BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY 

CORPORATION 

Submission of Information Collection 

for OMB Review; Comment Request; 

Missing Participants 

AGENCY: Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice of request for extension 

of OMB approval of an information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: The Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation (PBGC) is requesting that 

the Office of Management and Budget 

extend approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of a collection of 

information under PBGC’s regulation on 

Missing Participants. PBGC needs the 

information submitted by plans under 

this collection to search for missing 

participants and beneficiaries and pay 

their benefits. This notice informs the 

public of PBGC’s request and solicits 

public comment on the collection of 

information. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before November 20, 2023 to be 

assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. All comments received 

will be posted without change to 

PBGC’s website, http://www.pbgc.gov, 

including any personal information 

provided. Do not submit comments that 

include any personally identifiable 

information or confidential business 

information. 

A copy of the request will be posted 

on PBGC’s website at https://

www.pbgc.gov/prac/laws-andregulation/federal-register-notices-openfor-comment. It may also be obtained

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

process of closing out a terminated 

pension plan or other retirement plan 

involves the disposition of plan assets to 

satisfy the benefits of plan participants 

and beneficiaries. One difficulty faced 

by plan administrators in closing out 

terminated plans is how to provide for 

the benefits of missing persons. Section 

4050 of ERISA and 29 CFR part 4050 

establishes a program under which the 

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation 

(PBGC) holds the retirement benefits for 

missing participants and beneficiaries in 

terminated plans and seeks to reunite 

those participants and beneficiaries 

with the benefits being held for them. 

The program is applicable to certain 

defined benefit (DB) pension plans 

covered by PBGC’s single-employer or 

multiemployer insurance programs, and 

to defined contribution (DC) plans and 

small professional service DB plans not 

covered by PBGC’s insurance programs. 

The Missing Participant Program 

(MPP) for each of the four types of plans 

follows the same basic design. The most 

prominent difference among them lies 

in the mandatory or voluntary nature of 

the program. For plans covered by the 

title IV insurance programs, 

participation in the MPP is mandatory. 

For plans not covered by the title IV 

insurance programs, PBGC’s regulation 

permits, but does not require, such 

plans to participate in the MPP. 

PBGC needs information from plans 

that participate in the MPP, to identify 

the plans and their missing participants

076) [sic]. On October 4, 2023, the Exchange 

withdrew that filing and submitted this proposal.

and beneficiaries, to search for missing 

participants and beneficiaries, to 

determine the persons entitled to 

benefits that the plans transfer to PBGC 

and the forms and amounts of benefits 

payable, and to refer claimants of 

benefits being held elsewhere to the 

institutions holding the benefits. 

PBGC intends to make the following 

modifications to the information 

collection in this renewal: 

• PBGC is proposing a requirement 

for plans that are filing information 

about more than five missing 

individuals (participants or 

beneficiaries) to provide that 

information in a spreadsheet file. PBGC 

provides a user-friendly template that 

may be used for this purpose. 

• PBGC is adding a question to the 

DB plan forms (MP–100, 300, and 400) 

asking if the plan has a default 

beneficiary provision, and, if yes, 

requiring an attachment of it. (This 

question is already on the DC plan form 

(MP–200)). 

• PBGC is updating references on the 

DB plan forms and instructions that 

relate to de minimis benefit amounts of 

$5,000 or less to reflect the change 

under section 304 of the SECURE 2.0 

Act increasing that amount to $7,000 as 

of January 1, 2024.1

• PBGC is adding a box to the DC 

plan form for the person certifying the 

form to check whether they are the 

plan’s plan administrator or the plan’s 

qualified termination administrator. 

Finally, PBGC intends to make other 

clarifying and editorial changes to the 

forms and instructions, including listing 

common filing errors. 

PBGC estimates that it will receive 

over the next 3 years an annual average 

of 345 filings from plans under this 

collection of information. PBGC further 

estimates that the average annual 

burden of this collection of information 

is 70 hours and $498,000. The actual 

hour burden and cost burden per plan 

will vary depending on plan size and 

other factors. 

The existing collection of information 

was approved under OMB control 

number 1212–0069 (expires January 31, 

2024). On July 3, 2023, PBGC published 

in the Federal Register a notice at 88 FR 

42758 informing the public of its intent 

to request an extension of this collection 

of information and solicited public 

comment. No comments were received. 

PBGC intends to request that OMB 

extend its approval of this collection of 

information for three years. 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 OMB control 

number.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Release No. 34–98761; File No. SR– 

CboeBZX–2023–081] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Cboe 

BZX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of Filing 

and Immediate Effectiveness of a 

Proposed Rule Change To Amend Its 

Fee Schedule 

October 16, 2023. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the 

‘‘Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on October 

4, 2023, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(the ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III 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. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the 

‘‘Exchange’’ or ‘‘BZX’’) proposes to 

amend its Fee Schedule. The text of the 

proposed rule change is provided in 

Exhibit 5. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is also available on the Exchange’s 

website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/ 

options/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/), at 

the Exchange’s Office of the Secretary, 

and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

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 

The Exchange proposes to amend its 

Fee Schedule.3

The Exchange first notes that it 

operates in a highly competitive market 

in which market participants can 

readily direct order flow to competing 

venues if they deem fee levels at a 

particular venue to be excessive or 

incentives to be insufficient. More 

specifically, the Exchange is only one of 

17 options venues to which market 

participants may direct their order flow. 

Based on publicly available information, 

no single options exchange has more 

than 19% of the market share and 

currently the Exchange represents only 

approximately 4% of the market share.4

Thus, in such a low-concentrated and 

highly competitive market, no single 

options exchange, including the 

Exchange, possesses significant pricing 

power in the execution of option order 

flow. The Exchange believes that the 

ever-shifting market share among the 

exchanges from month to month 

demonstrates that market participants 

can shift order flow or discontinue to 

reduce use of certain categories of 

products, in response to fee changes. 

Accordingly, competitive forces 

constrain the Exchange’s transaction 

fees, and market participants can readily 

trade on competing venues if they deem 

pricing levels at those other venues to 

be more favorable. 

The Exchange’s Fee Schedule sets 

forth standard rebates and rates applied 

per contract. For example, the Exchange 

assesses a standard transaction fee of 

$0.48 per contract for Customer orders 

in Penny Securities, excluding SPY and 

IWM, that remove liquidity, yielding fee 

code ‘‘PC’’. The Exchange assesses a 

standard transaction fee of $0.45 per 

contract for Customer SPY and IWM 

orders that remove liquidity, yielding 

fee code ‘‘PR’’. The Fee Codes and 

Associated Fees section of the Fees
