000
is a fair and equitable allocation of fees
to issuers.
The Exchange believes it is reasonable
and equitable to assess annual fees on
a pro-rated quarterly basis instead of an
annual basis based on the listing date of
an ETP. In particular, the Exchange
believes that quarterly billing in
prorated amounts will allow an issuer’s
bill to more accurately reflect an ETP’s
current CADV.
The Exchange also believes that
lowering the initial listing fee from
$10,000 to $5,000 for ETPs is reasonable
and equitable because it will result in
lower initial costs to all ETP issuers.
Finally, the Exchange believes that
correcting the typographical error to the
numbering of the subparagraphs of Rule
14.13 is reasonable and equitable
because it will make the rule text more
easily understandable.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that
the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of the Act, as amended.
With respect to the proposed new
pricing for the listing of ETPs, the
Exchange does not believe that the
changes burden competition, but
instead, enhance competition, as it is
intended to increase the
competitiveness of the Exchange’s
listings program. The Exchange also
believes the proposed change would
enhance competition because it brings
ETP listings prices closer to those
currently offered by both Arca and
Nasdaq. The proposed changes are
generally intended to lower the
Exchange’s listing fees and make these
fees more reflective of an ETP’s trading
activity, which the Exchange believes
will further help it compete against the
other listing markets. As such, the
proposal is a competitive proposal that
is intended to attract additional ETP

listings, which will, in turn, benefit the
Exchange and all other BATS-listed
ETPs.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From
Members, Participants, or Others
The Exchange has not solicited, and
does not intend to solicit, comments on
this proposed rule change. The
Exchange has not received any written
comments from members or other
interested parties.
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 9 and paragraph
(f) of Rule 19b–4 thereunder.10 At any
time within 60 days of the filing of the
proposed rule change, the Commission
summarily may temporarily suspend
such rule change if it appears to the
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.
IV. Solicitation of Comments

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

4. Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery—0960–0788.
SSA, as part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, invites the general public to
take this opportunity to comment on the
‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery ’’ for approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). This collection was
developed as part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process for seeking feedback from
the public on service delivery.
Under the auspices of Executive
Order 12862, Setting Customer Service
Standards, SSA conducts multiple
satisfaction surveys each year. This
proposed information collection activity
provides a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with SSA’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between SSA and our customers and
stakeholders.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on SSA’s services will be
unavailable.
We will only submit a collection for
approval under this generic clearance if
it meets the following conditions: (1)
The collections are voluntary; (2) the
collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government; (3) the collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:35 Jun 17, 2014
Jkt 232001
concern to other Federal agencies; (4)
any collection targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future; (5)
personally identifiable information (PII)
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained; (6) information
gathered will be used only internally for
general service improvement and
program management purposes and is
not intended for release outside of the
agency; (7) information gathered will
not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential
policy decisions; and (8) information
gathered will yield qualitative
information; the collections will not be
designed or expected to yield
statistically reliable results or used as
though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address the target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
The respondents are recipients of SSA
services (including most members of the
public), professionals, and individuals
who work on behalf of SSA
beneficiaries.

OMB-approved information collection.

ACTION:
Notice.
We are giving notice that an
agreement coordinating the United
States (U.S.) and the Slovak social
security programs entered into force on
May 1, 2014. The agreement with the
Slovak Republic, which was signed on
December 10, 2012, is similar to U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Like the
other agreements, the U.S.-Slovak
agreement eliminates dual social
security coverage. This situation exists

Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such
data uses require more rigorous designs that address the target
population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame,
the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the
precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing
potential non-response bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding
the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for
other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative
results.
As a general matter, information collections will not result in any
new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask
questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes,
religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered
private.
The respondents are recipients of SSA services (including most
members of the public), professionals, and individuals who work on
behalf of SSA beneficiaries.
