The review of this information ensures that all payments made by NRC for valid and reasonable costs are in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. Submit, by June 4, 2012, 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. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected? 4. How can the burden of the information collection be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology? The public may examine and have copied for a fee publicly available documents, including the draft supporting statement, at the NRC's Public Document Room, Room O-1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

Small Business Investment Companies-Conflicts of Interest and Investment of Idle Funds
Document Number: 2012-8017
Type: Rule
Date: 2012-04-04
Agency: Small Business Administration, Agencies and Commissions
The U.S. Small Business Administration is revising a rule which prohibits a small business investment company (SBIC) from providing financing to an Associate, as defined in the rules, unless it first obtains a conflict of interest exemption from SBA. The revision eliminates the requirement for an exemption in the case of a follow-on investment in a small business concern by an SBIC and an Associate investment fund, where both parties invested previously on the same terms and conditions and where the follow-on investment would also be on the same terms and conditions as well as in the same proportions. In addition, this rule implements two provisions of the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended. First, it brings the public notice requirement for conflict of interest transactions into conformity with statutory requirements. Second, it expands the types of investments an SBIC is permitted to make with its ``idle funds'' (cash that is not immediately needed for fund operations or investments in small business concerns). Finally, the rule makes two technical corrections: Removing an outdated cross-reference; and eliminating a section that exactly duplicates a provision found elsewhere in part 107.

Document Number: 2012-7978
Type: Notice

Agency: Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, Agencies and Commissions
The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (Agency) published a document in the April 14, 1987, Federal Register, 52 FR 12065, pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, as amended, in order to describe its new system of records. This system of records included FRTIB-1. On May 7, 1990, the Agency published a notice making the system of records final. 55 FR 18949. The 1990 publication of FRTIB-1 purported to account for each routine use and to provide justification for each deleted routine use. However, subpart ``r'' was deleted without justification. Internal Agency documents show that routine use ``r'' was omitted from the 1990 publication as a result of scrivener's error. Therefore, since this omission was unintentional, routine use ``r'' has been in effect since the 1987 publication. In order to reform the system of records to the Agency's intent, this notice restores routine use ``r'' to the 1990 notice and to each subsequent version (FR Doc. 90-10373, FR Doc. 94-12321, FR Doc. 99- 23830, FR Doc. E9-887) of FRTIB-1. This deletion was a technical error, and is hereby corrected.
