National, Inc. (‘‘the Participants’’) filed 

with the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’ or the 

‘‘SEC’’) proposed amendments to the 

national market system plan governing 

the consolidated audit trail (the ‘‘CAT 

NMS Plan’’).3 These proposed 

amendments (the ‘‘Proposal’’) were 

designed to implement certain costs 

saving measures,4 including: (A) 

provisions that would change 

processing, query, and storage 

requirements for options market maker 

quotes in listed options; (B) provisions 

that would permit the Plan Processor 5

to move raw unprocessed data and 

interim operational copies of CAT Data 6

older than 15 days to what the 

Participants described as a more costeffective storage tier; (C) provisions that 

would permit the Plan Processor to 

provide an interim CAT-Order-ID 7 to 

regulatory users on an ‘‘as requested’’ 

basis, rather than on a daily basis; and 

(D) provisions that would codify and 

expand exemptive relief recently 

provided by the Commission related to 

certain recordkeeping and data retention 

requirements for industry testing data. 

The Proposal was published for 

comment in the Federal Register on 

April 16, 2024.8

On July 15, 2024, the Commission 

instituted proceedings pursuant to Rule 

608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS,9 to 

determine whether to disapprove the 

Proposal or to approve the Proposal 

with any changes or subject to any 

conditions the Commission deems 

necessary or appropriate after 

considering public comment (the 

‘‘OIP’’).10 The Participants subsequently 

submitted an amendment to their 

Proposal on September 20, 2024 (the 

‘‘Amendment’’), which, among other 

things, withdrew the proposed 

amendments that would have permitted 

the Plan Processor to provide an interim 

CAT-Order-ID to regulatory users on an 

‘‘as requested’’ basis, rather than on a 

daily basis.11 The Amendment was 

published for comment in the Federal 

Register on October 7, 2024.12

Rule 608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS 

provides that proceedings, once 

instituted, shall be concluded within 

180 days of the date of the publication 

of notice of an amendment to an 

existing national market system plan 

and that the time for conclusion of such 

proceedings may be extended for up to 

60 days (up to 240 days from the date 

of notice publication) if the Commission 

determines that a longer period is 

appropriate and publishes the reasons 

for such determination or if the plan

participants consent to a longer 

period.13 The 180th day after 

publication of the Notice for the 

Proposal is October 11, 2024. The 

Commission is extending this 180-day 

period. 

The Commission finds that it is 

appropriate to designate a longer period 

within which to conclude proceedings 

regarding the Proposal, as modified by 

the recently-filed Amendment, so that 

the Commission has sufficient time to 

consider the changes set forth in the 

Amendment and any comments that 

might be received on the Amendment. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 

608(b)(2)(i) of Regulation NMS,14 the 

Commission designates December 12, 

2024, as the date by which the 

Commission shall conclude the 

proceedings to determine whether to 

approve or disapprove the Proposal, as 

modified by the Amendment. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated 

authority.15

ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for

SUMMARY: The Small Business 

Administration (SBA) intends to request 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for the collection of 

information described below. The 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

requires Federal agencies to publish a 

notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information before submission to OMB, 

and to allow 60 days for public 

comment in response to the notice. This 

notice complies with that requirement. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

December 16, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Send all comments via 

email to Shayne Bradshaw, Financial 

Analyst, Office of Credit Risk 

Management, 202–996–5370 at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 504 

Loan Program aims to foster economic 

development and to create or preserve 

job opportunities in both urban and 

rural areas by providing long-term 

financing for small business concerns. A 

Certified Development Company (CDC) 

is an entity authorized by the Small 

Business Administration (SBA) to 

deliver 504 financing to small 

businesses. 13 CFR 120.830 requires 

CDCs to submit certain reports to SBA, 

collectively known as the ‘‘Annual 

Report’’. As the primary regulatory body 

overseeing CDCs, the SBA conducts due 

diligence to ensure CDCs comply with 

the operational and regulatory 

requirements of the 504 program, 

thereby ensuring its sustainability. The 

CDC Annual Report Guide serves the 

Office of Credit Risk Management, the 

Office of Financial Assistance, and all 

SBA District Offices by providing 

crucial information on the CDCs’ 

financial health, regulatory compliance, 

and the effectiveness of their assistance 

to small businesses. This information 

also aids the SBA in drafting reports to 

Congress. 

The information collection has been 

adjusted to include the following 

proposed changes: 

1. Revised Economic Development 

Report: Standardized to gather 

pertinent, measurable data on current 

period economic development activity. 

Changes include the removal of certain 

information collections such as the 

report on previous year’s investment 

and results, narrative on local economic 

changes which impact lending, and 

economic development strategy and 

projections for the upcoming year. 

2. Enhanced Guidance and Optional 

Tables: Added to facilitate the 

compilation of the Report. 

3. Requirement for Auditor’s 

Engagement Letter: To be submitted 

alongside CDC financial statements. 

4. Updated 159 Reporting: Reflects 

changes in SOP 50 10 7.1, no longer 

requiring completed Form 159 

submissions with the Annual Report. 

5. Report on Compensation: removed 

requirement for submission of Executive 

Compensation Policy and certain 

supporting documentation. 

6. Guidance for Program Renewals: 

Added instructions for the Accredited 

Lenders Program (ALP) and Premier 

Certified Lenders Program (PCLP) 

renewals. 

These updates aim to streamline the 

information collection process, reduce 

the administrative burden on CDCs, 

enhance the utility of the report, and 

standardize data reporting to improve 

overall reporting efficiency and 

oversight. 

Solicitation of Public Comments 

SBA is requesting comments on (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to properly 

perform its functions; (b) whether the 

burden estimates are accurate; (c) 

whether there are ways to minimize the 

burden, including through the use of 

automated techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) whether 

there are ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information. 

Summary of Information Collection 

OMB Control Number: 3245–0074. 

Title: Certified Development 

Company (CDC) Annual Report Guide. 

Description of Respondents: Certified 

Development Companies. 

Form Number: SBA Form 1253. 

Total Estimated Annual Responses:
