or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The affected public includes
the approximately 120 grantees of the
Transitional Housing Assistance Grant
Program (Transitional Housing Program)
whose eligibility is determined by

who are homeless, or in need of
transitional housing or other housing
assistance, as a result of fleeing a
situation of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and

and other organizations, including

victim services providers, domestic
violence or sexual assault coalitions,
other nonprofit, nongovernmental
organizations, or community-based and
culturally specific organizations, that
have a documented history of effective
work concerning domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking.

respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take the 120 respondents (grantees)
approximately one hour to complete the
Semi-Annual Progress Report. The semiannual progress report is divided into
sections that pertain to the different
types of activities that grantees may
engage in and the different types of
grantees that receive funds. A

will only be required to complete the
sections of the form that pertain to its

(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the

to complete the data collection forms is
240 hours, that is 120 grantees
completing a form twice a year with an
estimated completion time for the form

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for approval of
extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in
Rule 9b–1 (17 CFR 240.9b–1), under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.).

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 93 / Monday, May 17, 2021 / Notices
Rule 9b–1 (17 CFR 240.9b–1) sets
forth the categories of information
required to be disclosed in an options
disclosure document (‘‘ODD’’) and
requires the options markets to file an
ODD with the Commission 60 days prior
to the date it is distributed to investors.
In addition, Rule 9b–1 provides that the
ODD must be amended if the
information in the document becomes
materially inaccurate or incomplete and
that amendments must be filed with the
Commission 30 days prior to the
distribution to customers. Finally, Rule
9b–1 requires a broker-dealer to furnish
to each customer an ODD and any
amendments prior to accepting an order
to purchase or sell an option on behalf
of that customer or when approving a
customer’s account for options trading.
There are 16 options markets 1 that
must comply with Rule 9b–1. These
respondents work together to prepare a
single ODD covering options traded on
each market, as well as amendments to
the ODD. These respondents file
approximately 3 amendments per year.
The staff calculates that the preparation
and filing of amendments should take
no more than eight hours per options
market. Thus, the total time burden for
options markets per year is
approximately 384 hours (16 options
markets × 8 hours per amendment × 3
amendments). The estimated cost for an
in-house attorney is $420 per hour,2
resulting in a total internal cost of
compliance for these respondents of
approximately $161,280 per year (384
hours at $420 per hour).
In addition, approximately 1,020
broker-dealers 3 must comply with Rule
9b–1. Each of these respondents will
process an average of 3 new customers
for options each week and, therefore,
will have to furnish approximately 156
1 The sixteen options markets are as follows: BOX
Exchange LLC, Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., Cboe C2
Exchange, Inc., Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc., Cboe
Exchange, Inc., Miami International Securities
Exchange LLC, MIAX Emerald, LLC, MIAX PEARL,
LLC, Nasdaq BX, Inc., Nasdaq GEMX, LLC, Nasdaq
ISE, LLC, Nasdaq MRX, LLC, Nasdaq PHLX LLC,
Nasdaq Options Market (NOM), NYSE Arca, Inc.,
and NYSE American LLC.
2 SIFMA did its last annual survey in 2013 and
will not resume the survey process. Accordingly,
the $420 figure is based on the 2013 figure ($380)
adjusted by the inflation rate calculated using the
Bureau of Labor Statistics’ CPI Inflation Calculator.
The $380 per hour figure for an Attorney is from
SIFMA’s Management & Professional Earnings in
the Securities Industry 2013, modified by
Commission staff to account for an 1,800-hour
work-year and multiplied by 5.35 to account for
bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.
3 The estimate of 1,020 broker-dealers required to
comply with Rule 9b–1 is derived from Item 12 of
the Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235–0012). This
estimate may be high as it includes broker-dealers
that engage in only a proprietary business, and as
a result are not required to deliver an ODD, as well
as those broker-dealers subject to Rule 9b–1.

ODDs per year. The postal mailing or
electronic delivery of the ODD takes
respondents no more than 30 seconds to
complete for an annual compliance
burden for each of these respondents of
approximately 78 minutes or 1.3 hours.
Thus, the total time burden per year for
broker-dealers is approximately 1,326
hours (1,020 broker-dealers × 1.3 hours).
The estimated cost for a general clerk of
a broker-dealer is $63 per hour,4
resulting in a total internal cost of
compliance for these respondents of
approximately $83,538 per year (1,326
hours at $63 per hour).
The total time burden for all
respondents under this rule (both
options markets and broker-dealers) is
approximately 1,710 hours per year (384
+ 1,326), and the total internal cost of
compliance is approximately $244,818
per year ($161,280 + $83,538).
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.

4 The $63 figure is based on the 2013 figure ($57)
adjusted for inflation. See supra note 2. As noted
above, SIFMA did its last annual survey in 2013
and will not resume the survey process.
Accordingly, the $63 figure is based on the 2013
figure ($57) adjusted for inflation. The $57 per hour
figure for a General Clerk is from SIFMA’s Office
Salaries in the Securities Industry 2013, modified
by Commission staff to account for an 1,800-hour
work-year and multiplied by 2.93 to account for
bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead.
The staff believes that the ODD would be mailed or
electronically delivered to customers by a general
clerk of the broker-dealer or some other equivalent
position.

2021–006]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE
Clear Credit LLC; Order Approving
Proposed Rule Change Relating to the
ICC Clearing Rules and ICC Exercise
Procedures
May 11, 2021.

I. Introduction
On March 25, 2021, ICE Clear Credit
LLC (‘‘ICC’’) filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) 1 and
Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2 a proposed rule
change to revise the ICC Clearing Rules
(the ‘‘Rules’’) and the ICC Exercise
Procedures (‘‘Exercise Procedures’’) in
connection with the clearing of credit
default index Swaptions (‘‘Index
Swaptions’’).3 The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the
Federal Register on April 7, 2021.4 The
Commission did not receive comments
regarding the proposed rule change. For
the reasons discussed below, the
Commission is approving the proposed
rule change.
II. Description of the Proposed Rule
Change
ICC proposes revising its Rules and
Exercise Procedures related to the
clearing of Index Swaptions.5 In the
case of Index Swaptions cleared by ICC,
the underlying index credit default
swap is limited to certain CDX and
iTraxx index credit default swaps that
are accepted for clearing by ICC and
which would be automatically cleared
by ICC upon exercise of the Index
Swaption. ICC proposes minor revisions
to support the clearing of Index
Swaptions, including updates related to
iTraxx Index Swaptions, an
enhancement to the exercise and
assignment process, and other
clarifications.
A. Rule Amendments
The proposed amendments consist of
minor revisions to Rule 26R–319, which
addresses procedures for settlement of
an exercised Index Swaption.
