This series has been developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Regulatory Guide 1.202, ‘‘Standard Format and Content of Decommissioning Cost Estimates for Nuclear Power Reactors,’’ provides guidance for licensees to use in meeting the NRC’s regulatory requirements for the various cost estimates that the agency requires for different stages and methods of decommissioning. Specifically, on July 29, 1996, the NRC amended its regulations on decommissioning procedures that lead to termination of an operating license PO 00000 Frm 00097 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 for nuclear power reactors, as specified in Title 10, Section 50.82, of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.82). That rulemaking included changes to the decommissioning-related provisions of 10 CFR part 2, ‘‘Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of Orders’’; part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities’’; and part 51, ‘‘Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions.’’ Regulatory Guide 1.202 describes a method that the NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with those amended regulations. In November 2001, the NRC staff published a draft of this guide as Draft Regulatory Guide DG–1085. Following the closure of the public comment period on January 30, 2002, the staff resolved all stakeholder comments in the course of preparing the new Regulatory Guide 1.202.

It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of 21st Century Technologies, Inc., (‘‘21st Century’’) because of questions that have been raised about the accuracy of publicly disseminated information concerning, among other things, the valuations assigned to certain purported assets of 21st Century in the company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q and in other filings with the Commission.

Pursuant to 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 January 12, 2005, the American Stock Exchange LLC (‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule change as described in items I, II and III below, which items have been prepared by the Amex. 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 Amex proposes to require members to use and maintain a back-up quoting system in ANTE classes and to incorporate violations of this requirement in the Exchange’s Minor Rule Violation Plan (‘‘Plan’’). The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Amex’s Web site (https:// www.amex.com), at the Amex’s Office of the Secretary, and at the Commission’s Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Amex included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the PO 00000 1 15 2 17 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). CFR 240.19b–4. Frm 00098 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8859 proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in item IV below. The Amex has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The Exchange seeks to amend Amex Rule 950–ANTE(l), Commentary .02(a) to require a Specialist utilizing an Exchange-approved proprietary automatic quote system in a class trading on Amex’s ANTE system to have available for immediate use the Exchange-provided automatic quote system that is independent of the Specialist’s primary automatic quote system. Specialists would be required to take appropriate provisions to immediately fall back onto the Exchange-provided automatic quotation system should their Exchange-approved proprietary automatic quote system fail. Included within ‘‘appropriate provisions’’ would be the requirement that Specialists be diligent in keeping their theoretical values current in their back-up system. This requirement would apply at all times during market hours. The Amex believes that the backup system would need to be independent in order to ensure that any event that could cause a failure to the primary automatic quote system would not corrupt the back-up system. The Exchange believes that the failure of a proprietary automatic quote system could result in the Amex’s inability to open an entire group of listed options classes for a brief or sometimes lengthy time period. Thus, the Amex seeks to require that Specialists have the Exchange-provided automatic quotation system ready, as a back-up, should their primary automatic quote system fail. The Exchange believes that failure to comply with the proposed requirement should be subject to sanction under the Plan. The Exchange has had the Plan since 1976, which provides a simplified procedure for the resolution of minor rule violations. Codified in Amex Rule 590, the Plan has three distinct sections: Part 1 (‘‘General Rule Violations’’) which covers more substantive matters that, nonetheless, are deemed ‘‘minor’’ by the Commission and the Amex; Part 2 (‘‘Floor Decorum’’) which covers Floor Decorum and operational matters; and Part 3 (‘‘Reporting Violations’’) which E:\FR\FM\23FEN1.SGM 23FEN1
