11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

12For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule change’s impact on efficiency, 

competition, and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 13 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,7 which 

requires, among other things, that the 

Association’s rules must be designed to 

prevent fraudulent and manipulative 

acts and practices, to promote just and 

equitable principles of trade, and, in 

general, to protect investors and the 

public interest. FINRA believes that the 

proposed rule change will assist in the 

efficient administration of arbitrations 

by correcting typographical errors in its 

rules and ensuring consistent spelling of 

terms throughout the Codes. FINRA 

believes these technical, nonsubstantive amendments will enhance 

the Codes by making them easier to 

understand and apply. 

B. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Burden on Competition 

FINRA does not believe that the 

proposed rule change will result in any 

burden on competition that is not 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of the Act, as amended. 

C. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement on Comments on the 

Proposed Rule Change Received From 

Members, Participants, or Others 

Written comments were neither 

solicited nor received by FINRA. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change and Timing for 

Commission Action 

Because the foregoing proposed rule 

change does not: (i) Significantly affect 

the protection of investors or the public 

interest; (ii) impose any significant 

burden on competition; and (iii) become 

operative for 30 days from the date on 

which it was filed, or such shorter time 

as the Commission may designate, it has 

become effective pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 and Rule 19b– 

4(f)(6) thereunder.9 A proposed rule 

change filed under Rule 19b–4(f)(6) 10

normally does not become operative 

prior to 30 days after the date of the 

filing. However, pursuant to Rule19b– 

4(f)(6)(iii),11 the Commission may 

designate a shorter time if such action 

is consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest. FINRA 

has asked the Commission to waive the 

30-day operative delay so that the 

proposal may become operative 

immediately upon filing. Such waiver 

would permit FINRA to implement 

these changes without delay, making the 

Codes easier to understand and apply. 

The Commission believes it is 

consistent with the protection of 

investors and the public interest to 

waive the 30-day operative delay for 

this reason, and hereby grants such 

waiver.12

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.

(SSA). 

ACTION: Notice of upcoming quarterly 

panel meeting. 

DATES: June 10, 2009, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Type of meeting: The meeting is open 

to the public. 

Purpose: This discretionary Panel, 

established under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act of 1972, as amended, 

shall report to the Commissioner of 

Social Security. The Panel will provide 

independent advice and 

recommendations on plans and 

activities to replace the Dictionary of 

Occupational Titles used in the Social 

Security Administration’s (SSA) 

disability determination process. The 

Panel will advise the Agency on 

creating an occupational information 

system tailored specifically for SSA’s 

disability programs and adjudicative 

needs. Advice and recommendations 

will relate to SSA’s disability programs 

in the following areas: Medical and 

vocational analysis of disability claims; 

occupational analysis, including 

definitions, ratings and capture of 

physical and mental/cognitive demands 

of work and other occupational 

information critical to SSA disability 

programs; data collection; use of 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 13, 2009 / Notices 22623 

occupational information in SSA’s 

disability programs; and any other 

area(s) that would enable SSA to 

develop an occupational information 

system suited to its disability programs 

and improve the medical-vocational 

adjudication policies and processes. 

Agenda: The Panel will meet on 

Wednesday, June 10, 2009, from 8:30 

a.m.until 5 p.m. (CDT) and Thursday, 

June 11, 2009, from 8:30 a.m. until 12 

p.m. (CDT). The agenda will be 

available on the Internet at http:// 

www.socialsecurity.gov/oidap/ one 

week prior to the meeting. 

The tentative agenda for this meeting 

includes: Presentations by stakeholder 

organizations for the purpose of 

identifying perceived gaps that 

currently exist between the 

occupational information available in 

the DOT and that is believed necessary 

to adjudicate claims in SSA’s disability 

programs to ensure a proper assessment 

of the claimants’ abilities to do their 

past work and, if not, their abilities to 

do any other work in the economy given 

the claimants’ work histories and the 

physical, mental, or cognitive 

limitations resulting from claimants’ 

impairments. There will be discussion 

and identification of areas where 

additional or new occupational 

information is needed, for example, as 

it relates to the physical or mental 

demands of work, educational 

requirements of work, work settings, 

and work skills. The Panel will hear 

presentations on taxonomic issues and 

proposed methodologies for developing 

a classification system. The Panel will 

discuss and deliberate on issues 

relevant to the Panel’s recommendations 

and hold an administrative business 

meeting. 

The Panel will hear public comment 

during the Quarterly Meeting on 

Wednesday, June 10, 2009, from 2:30 

p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (CDT). Members of the 

public must schedule a time slot— 

assigned on a first come, first served

other Panel business.
