E6-2396 Filed 2-17-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4510-43-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34-53276; File No. SR-NASD-2005-098] Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 Thereto Relating to the Submission of SEC Rule 15c2-11 Information on Non-Nasdaq Securities February 13, 2006. 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 August 18, 2005, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) proposed rule change SR-NASD-2005-098 as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by NASD. On January 10, 2006, NASD filed Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. 3 The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change, as amended, from interested persons. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 3 Amendment No. 1 made certain technical and clarifying changes to the original rule filing of August 18, 2005. Amendment No. 1 supersedes and replaces the original rule filing in its entirety. I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change NASD is proposing to amend NASD Rule 6740 to
(1)relieve members of the obligation to file with NASD copies of certain information that is electronically accessible through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system; and
(2)exclude from NASD Rule 6740 quotation activity for which the SEC has granted an exemption under SEC Rule 15c2-11(h). Below is the text of the proposed rule change. Proposed new language is *italicized* ; proposed deletions are in [brackets]. 6740. Submission of Rule 15c2-11 Information on Non-Nasdaq Securities
(a)Except as provided in SEC Rule 15c2-11(f)(1), (2), (3), and
(5)*and 15c2-11(h)* under the Act, no member shall initiate or resume the quotation of a non-Nasdaq security in any quotation medium unless the member has demonstrated compliance with this rule and the applicable requirements for information maintenance under Rule 15c2-11. A member shall demonstrate compliance by making a filing with, and in the form required by, [the Association] *NASD* , which filing must be received at least three business days before the member's quotation is published or displayed in the quotation medium.
(b)The information to be filed shall contain one copy of all information required to be maintained under SEC Rule 15c2-11(a)(1), (2), (3)(iii), (4)(ii), or (5), including any information that may be required by future amendments thereto. *Members are not required to file with NASD copies of any information that is available through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system; provided, however, that the filing with NASD shall contain identifying information for each issuer report or statement available through EDGAR that was relied upon in satisfying the member's obligations under this Rule and SEC Rule 15c2-11(a), including the type of report, report date and any other information as may be requested by NASD.* In addition, this filing shall identify the issuer, the issuer's predecessor in the event of a merger or reorganization within the previous 12 months, the type of non-Nasdaq security to be quoted ( *e.g.* , ADR, warrant, unit, or common stock), the quotation medium to be used, the member's initial or resumed quotation, and the particular subsection of Rule 15c2-11 with which the member is demonstrating compliance. Additionally, if a member is initiating or resuming quotation of a non-Nasdaq security with a priced entry, the member's filing must specify the basis upon which that priced entry was determined and the factors considered in making that determination.
(c)If a member's initial or resumed quotation does not include a priced entry, a member shall supplement its prior filing under this Rule, in the form required by [the Association] *NASD* , before inserting a priced entry for the affected non-Nasdaq security in a quotation medium. The supplemental filing shall specify the basis upon which the proposed priced entry was determined and the factors considered in making that determination. The supplemental filing must be received by [the Association] *NASD* at least three business days before the member's priced entry first appears in a quotation medium.
(d)All filings made with [the Association] NASD under this Rule must be reviewed and signed by a principal of the member firm. II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, NASD 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. NASD has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose NASD Rule 6740 prohibits a member from initiating or resuming the quotation of a non-Nasdaq security 4 in a quotation medium unless the member has demonstrated compliance with the requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-11 pertaining to the review and maintenance of specified information about the security and issuer. To demonstrate compliance with both NASD Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11, a member must file with NASD a Form 211, together with the information required under SEC Rule 15c2-11(a), at least three business days before the quotation is published or displayed. 4 For purposes of this rule, “non-Nasdaq security” is defined in NASD Rule 6710(c) as “any equity security that is neither included in The Nasdaq Stock Market nor traded on any national securities exchange.” Much of the information that is required under SEC Rule 15c2-11(a) for reporting issuers, such as prospectuses, offering circulars and annual reports, is publicly available through the SEC's EDGAR system. NASD believes that there is no policy purpose served in requiring members to file with NASD copies of such information. Accordingly, NASD is proposing to relieve members of the obligation to file with NASD copies of information that is electronically accessible through the SEC's EDGAR system. NASD believes the proposed rule change, as amended, will eliminate the administrative burden and cost imposed on members in furnishing such information to NASD. Although members will not be required to file the information with NASD, they will nonetheless remain obligated under NASD Rule 6740 to review and maintain information as required by SEC Rule 15c2-11. In addition, members currently are required to identify on the Form 211 the type and date of each report or statement that is submitted to NASD. Under the proposed rule change, as amended, where copies of documents are not submitted to NASD because they are available through EDGAR, members will continue to be required to provide on the Form 211 the type and date of each report or statement, as well as other information as may be requested by NASD relating to each report or statement for the reporting issuer that the member relied upon in satisfying its information review obligations under NASD Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11(a). 5 5 If information other than the type and date of the statement or report is required to be submitted by members under this proposed provision, NASD will provide notice of these additional requirements in a Notice to Members. In addition, paragraphs
(f)and
(h)of SEC Rule 15c2-11 set forth the exclusions to the rule's information review and maintenance requirements. NASD Rule 6740(a) tracks the SEC Rule 15c2-11(f) exceptions, 6 but does not contain an exclusion for those quotations pursuant to which the Commission has granted an exemption, upon request or its own motion, under SEC Rule 15c2-11(h). NASD believes that the terms for filing a Form 211 under NASD Rule 6740 should conform to SEC Rule 15c2-11; members should not be required to review, maintain and file information under the NASD rule if there is no similar obligation under the SEC rule. Accordingly, NASD is proposing to amend NASD Rule 6740 to relieve members of their obligations under the rule in the event that the Commission has granted an exemption to any quotation under SEC Rule 15c2-11(h). To the extent that the Commission's exemptive relief applies any terms and conditions to such relief, those same terms and conditions would apply to the exclusion under NASD Rule 6740. 6 Because the definition of “non-Nasdaq security” under NASD Rule 6710(c) excludes debt instruments, NASD Rule 6740 does not refer to subsection (f)(4) of SEC Rule 15c2-11, which relates to municipal securities. Finally, NASD no longer refers to itself using its full corporate name, “the Association,” or “the NASD.” Instead, NASD uses the name “NASD” unless otherwise appropriate for corporate or regulatory reasons. Accordingly, the proposed rule change, as amended, replaces, as a technical change, several references in NASD Rule 6740 to “the Association” with the name “NASD.” NASD will announce the effective date of the proposed rule change, as amended, in a *Notice to Members* to be published no later than 60 days following Commission approval. The effective date will be 30 days following publication of the *Notice to Members* announcing Commission approval. 2. Statutory Basis NASD believes that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act, which requires, among other things, that NASD rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. NASD believes that harmonizing NASD Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11, so that members are not required to review, maintain and file information under the NASD rule when they are not required to review and maintain such information under the SEC rule, is consistent with the Act. Moreover, SEC Rule 15c2-11 is, by its terms, “a means reasonably designed to prevent fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative acts or practices,” and thus, NASD believes that harmonizing NASD Rule 6740 and SEC Rule 15c2-11 is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition NASD does not believe that the proposed rule change, as amended, will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** or within such longer period
(i)as the Commission may designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or
(ii)as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
(A)By order approve such proposed rule change, as amended, or
(B)Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change, as amended, should be disapproved. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission's Internet comment form ( *http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml* ); or • Send an e-mail to *rule-comments@sec.gov.* Please include File Number SR-NASD-2005-098 on the subject line.

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 January 31, 2006, the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE” or “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) the 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. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange seeks to extend its pilot program that amends NYSE Rule 36 (Communication Between Exchange and Members' Offices) to allow Floor brokers and Registered Competitive Market Makers (“RCMMs”) to use Exchange authorized and provided portable telephones on the Exchange Floor upon approval by the Exchange (“Pilot”) for an additional six months, until July 31, 2006. The last extension of the Pilot was in effect on a six-month pilot basis expiring on January 31, 2006. 3 The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site ( *http://www.nyse.com* ), at the Exchange's principal office, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room. 3 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 52188 (August 1, 2005), 70 FR 46252 (August 9, 2005) (SR-NYSE-2005-53). 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. A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose Background The Commission originally approved the Pilot to be implemented as a six-month pilot 4 beginning no later than June 23, 2003. 5 Since the inception of the Pilot, the Exchange has extended the Pilot five times, with the current Pilot expiring on January 31, 2006. 6 Most recently, the Exchange incorporated RCMMs into the Pilot and clarified the conditions under which a Floor broker may use an Exchange authorized and provided portable phone. 7 The Exchange has also filed for permanent approval of NYSE Rule 36, as amended. 8 4 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47671 (April 11, 2003), 68 FR 19048 (April 17, 2003) (SR-NYSE-2002-11) (“Original Order”). 5 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 47992 (June 5, 2003), 68 FR 35047 (June 11, 2003) (SR-NYSE-2003-19) (delaying the implementation date for portable phones from on or about May 1, 2003 to no later than June 23, 2003). 6 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 48919 (December 12, 2003), 68 FR 70853 (December 19, 2003) (SR-NYSE-2003-38) (extending the Pilot for an additional six months ending on June 16, 2004); 49954 (July 1, 2004), 69 FR 41323 (July 8, 2004) (SR-NYSE-2004-30) (extending the Pilot for an additional five months ending on November 30, 2004); 50777 (December 1, 2004), 69 FR 71090 (December 8, 2004) (SR-NYSE-2004-67) (extending the Pilot for an additional four months ending March 31, 2005); 51464 (March 31, 2005), 70 FR 17746 (April 7, 2005) (SR-NYSE-2005-20) (extending the Pilot for additional four months ending July 31, 2005); and 52188, *supra* note 3. 7 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53213 (February 2, 2006) (SR-NYSE-2005-80). 8 *See* SR-NYSE-2004-52 (September 7, 2004). With respect to regulatory actions concerning the Pilot, there is an open investigation into possible insider trading in an NYSE listed security in which the trading activity of two RCMMs has been identified and is under review. The use of an Exchange authorized and provided portable phone by one of the RCMMs in or about January 2005 is under review as part of the investigation. No administrative or technical problems, other than routine telephone maintenance issues, have resulted from the Pilot over the past few months. 9 Therefore, the Exchange seeks to extend the Pilot for an additional six months, until July 31, 2006. 9 The Exchange notes that it has received incoming telephone records for Floor brokers for the period of July 4, 2005 through January 31, 2006, and for RCMMs for the period of November 22, 2005 through January 31, 2006, and will continue to receive monthly updates. NYSE Rule 36 NYSE Rule 36 governs the establishment of telephone or electronic communications between the Exchange Floor and any other location. Prior to the Pilot, NYSE Rule 36.20 prohibited the use of portable telephone communications between the Exchange Floor and any off-Floor location. The only way that voice communication could be conducted by Floor brokers between the Exchange Floor and an off-Floor location prior to the Pilot was by means of a telephone located at a broker's booth. These communications often involved a customer calling a broker at the booth for “market look” information. Prior to the Pilot, a broker could not use a portable phone at the point of sale in the trading crowd to speak with a person located off the Exchange Floor. Furthermore, until recently, NYSE Rule 36.20 only applied to a Floor broker's ability to use an Exchange authorized and provided portable phone. 10 RCMMs are non-specialist members of the Exchange and do not have the same type of information ( *i.e.* , access to the Display Book®) that a specialist has. As such, the Exchange believes it is appropriate for RCMMs to participate in the Pilot so that they can communicate with their offices in order to, among other things, enter off-Floor orders and better monitor their positions. 11 10 Telephone conversation between Jeff Rosenstrock, Senior Counsel, NYSE, and Molly M. Kim, Attorney, Division of Market Regulation, Commission, on February 8, 2006. 11 The Exchange has developed surveillance and examination procedures to monitor the activities of RCMMs, including their use of Exchange authorized and provided portable phones. The Exchange proposes to extend the Pilot for an additional six months, expiring on July 31, 2006. The Pilot would amend NYSE Rule 36 to permit Floor brokers and RCMMs to use Exchange authorized and issued portable telephones on the Exchange Floor. Thus, with the approval of the Exchange, a Floor broker would be permitted to engage in direct voice communication from the point of sale to an off-Floor location, such as a member firm's trading desk or the office of one of the broker's customers. Such communications would permit the broker to accept orders consistent with Exchange rules 12 and provide status and oral execution reports of orders previously received, as well as “market look” observations as have historically been routinely transmitted from a broker's booth location. Moreover, the Pilot would allow RCMMs to use an Exchange authorized and portable phone solely to communicate with their or their member organizations' off-Floor office and the off-Floor office of their clearing member organization, to enter off-Floor orders, and to discuss matters related to the clearance and settlement of transactions, provided the off-Floor office uses a wired telephone line for these discussions. RCMMs, however, would not be allowed to use a portable phone to conduct any agency business until issues involving the use of portable phones by RCMMs acting in the capacity of agent have been fully reviewed and resolved by NYSE Regulation in consultation with the Commission. 13 For both RCMMs and Floor brokers, use of a portable telephone on the Exchange Floor other than one authorized and issued by the Exchange would continue to be prohibited. 12 Floor brokers receiving orders from the public over portable phones must be properly qualified to engage in such “direct access” business under NYSE Rules 342 and 345, among others. 13 Allowing RCMMs acting as Floor brokers to use Exchange authorized and provided portable phones would involve further discussions with the Commission and would be the subject of a separate filing with the Commission. Furthermore, both incoming and outgoing calls would continue to be allowed, provided the requirements of all other Exchange rules have been met. Under NYSE Rule 123(e), a broker would not be permitted to represent and execute any order received as a result of such voice communication unless the order was first properly recorded by the member and entered into the Exchange's Front End Systemic Capture (“FESC”) electronic database. 14 In addition, Exchange rules require that any Floor broker receiving orders from the public over portable phones must be properly qualified to engage in such direct access business under NYSE Rules 342 and 345, among others. 15 14 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 43689 (December 7, 2000), 65 FR 79145 (December 18, 2000) (SR-NYSE-98-25). *See also* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 44943 (October 16, 2001), 66 FR 53820 (October 24, 2001) (SR-NYSE-2001-39) (discussing certain exceptions to FESC, such as orders to offset an error or a bona fide arbitrage, which may be entered within 60 second after a trade is executed). 15 *See* Information Memos 01-41 (November 21, 2001), 01-18 (July 11, 2001) (available on *http://www.nyse.com* ) and 91-25 (July 8, 1991) for more information regarding Exchange requirements for conducting a public business on the Exchange Floor. In addition, NYSE Rule 36 does not apply to specialists, who are prohibited from speaking from the post to upstairs trading desks or customers. 16 The Exchange notes that specialists are subject to separate restrictions in NYSE Rule 36 on their ability to engage in voice communications from the specialist post to an off-Floor location. 17 16 NYSE Rule 36.30 provides that, with the approval of the Exchange, a specialist unit may maintain a telephone line at its stock trading post location to the off-Floor offices of the specialist unit or the unit's clearing firm. Such telephone connection shall not be used for the purpose of transmitting to the Floor orders for the purchase or sale of securities, but may be used to enter options or futures hedging orders through the unit's off-Floor office or the unit's clearing firm, or through a member (on the Exchange Floor) of an options or futures exchange. 17 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 46560 (September 26, 2002), 67 FR 62088 (October 3, 2002) (SR-NYSE-00-31) (discussing restrictions on specialists' communications from the post). By enabling customers to speak directly to a Floor broker in a trading crowd on an Exchange authorized and issued portable telephone and by allowing RCMMs to communicate with their upstairs office's land line and the land line of their clearing member organization's upstairs office, the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would expedite and make more direct the free flow of information which, prior to the Pilot, had to be transmitted somewhat more circuitously via the booth. The Exchange believes that an extension of the Pilot for an additional six months would enable the Exchange to provide more direct, efficient access to its trading crowds and customers, increase the speed of transmittal of orders and the execution of trades, and provide an enhanced level of service to customers in an increasingly competitive environment. 18 18 *See, e.g.,* Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 43493 (October 30, 2000), 65 FR 67022 (November 8, 2000) (SR-CBOE-00-04) (expanding the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Inc.'s existing policy and rules governing the use of telephones at equity option trading posts by allowing for the receipt of orders over outside telephone lines from any source, directly at equity trading posts) and 43836 (January 11, 2001), 66 FR 6727 (January 22, 2001) (SR-PCS-00-33) (discussing and approving the Pacific Exchange's proposal to remove current prohibitions against Floor brokers' use of cellular or cordless phones to make calls to persons located off the trading floor). Pilot Program Results Since the Pilot's inception, the Exchange represents that there have been approximately 800 portable phone subscribers. 19 In addition, with regard to portable phone usage, for a sample week of December 5, 2005 through December 9, 2005, an average of 10,951 calls per day were originated from portable phones, and an average of 4,932 calls per day were received on portable phones. Of the calls originated from portable phones, an average of 7,216 calls per day was internal calls to the booth, and 3,735 calls per day were external calls. Thus, approximately 66% of the calls originated from portable phones were internal calls to the booth. With regard to received calls, of the 4,932 average calls per days received, an average of 2,472 calls per day was external calls and an average of 2,460 calls per day was internal calls received from the booth. Thus, approximately 50% of all received calls were internally generated and 50% were calls from the outside. 19 The data includes both Floor brokers' and RCMMs' usage of Exchange authorized and provided phones. Telephone conversation between Jeff Rosenstrock, Senior Special Counsel, NYSE, and Molly M. Kim, Attorney, Division of Market Regulation, Commission, on February 7, 2006. Therefore, the Exchange believes that the Pilot appears to be successful in that there is a reasonable degree of usage of portable phones. Furthermore, except as noted above, there have been no other regulatory, administrative, or other technical problems identified with their usage. The Exchange also believes that the Pilot appears to facilitate communication on the Exchange Floor for both Floor brokers and RCMMs without any corresponding drawbacks. Therefore, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to extend the Pilot for an additional six months, expiring on July 31, 2006. 2. Statutory Basis The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act 20 in general, and further the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act 21 in particular, in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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 amendment to NYSE Rule 36 would support the mechanism of free and open markets by providing for increased means by which communications to and from the Exchange Floor could take place. 20 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). 21 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others The Exchange has neither solicited nor received written comments on the proposed rule change. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
(i)Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest;
(ii)impose any significant burden on competition; and
(iii)become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 22 and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder. 23 At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. 22 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). 23 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). The Exchange requests that the Commission waive the 30-day operative period under Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii). 24 The Exchange believes that the continuation of the Pilot is in the public interest as it will avoid inconvenience and interruption to the public. The Commission believes that it is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest to waive the 30-day operative delay and make this proposed rule change immediately effective upon filing on January 31, 2006. 25 The Commission believes that the waiver of the 30-day operative delay will allow the Exchange to continue, without interruption, the existing operation of its Pilot until July 31, 2006. 24 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). 25 For purposes only of waiving, the 30-day operative delay of this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). The Commission notes that proper surveillance is an essential component of any telephone access policy to an exchange trading floor. Surveillance procedures should help to ensure that Floor brokers and RCMMs use portable phones as authorized by NYSE Rule 36 26 and that orders are being handled in compliance with NYSE rules. The Commission expects the Exchange to actively review these procedures and address any potential concerns that have arisen during the Pilot. In this regard, the Commission notes that the Exchange should address whether telephone records are adequate for surveillance purposes. 26 *See* note 11 *supra* and accompanying text for other NYSE requirements that Floor brokers be properly qualified before doing public customer business. The Commission also requests that the Exchange report any problems, surveillance, or enforcement matters associated with the Floor brokers' and RCMMs' use of an Exchange authorized and provided portable telephone on the Exchange Floor. As stated in the Original Order, the NYSE should also address whether additional surveillance would be needed because of the derivative nature of the ETFs. Furthermore, in any future additional filings on the Pilot, the Commission would expect that the NYSE submit information documenting the usage of the phones, any problems that have occurred, including, among other things, any regulatory actions or concerns, and any advantages or disadvantages that have resulted. 27 27 In the future, the Commission expects the information to distinguish between Floor brokers' and RCMMs' usage of the phones. IV.

Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments • Use the Commission's Internet comment form ( *http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml* ); or • Send an e-mail to *rule-comments@sec.gov.* Please include File Number SR-NYSE-2006-03 on the subject line.

Workers' Compensation/Public Disability Questionnaire—20 CFR 404.408-0960-0247. Section 224 of the Social Security Act provides for the reduction of disability insurance benefits
(DIB)when the combination of DIB and any workers' compensation
(WC)and/or certain Federal, State or local public disability benefits
(PDB)exceeds 80% of the worker's predisability earnings. Form SSA-546 is used to collect the data necessary to determine whether or not the worker's receipt of WC/PDB payments will cause a reduction of DIB.

(FOs)and Disability Determination Services
(DDSs)with medical information for determining disability of low birth weight infants. FOs use the forms as protective filing statements, and the medical information for making presumptive disability findings, which allow expedited payment to eligible claimants. DDSs use the medical information to formally determine disability and to establish the most appropriate continuing disability review diaries. The respondents are hospitals that have information identifying low birth weight babies and medical conditions those babies may have. We estimate it will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete the form. Below, we use the higher number for our public burden computation. *Type of Request:* New information collection. *Number of Respondents:* 24,000. *Frequency of Response:* 1. *Average Burden Per Response:* 15 minutes. *Estimated Annual Burden:* 6,000 hours. 8.

National Employment Activity and Disability Survey—0960-0666. *Background:* The Ticket to Work
(TTW)program was established by the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999. The program will provide eligible Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI)and SSI disability beneficiaries with a Ticket, which can be used to obtain vocational rehabilitation
(VR)or employment services through participating providers, called Employment Networks (ENs). The goal of the TTW program is to assist participants in returning to work at a level above the Substantial Gainful Activity
(SGA)level. The program is expected to increase beneficiary demand for employment-related services and activities. It is also expected to increase the number and diversity of providers in response to the less restrictive participation requirements and increased consumer demand for services. *The National Employment Activity and Disability Survey:* The National Employment Activity and Disability Survey will collect data on the work-related activities of SSI and SSDI beneficiaries as the TTW program, and other initiatives designed to improve beneficiary employment outcomes, are implemented. The TTW Survey is specifically designed to be a significant resource for the formal evaluation of TTW, but SSA anticipates that the survey will provide useful information for a variety of evaluation and policy analysis purposes, especially related to current efforts that attempt to improve return to work. The survey questionnaire focuses on information about beneficiaries and their work-related activities that cannot be obtained from SSA's administrative records. The survey will provide information about:
(1)Beneficiaries who assign their Tickets to ENs, and their experience in the program;
(2)beneficiaries who do not assign their Tickets, and the reasons why they do not, including involuntary non-participants;
(3)the employment outcomes of Ticket users and other beneficiaries; and
(4)the use of employment services by Ticket users and other beneficiaries. The respondents will be selected from SSI and SSDI disabled beneficiaries who meet the Ticket to Work program eligibility requirements. *Type of Request:* Extension of an OMB-approved information collection.
