18766 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 1996 / Notices

1The Exchange is also proposing to amend

Article XII, Section 2 of the Exchange Constitution,

Composition of the Emergency Committee

(‘‘Committee’’). This Section currently provides that

the Committee is to be composed of the Chairman

of the Board of Governors, the Vice-Chairman of the

Board, and the three senior members of the Board

who are regular, options, principal, associate or

allied members of the Exchange (‘‘Trading

Members’’). The proposed amendment would

change the composition of the Committee such that

any Executive Vice-Chairman or President would be

on the Committee, and thus only two Trading

Members would be on the Committee. 2 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

proposed rule change. The text of these

statements may be examined at the

places specified in Item IV below. The

Amex has prepared summaries, set forth

in sections A, B, and C below, of the

most significant aspects of such

statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement of the Purpose of, and

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule

Change

1. Purpose

Board Position Amendments

Article II, Section 2 of the Exchange

Constitution currently calls for the

appointment of one Vice-Chairman from

among the Exchange members serving

on the Board, and it has been customary

over the years to rotate between the

trading floor and ‘‘upstairs’’

communities as the source of that ViceChairman. Given the importance of both

these communities to the Exchange, it is

desirable to be able to have one ViceChairman from each constituency.

Accordingly, the proposed amendments

will permit (but not require) the

appointment of two member ViceChairmen, and will specify that if there

are two Vice-Chairmen, one must come

from the trading floor and one from

upstairs.

The Exchange would also like to

create a new position of Executive ViceChairman, who will be the second

highest ranking officer of the Exchange

and who will serve as a member of the

Board of Governors. If the Executive

Vice-Chairman position is not filled and

the Exchange has a President, then the

President will serve on the Board.1 If at

any time neither of those offices are

filled, then the Chief Executive would

be the only non-elected member of the

Board.

Third Term Amendment

It has become apparent that at times

the special limitations in the

Constitution relating to which kind of

Governors can serve third terms at any

given time could be a limitation on

having the best possible slate of public

Governor candidates. Accordingly, it is

proposed that the Exchange increase

from two to three the maximum number

of third term Governors who can be

representatives of the public. There is

no change to the overall limitation that

no more than four third-term Governors

may be serving at one time.

2. Basis

The Exchange believes that the

proposed rule change is consistent with

Section 6(b) of the Act, in general, and

furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5)

in particular, in that it protects investors

and the public interest.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Burden on Competition

The Amex does not believe that the

proposed rule change will impose any

inappropriate burden on competition.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s

Statement on Comments on the

Proposed Rule Change Received from

Members, Participants or Others

No written comments were solicited

or received with respect to the proposed

rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for

Commission Action

Within 35 days of the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register or within such longer period (i)

as the Commission may designate up to

90 days of such date if it finds such

longer period to be appropriate and

publishes its reasons for so finding or

(ii) as to which the self-regulatory

organization consents, the Commission

will:

(A) By order approve such proposed

rule change, or

(B) Institute proceedings to determine

whether the proposed rule change

should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views and

arguments concerning the foregoing.

Persons making written submissions

should file six copies thereof with the

Secretary, Securities and Exchange

Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of the

submission, all subsequent

amendments, all written statements

with respect to the proposed rule

change that are filed with the

Commission, and all written

communications relating to the

proposed rule change between the

Commission and any person, other than

public in accordance with the

provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be

available for inspection and copying in

the Commission’s Public Reference

Section, 450 Fifth Street, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. Copies of such filing

will also be available for inspection and

File No. SR–Amex–96–14 and should be

submitted by May 20, 1996.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Program.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

provisions of the Privacy Act, this

notice announces a computer matching

program that SSA plans to conduct with

HCFA.

DATES: SSA will file a report of the

subject matching program with the

Committee on Governmental Affairs of

the Senate, the Committee on

Government Reform and Oversight of

the House of Representatives and the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Office of Management and

Budget (OMB). The matching program

will be effective as indicated below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General

The Computer Matching and Privacy

Protection Act of 1988 (Public Law

(Pub. L.) 100–503), amended the Privacy

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) by establishing the

conditions under which computer

matching involving the Federal

Government could be performed and

adding certain protections for

individuals applying for and receiving

Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the

Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 83 / Monday, April 29, 1996 / Notices 18767

1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) further amended

the Privacy Act regarding protections for

such individuals. The Privacy Act, as

amended, regulates the use of computer

matching by Federal agencies when

records in a system of records are

matched with other Federal, State, or

local government records.

Among other things, it requires

Federal agencies involved in computer

matching programs to:

(1) Negotiate written agreements with

the other agency or agencies

participating in the matching programs;

(2) Obtain the Data Integrity Boards’

approval of the match agreements;

(3) Furnish detailed reports about

matching programs to Congress and

OMB;

(4) Notify applicants and beneficiaries

that their records are subject to

matching; and

(5) Verify match findings before

reducing, suspending, terminating or

denying an individual’s benefits or

payments.

B. SSA Computer Matches Subject to

the Privacy Act

We have taken action to ensure that

all of SSA’s computer matching

programs comply with the requirements

of the Privacy Act, as amended.

Dated: April 16, 1996.

Shirley S. Chater,

Commissioner of Social Security.

Notice of Computer Matching Program,

Social Security Administration (SSA)

with the Health Care Financing

Administration (HCFA)

A. Participating Agencies

SSA and HCFA.

B. Purpose of the Matching Program

The purpose of this matching program

is to establish conditions under which

HCFA agrees to the disclosure of

Medicaid facility admission and billing

data. SSA will use the match results to

verify the eligibility of, and the correct

amount of benefits payable to,

individuals under the supplemental

security income (SSI) program, which

provides payments under title XVI of

the Social Security Act (the Act) to aged,

blind and disabled recipients with

income and resources below levels

established by law and regulations, and

federally administered supplementary

payments under Section 1616 of the

Act, including payments under section

212 of Pub. L. 93–66, 87 Stat. 152.

Admission to a Medicaid facility would,

under certain circumstances, subject the

amount of SSI which an individual

could receive for any month throughout

which the individual is in such a

facility to specific statutory limitations.

C. Authority for Conducting the

Matching Program

Section 1611(e) (1) (B) and 1631 (f) of

the Act (42 U.S.C. 1382(e) (1) (B) and

1383 (f)).

D. Categories of Records and

Individuals Covered by the Match

SSA will provide HCFA with

identifying information with respect to

applicants for and recipients of SSI

benefits extracted from SSA’s

Supplemental Security Income Record

to identify individuals potentially

subject to benefit reductions or

termination of payment eligibility under

the statutory provisions listed above.

HCFA will match the SSNs, names, date

of birth, sex and race on this finder file

with its Medicaid Statistical Information

System File and provide a reply file of

SSNs common to both files. HCFA will

also provide SSA with the Medicaid

facility name, address and telephone

number for SSN’s common to both files.

E. Inclusive Dates of the Match

The matching program shall become

effective no sooner than 40 days after a

copy of the agreement, as approved by

the Data Integrity Boards of both

agencies, is sent to Congress and the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) (or later if OMB objects to some

or all of the agreement) or 30 days after

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register, whichever is later. The

matching program will continue for 18

months from the effective date and may

be extended for an additional 12 months

thereafter, if certain conditions are met.
