RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
Summary: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
an Information Collection Request (ICR)
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). Our
ICR describes the information we seek
to collect from the public. Review and
approval by OIRA ensures that we
impose appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Employer’s Quarterly Report
of Contributions under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act; OMB
3220–0012.
Under Section 8 of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
as amended by the Railroad
Unemployment Improvement Act of
1988 (Pub. L. 100–647), the RRB
determines the amount of an employer’s
contribution, primarily on the basis of
the RUIA benefits paid, both
unemployment and sickness, to the
employees of the railroad employer.
These experienced-based contributions
take into account the frequency,
volume, and duration of the employees’
unemployment and sickness benefits.
Each employer’s contribution rate
includes a component for administrative
expenses as well as a component to
cover costs shared by all employers. The
regulations prescribing the manner and
Information Collection Request (ICR)

2. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Nonresident Questionnaire;
OMB 3220–0145.
Under Public Laws 98–21 and 98–76,
benefits under the Railroad Retirement
Act payable to annuitants living outside
the United States may be subject to
taxation under United States income tax
laws. Whether the social security
equivalent and non-social security
equivalent portions of Tier I, Tier II,
vested dual benefit, or supplemental
annuity payments are subject to tax
withholding, and whether the same or
different rates are applied to each
payment, depends on a beneficiary’s
citizenship and legal residence status,
and whether exemption under a tax
treaty between the United States and the
country in which the beneficiary is a
legal resident has been claimed. To
effect the required tax withholding, the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) needs
to know a nonresident’s citizenship and
legal residence status.
To secure the required information,
the RRB utilizes Form RRB–1001,
Nonresident Questionnaire, as a
supplement to an application as part of
the initial application process, and as an
independent vehicle for obtaining the
needed information when an
annuitant’s residence or tax treaty status
changes. One response is requested of
each respondent. Completion is
voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial

3. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Statement of Claimant or
Other Person; OMB 3220–0183.
To support an application for an
annuity under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA) or for
unemployment benefits under Section 2
of the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act (RUIA), pertinent
information and proofs must be
furnished for the RRB to determine
benefit entitlement. Circumstances may
require an applicant or other person(s)
having knowledge of facts relevant to
the applicant’s eligibility for an annuity
or benefits to provide written statements
supplementing or changing statements
previously provided by the applicant.
Under the railroad retirement program
these statements may relate to a change
in an annuity beginning date(s), date of
marriage(s), birth(s), prior railroad or
non-railroad employment, an
applicant’s request for reconsideration
of an unfavorable RRB eligibility
determination for an annuity or various
other matters. The statements may also
be used by the RRB to secure a variety
of information needed to determine
eligibility to unemployment and
sickness benefits. Procedures related to
providing information needed for RRA
annuity or RUIA benefit eligibility
determinations are prescribed in 20 CFR
217 and 320 respectively.
The RRB utilizes Form G–93,
Statement of Claimant or Other Person,
to obtain from applicants or other
persons, the supplemental or corrective
information needed to determine
applicant eligibility for an RRA annuity
or RUIA benefits. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Completion is voluntary.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe
BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of a
Proposed Rule Change To Amend the
BZX Equities Fee Schedule
December 26, 2018.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2
notice is hereby given that on December
21, 2018, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and
III below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. is proposing
a rule change to change the
nomenclature associated with the
current logical port fees charged for
order entry ports to reflect a new match
capacity fee that better captures the
service offering of these products. The
text of the proposed rule change is
provided in Exhibit 5.
The text of the proposed rule change
is also available on the Exchange’s
website (https://www.cboe.com/
AboutCBOE/
CBOELegalRegulatoryHome.aspx), at
the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary,
1. Purpose
The Exchange offers two types of
logical ports that permit members to
enter orders into its trading system—i.e.,
Financial Information eXchange (‘‘FIX’’)
and Binary Order Entry (‘‘BOE’’). The
purpose of the proposed rule change is
to amend the BZX Equities fee schedule
to change the nomenclature associated
with the current logical port fees
charged for these offerings to reflect a
new match capacity fee that better
captures the service offering of these
products. As communicated to
members, although the Exchange is
changing its nomenclature to better
reflect the services provided to market
participants, the proposed capacity
allocations described in this proposed
rule change would continue to operate
in the same manner as logical ports
currently used to connect to the
Exchange. The Exchange believes,
however, that properly characterizing
these fees as ‘‘capacity fees,’’ and
specifying the actual levels of message
traffic supported by these products, will
increase transparency and clarity
around its charges and reduce confusion
about the value of the services being
provided to market participants that
choose to access these services.
Today, the Exchange charges all
logical connectivity fees on a ‘‘per port’’
basis. A logical port represents a
technical port established by the
Exchange within the Exchange’s trading
system for the delivery and/or receipt of
trading messages—i.e., orders, accepts,
cancels, transactions, etc.3 Market
participants that wish to connect
3 The Exchange separately offers physical ports
that grant access to the Exchange’s physical
connectivity infrastructure.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule
Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item IV below. The
Exchange has prepared summaries, set
forth in sections A, B, and C below, of
the most significant aspects of such
statements.

directly to the Exchange can request a
number of different types of ports,
including ports that support order entry,
customizable purge functionality, or the
receipt of market data. Firms can also
choose to connect indirectly through a
number of different third party
providers, such as another broker-dealer
or service bureau that the Exchange
permits through specialized access to
the Exchange’s trading system and that
may provide additional services or
operate at a lower mutualized cost by
providing access to multiple members.4
Each logical port that supports order
entry entitles a firm to submit message
traffic of up to 5,000 messages per
second, an amount equivalent to 117
million messages daily, and is currently
charged at a rate of $550 per month.5
An obvious driver for a member’s
decision to purchase multiple ports is
their desire to send or receive additional
levels of message traffic in some
manner, either by increasing the
member’s total amount of message
capacity available, or by segregating
order flow for different trading desks
and clients to avoid latency sensitive
applications from competing for a single
thread of resources. For example, a
member may purchase one or more
ports for its market making business
based on the amount of message traffic
needed to support that business, and
then purchase separate ports for
proprietary trading or customer facing
businesses so that those businesses have
their own distinct connection, allowing
the firm to send multiple messages into
the Exchange’s trading system in
parallel rather than sequentially. Some
members that provide direct market
access to their customers also purchase
separate ports for different clients as a
service for latency sensitive customers
that desire the lowest possible latency to
improve trading performance. Thus,
while a smaller firm with a simple
business model may be able to transact
on the Exchange using one or two FIX
or BOE ports that are billed at a modest
rate of $550 per month each,6 a larger
4 24% of members that traded equities on BZX in
November determined that their business does not
require direct order entry access, and instead
connect indirectly to the Exchange today through a
service bureau or other service provider.
5 Logical port fees are limited to logical ports
within the primary data center. No logical port fees
are assessed for redundant secondary data center
ports. See BZX Equities Fee Schedule, Logical Port
Fees. New requests are prorated for the first month
of service. Cancellation requests are billed in full
month increments as firms are required to pay for
the service for the remainder of the month, unless
the session is terminated within the first month of
service. Id.
6 18% of members that traded equities on BZX in
November purchased only one or two order entry
ports.

an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Our ICR describes the information we seek to collect from the public.
Review and approval by OIRA ensures that we impose appropriate
paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the proposed collections of information
to determine (1) the practical utility of the collections; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden of the collections; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information that is
the subject of collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
collections on respondents, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Comments to the
RRB or OIRA must contain the OMB control number of the ICR. For proper
consideration of your comments, it is best if the RRB and OIRA receive
them within 30 days of the publication date.
1. Title and purpose of information collection: Employer's
Quarterly Report of Contributions under the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act; OMB 3220-0012.
Under Section 8 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),

unemployment and sickness, to the employees of the railroad employer.
These experienced-based contributions take into account the frequency,
volume, and duration of the employees' unemployment and sickness
benefits. Each employer's contribution rate includes a component for
administrative expenses as well as a component to cover costs shared by
all employers. The regulations prescribing the manner and conditions
for remitting the contributions and for adjusting overpayments or
underpayments of contributions are contained in 20 CFR 345.
RRB Form DC-1, Employer's Quarterly Report of Contributions under

2. Title and Purpose of information collection: Nonresident
Questionnaire; OMB 3220-0145.
Under Public Laws 98-21 and 98-76, benefits under the Railroad
Retirement Act payable to annuitants living outside the United States
may be subject to taxation under United States income tax laws. Whether
the social security equivalent and non-social security equivalent
portions of Tier I, Tier II, vested dual benefit, or supplemental
annuity payments are subject to tax withholding, and whether the same
or different rates are applied to each payment, depends on a
beneficiary's citizenship and legal residence status, and whether
exemption under a tax treaty between the United States and the country
in which the beneficiary is a legal resident has been claimed. To
effect the required tax withholding, the Railroad Retirement Board
(RRB) needs to know a nonresident's citizenship and legal residence
status.
To secure the required information, the RRB utilizes Form RRB-1001,
Nonresident Questionnaire, as a supplement to an application as part of
the initial application process, and as an independent vehicle for
obtaining the needed information when an annuitant's residence or tax
treaty status changes. One response is requested of each respondent.
Completion is voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the

3. Title and Purpose of information collection: Statement of
Claimant or Other Person; OMB 3220-0183.
To support an application for an annuity under Section 2 of the
Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) or for unemployment benefits under
Section 2 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), pertinent
information and proofs must be furnished for the RRB to determine
benefit entitlement. Circumstances may require an applicant or other
person(s) having knowledge of facts relevant to the applicant's
eligibility for an annuity or benefits to provide written statements
supplementing or changing statements previously provided by the
applicant. Under the railroad retirement program these statements may
relate to a change in an annuity beginning date(s), date of
marriage(s), birth(s), prior railroad or non-railroad employment, an
applicant's request for reconsideration of an unfavorable RRB
eligibility determination for an annuity or various other matters. The
statements may also be used by the RRB to secure a variety of
information needed to determine eligibility to unemployment and
sickness benefits. Procedures related to providing information needed
for RRA annuity or RUIA benefit eligibility determinations are
prescribed in 20 CFR 217 and 320 respectively.
The RRB utilizes Form G-93, Statement of Claimant or Other Person,
to obtain from applicants or other persons, the supplemental or
corrective information needed to determine applicant eligibility for an
RRA annuity or RUIA benefits. One response is requested of each
respondent. Completion is voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
