of a previously approved information
collection, Declaration for Federal
Employment (OF 306).
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until September 5,
2019. This process is conducted in
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget by the following method: http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
All submissions received must include
the agency name and docket number for
this document. The general policy for
comments and other submissions from
members of the public is to make these
submissions available for public
viewing at http://www.regulations.gov
as they are received without change,
including any personal identifiers or
contact information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A
copy of this information collection, with
applicable supporting documentation,
may be obtained by contacting Office of
Personnel Management, Suitability
Executive Agent Programs, 1900 E Street
NW, Suite 1435, Washington, DC 20415
or by electronic mail at SuitEA@
opm.gov. Please contact Colleen
Crowley at 202–606–2245 if you have
questions.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1), OPM
is providing an additional 30 days for
public comments. OPM previously
solicited comments for this collection,
with a 60-day public comment period,
at 84 FR 5733 (February 22, 2019). 2,748
comments were received. This notice
announces that OPM has submitted to
OMB a request to renew with no
changes a previously approved
information collection, OMB number
3206–0182, Declaration for Federal
Employment (OF 306). The public has
an additional 30-day opportunity to
comment.
The Declaration for Federal
Employment Optional Form (OF) 306 is
completed by applicants who are under
consideration for Federal or Federal
contract employment. It collects
information about an applicant’s
selective service registration, military
service, and general background. The
information collected on this form is
mainly used to determine a person’s
acceptability for Federal and Federal
contract employment, and his or her
retirement status and life insurance
enrollment. However, if necessary, and
usually in conjunction with another

PO 00000

Frm 00104

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

38305

form or forms, the information on this
form may be used in conducting an
investigation to determine a person’s
suitability or ability to hold a security
clearance, and it may be disclosed to
authorized officials making similar,
subsequent determinations. The OF 306
permits applicants to disclose and
explain their personal history in
advance of the background
investigation, consistent with a Privacy
Act requirement to ‘‘collect information
to the greatest extent practicable directly
from the subject individual when the
information may result in adverse
determinations about an individual’s
rights, benefits, and privileges under
Federal programs.’’ See 5 U.S.C.
552a(3)(2).
The OF 306 requests that the
applicant provide personal identifying
data, including past convictions,
imprisonments, probations, paroles or
military court martial, delinquency on a
Federal debt, Selective Service
Registration, United States military
service, Federal civilian or military
retirement benefits received or applied
for, and life insurance enrollment. To be
clear, providing information regarding
past criminal conduct does not in itself
impact an individual’s eligibility for
most positions in the federal
government. Renewal of the form is not
changing any current policies.
In the February 22, 2019 Federal
Register Notice, OPM proposed to
change the form to provide clarification
for respondents who may have
completed pretrial diversionary
programs.
OPM has decided to renew the form
in its current state, without the
modifications proposed in the February
22, 2019 Federal Register Notice. This
will permit OPM time to carefully
evaluate and consider the 2,748
comments submitted during the
comment period by members of the
public and other stakeholders. We will
take these comments into consideration
to evaluate the best way forward to
allow for both continuing to support
second chance hiring initiatives and
providing federal agencies with the
ability to make informed hiring and
vetting decisions.
OPM supports efforts by the
Administration and Congress to take
steps to reform the criminal justice
system and improve second chance
hiring employment opportunities. For
most federal jobs, questions regarding
criminal history do not appear on initial
job applications, and agencies do
consider people with criminal records
when filling most government positions
if they are the best candidates and can
comply with existing requirements.

Later in the process, generally after
there has been a conditional offer of
employment, individuals seeking
admission to the civil service are asked
to complete a Declaration for Federal
Employment (OF 306) and undergo an
investigation to establish ‘‘suitability’’
or fitness for employment. See 5 CFR
330.1300.
Past criminal conduct does not
prohibit a person from being hired into
the vast majority of federal jobs, and
each decision is determined on a case
by case basis.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4
thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that
on July 18, 2019, MIAX Emerald, LLC
(‘‘MIAX Emerald’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) a
proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have
been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s
Statement of the Terms of Substance of
the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange is filing a proposal to
amend Exchange Rule 518, Complex
1 15
2 17

U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
CFR 240.19b–4.

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:21 Aug 05, 2019

The Exchange proposes to amend
Exchange Rule 518, Complex Orders, to
amend subsection (d)(7), Allocation at
the Conclusion of a Complex Auction,
to adopt a new parenthetical to existing
rule text to state that orders and quotes
executed in a Complex Auction 3 will be
allocated first in price priority based on
their original limit price (or protected
price, as described in Interpretation and
Policy .05., if price protection is
engaged).
Currently, subsection (d)(7) of the
Rule provides that orders and quotes
executed in a Complex Auction will be
allocated first in price priority based on
their original limit price, and thereafter
as follows, and the Rule lists six
different scenarios which influence
allocation. The Exchange is proposing to
adopt the parenthetical, ‘‘or protected
price if price protection, as described in
Interpretation and Policy .05., is
engaged’’ after the term ‘‘original limit
price’’ to improve the fairness and
consistency of allocations among
participants at the end of a Complex
Auction.
Under the proposal, allocations will
continue to be calculated based on
original limit price, with the exception
that if price protection is engaged,
3 See

Jkt 247001

PO 00000

Exchange Rule 518(d).

Frm 00105

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

allocation will then be based on the
order’s protected price as opposed to the
order’s original limit price. The
following examples using the MPC
Protection better illustrate this
scenario.4
Example #1A
End of Complex Auction Allocation
Using Current Allocation Methodology
icEBBO 5/dcEBBO 6 1.75 × 2.00
cNBBO 7 1.85 × 1.95
MPC 0.05
MPC Protection:
cNBB 8¥MPC (1.85¥0.05 = 1.80)
cNBO 9 + MPC (1.95 + 0.05 = 2.00)
Complex Order 1 (CO1) Buy 10 @2.00
(Auction on Arrival) 10
CO1 marked AOA initiates an auction
upon receipt.
4 The Exchange notes that the System provides a
number of price protections as described in Policy
.05. of Interpretations and Policies to this Rule.
Price protections include a Vertical Spread
Variance price protection (.05.(a)); a Calendar
Spread Variance price protection (.05.(b)); an
Implied Away Best Bid or Offer (‘‘ixABBO’’) price
protection. The ixABBO price protection feature is
a price protection mechanism under which, when
in operation as requested by the submitting
Member, a buy order will not be executed at a price
that is higher than each other single exchange’s best
displayed offer for the complex strategy, and under
which a sell order will not be executed at a price
that is lower than each other single exchange’s best
displayed bid for the complex strategy (.05.(d)); and
a Complex MIAX Emerald Price Collar (‘‘MPC’’)
price protection (.05.(f)).
5 Implied Complex MIAX Emerald Best Bid or
offer (‘‘icEBBO’’). The icEBBO is a calculation that
uses the best price from the Simple Order Book for
each component of a complex strategy including
displayed and non-displayed trading interest. For
stock-option orders, the icEBBO for a complex
strategy will be calculated using the best price
(whether displayed or non-displayed) on the
Simple Order Book in the individual option
component(s), and the NBBO in the stock
component. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(12).
6 Displayed Complex MIAX Emerald Best Bid or
Offer (‘‘dcEBBO’’). The dcEBBO is calculated using
the best displayed price for each component of a
complex strategy from the Simple Order Book. For
stock-option orders, the dcEBBO for a complex
strategy will be calculated using the Exchange’s best
displayed bid or offer in the individual option
component(s) and the NBBO in the stock
component. See Exchange Rule 518(a)(8).
7 The Complex National Best Bid or Offer
(‘‘cNBBO’’) is calculated using the NBBO for each
component of a complex strategy to establish the
best net bid and offer for a complex strategy. See
Exchange Rule 100.
8 NBB means the National Best Bid.
9 NBO means the National Best Offer.
10 A ‘‘Complex Auction-on-Arrival’’ or ‘‘cAOA’’
order is a complex order designated to be placed
into a Complex Auction upon receipt or upon
evaluation. Complex orders that are not designated
as cAOA will, by default, not initiate a Complex
Auction upon arrival, but except as described
herein will be eligible to participate in a Complex
Auction that is in progress when such complex
order arrives or if placed on the Strategy Book may
participate in or may initiate a Complex Auction,
following evaluation conducted by the System (as
described in subparagraph (d) below).[sic] See
Exchange Rule 518(b)(2)(i).
