SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

Table of Contents 

I. Introduction 

On February 18, 2010, the Postal 

Service filed a notice announcing that it 

has entered into an additional Global 

Expedited Package Services 2 (GEPS 2) 

contract.1 The Postal Service believes 

the instant contract is functionally 

equivalent to previously submitted 

GEPS 2 contracts, and is supported by 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, attached 

to the Notice and originally filed in 

Docket No. CP2008–4. Id. at 1, 

Attachment 2. The Notice also explains 

that Order No. 86, which established 

GEPS 1 as a product, also authorized 

functionally equivalent agreements to be 

included within the product, provided 

that they meet the requirements of 39 

U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 1. In Order No. 290, 

the Commission approved the GEPS 2 

product.2

The instant contract. The Postal 

Service filed the instant contract 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, 

the Postal Service contends that the 

contract is in accordance with Order No. 

86. The Postal Service submitted the 

contract and supporting materials under 

seal along with an application for nonpublic treatment as Attachment 1, and 

attached a redacted copy of the contract 

and a certified statement required by 39 

CFR 3015.5(c)(2) to the Notice as 

Attachments 3 and 4, respectively. Id. at 

1–2. The term of the contract is 1 year 

from the date the Postal Service notifies 

the customer that all necessary 

regulatory approvals have been 

received. 

The Notice advances reasons why the 

instant GEPS 2 contract fits within the 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for GEPS 2. The Postal Service contends 

that the instant contract is functionally 

equivalent to the GEPS 2 contracts filed 

previously, despite minor differences in 

both the general language and for 

customer-specific information, all of 

which are highlighted in the Notice. Id. 

at 3–7. 

The Postal Service contends that 

several factors demonstrate the 

contract’s functional equivalence with 

previous GEPS 2 contracts, including 

the general terms of the contract, the 

market to which it is being offered, and 

its cost characteristics. Id. at 3. The 

Postal Service concludes that because 

the ‘‘GEPS agreements incorporate the 

same cost attributes and methodology, 

the relevant cost and market 

characteristics are similar, if not the 

same...’’ despite any incidental 

differences. Id. at 6. 

The Postal Service contends that its 

filings demonstrate that this new GEPS 

2 contract is established in compliance 

with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, 

is functionally equivalent to previous 

GEPS 2 contracts, and requests that this 

contract be included within the GEPS 2 

product. Id. at 7.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request Copies Available

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for approval of extension of the 

existing collection of information 

provided for Rule 17Ad–16 (17 CFR 

240.17Ad–16) under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Rule 17Ad–16 requires a registered 

transfer agent to provide written notice 

to the appropriate qualified registered 

securities depository when assuming or 

terminating transfer agent services on 

behalf of an issuer or when changing its 

name or address. In addition, transfer 

agents that provide such notice shall 

maintain such notice for a period of at 

least two years in an easily accessible 

place. This rule addresses the problem 

of certificate transfer delays caused by 

transfer requests that are directed to the 

wrong transfer agent or the wrong 

address. 

We estimate that the transfer agent 

industry submits approximately 3,000 

Rule 17Ad–16 notices to appropriate 

qualified registered securities 

depositories. The staff estimates that the 

average amount of time necessary to 

create and submit each notice is 

approximately 15 minutes per notice. 

Accordingly, the estimated total 

industry burden is 750 hours per year 

(15 minutes multiplied by 3,000 notices 

filed annually). 

Because the information needed by 

transfer agents to properly notify the 

appropriate registered securities 

depository is readily available to them 

and the report is simple and 

straightforward, the cost is relatively 

minimal. The average cost to prepare 

and send a notice is approximately 

$7.50 (15 minutes at $30 per hour). This 

yields an industry-wide cost estimate of 

$22,500 (3,000 notices multiplied by 

$7.50 per notice). 

Please note that an agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. 

Comments should be directed to: Desk 

Officer for the Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10102, 

New Executive Office Building, 

Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an 

e-mail to: (i) 

Shagufta_Ahmed@comb.eop.gov; and 

(ii) Charles Boucher, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22312 or send an 

e-mail to PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Comments must be submitted to OMB 

within 30 days of this notice.

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. 

Rule 17a–5 (17 CFR 240.17a–5) is the 

basic financial reporting rule for brokers 

and dealers.1 The Rule requires the 

filing of Form X–17A–5 (17 CFR 

249.617), the Financial and Operational 

Combined Uniform Single Report 

(‘‘FOCUS Report’’), which was the result 

of years of study and comments by 

representatives of the securities industry 

through advisory committees and 

through the normal rule proposal 

methods. The FOCUS Report was 

designed to eliminate the overlapping 

regulatory reports required by various 

self-regulatory organizations and the 

Commission and to reduce reporting 

burdens as much as possible. The Rule 

also requires the filing of an annual 

audited report of financial statements. 

The FOCUS Report consists of: (1) 

Part I, which is a monthly report that 

must be filed by brokers or dealers that 

clear transactions or carry customer 

securities; (2) one of three alternative 

quarterly reports: Part II, which must be 

filed by brokers or dealers that clear 

transactions or carry customer 

securities; Part IIA, which must be filed 

by brokers or dealers that do not clear 

transactions or carry customer 

securities; and Part IIB, which must be 

filed by specialized broker-dealers 

registered with the Commission as OTC 

derivatives dealers; 2 (3) supplemental
