open market and a national market
system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The
Commission also believes that the
proposal is consistent with Sections
6(b)(1) and 6(b)(6) of the Act 18 which
require that the rules of an exchange
enforce compliance with, and provide
appropriate discipline for, violations of
Commission and Exchange rules.
Finally, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with the public
interest, the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes
of the Act, as required by Rule 19d–
1(c)(2) under the Act,19 which governs
minor rule violation plans.
As stated above, the Exchange
proposes to add the CAT Compliance
Rules to the list of minor rule violations
in Rule 9217 to be consistent with the
approach FINRA has taken for minor
violations of its corresponding CAT
Compliance Rules.20 The Commission
has already approved FINRA’s treatment
of CAT Compliance Rules violations
when it approved the addition of CAT
Compliance Rules to FINRA’s MRVP.21
As noted in that order, and similarly
herein, the Commission believes that
Exchange’s treatment of CAT
Compliance Rules violations as part of
its MRVP provides a reasonable means
of addressing violations that do not rise
to the level of requiring formal
disciplinary proceedings, while
providing greater flexibility in handling
certain violations. However, the
Commission expects that, as with
FINRA, the Exchange will continue to
conduct surveillance with due diligence
and make determinations based on its
findings, on a case-by-case basis,
regarding whether a sanction under the
rule is appropriate, or whether a
violation requires formal disciplinary
action. Accordingly, the Commission
believes the proposal raises no novel or
significant issues.
For the same reasons discussed above,
the Commission finds good cause,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,22 for approving the proposed rule
18 15
U.S.C. 78f(b)(1) and 78f(b)(6).
CFR 240.19d–1(c)(2).
20 As discussed above, the Exchange has entered
into a Rule 17d–2 Plan and an RSA with FINRA
with respect to the CAT Compliance Rules. The
Commission notes that, unless relieved by the
Commission of its responsibility, as may be the case
under the Rule 17d–2 Plan, the Exchange continues
to bear the responsibility for self-regulatory conduct
and liability for self-regulatory failures, not the selfregulatory organization retained to perform
regulatory functions on the Exchange’s behalf
pursuant to an RSA. See Securities Exchange
Release No. 61419 (January 26, 2010), 75 FR 5157
(February 1, 2010) (SR–BATS–2009–031), note 93
and accompanying text.

change prior to the thirtieth day after
the date of publication of the notice of
the filing thereof in the Federal
Register. The proposal merely adds the
CAT Compliance Rules to the
Exchange’s MRVP and harmonizes its
application with FINRA’s application of
CAT Compliance Rules under its own
MRVP. Accordingly, the Commission
believes that a full notice-and-comment
period is not necessary before approving
the proposal.
V. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 23 and Rule
19d–1(c)(2) thereunder,24 that the
proposed rule change (SR–NYSEAMER–
2020–52) be, and hereby is, approved on
an accelerated basis.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.25

Assistant Secretary.

Authorization for the Social Security
Administration to Obtain Wage and
Employment Information from Payroll
Data Providers—0960–0807. Section 824
of the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of
2015, Public Law 114–74, authorizes
SSA to enter into information exchanges
with payroll data providers for the
purposes of improving program
administration and preventing improper
payments in the Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
programs. SSA uses Form SSA–8240,
‘‘Authorization for the Social Security
Administration to Obtain Wage and
Employment Information from Payroll
Data Providers,’’ to secure the
authorization needed from the relevant
members of the public to obtain their
wage and employment information from
payroll data providers. Ultimately, SSA
uses this wage and employment
information to help determine program
eligibility and payment amounts.
The public completes Form SSA–8240
using the following modalities: A paper
form; the internet; or an in-office, or
telephone interview, during which an
SSA employee documents the wage and
employment information authorization
information on one of SSA’s internal
systems (the Modernized Claims System
(MCS); the SSI Claims System; eWork;
or iMain). The individual’s
authorization remains effective until
one of the following four events occurs:
• SSA makes a final adverse decision
on the application for benefits, and the
applicant has filed no other claims or
appeals under the Title for which SSA
obtained the authorization;
• the individual’s eligibility for
payments ends, and the individual has
not filed other claims or appeals under

• the individual revokes the
authorization verbally or in writing; or
• the deeming relationship ends (for
SSI purposes only).
SSA requests authorization on an asneeded basis as part of the following
processes: (a) SSDI and SSI initial
claims; (b) SSI redeterminations; and (c)
SSDI Work Continuing Disability
Reviews. The respondents are
