8 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

9As required under Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii), the 

Exchange provided the Commission with written 

notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change 

along with a brief description and the text of the 

proposed rule change, at least five business days 

prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule 

change, or such shorter time as designated by the 

Commission. 

10See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60253 

(July 7, 2009) 74 FR 34063 (July 14, 2009) (SR–ISE– 

2009–34) (Notice of Filing and Immediate 

Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Regarding 

Customer Cross Orders). 11 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

Cross Orders. BOX believes that this 

proposed rule change, which is essential 

for competitive purposes and to 

promote a free and open market for the 

benefit of investors, does not raise any 

new, unique or substantive issues from 

those raised in the effective ISE filing. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

No written comments were either 

solicited or received. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

This proposed rule change is filed 

pursuant to paragraph (A) of section 

19(b)(3) of the Exchange Act 7 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder.8 This proposed 

rule change does not significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest, does not impose any significant 

burden on competition, and, by its 

terms, does not become operative for 30 

days after the date of the filing, or such 

shorter time as the Commission may 

designate if consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest.9

A similar filing proposed by the 

International Securities Exchange, LLC 

(‘‘ISE’’) became effective July 7, 2009.10

The Exchange would like to similarly 

offer BOX Options Participants the 

opportunities associated with Customer 

Cross Orders. BOX believes that this 

proposed rule change, which is essential 

for competitive purposes and to 

promote a free and open market for the 

benefit of investors, does not raise any 

new, unique or substantive issues from 

those raised in the effective ISE filing. 

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

Youth Transition Process 

Demonstration Evaluation Data 

Collection—0960–0687 

Background 

The purpose of the Youth Transition 

Demonstration (YTD) project is to help 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 14, 2012 / Notices 8323 

young people with disabilities make the 

transition from school to work. While 

participating in the project, youth can 

continue to work or continue their 

education because SSA waives certain 

disability program rules and offers 

services to youth who are receiving 

disability benefits or have a high 

probability of receiving them. We are 

currently implementing YTD projects in 

three sites across the country. Three 

other sites completed service delivery 

and closed. The evaluation will produce 

empirical evidence on the effects of the 

waivers and project services including 

(1) educational attainment, (2) 

employment, (3) earnings, (4) receipt of 

benefits by youth with disabilities, and 

(5) Social Security Trust Fund and 

Federal income tax revenues. Sections 

1110 and 234 of the Social Security Act 

authorize this project. 

Project Description 

Given the importance of estimating 

YTD effects as accurately as possible, 

we are evaluating the project using 

rigorous analytic methods based on 

randomly assigning youth to a treatment 

or control group. We conducted several 

data collections. These include: (1) 

Baseline interviews with youth and 

their parents or guardians prior to 

random assignment; (2) follow-up 

interviews at 12 months after random 

assignment; (3) interviews and 

roundtable discussions with local 

program administrators, program 

supervisors, and service delivery staff; 

and (4) focus groups of youths, their 

parents, and service providers. We are 

currently collecting follow-up 

interviews at 36 months after random 

assignment. We began collecting 

information for YTD in 2007, and we 

will conclude data collection for the 

project in 2013. The respondents are 

youths with disabilities enrolled in the 

project; their parents or guardians; 

program staff; and service providers. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

existing OMB-approved information 

collection.

About the AERIS Program 

At the core of Federal ITS research is 

connected vehicle research—a 

multimodal initiative that aims to 

enable safe, interoperable networked 

wireless communications among 

vehicles, the infrastructure, and 

passengers’ personal communications 

devices. This research leverages the 

potentially transformative capabilities of 

wireless technology to make surface 

transportation safer, smarter, and 

greener. The objective of the AERIS 

research program is to generate and 

acquire environmentally-relevant realtime transportation data, and use these 

data to create actionable information 

that supports and facilitates ‘‘green’’ 

transportation choices by transportation 

system users and operators. Employing 

a multi-modal approach, the AERIS 

Program will work in partnership with 

the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and 

vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) 

communications research efforts to 

better define how connected vehicle 

data and applications might contribute 

to mitigating some of the negative 

environmental impacts of surface 

transportation. 

About the AERIS User Needs Workshop 

The purpose of this workshop is to 

obtain stakeholder input on the 

Concepts of Operations (ConOps) that 

will be developed for the set of AERIS 

Transformative Concepts. 

Transformative Concepts are integrated 

operational concepts that use V2V, V2I, 

and other data and communications in 

innovative ways to operate surface 

transportation networks to reduce 

transportation-related emissions and 

fuel consumption. Transformative 

Concepts are intended to change the 

way surface transportation systems 

operate, with an emphasis on combining 

connected vehicle applications to 

provide significant environmental 

benefits. The AERIS Transformative 

Concepts include: (1) Eco-signal 

operations, (2) eco-lanes, (3) lowemissions zone, (4) eco-traveler 

information, (5) support for alternative 

fuel vehicle operations, and (6) ecointegrated corridor management. During 

this workshop, the AERIS team will 

facilitate interactive breakout sessions to 

obtain stakeholder input on desired 

capabilities, data needs, and modeling 

needs. This valuable feedback will be 

utilized by the USDOT to further define 

the Transformative Concepts and 

provide input into the ConOps. Input 

from this workshop will enable the 

USDOT in conducting future research 

and modeling to determine potential 

environmental benefits in a connected 

vehicle environment. For more 

information on the AERIS Program and 

the Transformative Concepts, visit:
