RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
In accordance with the requirement of
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 which provides
opportunity for public comment on new
or revised data collections, the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed data
collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Medical Reports; OMB 3220–
0038.
Under sections 2(a)(1)(iv) and
2(a)(1)(v) of the Railroad Retirement Act
(RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a), annuities are
payable to qualified railroad employees
whose physical or mental condition
makes them unable to (1) work in their
regular occupation (occupational
disability) or (2) work at all (total
disability). The requirements for
establishing disability and proof of
continuing disability under the RRA are
prescribed in 20 CFR 220.
Annuities are also payable to (1)
qualified spouses and widow(ers) under
sections 2(c)(1)(ii)(C) and 2(d)(1)(ii) of
the RRA who have a qualifying child
who became disabled before age 22; (2)
surviving children on the basis of
disability under section 2(d)(1)(iii)(C), if
the child’s disability began before age
22; and (3) widow(er)s on the basis of
disability under section 2(d)(1)(i)(B). To
meet the disability standard, the RRA
provides that individuals must have a
permanent physical or mental condition
that makes them unable to engage in any
regular employment.
Under section 2(d)(1)(v) of the RRA,
annuities are also payable to remarried
widow(er)s and surviving divorced
spouses on the basis of, among other
things, disability or having a qualifying
disabled child in care. However, the
disability standard in these cases is that
found in the Social Security Act. That
is, individuals must be unable to engage
in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment. The
RRB also determines entitlement to a
Period of Disability and entitlement to
early Medicare based on disability for
qualified claimants in accordance with
Section 216 of the Social Security Act.
When making disability
determinations, the RRB needs evidence
from acceptable medical sources. The
RRB currently utilizes Forms G–3EMP,
Report of Medical Condition by
Employer; G–197, Authorization to
Disclose Information to the Railroad
Retirement Board; G–250, Medical
Assessment; G–250A, Medical
Assessment of Residual Functional
Capacity; G–260, Report of Seizure
Disorder; RL–11B, Disclosure of
Hospital Medical Records; RL–11D,
Disclosure of Medical Records from a
State Agency; RL–11D1, Request for
Medical Evidence from Employers, and
RL–250, Request for Medical
Assessment, to obtain the necessary
medical evidence. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Completion is required for all forms to
obtain benefits except Form RL–11D1,
which is voluntary. The RRB proposes
minor non-burden revisions to all forms,
except Form RL–11D1.

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.
1. Purpose
On August 30, 2011, the Exchange
received approval of rules applicable to
the qualification, listing, and delisting
of companies on the Exchange,3 which
it modified on February 8, 2012 in order
to adopt pricing for the listing of
exchange traded products (‘‘ETPs’’) 4 on
the Exchange.5 On July 3, 2017, the
Exchange made certain changes to Rule
14.13 such that there were no entry fees
or annual fees for ETPs listed on the
Exchange.6 Effective January 1, 2019,
the Exchange made certain changes to
Rule 14.13 in order to charge an entry
fee for ETPs that are not GenericallyListed ETPs 7 and to add annual listing
fees for ETPs listed on the Exchange.8
The Exchange then made certain
additional modifications to Rule 14.13
in May 2019 related to listings that are
transferring to the Exchange and to
make certain changes to the fees
associated with Linked Securities.9 10
3 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 65225
(August 30, 2011), 76 FR 55148 (September 6, 2011)
(SR–BATS–2011–018).
4 As defined in Rule 11.8(e)(1)(A), the term ‘‘ETP’’
means any security listed pursuant to Exchange
Rule 14.11.
5 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 66422
(February 17, 2012), 77 FR 11179 (February 24,
2012) (SR–BATS–2012–010).
6 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81152
(July 14, 2017), 82 FR 33525 (July 20, 2017) (SR–
BatsBZX–2017–45).
7 As defined in Rule 14.13(b)(1)(C)(i), the term
‘‘Generically-Listed ETPs’’ means Index Fund
Shares, Portfolio Depositary Receipts, Managed
Fund Shares, Linked Securities, and Currency Trust
Shares that are listed on the Exchange pursuant to
Rule 19b–4(e) under the Exchange Act and for
which a proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b) of the Exchange Act is not required to be filed
with the Commission.
8 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 83597
(July 5, 2018), 83 FR 32164 (July 11, 2018) (SR–
CboeBZX–2018–46).

PO 00000

The Exchange submits this proposal in
order to amend Rule 14.13(b)(2) in order
to create annual pricing cap for
Outcome Strategy Series, as defined
below, that are listed on the Exchange.
As part of this proposal to create a fee
cap for Outcome Strategy Series, the
Exchange is also proposing to make a
corresponding numbering change to
make current Rule 14.13(b)(2)(iv)
become Rule 14.13(b)(2)(v) and to add
language to proposed Rule 14.13(b)(2)(v)
in order to make clear that ETPs that are
subject to the new pricing for Outcome
Strategy Series would not be subject to
the fees applicable under Rule
14.13(b)(2)(v) in the same way that
Legacy Listings, Auction Fee Listings,
and Transfer Listings are not subject to
such fees.
Currently, all ETPs listed on the
Exchange are subject to annual fees
applicable under Rule 14.13(b)(2)(C)(i)–
(iv). Newly listed ETPs receive reduced
and prorated annual rates,11 certain
other listings receive reduced rates,12
others receive a waiver of annual fees
based on the auction volume of an
issuer’s ETPs listed on the Exchange,13
and all other ETPs are subject to pricing
based on the consolidated average daily
volume of the ETP in the fourth quarter
of the preceding calendar year. As noted
above, the Exchange is proposing to
create a cap on annual fees where an
issuer lists a series of ETPs that are each
designed to provide (i) a pre-defined set
of returns; (ii) over a specified outcome
period; (iii) based on the performance of
the same underlying instrument; and
(iv) each employ the same outcome
strategy for achieving the pre-defined
Rule 14.11(d), but specifically includes Equity
Index-Linked Securities, Commodity-Linked
Securities, Fixed Income Index-Linked Securities,
Futures-Linked Securities, and Multifactor IndexLinked Securities.
10 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 85881
(May 16, 2019), 84 FR 23607 (May 22, 2019) (SR–
CboeBZX–2019–042).
11 Pursuant to Rule 14.13(b)(2)(C)(ii), where an
ETP first lists on the Exchange or has been listed
for fewer than three calendar months on the ETP’s
first trading day of the year (a ‘‘New Listing’’), such
ETP will have an annual listing fee of $4,500. Upon
initial listing on the Exchange, the annual listing fee
applicable to New Listings will be prorated based
on the number of trading days remaining in the
calendar year, except that Transfer Listings will not
be subject to an Annual Fee for the remainder of
the calendar year following the date of listing on the
Exchange.
12 Pursuant to Rule 14.13(b)(2)(C)(i), where an
ETP was listed on the Exchange prior to January 1,
2019 (a ‘‘Legacy Listing’’) or is a Transfer Listing,
such ETP will have an annual listing fee of $4,000.
13 Pursuant to Rule 14.13(b)(2)(C)(iii), where the
average daily auction volume combined between
the opening and closing auctions on the Exchange
across all of an issuer’s ETPs listed on the Exchange
exceeds 500,000 shares (an ‘‘Auction Fee Listing’’),
there is no annual listing fee for any of the issuer’s
ETPs listed on the Exchange.
