one General Privacy Act System of
Records should be revised to modify
categories of records in the system,
purpose(s), routine uses of records
maintained in the system, including
categories of users and the purpose of
such uses, and retrievability.
Background
Pursuant to agreements that will
protect the use of Postal Service data,
the Postal Service intends to provide the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) with
employment and wage data pertaining
to USPS employees. These data are used
in BLS’s OES program and, in
conjunction with data obtained from the
Office of Personnel Management, are
used to develop employment and wage
estimates.
The OES program produces
employment and wage estimates for
over 800 occupations. These estimates
include the number of jobs in certain
occupations and estimates of the wages
paid to with respect to those jobs.
Through its program, BLS maintains a
comprehensive source of regularly
produced occupational employment and
wage information available for the
nation as a whole, for individual States,
and for metropolitan areas. OES data is
used to develop information regarding
current and projected employment
needs, job opportunities, job placement
aids, and state education and workforce
development plans. Jobseekers can use
OES data to analyze occupational wages
and cost of living data by U.S area.
Employment and wage estimate data are
also used by academic and government
researchers to study labor markets and
wage and employment trends. BLS is
now developing occupational
employment and wage estimates and is
requesting USPS occupational data
which includes occupational titles and
occupational codes.
Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy
Act Systems of Records
The Postal Service is proposing
modifications to SOR 100.400.
Categories of records is being amended
to reflect that the Postal Service
maintains a unique occupation code and
an occupation title for each employee,
as well as annual salary, hourly rate,
and the Rate Schedule Code (RSC),
which is used to identify an employee’s
pay type. Pay type refers to any kind of
wage that an employer is allotting to an
employee. This can include, but is not
limited to, holiday pay, overtime pay,
annual leave pay, sick leave pay,
severance pay, etc. Purpose is being
modified to permit the Postal Service to
maintain annual salary, hourly rate, and
pay type information for the purpose of

statistical research and reporting. The
Postal Service is also adding a routine
use explaining that the disclosure of
these data may be made to BLS for the
development of occupational estimates
for federal employees. Retrievability is
being revised to indicate the data can
now be retrieved by occupation code
and/or occupation title.
III. Description of Changes to Systems
of Records
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)(11),
interested persons are invited to submit
written data, views, or arguments on
this proposal. A report of the proposed
modifications has been sent to Congress
and to the Office of Management and
Budget for their evaluations. The Postal
Service does not expect this amended
system of records to have any adverse
effect on individual privacy rights. The
affected system is as follows:
USPS 100.400
SYSTEM NAME: Personnel
Compensation and Payroll Records
Accordingly, for the reasons stated,
the Postal Service proposes changes in
the existing system of records as
follows:

Personnel Compensation and Payroll
Records.

Form 13F. SEC File No. 270–22, OMB
Control No. 3235–0006.
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 (the
‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Section 13(f) 1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 2 (the ‘‘Exchange
Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1)
Adopt rules that create a reporting and
disclosure system to collect specific
information; and (2) disseminate such
information to the public. Rule 13f–1 3
under the Exchange Act requires
institutional investment managers that
exercise investment discretion over
accounts that have in the aggregate a fair
market value of at least $100,000,000 of
1 15

certain U.S. exchange-traded equity
securities, as set forth in rule 13f–1(c),
to file quarterly reports with the
Commission on Form 13F.4
The information collection
requirements apply to institutional
investment managers that meet the $100
million reporting threshold. Section
13(f)(6) of the Exchange Act defines an
‘‘institutional investment manager’’ as
any person, other than a natural person,
investing in or buying and selling
securities for its own account, and any
person exercising investment discretion
with respect to the account of any other
person. Rule 13f–1(b) under the
Exchange Act defines ‘‘investment
discretion’’ for purposes of Form 13F
reporting.
The reporting system required by
Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is
intended, among other things, to create
in the Commission a central repository
of historical and current data about the
investment activities of institutional
investment managers, and to improve
the body of factual data available to
regulators and the public.
The Commission staff estimates that
5,044 respondents make approximately
20,176 responses under the rule each
year. The staff estimates that on average,
Form 13F filers spend 80.8 hours/year
to prepare and submit the report. In
addition, the staff estimates that 204
respondents file approximately 816
amendments each year. The staff
estimates that on average, Form 13F
filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and
submit amendments to Form 13F. The
total annual burden of the rule’s
requirements for all respondents
therefore is estimated to be 408,371
hours [(407,555 hours (5,044 filers ×
80.8 hours)) + (816 hours (204 filers ×
4 hours))].
The estimate of average burden hours
is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate
is not derived from a comprehensive or
even a representative survey or study of
the costs of Commission rules. 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 control
number.

collection at the following Web site,

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the

information discussed below.
Rule 35d–1 (17 CFR 270.35d–1) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) defines as
‘‘materially deceptive and misleading’’
for purposes of Section 35(d), among
other things, a name suggesting that a
registered investment company or series
thereof (a ‘‘fund’’) focuses its
investments in a particular type of
investment or investments, in
investments in a particular industry or
group of industries, or in investments in
a particular country or geographic
region, unless, among other things, the
fund adopts a certain investment policy.
Rule 35d–1 further requires either that
the investment policy is fundamental or
that the fund has adopted a policy to
provide its shareholders with at least 30
days prior notice of any change in the
investment policy (‘‘notice to
shareholders’’). The rule’s notice to
shareholders provision is intended to
ensure that when shareholders purchase
shares in a fund based, at least in part,
on its name, and with the expectation
that it will follow the investment policy
suggested by that name, they will have
sufficient time to decide whether to
redeem their shares in the event that the
