SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended by the Computer 

Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 

1988 and the Computer Matching and 

Privacy Protections Amendment of 1990 

(Privacy Act), and Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) guidance on the 

conduct of matching programs, 

including OMB Final Guidance 

Interpreting the Provisions of Public 

Law 100–53 (published in the Federal 

Register on June 19, 1989 (54 FR 25818) 

and OMB Circular A–108, notice is 

hereby given of the re-establishment of 

a matching program between the Office 

of Personnel Management (OPM) and 

the Social Security Administration 

(SSA). This matching program, 

Computer Matching Agreement 1071, is 

being re-established to enable OPM to 

offset specific benefits paid to disability 

annuitants, child survivor annuitants, 

and spousal survivor annuitants by a 

percentage of benefits payable by SSA 

under Title II of the Social Security Act, 

as required by law. 

Participating Agencies: OPM and 

SSA. 

Authority for Conducting the 

Matching Program: OPM’s authority to 

participate in this matching program 

derives from 5 U.S.C. 8442(f), 8443(a), 

8452(a)(2)(A), and 8461(h)(1). SSA is 

authorized to participate in this 

matching program pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

1306. 

Purpose(s): The purpose of this 

matching program between OPM and 

SSA is to assist OPM in meeting its legal 

obligation to offset specific benefits 

payable by OPM to disability 

annuitants, child survivor annuitants, 

and spousal survivor annuitants. SSA 

will disclose to OPM benefit 

information regarding individuals who 

receive benefits from SSA under Title II 

of the Social Security Act, which OPM 

will use to determine an individual’s 

eligibility to receive benefits from OPM 

and to compute the benefits it provides 

at the correct rate. 

Categories of Individuals: The 

individuals about whom OPM 

maintains information that are involved 

in this matching program include 

retired Federal employees who are 

eligible or potentially eligible to receive 

a disability annuity from OPM 

(disability annuitants), and surviving 

children and surviving spouses of those 

disability annuitants who are 

themselves eligible or potentially 

eligible to receive an annuity from OPM. 

The individuals about who SSA 

maintains information that are involved 

in this matching program include those 

who receive benefits from SSA under 

Title II of the Social Security Act. 

Category of Records: The categories of 

records involved in the data match from 

OPM include information about those 

individuals who have applied for or are 

eligible or potentially eligible for 

disability annuitant benefits. 

Specifically, full name, Social Security 

number (SSN), date of birth, and a 

system indicator required to extract 

information from SSA’s systems. For 

those individuals for whom SSA has a 

record, SSA will provide OPM with 

information about an individual’s 

beneficiary status and any associated 

benefit information; for those 

individuals for whom SSA cannot 

match the SSN, SSA will return an 

appropriate code to OPM. 

System(s) of Records: OPM’s system 

of records involved in this matching 

program is designated OPM/Central-1, 

Civil Service Retirement and Insurance 

Records. 64 FR 54930 (Oct. 8, 1999), as 

amended at 73 FR 15013 (March 20, 

2008). SSA’s systems of records 

involved in this matching program are 

the Master Files of Social Security 

Number Holders and SSN Applications, 

60–0058, 75 FR 82121 (Dec. 29, 2010) as 

amended at 78 FR 40542 (July 5, 2013) 

and 79 FR 8780 (Feb. 13, 2014); and the 

Master Beneficiary Record (MBR), 60– 

0090, 71 FR 1826 (Jan. 11, 2006), as 

amended at 72 FR 69723 (Dec. 10, 2007) 

and 78 FR 40542 (July 5, 2013).

Extension: 

Rule 15g–4; [SEC File No. 270–347, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0393] 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

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

existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 15g–4—Disclosure 

of compensation to brokers or dealers 

(17 CRF 240.15g–4) under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.). 

Rule 15g–4 requires brokers and 

dealers effecting transactions in penny 

stocks for or with customers to disclose 

the amount of compensation received by 

the broker-dealer in connection with the 

transaction. The purpose of the rule is 

to increase the level of disclosure to 

investors concerning penny stocks 

generally and specific penny stock 

transactions. 

The Commission estimates that 

approximately 178 broker-dealers will 

each spend an average of approximately 

87.0833333 hours annually to comply 

with this rule. Thus, the total time 

burden is approximately 15,501 hours 

per year. 

Rule 15g–4 contains record retention 

requirements. Compliance with the rule 

is mandatory. The required records are 

available only to the examination staff 

of the Commission and the self 

regulatory organizations of which the 

broker-dealer is a member. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number.

Extension: 

Rule 301 of Regulation ATS; [SEC File No. 

270–451, OMB Control No. 3235–0509] 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of 

extension of the previously approved 

collection of information provided for in 

Rule 301 of Regulation ATS (17 CFR 

242.301) under the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) 

(‘‘Exchange Act’’). 

Regulation ATS provides a regulatory 

structure for alternative trading systems. 

Rule 301 of Regulation ATS contains 

certain record keeping and reporting 

requirements, as well as additional 

obligations that apply only to alternative 

trading systems with significant volume. 

The Rule requires all alternative trading 

systems that wish to comply with 

Regulation ATS to file an initial 

operation report on Form ATS. 

Alternative trading systems are also 

required to supply updates on Form 

ATS to the Commission describing 

material changes to the system, file 

quarterly transaction reports on Form 

ATS–R, and file cessation of operations 

reports on Form ATS. An alternative 

trading system with significant volume 

is required to comply with requirements 

for fair access and systems capacity, 

integrity, and security. Rule 301 also 

imposes certain requirements pertaining 

to written safeguards and procedures to 

protect subscribers’ confidential trading 

information. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

entities subject to the requirements of 

Rule 301 will spend a total of 

approximately 2,687 hours a year to 

comply with the Rule. 

Regulation ATS requires ATSs to 

preserve any records, for at least three 

years, made in the process of complying 

with the systems capacity, integrity and 

security requirements. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

under the PRA unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number.
