The Exchange believes that invoking an order imbalance halt, which would similarly halt trading on the Exchange only, would be appropriate because it would provide notice to the public of an order imbalance in a stock and an opportunity for the price discovery process to continue consistent with Rule 123D, including the requirement for publishing indications. The Exchange believes that for a significant order imbalance, using the existing reopening process rather than a Midday Auction would perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and national market system and protect investors and the public interest because it would provide an opportunity for greater price discovery that would not be restricted by LULD Price Bands. the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will: (A) By order approve or disapprove the proposed rule change, or (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change should be disapproved.

Solicitation of Comments [FR Doc. 2015–03537 Filed 2–20–15; 8:45 am] Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: BILLING CODE 8011–01–P B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition • Send paper comments in triplicate to Brent J. Fields, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549–1090. All submissions should refer to File Number SR–NYSE–2015–06.

The Commission will post all comments on the Commission’s Internet Web site (https://www.sec.gov/ rules/sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for Web site viewing and printing in the Commission’s Public Reference Room, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Copies of the filing will also be available for inspection and copying at the NYSE’s principal office and on its Internet Web site at www.nyse.com. All comments received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make available publicly. All submissions should refer to File Number SR–NYSE– The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Exchange Act. The proposed Midday Auction would only pause trading on the Exchange and would not prevent market participants from directing order flow in Midday Auction Stocks to other markets and trading venues during the auction. The proposed Midday Auction would also be available to all market participants on the Exchange each day at the same time. Further, the Exchange believes that by providing an additional opportunity to execute orders in thinlytraded securities hours before the close of trading, the proposed rule change would further the price discovery process and enhance competition.

Data Exchange Request Form— 0960–NEW. SSA maintains approximately 3,000 data exchange agreements and regularly receives new requests from Federal, State, local, and foreign governments, as well as private organizations, to share data electronically. SSA engages in various forms of data exchanges from Social Security number verifications to computer matches for benefit eligibility, depending on the requestor’s business needs. Section 1106 of the Social Security Act (Act) requires we consider the requestor’s legal authority to receive the data, our disclosure policies, systems’ feasibility, systems’ security, and costs before entering into a data exchange agreement. We will use Form SSA–157, Data Exchange Request Form, for this purpose. Requesting agencies, governments, or private organizations will use the form when voluntarily initiating a request for data exchange from SSA. Respondents are Federal, State, local, and foreign governments, as well as private organizations seeking to share data electronically with SSA. Type of Request: This is a new information collection.

Individuals who wish to withdraw their applications for benefits complete Form SSA–521, or sign the completed form for each request to withdraw.

SSA uses Form SSA–766, Statement of Self-Employment Income, to collect the information we need to determine if the individual will have at least the minimum amount of SEI needed for one or more quarters of coverage in the current year. Based on the information we obtain, we may credit additional quarters of coverage to give the individual insured status thus expediting benefit payments.

    4. Request for Workers' Compensation/Public Disability Benefit 
Information--20 CFR 404.408(e)--0960-0098. Claimants for Social 
Security disability payments who are also receiving Worker's 
Compensation/Public Disability Benefits (WC/PDB) must notify SSA about 
their WC/PDB, so the agency can reduce claimants' Social Security 
disability payments accordingly. If claimants provide necessary 
evidence, such as a copy of their award notice, benefit check, etc., 
that is sufficient verification. In cases where claimants cannot 
provide such evidence, SSA uses Form SSA-1709. The entity paying the 
WC/PDB benefits, its agent (such as an insurance carrier), or an 
administering public agency complete this form. The respondents are 
Federal, State, and local agencies, insurance carriers, and public or 
private self-insured companies administering WC/PDB benefits to 
disability claimants.
