47Exchange Act Release No. 97257 (Apr. 6, 2023), 

88 FR 22075 (Apr. 12, 2023) (File No. SR–MSRB– 

2023–03). 

48See Letter from Leslie M. Norwood, Managing 

Director and Associate General Counsel, Securities 

Industry and Financial Markets Association (May 3, 

2023), available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/

costly for certain dealers who may 

already have written agreements in 

place or would want to rely on written 

agreements over incurring compliance 

costs of establishing, implementing and 

enforcing policies and procedures. 

Thus, the MSRB has determined that the 

proposed rule change is superior to the 

potential alternative approaches because 

it would offer two options for dealers to 

work towards a same-day allocation, 

confirmation and affirmation standard, 

thereby facilitating a timely settlement. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received on the proposed 

rule change. However, in connection 

with the MSRB’s filing to adopt a T+1 

settlement process for municipal 

securities,47 one commenter expressed 

general support to have consistent rules 

for municipal securities with those for 

equities and corporate bonds whenever 

possible.48 Specifically, the commenter 

encouraged the MSRB to consider a rule 

consistent with Exchange Act Rule 

15c6–2, to improve the processing of 

institutional trades through new 

requirements for market participants 

related to same-day affirmations.49

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Within 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period of 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate if it finds such longer period 

to be appropriate and publishes its 

reasons for so finding or (ii) as to which 

the self-regulatory organization 

consents, the Commission will: 

(A) by order approve or disapprove 

such proposed rule change, or 

(B) institute proceedings to determine 

whether the proposed rule change 

should be disapproved. 

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.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

I2U2 is a partnership between the 

heads of government of India, Israel, the 

United Arab Emirates, and the United 

States. This grouping of countries 

identifies bankable projects and 

initiatives, with a particular focus on 

joint investments and new initiatives in 

water, energy, transportation, space, 

health, food security, and technology. 

The I2U2 initiative aims to mobilize 

private sector capital and expertise to 

achieve a variety of economic goals. 

The purpose of this collection is to 

gather the required details necessary to 

determine if applicants’ projects qualify 

to participate in the I2U2 initiative. This 

information is necessary to select 

participants and share information with 

I2U2 partners. The window to receive 

project proposals will remain open as 

long as the I2U2 initiative exists. 

I2U2 will consider projects and 

initiatives on an individual basis that 

meet the following criteria: 

1. Fall into at least one of these seven 

sectors: water, climate/energy, 

transportation, space, health, food 

security, or technology. 

2. Preferably operate in the Middle 

East, India, the United States, or Africa. 

However, the I2U2 Group will consider 

opportunities anywhere in the world. 

3. Allow each of the four partner 

countries to benefit from and/or 

contribute to the project. Priority will be 

given to projects based on cooperation 

and/or involvement of participants from 

all four I2U2 partner countries. 

Respondents will access to the form at 

www.state.gov/I2U2. Following these 

criteria, the form asks individuals to 

select the applicable sectors and explain 

the proposed role of/benefits to each 

partner country. The form also requests 

details about the project submitter, any 

monetary and nonmonetary requests, 

and a description of the project and 

timeline. I2U2 will utilize this form for 

vetting, review, and selection of project 

submissions. Submitters may also 

optionally provide additional 

supporting documentation, such as a 

detailed budget, marketing brochure, or 

other relevant materials. 

Methodology 

The collection will be completed 100 

percent electronically. The respondent 

will complete the form online and 

submit the form by email to I2U2@

state.gov.
