POSTAL SERVICE 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM. 

ACTION: Notice of modification to 

existing system of records. 

SUMMARY: The United States Postal 

Service® (Postal Service) is proposing to 

modify a General Privacy Act System of 

Records (SOR) to support the sharing of 

employment and wage data with the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for their 

Occupational Employment Statistics 

(OES) program. These data are used for 

the development of employment and 

wage estimates for over 800 

occupations. 

DATES: These revisions will become 

effective without further notice on April 

1, 2015 unless comments received on or 

before that date result in a contrary 

determination. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed 

or delivered to the Privacy and Records 

Office, United States Postal Service, 475 

L’Enfant Plaza SW., Room 9517, 

Washington, DC 20260–1101. Copies of 

all written comments will be available 

at this address for public inspection and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Matthew J. Connolly, Chief Privacy 

Officer, Privacy and Records Office, 

202–268–8582 or privacy@usps.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is in accordance with the Privacy 

Act requirement that agencies publish 

their systems of records in the Federal 

Register when there is a revision, 

change, or addition, or when the agency 

establishes a new system of records. The 

Postal ServiceTM has determined that 

one General Privacy Act System of 

Records should be revised to modify 

categories of records in the system, 

purpose(s), routine uses of records 

maintained in the system, including 

categories of users and the purpose of 

such uses, and retrievability. 

Background 

Pursuant to agreements that will 

protect the use of Postal Service data, 

the Postal Service intends to provide the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) with 

employment and wage data pertaining 

to USPS employees. These data are used 

in BLS’s OES program and, in 

conjunction with data obtained from the 

Office of Personnel Management, are 

used to develop employment and wage 

estimates. 

The OES program produces 

employment and wage estimates for 

over 800 occupations. These estimates 

include the number of jobs in certain 

occupations and estimates of the wages 

paid to with respect to those jobs. 

Through its program, BLS maintains a 

comprehensive source of regularly 

produced occupational employment and 

wage information available for the 

nation as a whole, for individual States, 

and for metropolitan areas. OES data is 

used to develop information regarding 

current and projected employment 

needs, job opportunities, job placement 

aids, and state education and workforce 

development plans. Jobseekers can use 

OES data to analyze occupational wages 

and cost of living data by U.S area. 

Employment and wage estimate data are 

also used by academic and government 

researchers to study labor markets and 

wage and employment trends. BLS is 

now developing occupational 

employment and wage estimates and is 

requesting USPS occupational data 

which includes occupational titles and 

occupational codes. 

Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy 

Act Systems of Records 

The Postal Service is proposing 

modifications to SOR 100.400. 

Categories of records is being amended 

to reflect that the Postal Service 

maintains a unique occupation code and 

an occupation title for each employee, 

as well as annual salary, hourly rate, 

and the Rate Schedule Code (RSC), 

which is used to identify an employee’s 

pay type. Pay type refers to any kind of 

wage that an employer is allotting to an 

employee. This can include, but is not 

limited to, holiday pay, overtime pay, 

annual leave pay, sick leave pay, 

severance pay, etc. Purpose is being 

modified to permit the Postal Service to 

maintain annual salary, hourly rate, and 

pay type information for the purpose of 

statistical research and reporting. The 

Postal Service is also adding a routine 

use explaining that the disclosure of 

these data may be made to BLS for the 

development of occupational estimates 

for federal employees. Retrievability is 

being revised to indicate the data can 

now be retrieved by occupation code 

and/or occupation title. 

III. Description of Changes to Systems 

of Records 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (e)(11), 

interested persons are invited to submit 

written data, views, or arguments on 

this proposal. A report of the proposed 

modifications has been sent to Congress 

and to the Office of Management and 

Budget for their evaluations. The Postal 

Service does not expect this amended 

system of records to have any adverse 

effect on individual privacy rights. The 

affected system is as follows: 

USPS 100.400 

SYSTEM NAME: Personnel 

Compensation and Payroll Records 

Accordingly, for the reasons stated, 

the Postal Service proposes changes in 

the existing system of records as 

follows: 

USPS 100.400 

SYSTEM NAME: 

Personnel Compensation and Payroll 

Records.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

Extension: 

Form 13F. SEC File No. 270–22, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0006. 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Section 13(f) 1 of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 2 (the ‘‘Exchange 

Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1) 

Adopt rules that create a reporting and 

disclosure system to collect specific 

information; and (2) disseminate such 

information to the public. Rule 13f–1 3

under the Exchange Act requires 

institutional investment managers that 

exercise investment discretion over 

accounts that have in the aggregate a fair 

market value of at least $100,000,000 of 

certain U.S. exchange-traded equity 

securities, as set forth in rule 13f–1(c), 

to file quarterly reports with the 

Commission on Form 13F.4

The information collection 

requirements apply to institutional 

investment managers that meet the $100 

million reporting threshold. Section 

13(f)(6) of the Exchange Act defines an 

‘‘institutional investment manager’’ as 

any person, other than a natural person, 

investing in or buying and selling 

securities for its own account, and any 

person exercising investment discretion 

with respect to the account of any other 

person. Rule 13f–1(b) under the 

Exchange Act defines ‘‘investment 

discretion’’ for purposes of Form 13F 

reporting. 

The reporting system required by 

Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is 

intended, among other things, to create 

in the Commission a central repository 

of historical and current data about the 

investment activities of institutional 

investment managers, and to improve 

the body of factual data available to 

regulators and the public. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

5,044 respondents make approximately 

20,176 responses under the rule each 

year. The staff estimates that on average, 

Form 13F filers spend 80.8 hours/year 

to prepare and submit the report. In 

addition, the staff estimates that 204 

respondents file approximately 816 

amendments each year. The staff 

estimates that on average, Form 13F 

filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and 

submit amendments to Form 13F. The 

total annual burden of the rule’s 

requirements for all respondents 

therefore is estimated to be 408,371 

hours [(407,555 hours (5,044 filers × 

80.8 hours)) + (816 hours (204 filers × 

4 hours))]. 

The estimate of average burden hours 

is made solely for the purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate 

is not derived from a comprehensive or 

even a representative survey or study of 

the costs of Commission rules. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number. 

The public may view the background 

documentation for this information 

collection at the following Web site, 

www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be 

directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the 

Securities and Exchange Commission, 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, Room 10102, New Executive 

Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, 

or by sending an email to: Shagufta_

Ahmed@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Pamela 

Dyson, Chief Information Officer, 

Securities and Exchange Commission, 

c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon, 100 F Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20549 or send an 

email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Comments must be submitted to OMB 

within 30 days of this notice. 

Dated: February 24, 2015.

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. 

Rule 35d–1 (17 CFR 270.35d–1) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) defines as 

‘‘materially deceptive and misleading’’ 

for purposes of Section 35(d), among 

other things, a name suggesting that a 

registered investment company or series 

thereof (a ‘‘fund’’) focuses its 

investments in a particular type of 

investment or investments, in 

investments in a particular industry or 

group of industries, or in investments in 

a particular country or geographic 

region, unless, among other things, the 

fund adopts a certain investment policy. 

Rule 35d–1 further requires either that 

the investment policy is fundamental or 

that the fund has adopted a policy to 

provide its shareholders with at least 30 

days prior notice of any change in the 

investment policy (‘‘notice to 

shareholders’’). The rule’s notice to 

shareholders provision is intended to 

ensure that when shareholders purchase 

shares in a fund based, at least in part, 

on its name, and with the expectation 

that it will follow the investment policy 

suggested by that name, they will have 

sufficient time to decide whether to 

redeem their shares in the event that the
