OFFICE OF PERSONNEL 

MANAGEMENT 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request for Extension of a 

Currently Approved Information 

Collection: SF 3112 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice 

announces that the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. Standard Form 3112, CSRS/ 

FERS Documentation in Support of 

Disability Retirement Application, 

collects information from applicants for 

disability retirement so that OPM can 

determine whether to approve a 

disability retirement. The applicant will 

only complete Standard Forms 3112A 

and 3112C. Standard Forms 3112B, 

3112D and 3112E, will be completed by 

the immediate supervisor and the 

employing agency of the applicant. 

Approximately 12,100 applicants for 

disability retirement complete this 

application annually. The SF 3112C 

requires approximately 60 minutes to 

complete. A burden of 12,100 hours is 

estimated for SF 3112C. SF 3112A is 

used each year by approximately 1,350 

persons who are not Federal employees. 

SF 3112A requires approximately 30 

minutes to complete and a burden of 

675 hours is estimated for SF 3112A. 

All 12,100 respondents must use SF 

3112C; of the 12,100, only 1,350 of the 

applicants are not Federal Employees 

and use SF 3112A. The total annual 

burden for SF 3112 is 12,775 hours.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549. 

Extension: 

Rule 15a–4; SEC File No. 270–7; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0010. 

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 extension 

and approval. 

Rule 15a–4 (17 CFR 240.15a–4) under 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’) 

permits a natural person member of a 

securities exchange who terminates his 

or her association with a registered 

broker-dealer to continue to transact 

business on the exchange while the if 

the exchange files a statement indicating 

that there does not appear to be any 

ground for disapproving the application. 

The total annual burden imposed by 

Rule 15a–4 is approximately 106 hours, 

based on approximately 25 responses 

(25 Respondents x 1 Response/ 

Respondent), each requiring 

approximately 4.23 hours to complete. 

The Commission uses the information 

disclosed by applicants in Form BD: (1) 

To determine whether the applicant 

meets the standards for registration set 

forth in the provisions of the Exchange 

Act; (2) to develop a central information 

resource where members of the public 

may obtain relevant, up-to-date 

information about broker-dealers, 

municipal securities dealers and 

government securities broker-dealers, 

and where the Commission, other 

regulators and SROs may obtain 

information for investigatory purposes 

in connection with securities litigation; 

and (3) to develop statistical 

information about broker-dealers, 

municipal securities dealers and 

government securities broker-dealers. 

Without the information disclosed in 

Form BD, the Commission could not 

effectively implement policy objectives 

of the Exchange Act with respect to its 

investor protection function. 

The statement submitted by the 

exchange assures the Commission that 

the applicant, in the opinion of the 

exchange, is qualified to transact 

business on the exchange during the 

time that the applications are reviewed. 

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 shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be 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. 

Comments should be directed to: R. 

Corey Booth, Director/Chief Information 

Officer, Securities and Exchange 

Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson, 

6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, 

Virginia 22312 or send an e-mail to: 

PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. Comments must 

be submitted within 60 days of this 

notice. 

Dated: April 11, 2007.

Deputy Secretary.
