8Telephone conversation between Donald 

Siemer, Director, Market Surveillance, NYSE and 

Ronesha Butler, Special Counsel, and Sara Gillis, 

Attorney, Division of Market Regulation, 

Commission on October 6, 2005.

meeting other requirements, pass an 

examination prescribed by the 

Exchange. 

The volume and speed of the market 

has increased dramatically since CTs 

and RCMMs were first created, and 

significant changes have occurred with 

respect to market dynamics. The 

Exchange believes that these changes 

coupled with the Exchange’s move to a 

Hybrid Market makes this review timely 

and appropriate. Currently there are 

only 11 active RCMMs, and the sole CT 

has not been active for several years. As 

part of this review, the Exchange will 

consider the diminished impact and 

usage of RCMMs and the effective nonusage of the CT status, the resources 

required to surveil their trading, and the 

significant market timing and 

informational advantage that they enjoy. 

The Exchange will also examine any 

regulatory requirements needed to 

increase market maker liquidity 

obligations. 

The Exchange will issue an 

Information Memo announcing the 

moratorium. The Exchange notes that 

the proposed moratorium will not 

impact those members currently 

registered as CTs and RCMMs. 

Accordingly, during the period that the 

moratorium is in place, NYSE Rules 110 

and 111 and NYSE Rule 107A will 

continue to govern the actions of current 

CTs and RCMMs, respectively.8 The 

Exchange will promptly file for 

approval with the Commission any 

changes to the existing rules that the 

Exchange determines are warranted 

upon completion of its review. 

2. Statutory Basis 

The Exchange believes that the basis 

under the Act for this proposed rule 

change is the requirement under Section 

6(b)(5) 9 that an Exchange have rules 

that are designed to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, to foster 

cooperation and coordination with 

persons engaged in regulating, clearing, 

settling, processing information with 

respect to, and facilitating transactions 

in securities, to remove impediments to 

and perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and a national market 

system and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

The Exchange does not believe that 

the proposed rule change will impose 

any burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

The Exchange has neither solicited 

nor received written comments on the 

proposed rule change. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the proposed rule change: (i) 

Does not significantly affect the 

protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) does not impose any 

significant burden on competition; and 

(iii) does not become operative for 30 

days after the date of the filing, or such 

shorter time as the Commission may 

designate if consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest, the proposed rule change has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 10 and Rule 19b–

4(f)(6) thereunder.11 At any time within 

60 days of the filing of such proposed 

rule change, the Commission may 

summarily abrogate such rule change if 

it appears to the Commission that such 

action is necessary or appropriate in the 

public interest, for the protection of 

investors, or otherwise in furtherance of 

the purposes of the Act. 

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. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

Records and Proposed Routine Uses. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

our intent to establish a new system of 

records entitled Reasonable 

Accommodation for Persons With 

Disabilities (RAPD) System, 60–0315, 

and routine uses applicable to this 

system of records. Hereinafter, we will 

refer to the proposed system of records 

as the RAPD System. The proposed 

system of records will consist of 

information used to provide reasonable 

accommodations to qualified employees 

on the basis of disability, the disposition 

of the requests and the reasonable 

accommodations provided. We invite 

public comments on this proposal. 

DATES: We filed a report of the proposed 

new system of records and proposed 

routine use disclosures with the 

Chairman of the Senate Committee on 

Homeland Security and Governmental 

Affairs, the Chairman of the House 

Committee on Government Reform, and 

the Director, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) on 

October 19, 2005. The proposed system 

of records and routine uses will become 

effective on November 28, 2005, unless 

we receive comments warranting it not 

to become effective.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Purpose of the 

Proposed New System of Records 

Entitled the RAPD System 

A. General Background 

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended, prohibits certain employers 

from discriminating based on disability. 

Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 

U.S.C. 791) applies to Federal agencies 

and requires that agencies provide 

reasonable accommodation to qualified 

employees or applicants with 

disabilities. Executive Order (E.O.) 

13164 requires that Federal agencies 

establish written procedures to facilitate 

the provision of reasonable 

accommodation. An accommodation is 

a change in the work environment or in 

the way things are customarily done 

that would enable a qualified individual 

with a disability to enjoy equal 

employment opportunities. There are 

three categories of reasonable 

accommodations: 

• Modifications or adjustments to a 

job application process for a qualified 

individual with a disability to be 

considered for a job (such as providing 

application forms in alternative formats 

like large print or Braille); 

• Modifications or adjustments 

necessary to enable a qualified 

individual with a disability to perform 

the essential functions of the job (such 

as providing sign language interpreters); 

and 

• Modifications or adjustments that 

enable qualified employees with 

disabilities to enjoy equal benefits and 

privileges of employment (such as 

removing physical barriers in an office 

or cafeteria). 

The SSA will process requests for 

reasonable accommodations and, where 

appropriate, provide reasonable 

accommodations to qualified employees 

and applicants for employment in a 

prompt, fair and efficient manner. 

B. Collection and Maintenance of the 

Data for the Proposed New System of 

Records Entitled the RAPD System 

SSA will collect and maintain the 

information that will be housed in the 

RAPD System from employees who 

have requested reasonable 

accommodation from SSA officials. 

The information maintained in this 

system of records will be maintained in 

manual and electronic formats and will 

include information on all reasonable 

accommodation requests made by 

employees. Specifically, it will contain: 

(1) The employee’s name, Social 

Security number (SSN), medical 

information collected in the process, 

number and type of requests made, 

whether those requests have been 

granted or denied; (2) the jobs 

(occupational series, grade level, and 

Agency component) for which 

reasonable accommodations have been 

requested; (3) the types of reasonable 

accommodations that have been 

requested for each of those jobs; (4) the 

number and types of reasonable 

accommodation requests for each job, by 

Agency component, that have been 

approved, and the number and types 

denied; (5) the number and types of 

requests that relate to the benefits or 

privileges of employment, and whether 

those requests have been granted or 

denied; (6) reasons for denial; (7) 

amount of time to process each request; 

and (8) sources of technical assistance
