chapter 35) as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is
soliciting comments for this collection
(OMB No. 3206–0197). The Office of
Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
RI 38–107 is designed for use by the
Retirement Inspection Branch when
OPM, for any reason, must verify that
the entitled person is indeed receiving
the monies payable. RI 38–147 collects
the same information and is used by
other groups within Retirement
Operations. Failure to collect this
information would cause OPM to pay
monies absent the assurance of a correct
payee.

Change To Amend Exchange Rule 200,

March 12, 2021.
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 March 1,
2021, Miami International Securities
Exchange, LLC (‘‘MIAX Options’’ or the
‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) a proposed rule change
as described in Items I and II 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.

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
The purpose of the proposed rule
change is to amend Exchange Rule
200(d) requiring membership in another
national securities exchange or
association. In sum, Exchange Rule
200(d) currently requires that Trading
Permit 3 holders be a member in another
registered options exchange, other than
the Exchange’s affiliates, MIAX
Emerald, LLC (‘‘Emerald’’) or MIAX
PEARL, LLC (‘‘PEARL’’), or the
Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) where such
other registered options exchange has
not been designated by the Commission,
pursuant to Rule 17d–1 under the
Exchange Act, to examine Members for
compliance with financial responsibility
rules. Exchange Rule 200(d), therefore,
does not allow a Trading Permit Holder
that is not a FINRA member 4 to satisfy
this requirement by being a member of
a registered equities exchange. The
Exchange believes that requiring
membership in another registered
options exchange is unnecessarily too
restrictive and is also not in line with
similar membership requirements at
other exchanges.5 Therefore, to enable
3 The term ‘‘Trading Permit’’ means a permit
issued by the Exchange that confers the ability to
transact on the Exchange. See Exchange Rule 100.
4 A Trading Permit Holder that does not transact
business with the public is not required to become
a FINRA member. Section 15(b)(8) of the Act that
requires members that transact business with the
public to be a member of FINRA. 15 U.S.C.
78o(b)(8).
5 See Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘EDGX’’) Rule
2.5(a)(4), Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc. (‘‘EDGA’’) Rule
2.5(a)(4), Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BZX’’) Rule
2.5(a)(4), Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BYX’’,
collectively with EDGX, EDGA, and BZX, the ‘‘Cboe
Equity Exchanges’’) Rule 2.5(a)(4), MEMX LLC

more broker-dealers to become Trading
Permit holders, the Exchange proposes
to amend Exchange Rule 200(d) to
require membership in a registered
national securities exchange, rather than
only registered options exchanges.6
Exchange Rule 200(d) will continue to
require Trading Permit holders to be
FINRA members where the registered
national securities exchange that they
maintain membership is not designated
by the Commission to examine members
for compliance with financial
responsibility rules pursuant to Rule
17d–1 of the Exchange Act.7
2. Statutory Basis
The proposed rule change is
consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act,8
in general, and furthers the objectives of
Section 6(b)(5),9 in particular, because it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in
regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to
remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market
and a national market system, and, in
general, to protect investors and the
public interest.
The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change would remove
impediments to, and perfect the
mechanisms of, a free and open market
and a national market system and, in
general, protect investors and the public
interest by expanding the number of
registered brokers-dealers that would be
eligible to become Trading Permit
holders and trade on the Exchange,
while maintaining high regulatory
standards and a comprehensive
regulatory regime with respect to such
firms. Exchange Rule 200(d) was too
restrictive by limiting membership in
another registered national securities
exchange to only registered options
(‘‘MEMX’’) Rule 2.5(a)(4), Investors Exchange, Inc.
(‘‘IEX’’) Rule 2.130(a), Long Term Stock Exchange,
Inc. (‘‘LTSE’’) Rule 2.130 and BOX Exchange LLC
(‘‘BOX’’) Rule 2020(a).
6 The Exchange also propose to include the
phrase ‘‘or FINRA’’ at the end of Exchange Rule
200(d)’s title and to not capitalize the word
‘‘holder’’ in the first sentence of the rule.
7 Rule 17d–1 of the Act authorizes the
Commission to name a single Self-Regulatory
Organization (‘‘SRO’’) as the Designated Examining
Authority (‘‘DEA’’) to examine members of more
than one SRO (‘‘common member’’) for compliance
with the financial responsibility requirements
imposed by the Exchange Act, or by Commission
or SRO rules. 17 CFR 240.17d–1. The Exchange
does not currently act as the DEA for any Trading
Permit holder.
