Bias uncertainty: a measure of both the
accuracy and precision of the calculations
and the uncertainty in the experimental data.
Calculational method: includes the
hardware platform, operating system,
computer algorithms and methods, nuclear
reaction data, and methods used to construct
computer models.
Critical experiment: a fissionable system
that has been experimentally determined to
be critical (with keff ≈ 1).
Margin of safety: the difference between
the actual value of a parameter and the value
of the parameter at which the system is
expected to be critical with critical defined
as keff = 1 = bias = bias uncertainty.
Margin of subcriticality (MoS): the
difference between the actual value of keff
and the value of keff at which the system is
expected to be critical with critical defined
as keff = 1 = bias = bias uncertainty.
Minimum margin of subcriticality (MMS): a
minimum allowed margin of subcriticality,
which is an allowance for any unknown
uncertainties in calculating keff.
Subcritical limit: the bounding value of a
controlled parameter under normal case
conditions.
Upper subcritical limit (USL): the
maximum allowed value of keff (including
uncertainty in keff), under both normal and
credible abnormal conditions, including
allowance for the bias, the bias uncertainty,
and a minimum margin of subcriticality.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information

plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension

Regulation Blackout Trade Restriction
(‘‘Regulation BTR’’) clarifies the scope
and application of Section 306(a) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (‘‘Act’’).
Section 306(a)(6) of the Act requires an
issuer to provide timely notice to its
directors and executive officers and to
the Commission of the imposition of a
blackout period that would trigger the

statutory trading prohibition of Section
306(a)(1). Approximately 1,230 issuers
file Regulation BTR notices annually.
We estimate that it takes 2 hours per
response for an issuer to draft a notice
to directors and executive officers for a
total annual burden of 2,460 hours. The
issuer prepares 75% of the 2,460 annual
burden hours for a total reporting
burden of (1,230 × 2 × .75) 1,845 hours.
In addition, we estimate that an issuer
distributes a notice to five directors and
executive officers at an estimated 5
minutes per notice (1,230 blackout
period × 5 notices × 5 minutes) for a
total reporting burden of 512 hours. The
combined annual reporting burden is
(1,845 hours + 512 hours) 2,357 hours.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collections of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.

Regulation G under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Exchange
Act’’) requires registrants that publicly
disclose material information that
includes a non-GAAP financial measure
to provide a reconciliation to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial
measure. Regulation G implemented the
requirements of Section 401 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We
estimate that approximately 14,000
public companies must comply with
Regulation G approximately six times a
year for a total of 84,000 responses
annually. We estimated that it takes
approximately .5 hours per response
(84,000 × .5 hours) for a total reporting
burden of 42,000 hours annually.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
