SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery
Abstract: The information collection
activity will gather qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:45 Aug 25, 2017
Jkt 241001
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback PBGC means
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but the information requests are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative
results generalizable to the population
of interest. Collections with such
objectives 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.
The feedback from this information
collection 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
PBGC and its customers and
stakeholders. These collections also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
The collection of information has
been approved by OMB under control
number 1212–0066 through August 31,
2017. PBGC is requesting that OMB
extend approval of the information
collection for another three years
without change. 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.
On June 21, 2017 (82 FR 28363),
PBGC published a notice informing the
public that it intended to request OMB
approval and soliciting public comment.
No comments were received.
Annually, over the next three years,
PBGC estimates that it will conduct
three activities involving about 1,630
respondents, each of whom will provide
one response. The number of
respondents will vary by activity: 40 for
usability testing, 90 for focus groups
(nine groups of ten respondents), and
1,500 for customer satisfaction surveys.
PBGC estimates the annual burden of
this collection of information as 635
hours: 2 hours per response for usability
testing (total 80 hours); 2 hours per
response for focus groups (total 180
hours); and 15 minutes per response for

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to: (i) Add
new optional functionality to orders that
include the Minimum Execution
Quantity instruction by amending
paragraph (h) of Exchange Rule 11.6,
Definitions; (ii) amend paragraph (b)(3)

Quantity). See also Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 73959 (December 30, 2014), 80 FR 582 (January

functionality for Minimum Quantity Orders). See

application, which included IEX’s Minimum

Exchange Rule 11.6(h), Proposed
Individual Minimum Size
The Exchange proposes to add new
optional functionality that would
enhance the utility of the Minimum
Execution Quantity instruction by
amending paragraph (h) of Exchange
Rule 11.6, Definitions. In sum, the
proposal would permit an incoming
order with a Minimum Execution
Quantity to forego executions where
multiple resting orders could otherwise
be aggregated to satisfy the order’s
minimum quantity.
A Minimum Execution Quantity
enables a User 7 to specify a minimum
share amount at which the order will
execute. An order with a Minimum
Execution Quantity will not execute
unless the volume of contra-side
liquidity available to execute against the
order meets or exceeds the designated
minimum. Specifically, Minimum
Execution Quantity is an instruction a
User may attach to an order with a NonDisplayed 8 instruction or a TIF of IOC 9
requiring the System 10 to execute the
order only to the extent that a minimum
quantity can be satisfied by execution
against a single order or multiple
aggregated orders simultaneously.11
Today, an order with a Minimum
Execution Quantity will execute upon
entry against a single order or multiple
orders if the sum of those orders is equal
to or greater than its minimum quantity.
An order with a Minimum Execution
Quantity instruction may be partially
executed upon entry so long as the
execution size is equal to or exceeds the
minimum quantity provided in the
instruction. Any shares remaining after
a partial execution will continue to be
executed at a size that is equal to or
exceeds the quantity provided in the
instruction. Where the number of shares
7 The term ‘‘User’’ is defined as ‘‘any Member or
Sponsored Participant who is authorized to obtain
access to the System pursuant to Rule 11.3.’’ See
Exchange Rule 1.5(ee).
8 The term ‘‘Non-Displayed’’ is defined as ‘‘[a]n
instruction the User may attach to an order stating
that the order is not to be displayed by the System
on the EDGX Book.’’ See Exchange Rule 11.6(e)(2).
9 As discussed below, the Exchange also proposes
to clarify within Rule 11.6(h) that a Minimum
Quantity instruction may also be added to an order
with a TIF of IOC. See e.g., Exchange Rules
11.8(a)(3) and (c)(2) (specifying that the Minimum
Quantity instruction may be included on Market
Orders and ISOs with a TIF of IOC).
10 The term ‘‘System’’ is defined as ‘‘the
electronic communications and trading facility
designated by the Board through which securities
orders of Users are consolidated for ranking,
execution and, when applicable, routing away.’’ See
Exchange Rule 1.5(cc).
11 Today, the System will aggregate multiple
resting orders to satisfy the incoming order’s
minimum quantity and a User cannot elect the
incoming order to execute against a single resting
contra-side order.
