Administration. Therefore, the public 

service pension (PSP) provisions apply 

to RRA annuities. 

RRB Regulations pertaining to the 

collection of evidence relating to public 

service pensions or worker’s 

compensation paid to spouse or 

survivor applicants or annuitants are 

found in 20 CFR 219.64c. 

The RRB utilizes Form G–208, Public 

Service Pension Questionnaire, and 

Form G–212, Public Service Monitoring 

Questionnaire, to obtain information 

used to determine whether an annuity 

reduction is in order. The RRB proposes 

no changes to Form G–208. Non-burden 

impacting editorial and formatting 

changes are proposed to Form G–212. 

Completion of the forms is voluntary. 

However, failure to complete the forms 

could result in the nonpayment of 

benefits. One response is requested of 

each respondent. The completion time 

for the G–208 is estimated at 16 minutes 

and the G–212 is estimated at 15 

minutes. The RRB estimates that 

approximately 70 Form G–208’s and 

1,100 Form G–212’s are completed 

annually.

Proposed Collection; Comment

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC

Extension: 

Form F–6, OMB Control No. 3235–0292, 

SEC File No. 270–270. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for approval. 

The Commission under Section 19 of 

the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a 

et seq.) established Form F–6 (17 CFR 

239.36) for registration of American 

Depositary Receipts (ADRs) of foreign 

companies. Form F–6 requires 

disclosure of information regarding the 

terms of the depository bank, fees 

charged, and a description of the ADRs. 

No special information regarding the 

foreign company is required to be 

prepared or disclosed, although the 

foreign company must be one which 

periodically furnishes information to 

the Commission. The information is 

needed to ensure that investors in ADRs 

have full disclosure of information 

concerning the deposit agreement and 

the foreign company. Form F–6 takes 

approximately 1 hour per response to 

prepare and is filed by 150 respondents 

annually. We estimate that 25% of the 

1 hour per response (.25 hours) is 

prepared by the filer for a total annual 

reporting burden of 37.5 hours (.25 

hours per response × 150 responses). 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden imposed by the collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including 

through the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

in writing within 60 days of this 

publication. 

Please direct your written comments 

to R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

Program for Allocation of Regulatory 

Responsibilities Pursuant to Rule 17d–

2; Notice of Filing and Order 

Approving and Declaring Effective a 

Revised Plan for Allocation of 

Regulatory Responsibilities Between 

NYSE Arca, Inc. and the National 

Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 

March 22, 2007. 

Pursuant to Sections 17(d) 1 and 

11A(a)(3)(B) 2 of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’), the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

is hereby providing notice of filing and 

issuing an order granting approval and 

declaring effective a revised plan for the 

allocation of regulatory responsibilities 

dated February 9, 2007 (‘‘Revised Plan’’) 

that was filed pursuant to Rule 17d–2 

under the Act3 by NYSE Arca, Inc. 

(‘‘NYSE Arca’’) and the National 

Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 

(‘‘NASD’’) (together with the NYSE 

Arca, the ‘‘Parties’’). The Revised Plan 

replaces and supersedes the agreement 

entered into between the Parties on July 

25, 2006 (‘‘July 2006 Plan’’)4 in its 

entirety. The Revised Plan, which 

makes minor changes to the July 2006 

Plan, does not fundamentally alter the 

allocation of regulatory responsibilities 

between the Parties.5 Accordingly, in 

addition to the regulatory responsibility 

it has under the Act, NASD shall retain 

the regulatory responsibilities allocated 

to it under the Revised Plan. At the 

same time, NYSE Arca continues to be 

relieved of those regulatory 

responsibilities allocated to NASD 

under the Revised Plan. 

I. Introduction 

Section 19(g)(1) of the Act,6 among 

other things, requires every selfregulatory organization (‘‘SRO’’) 

registered as either a national securities 

exchange or registered securities 

association to examine for, and enforce 

compliance by, its members and persons 

associated with its members with the 

Act, the rules and regulations 

thereunder, and the SRO’s own rules, 

unless the SRO is relieved of this
