securities exchange. The Adviser 

represents that, by allowing the Fund to 

invest in ETFs and closed-end funds 

that invest substantially all of their 

assets in fixed-income securities and 

have such investments count towards 

the Fund’s 80% threshold, the Fund 

may be able to realize its investment 

objective in a more diversified and 

efficient manner than is currently 

available under the Fund’s current 20% 

limitation on non-fixed income 

securities investments. Possible 

increased investments in such ETFs and 

closed-end funds would give the Fund 

access to a diverse set of fixed-income 

securities in an efficient fashion, with 

the liquidity and transparency of a U.S. 

exchange-traded security. 

With respect to the Fund’s operation 

as a diversified Fund, this change was 

made because, in view of the Fund’s 

investments, the Fund has been 

operating in a manner consistent with a 

diversified fund for three years and, 

pursuant to Commission guidance, the 

Fund has amended its disclosure in that 

regard. The revised representation in the 

September 27, 2013 Amendment reflects 

this fact. 

The proposed rule change is designed 

to promote just and equitable principles 

of trade and to protect investors and the 

public interest in that the Adviser 

represents that there is no change to the 

Fund’s investment objective. The Fund 

will continue to comply with all initial 

and continued listing requirements 

under NYSE Arca Equities Rule 8.600. 

The Adviser represents that the purpose 

of the proposed changes is to provide 

additional flexibility to the Adviser to 

meet the Fund’s investment objective, as 

discussed above. 

The proposed rule change is designed 

to perfect the mechanism of a free and 

open market and, in general, to protect 

investors and the public interest in that 

the Fund will continue to comply with 

all initial and continued listing 

requirements under NYSE Arca Equities 

Rule 8.600. The Adviser represents that 

the purpose of the proposed changes is 

to provide additional flexibility to the 

Adviser to meet the Fund’s investment 

objective, as discussed above. The 

Adviser represents that there is no 

change to the Fund’s investment 

objective. Except for the changes noted 

above, all other facts presented and 

representations made in the Prior 

Release remain unchanged. 

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. The 

proposed changes to the Fund’s means 

of achieving the investment objective 

will permit the Fund to adjust its 

portfolio to allow the Fund to continue 

to meet its investment objectives in the 

most efficient manner possible and will 

enhance competition among issues of 

Managed Fund Shares that invest in 

fixed income securities. 

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 45 days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register or within such longer period 

up to 90 days (i) as the Commission may 

designate 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 or disapprove such 

proposed rule change; or (b) institute 

proceedings to determine whether the 

proposed rule change should be 

disapproved. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments

submit written data, views, and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

[Docket No. SSA–2014–0055] 

Charging Standard Administrative 

Fees for Nonprogram-Related 

Information Requests for Detailed 

Social Security Earnings 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of updated schedule of 

standardized administrative fees. 

SUMMARY: On November 8, 2013,1 we 

announced in the Federal Register a 

new administrative fee we charge to the 

public for detailed yearly Social 

Security earnings information. We 

charge administrative fees to recover our 

full costs when we provide information 

and related services for nonprogram 

purposes. We are announcing an update 

to the previously published fee for 

detailed yearly Social Security earning 

information. 

The updated standard fee is part of 

our continuing effort to standardize fees 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

66446 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 216 / Friday, November 7, 2014 / Notices 

2 42 U.S.C. 1306 and 5 U.S.C. 552a, respectively. 

3See 20 CFR 402.170, 402.175; Program 

Operations Manual System (POMS) GN 03311.005. 

for nonprogram information requests. 

We reserve the right to review and 

update the published standard fees as 

necessary, but no less than every two 

years, to ensure the agency recovers the 

full cost of providing nonprogramrelated services. Standard fees provide 

consistency and ensure we recover the 

full cost of supplying information when 

we receive a request for a purpose not 

directly related to the administration of 

a program under the Social Security Act 

(Act). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1106 of the Act and the Privacy Act 2

authorize the Commissioner of Social 

Security to promulgate regulations 

regarding agency records and 

information and to charge fees for 

providing information and related 

services. Our regulations and operating 

instructions identify when we will 

charge fees for information.3 Whenever 

we determine a request for information 

is for any purpose not directly related to 

the administration of the Social Security 

programs, we require the requester to 

pay the full cost of providing the 

information. 

New Information: Based on the most 

recent cost analysis, we determined the 

new standard fee for detailed yearly 

Social Security earnings information is 

$136 for each request. We will certify 

the detailed earnings information for an 

additional $56. Note: Certification is 

usually not necessary. We based this 

updated standard fee on our most recent 

cost calculations for supplying this 

information and the standard fee 

methodology previously published in 

the Federal Register. A requestor can 

obtain certified and non-certified 

detailed yearly Social Security earnings 

information by completing the Form 

SSA–7050 (Request for Social Security 

Earnings Information). A requestor can 

continue to obtain non-certified, yearly 

earnings totals (Form SSA–7004, 

Request for a Social Security Statement) 

through our free online service 

mySocialSecurity, http://

socialsecurity.gov/myaccount/, a 

personal online account for Social 

Security information and services. 

Online Social Security Statements 

display uncertified yearly earnings, free 

of charge, and do not show any 

employer information. Certified yearly 

Social Security earnings totals cost $56, 

available by completing Form SSA– 

7050. 

We will continue to evaluate all 

standard fees at least every two years to 

ensure we capture the full costs 

associated with providing information 

for nonprogram-related purposes. We 

will require nonrefundable advance 

payment of the standard fee by check, 

money order, or credit card. We will not 

accept cash. If we revise any of the 

standard fees, we will publish another 

notice in the Federal Register. For other 

nonprogram-related requests for 

information not addressed here or 

within the current schedule of 

standardized administrative fees, we 

will continue to charge fees calculated 

on a case-by-case basis to recover our 

full cost of supplying the information.
