IV. Commission’s Findings and Order 

Granting Accelerated Approval of 

Proposed Rule Change 

After careful consideration, the 

Commission finds that the Exchange’s 

proposal to retroactively apply the 

proposed rule change to February 8, 

2010 is consistent with the requirements 

of the Section 6 of the Act15 and the 

rules and regulations thereunder 

applicable to a national securities 

exchange.16 In particular, the 

Commission believes that the proposed 

rule change is consistent with Section 

6(b)(5) in particular, in that it is 

designed to prevent fraudulent and 

manipulative acts and practices, 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.17

Approving the proposed rule change, 

and making such approval retroactive to 

February 8, 2010, would ensure that the 

proposed rule changes are operative and 

effective at the same time as FINRA’s 

rule changes, that there are no 

regulatory gaps between the FINRA and 

NYSE Rules and that, as applicable, the 

NYSE Rules maintain their status as 

Common Rules under the 17d–2 

Agreement 

The Exchange has requested that the 

Commission find good cause for 

approving the proposed rule change 

prior to the thirtieth day after 

publication of the notice thereof in the 

Federal Register. The Commission 

believes that good cause exists for 

accelerated approval of the proposed 

rule change because it raises no novel 

issues and is consistent with the FINRA 

rule filings previously approved by or 

filed with the Commission on which it 

is based.18 Except as has been 

specifically noted and subject to a 

number of technical changes necessary 

to apply the Rules to the Exchange, the 

proposed rule changes will conform 

certain NYSE Rules and Rule 

Interpretations to FINRA’s amendments 

to corresponding FINRA Incorporated 

NYSE Rules and Rule Interpretations 

and FINRA’s adoption of consolidated 

FINRA Rules 4110, 4120, 4130, 4140 

and 4521 in furtherance of the 

consolidation of the member firm 

regulation functions of NYSER and 

FINRA. Accordingly, the Commission 

finds good cause, pursuant to Section 

19(b)(2) of the Act,19 for approving the 

proposed rule change prior to the 

thirtieth day after publication of the 

notice thereof in the Federal Register. 

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,20 that the 

proposed rule change, (SR–NYSE–2010– 

10), is hereby approved on an 

accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.21

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: National Survey of Speeding 

Attitudes and Behavior: 2010. 

Type of Request: New information 

collection requirement. 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Notices 9475 

Abstract: Data from previous studies 

by the National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) has shown 

that 31 percent of all fatal crashes are 

directly traceable to excessive speed. In 

2008, 11,674 people died in excessive 

speed-related crashes. The cost of these 

crashes is approximately 40 billion 

dollars per year. Surveys of drivers’ 

attitudes toward speeding have 

demonstrated a strong correlation 

between drivers’ attitudes towards 

speeding and other driving behaviors 

and actual traffic outcomes. Models 

based on self-reported measures of 

intentions and attitudes are used to 

predict traffic behaviors and design 

interventions to reduce speeding and 

other hazardous traffic actions. Some of 

these models stress the importance of 

attitude, habits and the interaction of 

habit with intention. 

NHTSA proposes to conduct a 2010 

National Survey of Speeding Attitudes 

and Behavior by telephone among a 

sample of 6,000 adults (age 16 and 

older). NHTSA’s information needs 

require a telephone survey of a national 

probability sample of drivers in the 

United States that will provide insight 

into why drivers speed and which 

methods of enforcement would 

discourage them from speeding. The 

questionnaire will contain items on the 

extent to which drivers speed, 

demographic and typological 

descriptions of speeders, locations and 

times when speeding is most frequent, 

attitudes and perceptions about 

speeding, reasons and motivations for 

speeding, knowledge of measures to 

deter speeding, attitudes towards 

measures to deter speeding, and 

correlates of speeding behavior. In 

conducting the proposed survey, the 

interviewers would use computerassisted telephone interviewing to 

reduce interview length and minimize 

recording errors. A Spanish-language 

translation and bilingual interviewers 

would be used to minimize language 

barriers to participation. The proposed 

survey is the third in the series, which 

began in 1997. The 2010 survey will 

repeat many questions from previous 

surveys in order to monitor changes 

over time, and will also include new 

questions on emerging speed-related 

technologies. 

Affected Public: Randomly selected 

members of the general public age 16 

and older, including those in landline 

telephone households as well as those 

who primarily or exclusive use a 

cellular phone. Participation by all 

respondents would be voluntary and 

anonymous. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,005 hours (15 pretest interviews 

averaging 20 minutes per interview, 

followed by 6,000 interviews 

administered to the final survey sample 

averaging 20 minutes per interview). 

Comments Are Invited on the Following 

(i) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

information collection; 

(iii) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(iv) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. Section 3506(c)(2)(A).
