OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request for Review of a Revised

Information Collection OPM 1530

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.

L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice

announces that the Office of Personnel

Management (OPM) intends to submit to

the Office of Management and Budget a

request for review of a revised

information collection. OPM 1530,

Report of Medical Examination of

Person Electing Survivor Benefits Under

the Civil Service Retirement System, is

used to collect sufficient information

from the required medical examination

regarding an annuitant’s health. This

information is used to determine

whether the insurable interest survivor

benefits election can be allowed.

Comments are particularly invited on:

whether this information is necessary

for the proper performance of functions

of OPM, and whether it will have

practical utility; whether our estimate of

the public burden of this collection of

information is accurate, and based on

valid assumptions and methodology;

and ways in which we can minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, through

the use of appropriate technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

Approximately 500 OPM Forms 1530

will be completed annually. We

estimate it takes approximately 90

minutes to complete the form. The

annual burden is 750 hours.

For copies of this proposal, contact

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

8358, or E-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov.

DATES: Comments on this proposal

should be received on or before April

24, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (The S&P 500 (R)

Protected Equity Fund, Inc., Common

Stock, $.10 Par Value) File No. 1–15437

February 15, 2001.

The S&P 500 (R) Protected Equity

Fund, Inc. (‘‘Issuer’’) has filed an

application with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’),

pursuant to section 12(d) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(‘‘Act’’)1 and Rule 12d2–2(d)2

thereunder, to withdraw its Common

Stock, $.10 par value (‘‘Security’’), from

listing and registration on the New York

Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’).

The Security is currently listed and

registered on the NYSE and designated

for quotation on the National Market of

the Nasdaq Stock Market (‘‘Nasdaq

National Market’’). The Issuer believes

that the dealer market of the Nasdaq

National Market has proven a better

trading environment for its Security

than the auction market of the NYSE. As

a result, the Issuer has determined to

continue quotation of its Security on the

Nasdaq National Market, while

withdrawing it from listing and

registration on the NYSE in order to

avoid the continuing costs of

maintaining such listing.

The Issuer’s application relates solely

to the withdrawal of its Security from

listing on the NYSE and registration

under Section 12(b) of the Act3 and

shall have no effect upon the Security’s

continued designation for quotation on

the Nasdaq National Market and

obligation to be registered under Section

12(g) of the Act.4

The Issuer has stated in its

application that it has complied with

the requirements of NYSE Rule 500

governing the voluntary withdrawal of

common stock from listing and

registration on the exchange.

Any interested person may, on or

before March 9, 2001, submit by letter

to the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549–0609,

facts bearing upon whether the

application has been made in

accordance with the rules of the NYSE

and what terms, if any, should be

imposed by the Commission for the

protection of investors. The

Commission, based on the information

submitted to it, will issue an order

granting the application after the date

mentioned above, unless the

Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.5

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
