ACTION: Notice of availability of Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act

(FCP)operated by the USIBWC along the Texas-Mexico Border: the Rectification FCP, the Presidio FCP and Lower Rio Grande FCP. The PEIS, prepared in cooperation with the United States Bureau of Reclamation, United States Fish and Wildlife Service and United States Army Corps of Engineers, analyzes potential impacts of the No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for future FCP improvements under consideration. Because several measures under consideration are at a conceptual level of development, the USIBWC has taken a broad programmatic look at the potential environmental implications of measures identified for future implementation. The USIBWC will apply the programmatic evaluation as an overall guidance for future environmental evaluations of individual improvement projects whose implementation is anticipated or possible within a 20-year timeframe. Once any given improvement project is identified for future implementation, site-specific environmental documentation will be developed based on project specifications and PEIS findings. Public participation in the evaluation of potential effects is encouraged. Public hearings will be held at the Cities of El Paso, Presidio and McAllen, Texas, to receive oral comments on the Draft PEIS from interested organizations and individuals through transcription by a certified court reporter. Written comments may be submitted at the public hearings, or mailed to the USIBWC during the 45-day public review period to the contact and address below. DATES: Written comments are requested by September 24, 2007, which is calculated from the anticipated date of the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA)Notice of Availability of August 10, 2007. Public hearings will be held at the following locations and dates:

(1)El Paso, Texas on August 21, 2007, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. MST at the USIBWC Offices, 4171 N. Mesa, C-100, El Paso, Texas 79902;

A copy of the Draft PEIS will also be posted at the USIBWC Web site at *http://www.ibwc.state.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft PEIS analyzes potential effects of the No Action Alternative and three action alternatives for future improvement of the Rectification, Presidio and Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Projects. Potential improvements were organized in three action alternatives:

(1)Enhanced Operation and Maintenance Alternative, focusing on engineering improvements;

(2)Integrated Water Resources Management Alternative, integrating additional water conservation and quality measures to the projects' core mission of flood control and water delivery; and

(3)Multipurpose Project Management Alternative, incorporating additional measures for multiple use of the floodway and environmental measures supporting initiatives by federal agencies, local governments, and other organizations, to be conducted largely under cooperative agreements. The Draft PEIS evaluated three action alternatives for each flood control project in terms of potential effects relative to those of the No Action Alternative, in the areas of water, biological, cultural and socioeconomic resources, land use, and environmental health issues. A copy of the Draft PEIS has been filed with EPA in accordance with 40 CFR parts 1500-1508 and USIBWC procedures. The public comment period of the Draft PEIS will end 45 days after publication of the NOA in the **Federal Register** by EPA. Dated: July 30, 2007. Susan Daniel, General Counsel. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice of availability of Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA)of 1969, as amended, the United States Section, International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) has prepared a Draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (Draft PEIS) for future improvements to the Tijuana River Flood Control Project operated by the USIBWC in southern San Diego County. The Draft PEIS, prepared in cooperation with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, analyzes potential effects of the No Action Alternative and two action alternatives for future improvements. Because several measures under consideration are at a conceptual level of development, the USIBWC has taken a broad programmatic look at the potential environmental implications of future implementation measures. The USIBWC will apply the programmatic evaluation as an overall guidance for future environmental evaluations of individual improvement projects whose implementation is anticipated or possible within a 20-year timeframe. Once any given improvement project is identified for future implementation, site-specific environmental documentation will be developed based on project specifications and PEIS findings. Public participation in the evaluation of potential effect is encouraged. A public hearing will be held at the City of Imperial Beach, California, to receive oral comments on the Draft PEIS from interested organizations and individuals through transcription by a certified court reporter. Written comments may be submitted at the public hearings or mailed to the USIBWC during the 45-day public review period to the contact and address below.

Street, San Diego, CA 92101. A copy of the Draft PEIS will also be posted at the USIBWC Web site at *http://www.ibwc.state.gov* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft PEIS analyzes potential effects of the No Action Alternative and two action alternatives for future improvement of the Tijuana River FCP. Potential future improvements to the Tijuana River Flood Control Project were organized in two action alternatives, Enhanced Operation and Maintenance Alternative, focusing on engineering improvements; and Multipurpose Project Management Alternative, incorporating additional measures for multiple use of the floodway and environmental measures supporting initiatives by federal agencies, local governments, and other organizations; these initiatives would be conducted largely under cooperative agreements. The two action alternatives were evaluated in terms of their potential effects relative to those of the No Action Alternative, in the areas of water, biological, cultural and socioeconomic resources, land use, and environmental health issues.

ACTION: Notice of termination of proceedings. SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is announcing the termination of the proceedings in the above-captioned dockets conducted under the former Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel system. The Office is also providing notice that the authority to set rates or to make determinations regarding the future distribution of royalty funds associated with these proceedings will be transferred to the Copyright Royalty Board.

(202)252-3423. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 30, 2004, the President signed into law the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004 (the “CRDRA”), Pub. L. 108-419, No. 118 Stat. 2341. This Act, which became effective on May 31, 2005, phases out the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (“CARP”) system and replaces it with three permanent Copyright Royalty Judges (“CRJs”). Additionally, CRDRA allows for the termination of “any [CARP] proceeding commenced by the date of the enactment of this Act...and any proceeding so terminated shall become null and void. In such cases, the Copyright Royalty Judges may initiate a new proceeding in accordance with regulations adopted pursuant to section 803(b)(6) of title 17, United States Code.” Section 6(b)(1) of the Copyright Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004, Pub. L. No. 108-419. The Copyright Office is announcing the termination of all open proceedings under this provision. *Cable Royalties.* The cable statutory license, first enacted through the Copyright Act of 1976, and codified at Section 111 of the Act, provides cable systems with a statutory license to retransmit a performance or display of a work embodied in a primary transmission made by a television or radio station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). Cable systems that retransmit broadcast signals in accordance with the provisions governing the statutory license set forth in Section 111 are required to pay royalty fees to the Copyright Office. Payments made under the cable statutory license are remitted semi-annually to the Copyright Office which invests the royalties in United States Treasury securities pending distribution of these funds to those copyright owners who are entitled to receive a share of the fees. We terminate Docket Nos. 2001-8 CARP CD 98-99, 2002-8 CARP CD 2000, 2003-2 CARP CD 2001, and 2004-5 CARP CD-2002, the four Section 111 CARP proceedings that have remained open. We note that there has been a controversy regarding the participation of the Independent Producers Group (“IPG”) in the distribution of the 1998-2002 cable royalty funds. In past Orders, the Office has found that IPG has repeatedly failed to comply with the rules governing the CARP process, especially with regard to service of filings on other parties. Consequently, the Office did not accept its responses to its September 2005 Orders when making its determination with respect to a further partial distribution. *See, e.g.,* Distribution of the 1998-2002 Cable Royalty Funds, Order (rel. Apr. 3, 2007). In response to this order, IPG asked the Office to clarify that it remains a party to the proceedings in which it has an interest. (Letter from James Sun, Pick & Boydston, LLP, dated April 11, 2007.) The question, however, is moot. Termination of these proceedings brings an end to all outstanding controversies before the Office and vests authority in the CRJs to initiate a new proceeding in accordance with their rules to consider the disposition of the remaining royalty fees that have not yet been distributed. *Satellite Royalties.* The satellite carrier statutory license, first enacted through the Satellite Home Viewer Act (“SHVA”) of 1988, and codified in Section 119 of the Act, establishes a statutory copyright licensing scheme for satellite carriers that retransmit the signals of distant television network stations and superstations to satellite dish owners for their private home viewing and for viewing in commercial establishments. Satellite carriers may use the Section 119 license to retransmit the signals of superstations to subscribers located anywhere in the United States. However, the Section 119 statutory license limits the secondary transmissions of network station signals to no more than two such stations in a single day to persons who reside in unserved households. Each year satellite carriers submit royalties to the Copyright Office under the section 119 statutory license for the retransmission to their subscribers of superstations and network stations to unserved households. 17 U.S.C. 119. These royalties, in turn, have been distributed in one of two ways to copyright owners whose works were included in a retransmission of an over-the-air television broadcast signal and who timely filed a claim for royalties with the Copyright Office. The copyright owners may either have negotiated the terms of a settlement as to the division of the royalty funds, or a CARP was convened to conduct a proceeding to determine the distribution of the royalties that remain in controversy. We terminate Docket Nos. 2001-5 CARP SD 99 and 2001-7 CARP SD 2000, the two Section 119 CARP proceedings that have remained open. Henceforth, resolution of the controversies concerning the distribution of the remaining funds shall be considered by the CRJs. *Section 115 Royalties.* The Digital Performance Right In Sound Recording Act of 1995 (“DPRA”), Pub. L. No. 104-39, 109 Stat. 336, clarified the scope of the compulsory license to make and distribute phonorecords of nondramatic musical compositions, including the right to distribute or authorize distribution by means of a digital transmission which constitutes a “digital phonorecord delivery.’” 17 U.S.C. 115(c)(3)(A). The DPRA established that the rate for all DPDs made or authorized under a compulsory license on or before December 31, 1997, was the same as the rate in effect for the making and distribution of physical phonorecords for that period. 17 U.S.C. 115(c)(3)(A)(i). For DPDs made or authorized after December 31, 1997, the DPRA established a two-tier process for determining the terms and rates: either the copyright owners of nondramatic musical works and those persons entitled to obtain a license may have negotiated the rates and terms for the statutory license, or they may have participated in a CARP proceeding. 17 U.S.C. 115(c)(3)(A)-(D). Such rates and terms, whether negotiated by the parties or determined by a CARP, were to distinguish between “digital phonorecord deliveries where the reproduction or distribution of a phonorecord is incidental to the transmission which constitutes the digital phonorecord delivery, and

(ii)digital phonorecord deliveries in general.” 17 U.S.C. 115(c)(2)(C)-(D).

The Proposed Action is to continue preparations for and to implement the Constellation Program. The focus of the Constellation Program is the development of the flight systems and Earth-based ground infrastructure required to enable the United States to have continued access to space and to enable future human missions to the International Space Station, the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The Constellation Program also would be responsible for developing and testing flight hardware, and performing mission operations once the infrastructure is sufficiently developed. The only alternative to the Proposed Action discussed in detail is the No Action Alternative where NASA would not continue preparations for nor implement the Constellation Program and therefore, would forego the opportunity for human exploration of space using U.S. space vehicles. DATES: Interested parties are invited to submit comments on environmental issues and concerns, preferably in writing, on or before September 30, 2007, or 45 days from the date of publication in the **Federal Register** of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's notice of availability of the Draft Constellation PEIS, whichever is later. ADDRESSES: Comments submitted by mail should be addressed to ZA/Environmental Manager, Constellation Program, NASA Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, Texas 77058. Comments may be submitted via electronic mail to *nasa-cxeis@mail.nasa.gov.* Comments also may be submitted via telephone at (toll free) 1-866-662-7243.

Information specific to the Constellation Program NEPA process may be found at *http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/exploration/main/eis.html* . SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft Constellation PEIS addresses the environmental impacts associated with continuing preparations for and implementing the Constellation Program. The Constellation Program would build a new crew vehicle called the Orion and two new launch vehicles, Ares I to transport crew and Ares V to transport cargo (for lunar or Mars missions). The environmental impacts of principal concern are those that would result from fabrication, testing, and launching of the Orion spacecraft and the Ares I and Ares V launch vehicles. The Constellation Program would be an extremely large and complex program spanning decades and requiring the efforts of a broad spectrum of talent located throughout NASA and many commercial entities. Under NASA's Proposed Action, Constellation Program activities would be expected to occur at the following NASA sites: —John F. Kennedy Space Center, Brevard County, Florida —John C. Stennis Space Center, Hancock County, Mississippi —Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans, Louisiana —Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas —George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama —John H. Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio —Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California —Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia —Johnson Space Center White Sands Test Facility (and the U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range), Las Cruces, New Mexico —Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, California —Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland —Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. Activities associated with the Constellation Program also would occur at two Alliant Techsystems-Launch Systems Group locations in Promontory and Clearfield, Utah and at various other commercial facilities throughout the United States. Organizationally, the Constellation Program would consist of a single Program Office at NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center which would have overall responsibility for management of the Constellation Program, and multiple Project Offices including Project Orion, Project Ares, the Ground Operations Project, the Mission Operations Project, the Lunar Lander Project, and the Extravehicular Activities Systems Project. Each Project Office would focus on specific technology and systems development and operational capabilities for the Constellation Program. As additional mission requirements are developed, additional Project Offices would be established with the responsibility to develop the systems to meet such requirements ( *e.g.* , Lunar Surface Systems and Mars Surface Systems). Collectively, these Project Offices would develop the mission systems ( *i.e.* , crew vehicles, launch vehicles, and mission hardware) and the infrastructure needed to support crewed missions to the International Space Station and human exploration of the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Public comments on environmental issues and concerns associated with the Proposed Action are hereby requested. Olga M. Dominguez, Assistant Administrator for Infrastructure and Administration.

This notice advises the public that the NRC intends to gather the information necessary to prepare a plant-specific supplement to the Commission's “Generic Environmental Impact Statement

(GEIS)for License Renewal of Nuclear Plants” (NUREG-1437), related to the review of the application for renewal of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 operating licenses for an additional 20 years. Possible alternatives to the proposed action (license renewal) include no action and reasonable alternative energy sources. The NRC is required by 10 CFR 51.95 to prepare a supplement to the GEIS in connection with the renewal of an operating license. This notice is being published in accordance with NEPA and the NRC's regulations found in 10 CFR Part 51. The NRC will first conduct a scoping process for the supplement to the GEIS and, as soon as practicable thereafter, will prepare a draft supplement to the GEIS for public comment. Participation in the scoping process by members of the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal government agencies is encouraged. The scoping process for the supplement to the GEIS will be used to accomplish the following: a. Define the proposed action which is to be the subject of the supplement to the GEIS. b. Determine the scope of the supplement to the GEIS and identify the significant issues to be analyzed in depth. c. Identify and eliminate from detailed study those issues that are peripheral or that are not significant. d. Identify any environmental assessments and other EISs that are being or will be prepared that are related to, but are not part of, the scope of the supplement to the GEIS being considered. e. Identify other environmental review and consultation requirements related to the proposed action. f. Indicate the relationship between the timing of the preparation of the environmental analyses and the Commission's tentative planning and decision-making schedule. g. Identify any cooperating agencies and, as appropriate, allocate assignments for preparation and schedules for completing the supplement to the GEIS to the NRC and any cooperating agencies. h. Describe how the supplement to the GEIS will be prepared, and include any contractor assistance to be used. The NRC invites the following entities to participate in scoping: a. The applicant, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. b. Any Federal agency that has jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to any environmental impact involved, or that is authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards. c. Affected State and local government agencies, including those authorized to develop and enforce relevant environmental standards. d. Any affected Indian tribe. e. Any person who requests or has requested an opportunity to participate in the scoping process. f. Any person who has petitioned or intends to petition for leave to intervene. In accordance with 10 CFR 51.26, the scoping process for an EIS may include a public scoping meeting to help identify significant issues related to a proposed activity and to determine the scope of issues to be addressed in an EIS. The NRC has decided to hold public scoping meetings for the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 license renewal supplement to the GEIS. The scoping meetings will be held at the Colonial Terrace, 119 Oregon Road, Cortlandt Manor, New York, on Wednesday, September 19, 2007. There will be two sessions to accommodate interested parties. The first session will convene at 1:30 p.m. and will continue until 4:30 p.m., as necessary. The second session will convene at 7 p.m. with a repeat of the overview portions of the meeting and will continue until 10 p.m., as necessary. Both meetings will be transcribed and will include:

(1)An overview by the NRC staff of the NEPA environmental review process, the proposed scope of the supplement to the GEIS, and the proposed review schedule; and

(2)the opportunity for interested government agencies, organizations, and individuals to submit comments or suggestions on the environmental issues or the proposed scope of the supplement to the GEIS. Additionally, the NRC staff will host informal discussions one hour before the start of each session at the Colonial Terrace in Cortlandt Manor. No formal comments on the proposed scope of the supplement to the GEIS will be accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments must be provided either at the transcribed public meetings or in writing, as discussed below.

(ii)provide an end-of-day exception from real-time transaction reporting for trade reports containing the M2c0 or M9c0 special condition indicator; and

(iii)create two new special condition indicators for purposes of reporting certain inter-dealer transactions “late.” A full description of the proposal is contained in the Commission's Notice. The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the MSRB 4 and, in particular, the requirements of Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act 5 and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act requires, among other things, that the MSRB's rules be 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 municipal securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market in municipal securities, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest. 6 In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act because it will allow the municipal securities industry to produce more accurate trade reporting and transparency and will enhance surveillance data used by enforcement agencies. The proposal will be effective January 2, 2008, as requested by the MSRB. 4 In approving this rule the Commission notes that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 5 15 U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2)(C). 6 *Id.* It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, 7 that the proposed rule change (SR-MSRB-2007-01) be, and it hereby is, approved. 7 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 8 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

I. Introduction On May 23, 2007, the New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE” or “Exchange”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) 1 and Rule 19b-4 thereunder, 2 a proposed rule change amending NYSE Rule 600 and proposing new NYSE Rule 600A. On June 4, 2007, the Commission published for comment the proposed rule change in the **Federal Register** . 3 The Commission received one comment on the proposal. 4 On June 21, 2007, the NYSE filed Amendment No. 1 to revise the proposed rule change. 5 On July 11, 2007, the Commission published for comment the proposed rule change, as amended, in the **Federal Register** . 6 The Commission received no comments on the proposed rule change, as amended. This order approves the proposed rule change, as amended, on an accelerated basis. 1 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). 2 17 CFR 240.19b-4. 3 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55818 (May 25, 2007), 72 FR 30898 (June 4, 2007). 4 *See* letter from Jill Gross and Nathan Perrone, Pace Investor Rights Project, dated June 25, 2007 (“Pace”). 5 Amendment No. 1 replaced and superseded the original filing in its entirety. 6 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56015 (July 5, 2007), 72 FR 37891 (July 11, 2007). II. Description of the Proposal NYSE proposes to amend current Rule 600 and adopt a new Rule 600A. The purpose of the proposed rule change is to provide guidance regarding both new and pending arbitration claims in light of the consolidation of the member firm regulation function of NYSE Regulation, Inc. (“NYSE Regulation”) with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”). 7 On July 30, 2007, 8 NYSE Regulation ceased to provide an arbitration program, and its arbitration department (“NYSE Arbitration”) was consolidated with that of NASD Dispute Resolution, Inc. (“NASD DR”). 9 Because the consolidation has already occurred, the effective date of this rule change will be when the Commission approves this proposed rule change (SR-NYSE-2007-48) (“Effective Date”). As a result, on and after July 30, 2007, all arbitration claims filed prior to the Effective Date, and previously subject to NYSE Regulation rules and administration, will be administered by NASD DR pursuant to a Regulatory Services Agreement with the NYSE. 7 On July 26, 2007, the Commission approved a proposed rule change filed by NASD to amend NASD's Certificate of Incorporation to reflect its name change to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc., or FINRA, in connection with the consolidation of the member firm regulatory functions of NASD and NYSE Regulation. *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56146 (July 26, 2007), 72 FR 42190 (Aug. 1, 2007) (SR-NASD-2007-053). 8 The consolidation of the member firm regulatory functions did not occur until July 30, 2007, when definitive agreements were signed by the NYSE and NASD. *Id.* 9 NASD DR is now doing business as FINRA DR. NASD DR now administers NYSE Arbitration, which is governed by NYSE Regulation Rules 600 through 639. NASD DR also administers an arbitration program for NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) and NYSE Arca Equities, Inc. (“NYSE Arca Equities”), respectively governed by NYSE Arca and NYSE Arca Equities Rule 12. The proposed amendments provide that NYSE Arbitration Rules 600 through 639, and Rule 347, will only apply to NYSE arbitration cases pending prior to the Effective Date, and that, thereafter, disputes between NYSE member organizations, associated persons, and/or their customers will be arbitrated under the NASD DR Codes of Arbitration Procedure. The rules governing the administration of any particular arbitration will depend on the date the case was filed. This will ensure that any person that filed an arbitration under a particular set of arbitration rules will continue to have the case administered pursuant to those rules through to the case's conclusion. There are two categories of cases. First, NYSE arbitration cases filed before the Effective Date will continue to be governed by existing NYSE Regulation arbitration rules, as will pending NYSE Arca and NYSE Arca Equities cases filed on or after February 1, 2007. 10 Second, those NYSE Arca and NYSE Arca Equities cases filed on or prior to January 31, 2007 are (and will continue to be) governed by Rule 12. 11 10 *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55142 (January 19, 2007), 72 FR 3898 (January 26, 2007) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-54) and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55141 (January 19, 2007), 72 FR 3897 (January 26, 2007) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-55). 11 The Commission also is considering rule filings that would consolidate the NYSE Arca arbitration program into NASD DR. *See* Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56071 (July 13, 2007), 72 FR 40184 (July 23, 2007) (SR-NYSEArca-2007-59); and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56070 (July 13, 2007), 72 FR 40188 (July 23, 2007) (SR-NYSEArca-2007-60). Proposed Exchange Rule 600A(a) provides detailed guidance concerning claims involving member organizations and/or associated persons that are asserted on and after the Effective Date. First, any dispute, claim or controversy between or among member organizations and/or associated persons shall be arbitrated pursuant to the NASD DR Codes of Arbitration Procedure. Second, any dispute, claim or controversy between a customer or a non-member and a member organization and/or associated person arising in connection with the business of such member organization and/or in connection with the activities of an associated person shall be arbitrated pursuant to NASD DR Codes of Arbitration Procedure as provided by any duly executed and enforceable written agreement, or upon the demand of the customer or non-member. This obligation to arbitrate shall extend only to those matters that are permitted to be arbitrated under NASD DR Codes of Arbitration Procedure. In almost all cases the change from NYSE to NASD DR arbitration rules should not result in material, substantive differences to persons participating in the arbitration process. However, one difference is the treatment of employment discrimination claims. NASD DR rules provide that any claim alleging employment discrimination, including any sexual harassment claims, in violation of a statute, will be eligible for arbitration pursuant to either a pre-dispute or a post-dispute agreement to arbitrate. In contrast, Exchange Rule 600(f) and Exchange Rule 347(b) permit claims to be arbitrated only when the parties have agreed to arbitrate the claim after it has arisen. Rule 347(a) provides that a controversy between a registered representative and a member organization “arising out of the employment or termination of employment of such registered representative” shall be arbitrated at the request of any party. These employment claims will continue to be covered by NASD DR Rule 13200(a), which requires the arbitration of disputes arising out of the “business activities” of a member or an associated person and is between or among members, members and associated persons, or associated persons. Accordingly, Rule 600 will be amended to provide that Rule 347 will apply only to claims filed before the Effective Date. Proposed Rule 600A(b) will explicitly retain the Exchange's enforcement authority related to arbitration. Proposed Rule 600A(c) also will retain the substance of current Exchange Rule 637, regarding the obligation to honor arbitration awards and will specify that failure to submit a matter to arbitration as required by Rule 600A will subject the member organization to Exchange disciplinary action. Finally, proposed Rule 600A(d) will specify that the submission of any matter to arbitration as provided for under the Rule will in no way limit or preclude any right, action or determination by the Exchange that it would otherwise be authorized to adopt, administer or enforce. III. Summary of Comment Received The Commission received one comment on the proposal. 12 The commenter supported the proposed rule change because it would reduce confusion for investors. The commenter also noted that the regulatory consolidation is beneficial for investors with claims up to $50,000 because existing NASD rules provide greater investor choice and lower forum costs than the NYSE. 13 12 Pace. 13 *Id.* The commenter also urged NASD to adopt a rule, similar to a pending NYSE rule, that would permit one arbitrator to hear claims up to $200,000, instead of $50,000 under existing NASD rules. 14 As this additional point related to matters not covered by the proposed rule change, it is beyond the scope of the proposed rule change. 14 *Id* . IV. Discussion and Commission Findings After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of section 6(b)(5) 15 of the Act, which requires, among other things, that the rules of an Exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors and the public interest. The Commission believes that the proposed rule change will streamline the arbitration process and provide for a unified and more efficient arbitration forum with one set of arbitration rules and administrative procedures. This will allow resources to be devoted to maintaining and improving the NASD DR program, rather than splitting resources between two mainly duplicative programs. The Commission also believes the proposed rule change will provide for a clear and orderly transition. As a result, the proposed rule change will better protect investors and the public interest. 16 15 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). 16 In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition and capital formation. *See* 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). The Commission finds good cause to approve the proposed rule change, as amended, prior to the thirtieth day after the proposal was published for comment in the **Federal Register** . This approval allows the proposed rule change to take effect without delay. Because the proposed rule change will provide for a clear and orderly transition from NYSE Arbitration to NASD DR, accelerated approval is necessary to provide clarity to investors regarding the appropriate forums for pending and future arbitration claims. In light of the recent consolidation, accelerated approval of the proposed rule change also will allow NASD DR and NYSE Regulation to ensure that their arbitration programs are fully consolidated in a timely and efficient manner, without any further delay or uncertainty. For these reasons, the Commission finds good cause, consistent with section 19(b)(2) of the Act, to grant accelerated approval to the proposed rule change. V. Conclusion *It is therefore ordered,* pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act 17 that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1 (SR-NYSE-2007-48), be, and hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis. 17 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

For the year and a half following that date, we have communicated with multiple businesses interested in this collection and have significantly altered our business process plan based on their comments. Background The Social Security Administration

(SSA)has provided limited fee based Social Security Number

(SSN)verification service to private businesses and other requesters that obtain a valid, signed consent form from the Social Security Number Holder. Based on the consent forms, SSA verifies the Number Holders' SSNs for the requesting party. The Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), section 1106 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1306, and SSA regulation at 20 CFR 401.100 establish the legal authority for SSA to provide SSN verifications to third party requesters based on consent. Currently, the consent-based SSN verification service for high volume requesters is a paper-driven, labor-intensive process. In recent years, the demand for SSN verification has grown within the business community. As a result, SSA is developing an Agency strategy to perform fee based SSN verifications with consent in a high volume, centralized process. The Consent Based Social Security Number Verification

(CBSV)process is the first phase of the Agency's long term strategy to provide the business community with fee based disclosures with consent in high volume. SSA is developing CBSV as a user-friendly, Internet-based application with safeguards that will protect the public's information. In addition to the benefit of providing high volume, centralized SSN verification services to the business community in a secure manner, CBSV also will provide the Agency with inherent cost and workload management benefits. SSA is in the planning stage of developing the Agency's second phase of the fee-based web service system which would provide private industry and other third party requesters with disability and retirement data (including insured status information, dates of entitlement, and benefit amounts). This process, the Consent Based Benefit Information System (CBBI), would assist private insurance or pension benefit companies to determine private entitlements and coordinate entitlement to such benefits. These actions help the requesters to reduce and/or eliminate the overpayment of these benefits to their insured clients. Similar to the CBSV process, companies would be required to enter into a legal agreement with SSA, obtain written consent from the record holder, reimburse SSA, and follow SSA's established systems security and audit guidelines. The CBSV Collection The CBSV is a fee-based automated SSN verification service that can be used by private businesses and other requesting parties who register with SSA to use the system and have obtained valid consent from Number Holders. The purpose of the information collection is to verify for the requesting party that the submitted name and SSN match or do not match the information contained in the SSA records. After completing a registration process and paying the fee, the requesting party can submit a file through the CBSV Internet application containing names of Number Holders who have given valid consent, along with each Number Holder's accompanying SSN and date of birth (if available) or obtain real-time results using a web service application or SSA's Business Services Online

(BSO)application. The Agency matches the information against SSA's Master File of Social Security Numbers, using SSN, name, date of birth and gender code (if available). If batch mode was used, the requesting party retrieves the results file from SSA; the results file indicates a match or no match for each SSN submitted. Under the CBSV process, the requesting party does not submit the consent forms to SSA. SSA will require each requesting party to retain a valid consent form for each SSN verification request for a period of seven years. The requesting party is permitted to retain the consent forms in either electronic or paper format. To ensure the integrity of the CBSV Process, SSA has added a strong audit component that requires audits (called “compliance reviews”) at the discretion of the agency with all audit costs to be borne by the requesting party. These reviews will be conducted by independent certified public accountants

(CPAs)to ensure compliance with all the terms and conditions of the parties' agreement with SSA, including a review of the consent forms. This review is performed at the requesting party's place of business to ensure the integrity of the process. In addition, SSA reserves the right to perform unannounced onsite inspections of the entire process including review of the technical systems which maintain the data and transaction records at the requesting party's place of business. The respondents to the CBSV collection are the participating companies, members of the public who consent to the SSN verification, and CPAs who provide compliance review services. *Type of Request:* New information collection.

Cost Burden The public burden cost is dependent upon the number of companies and transactions. The first year cost estimates below are based upon 90 participating companies submitting a total of 10 million transactions. The total cost for developing the system is $5.6 million. $2.6 million will be required prior to development of the system. The $3.0 million that SSA has already expended will be recouped over the depreciable life of the system based on the fee per transaction model. • One-Time Per Company Registration Fee—$5,000 • Estimated Per SSN Transaction Fee—$0.27 1 1 The annual costs associated with the transactions to each company are dependent upon the number of SSN transactions submitted to SSA by the company on a yearly basis. For example, if a company anticipates submitting 1 million requests to SSA for the year, their total transaction cost for the year would be $0.27 × 1,000,000 or $270,000. Periodically, SSA will calculate its costs to provide CBSV services and adjust the fee charged as needed. Companies will be notified in writing of any change and will have the opportunity to cancel the agreement or continue service using the new transaction fee. • Estimated Per Company Cost To Build Web Service—$200,000 2 2 A company may choose to submit batch files via the SSA Web site or submit real-time individual requests via the SSA Web site. There is no public burden cost with either of these methods of using the CBSV system. • Estimated Per Company Cost To Store Consent Forms—$20,000 • Estimated Per Company Cost To Contract With CPA for Audit—$8,000 SSA will hold an “open enrollment” season. If more than the estimated number of companies enrolls, the estimated per SSN transaction fee cited above could be less. 2. *Medicare Quality Review Forms—20 CFR 418(b)(5)—0960-0707.* The Social Security Administration

(SSA)uses the Medicare Quality Review Forms collection to verify the information reported on Medicare Part D Subsidy applications (OMB No. 0960-0696) for a selected number of applicants. SSA is planning to expand the scope of this collection by conducting Quality Reviews with some current recipients of Medicare Part D subsidies who have recently undergone the redetermination process (OMB No. 0960-0723). This ICR is for two new appointment letters (forms SSA-9313 and SSA-9314) that such beneficiaries will complete to schedule an appointment for their Quality Review. The respondents are current recipients of Medicare Part D subsidies who have recently undergone a redetermination and who were selected for a Quality Review. *Type of Request:* Revision to an existing OMB-approved information collection.
