of the Plan. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

CBOE 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. Specifically, 

the Exchange believes the proposed 

changes will not impose any burden on 

intramarket competition because it 

applies to all TPHs equally. The 

Exchange does not believe the proposed 

changes will impose any burden on 

intermarket competition as the changes 

are merely being made to protect 

investors with the implementation of 

the Plan. In addition, the proposed 

changes will provide certainty of 

treatment and execution of options 

orders during periods of extraordinary 

market volatility. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange neither solicited nor 

received comments on the proposed 

rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 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 or disapprove 

such proposed rule change, or 

(B) Institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved.

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice and Request for 

Comments. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 

notice announces that the Information 

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below has been forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the nature of the information collection 

and their expected burden. The Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments on the 

following collection of information was 

published on December 31, 2012. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before April 15, 2013.

Robert Brogan, Office of Safety, 

Planning and Evaluation Division, RRS–

1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., Mail Stop 17, 

Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: (202)

are not toll-free.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Public Law 104–13, Section 2, 

109 Stat. 163 (1995) (codified as revised 

at 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its 

implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 

1320, require Federal agencies to issue 

two notices seeking public comment on 

information collection activities before 

OMB may approve paperwork packages. 

44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR 1320.5, 

1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On December 31, 

2012, FRA published a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register soliciting comment 

on the ICR for which the agency was 

seeking OMB approval. 77 FR 77181. 

FRA received no comments in response 

to this notice. 

Before OMB decides whether to 

approve a proposed collection of 

information, it must provide 30 days for 

public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5 

CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires 

OMB to approve or disapprove 

paperwork packages between 30 and 60 

days after the 30 day notice is 

published. 44 U.S.C. 3507 (b)–(c); 5 CFR 

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. OMB believes that the 30 

day notice informs the regulated 

community to file relevant comments 

and affords the agency adequate time to 

digest public comments before it 

renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug. 

29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should 

submit their respective comments to 

OMB within 30 days of publication to 

best ensure having their full effect. 5 

CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60 FR 44983, 

Aug. 29, 1995. 

The summary below describes the 

nature of the information collection 

request (ICR) and the expected burden, 

and is being submitted for clearance by 

OMB as required by the PRA. 

Title: Electronic Device Distraction 

(EDD) Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 2130–NEW. 

Type of Request: Regular approval of 

a new collection of information. 

Affected Public: Railroad Employees. 

Abstract: Operating railroad 

equipment while being distracted by the 

use of electronic devices (e.g., phones, 

game consoles, personal computers, 

etc.) is known to be a factor in some 

accidents and suspected of being the 

cause of many others in the railroad 

industry. It is also known that such use 

is dangerous, as evidenced by several 

high profile accidents in the railroad 

industry, and by research on distraction 

in other transportation modes. 

Consequently, the Department of 

Transportation (DOT) and the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) have a 

keen interest in devising counter 

measures to reduce the incidence of 

electronic device distraction (EDD) in 

the railroad industry. In order to devise 

effective countermeasures, FRA believes 

a survey of select rail employees would 

be extremely beneficial. Therefore, FRA 

proposes to sample railroad employees 

spread across the jobs of conductors, 

engineers, signalmen, maintenance of 

way, car repair personnel, machinists, 

and supervisors. The agency’s interest is 

shared by rail labor and management 

representatives, who are strongly 

supporting this survey and cooperating 

in its administration. All involved 

realize that effective counter measures 

to EDD must be based on a trustworthy 

understanding of the following: (1) Who 

is engaged in EDD, (2) under what 

circumstances they use these devices, 

(3) which devices are used, (4) reasons 

for use, and (5) frequency of use for each 

kind of device. Effective interventions 

cannot be designed, implemented, or 

evaluated without accurate information 

on these topics. The proposed survey is 

designed to provide this information, 

first as a baseline, and, in four
