68086 (October 23, 2012), 77 FR 65600 (October 29,

70 17 CFR 240.19b–4. 

71Section 19(b)(2) of the Act, as amended by the 

Securities Acts Amendments of 1975, Public Law 

94–29 (June 4, 1975), grants to the Commission 

flexibility to determine what type of proceeding— 

either oral or notice and opportunity for written 

comments—is appropriate for consideration of a 

particular proposal by a self-regulatory 

organization. See Securities Acts Amendments of 

1975, Senate Comm. on Banking, Housing & Urban 

Affairs, S. Rep. No. 75, 94th Cong., 1st Sess. 30 

(1975).

3(a)(57). 

market impact surrounding the use of 

options.69 As discussed above, the 

Exchange has proposed to increase the 

position and exercise limits for options 

on GLD, SLV, LQD, GDX, VXX, and 

UVXY from 250,000 contracts to 

500,000 contracts. The proposed 

doubling of the position and exercise 

limits for these options would be a 

substantial increase from current levels, 

and raises the potential for adverse 

impacts in the underlying markets 

implicated by this proposal. The initial 

proposal did not provide sufficient 

information to explain why all of these 

underlying markets are sufficiently 

comparable to the markets underlying 

the option products currently subject to 

a 500,000 contract position limit or 

sufficient information to independently 

support a finding that all of the 

proposed position limit increases would 

not have an adverse market impact. 

Accordingly, the initial proposal did not 

provide an adequate basis for the 

Commission to conclude that the 

proposal would be consistent with 

Section 6(b)(5) of the Act. 

The Exchange recently provided 

additional analysis and justification for 

its proposal in Amendment No. 1. 

Amendment No. 1 was submitted 

shortly before the expiration of the 

statutory deadline for the Commission 

to act on the Exchange’s proposal, 

leaving the Commission, as well as any 

potential commenters, with insufficient 

time to carefully consider the new data 

and analysis before the deadline. In the 

proceedings that the Commission is 

instituting today, the Commission will 

be evaluating, among other things, the 

Exchange’s amended statements, and 

invites comment on the extent to which 

they justify approval of the proposal. 

IV. Procedure: Request for Written 

Comments 

The Commission requests that 

interested persons provide written 

submissions of their data, views, and 

arguments with respect to the issues 

identified above, as well as any other 

concerns they may have with the 

proposal. In particular, the Commission 

invites the written views of interested 

persons concerning whether the 

proposed rule change, as modified by 

Amendment No. 1, is consistent with 

Section 6(b)(5), or any other provision of 

the Act, or the rules and regulations 

thereunder. Although there do not 

appear to be any issues relevant to 

approval or disapproval which would 

be facilitated by an oral presentation of 

data, views, and arguments, the 

Commission will consider, pursuant to 

Rule 19b–4 under the Act,70 any request 

for an opportunity to make an oral 

presentation.71

The Commission asks that 

commenters address the sufficiency and 

merit of the Exchange’s statements in 

support of the proposal, as modified by 

Amendment No. 1, in addition to any 

other comments they may wish to 

submit about the proposed rule change. 

In particular, the Commission seeks 

comment on whether the position and 

exercise limit for each option as 

proposed could impact markets 

adversely. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments regarding whether the 

proposed rule change, as modified by 

Amendment No. 1, should be approved 

or disapproved by September 1, 2021. 

Any person who wishes to file a rebuttal 

to any other person’s submission must 

file that rebuttal by September 15, 2021. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

comment form (http://www.sec.gov/

1. Work-Disability Functional

Assessment Battery (WD–FAB)—0960–

NEW

Background 

SSA uses continuing disability 

reviews (CDR) to determine continued 

eligibility of program benefits for Social 

Security disability insurance (SSDI), 

and Supplemental Security Income 

(SSI) recipients. SSA is requesting 

clearance to administer the WorkDisability Functional Assessment 

Battery (WD–FAB) assessment to a 

sample of working-age SSDI and SSI 

program recipients who are due for their 

CDR. The WD–FAB is a self-reported 

assessment measuring whole personfunctioning at the activity level for eight 

work-related functional domains: (1) 

Basic Mobility; (2) Upper Body 

Function; (3) Fine Motor Function; (4) 

Community Mobility; (5) 

Communication and Cognition; (6) 

Resilience and Sociability; (7) SelfRegulation; and (8) Mood and Emotion. 

SSA will use the data the WD–FAB 

collects to assess the feasibility and 

value of incorporating the WD–FAB into 

SSA’s CDR process with the intent of 

improving the CDR process. Section 

1110(a) of the Social Security Act (Act) 

gives the Commissioner of Social 

Security the authority to help fund 

research or demonstration projects 

relating to the prevention and reduction 

of dependency. SSA contracted with 

Westat to conduct the WD–FAB data 

collection. 

WD–FAB Project Description 

To assess the feasibility of 

incorporating the WD–FAB into the 

CDR process, this study will conduct 

two assessments. The first assessment is 

a baseline assessment of the WD–FAB 

and the second assessment, which we 

will conduct with the same individuals 

six months later, will detect any 

changes. Each survey will include three 

main components: Classification 

questions, WD–FAB questions, and 

follow-up questions. The classification 

questions and WD–FAB questions will 

be identical in each survey. 

Survey 1 will cover questions in the 

following domains: 

• Classification questions:

Æ Demographic questions (age, 

gender, race, ethnicity, marital status, 

highest level of education completed); 

Æ Questions on general health, mental 

health status, and work-limiting 

conditions; 

Æ 4-item set of Healthy Days core

questions included in the state-based 

Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance 

System; 

Æ Questions from Form SSA–455, 

Disability Update Report 

• Veterans Item Health Survey;

• Items from WD–FAB; and

• 3–5 follow-up questions to solicit

feedback on the WD–FAB about ease of 

use, clarity of instructions, and 

perceived burden. 

Survey 2 will include the same 

classification questions included in 

Survey 1, and we will record responses 

using the WD–FAB Computer Assisted 

Telephone (CAT) system. CAT 

interviewers and respondents who 

complete the surveys via the web will 

access the same web version of the 

survey instruments ensuring data 

consistency between these two modes of 

data collection. The CAT methodology 

uses a computer interface that rapidly 

tailors questions to the unique ability 

level of each claimant, allowing for 

fewer items to be administered, while 

providing an assessment that is proven 

to be accurate, precise, comprehensive,
