Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 2 / Wednesday, January 4, 2012 / Notices 319 

25Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the 

Securities Act Amendments of 1975, Public Law 

94–29 (June 4, 1975), grants the Commission 

flexibility to determine what type of proceeding— 

either oral or notice and opportunity for written 

comments—is appropriate for consideration of a 

particular proposal by a self-regulatory 

organization. See Securities Act Amendments of 

1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban 

Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 

(1975). 26 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(57). 

expressed some concerns with the 

details of the SRO Proposals, including 

whether only the Level III circuit 

breaker should halt trading after 3:25 

p.m. and whether the market-wide 

circuit breakers should be triggered if a 

significant number of volatility 

moderators for individual securities are 

triggered. 

The Commission shares the desire of 

the exchanges and FINRA to 

appropriately update the market-wide 

circuit breakers in light of the current 

market structure and the lessons learned 

from the events of May 6, 2010. Because 

of the importance of both the marketwide and individual security volatility 

moderators to the maintenance of fair 

and orderly markets and the protection 

of investors, however, the Commission 

believes the SRO Proposals should be 

considered together with the proposed 

Limit Up-Limit Down Plan, to help 

assure these mechanisms interact 

appropriately with one another, and that 

details of the market-wide circuit 

breakers are fully evaluated. 

Accordingly, in light of the pending 

proposal to establish the Limit Up-Limit 

Down Plan, and the concerns raised by 

commenters, the Commission believes 

that questions remain as to whether the 

SRO Proposals are consistent with the 

requirements of Sections 6(b)(5) and 

15A(b)(6) of the Act, including whether 

the proposed market-wide circuit 

breakers would remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a national 

market system, or protect investors and 

the public interest. 

VI. Solicitation of Comments 

The Commission requests that 

interested persons provide written 

submissions of their views, data and 

arguments with respect to the concerns 

identified above, as well as any others 

they may have with the SRO Proposals. 

In particular, the Commission invites 

the written views of interested persons 

concerning whether the SRO Proposals 

are inconsistent with Section 6(b)(5), 

Section 15A(b)(6), or any other 

provision of the Act, or the rules and 

regulation thereunder. Although there 

do not appear to be any issues relevant 

to approval or disapproval which would 

be facilitated by an oral presentation of 

views, data, and arguments, the 

Commission will consider, pursuant to 

Rule 19b–4, any request for an 

opportunity to make an oral 

presentation.25

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views and 

arguments regarding whether the SRO 

Proposals should be disapproved by 

January 25, 2012. Any person who 

wishes to file a rebuttal to any other 

person’s submission must file that 

rebuttal by February 8, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Compendium of State 

Performance Management Practices and 

Methodologies for Setting a National 

Safety Performance Target. 

Type of request: New information 

collection requirement. 

Background: This information 

collection effort is part of a larger 

project to document the methodologies 

currently used by the States to develop 

highway safety performance measures 

and targets. The research project 

includes a literature review of current 

guidance and practices, a technical 

report on performance management and 

target setting in comparable nonhighway safety environments, a peer 

exchange to explore methodologies and 

establish promising practices and 

finally, alternative methodologies for 

setting a national highway safety 

performance target. 

This information collection will 

specifically support a compendium and 

evaluation of how baseline information 

is used in individual States, the District 

of Columbia, Metropolitan Planning 

Organizations (MPOs), local and tribal 

agencies to select, set and evaluate 

performance based highway safety 

measures and how they affect the 

overall State’s highway safety programs. 

FHWA proposes to conduct a Webbased survey to evaluate the 

methodologies used by State 

Departments of Transportation, State 

Governor’s Highway Safety Offices, 

select Metropolitan Planning 

Organizations and local departments of 

transportation to identify methodologies 

for selecting highway safety 

performance measures and 

methodologies for setting performance 

targets based on those measures. Sample 

size will be approximately 150 to 160 

persons, representing each of the State 

Departments of Transportation; each of 

the Governor’s Highway Safety Offices, 

the District of Columbia, and select 

MPOs and local departments of 

transportation. Interview length will be 

approximately 30 minutes. 

The surveys will be conducted by 

emailing a URL link to the appropriate 

representative within each organization. 

A standardized questionnaire will be
