Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 74 Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material. 2. Current OMB approval number: 3150-0123. 3. How often the collection is required: Submission is a one-time requirement which has been completed by all current licensees.

Other reports are submitted as events occur. 4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons licensed under 10 CFR 70 who possess and use certain forms and quantities of Special Nuclear Material (SNM). 5. The number of annual respondents: 19. 6.

Abstract: 10 CFR part 74 establishes requirements for material control and accounting of SNM, and specific performance-based regulations for licensees authorized to possess, use and produce strategic special nuclear material, and special nuclear material of moderate strategic significance and low strategic significance.

Submission or retention of the information is mandatory for persons subject to the requirements. Submit, by September 5, 2008, comments that address the following questions: 1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the burden estimate accurate? 3.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'') is requesting comment on whether to exempt certain over-the-counter (``OTC'') swaps from certain of the requirements otherwise imposed by Commission Regulation 35.2. Specifically, the petitioners request authority to clear certain agricultural swaps. This exemption has been requested by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc. (``CME''), a registered derivatives clearing organization (``DCO''), and the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc. (``CBOT''), a designated contract market.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection for the OPM Form 1644. Approval for the OPM Form 1644, Child Care Provider Information for the Child Care Subsidy Program for Federal Employees, is used to verify that child care providers are licensed or regulated by local or State authorities, as appropriate. Section 630 of Public Law 107-67, which was enacted on November 12, 2001, permits Federal agencies to use appropriated funds to help their lower income employees with their costs for child care provided by a contractor licensed or regulated by local or State authorities, as appropriate. Therefore, agencies need to verify that child care providers to whom they make disbursements in the form of child care subsidies meet the statutory requirement. Approximately 3500 OPM 1644 forms will be completed annually. We estimate it will take 10 minutes to complete the OPM Form 1644. The annual estimated burden is 333.3 hours. For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or e-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please be sure to include a mailing address with your request.
