The Commission finds that NSCC’s 

proposed rule change is consistent with 

these requirements because: the Pair Off

greater efficiency and transparency with 

respect to obligations processed through 

the OW; and to improve NSCC’s current 

mechanism for the clearance and 

settlement of securities transactions that 

are placed in the OW.

On the basis of the foregoing, the 

Commission finds that the proposal is 

consistent with the requirements of the 

Act and in particular with the 

requirements of Section 17A of the 

Act 13 and the rules and regulations 

thereunder. 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

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

proposed rule change SR–NSCC–2013– 

11 be, and it hereby is, approved. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.14

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The DS–1950 has been the form used

such as Foreign Service specialist 

positions. We wish to continue to use 

this form to clarify interpretation of 

applicant responses and how applicants 

become aware of our program

United States Code, authorizes OPM to 

delegate the authority to collect 

necessary employment information to 

other agencies, including the

applicants for certain service jobs at the 

Department of State, such as Foreign 

Service Specialist and Generalist 

positions. We are in the process of 

transitioning the final programs onto the 

USAJobs.gov platform and expect no 

more than 60 applicants to utilize the 

DS–1950 this year. Although we are 

encouraging all programs to use 

USAJobs.gov, we wish to extend the 

form to ensure we are not in violation 

under the Paper Reduction Act (PRA) 

during the transitioning period. Data, 

which is extracted from the form, is 

necessary to determine qualifications, 

salary, and selections, in accordance 

with Federal policies.
