Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 187 / Friday, September 26, 2014 / Notices
when a claim for benefits is filed with
the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB),
the RRB shall provide notice of the
claim to the claimant’s base year
employer(s) to provide them an
opportunity to submit information
relevant to the claim before making an
initial determination. If the RRB
determines to pay benefits to the
claimant under the RUIA, the RRB shall
notify the base-year employer(s).
The purpose of the RUIA Claims
Notification and Verification System is
to provide two notices, pre-payment
Form ID–4K, Prepayment Notice of
Employees’ Applications and Claims for
Benefits Under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act, and postpayment Form ID–4E, Notice of RUIA
Claim Determination. Prepayment Form
ID–4K provides notice to a claimant’s
base-year employer(s), of each
unemployment application and
unemployment and sickness claim filed
for benefits under the RUIA and
provides the employer an opportunity to
convey information relevant to the
proper adjudication of the claim.
The railroad employer can elect to
receive Form ID–4K by one of three
options: a computer-generated paper
notice, by Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI), or online via the RRB’s Employer
Reporting System (ERS). The railroad
employer can respond to the ID–4K
notice by telephone, manually by
mailing a completed ID–4K back to the
RRB, or electronically via EDI or ERS.
Completion is voluntary. The RRB
proposes no changes to any of the ID–
4K options.
Once the RRB determines to pay a
claim post-payment Form Letter ID–4E,
Notice of RUIA Claim Determination, is
used to notify the base-year employer(s).
This gives the employer a second
opportunity to challenge the claim for
benefits.
The ID–4E mainframe-generated
paper notice, EDI, and Internet versions
are transmitted on a daily basis,
generally on the same day that the
claims are approved for payment.
Railroad employers who are mailed
Form ID–4E are instructed to write if
they want a reconsideration of the RRB’s
determination to pay. Employers who
receive the ID–4E electronically, may
file a reconsideration request by
completing the ID–4E by either EDI or
ERS. Completion is voluntary. The RRB
proposes no changes to any of the ID–
4E options.

Extension:
Rule 17f–2(c), SEC File No. 270–35, OMB
Control No. 3235–0029.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 17f–2(c) (17 CFR 240.17f–2(c))
under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17f–2(c) allows persons required
to be fingerprinted pursuant to Section
17(f)(2) of the Act to submit their
fingerprints to the Attorney General of
the United States or its designee (i.e.,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(‘‘FBI’’)) through a registered national
securities exchange or a registered
national securities association
(collectively, also known as ‘‘selfregulatory organizations’’ or ‘‘SROs’’)
pursuant to a fingerprint plan filed with,
and declared effective by, the
Commission. Fingerprint plans have
been approved for the American,
Boston, Chicago, New York, and
PO 00000
Frm 00121
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Philadelphia stock exchanges and for
the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (‘‘FINRA’’) and the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. Currently, the
bulk of the fingerprints are submitted
through FINRA.
It is estimated that approximately
5,000 respondents submit
approximately 288,000 sets of
fingerprints (consisting of 198,500
electronic sets and 89,500 hard copy
sets) to SROs on an annual basis. The
Commission estimates that it would take
approximately 15 minutes to create and
submit each fingerprint card. The total
reporting burden is therefore estimated
to be 72,000 hours, or approximately 15
hours per respondent, annually.
In addition, the SROs charge an
estimated $30.25 fee for processing
fingerprint cards submitted
electronically, resulting in a total annual
cost to all 5,000 respondents of
approximately $6,004,600, or $1,200.92
per respondent per year. The SROs
charge an estimated $44.50 fee for
processing fingerprint cards submitted
in hard copy, resulting in a total annual
cost to all 5,000 respondents of
approximately $3,982,700, or $796.54
per respondent per year. The combined
E:\FR\FM\26SEN1.SGM

57990
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 187 / Friday, September 26, 2014 / Notices
annual cost to all respondents is thus
$9,987,300.
Because the FBI will not accept
fingerprint cards directly from
submitting organizations, Commission
approval of fingerprint plans from
certain SROs is essential to carry out the
Congressional goal to fingerprint
securities industry personnel. Filing
these plans for review assures users and
their personnel that fingerprint cards
will be handled responsibly and with
due care for confidentiality.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

Rule 489 and Form F–N; SEC File No. 270–
361, OMB Control No. 3235–0411.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 232001
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 489 (17 CFR 230.489) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) requires foreign banks and foreign
insurance companies and holding
companies and finance subsidiaries of
foreign banks and foreign insurance
companies that are exempted from the
definition of ‘‘investment company’’ by
virtue of rules 3a–1 (17 CFR 270.3a–1),
3a–5 (17 CFR 270.3a–5), and 3a–6 (17
CFR 270.3a–6) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) to file Form F–N (17 CFR
239.43) to appoint an agent for service
of process when making a public
offering of securities in the United
States. The information is collected so
that the Commission and private
plaintiffs may serve process on foreign
entities in actions and administrative
proceedings arising out of or based on
the offer or sales of securities in the
United States by such foreign entities.
During calendar year 2013, the
Commission received a total of 16
responses on Form F–N from 14 entities.
The Commission has previously
estimated that the total annual burden
associated with information collection
and Form F–N preparation and
submission is one hour per filing. Based
on the Commission’s experience with
disclosure documents generally, the
Commission continues to believe that
this estimate is appropriate. Thus the
estimated total annual burden for rule
489 and Form F–N is 16 hours.1
Estimates of average burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act and are not
derived from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of rule 489
and Form F–N is mandatory to obtain
the benefit of the exemption. Responses
to the collection of information will not
be kept confidential. 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.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of
the collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d)
1 16 responses × 1 hour per response = 16 hours
per year.

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.

Officer, Securities and Exchange
