To comply with the Congressional mandate, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is changing its regulations to expand the definition of byproduct material to include the following materials produced, extracted, or converted after extraction for use for commercial, medical, or research activities: (1) Discrete sources of radium-226, (2) accelerator-produced radioactive material, and (3) discrete sources of naturally occurring radioactive material, other than source material, that the Commission, in consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and other appropriate Federal agencies, determines would pose a threat to public health and safety or the common defense and security similar to the threat posed by a discrete source of radium-226. To aid in the rulemaking process, NRC is holding a public meeting with a ‘‘roundtable’’ format (defined further in the body of this notice) to solicit input, that may be useful in drafting a proposed rule, from stakeholders. The meeting is open to the public, and all interested parties may attend. Individuals unable to attend the meeting will be able to listen by teleconference. November 9, 2005, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.; however, all persons planning to attend the meeting are encouraged to preregister in order to facilitate security check-in on the day of the meeting.

The NRC is conducting a rulemaking to revise its regulations to expand the definition of byproduct material to include: (1) Any discrete source of radium-226 that is produced, extracted, or converted after extraction for use for commercial, medical, or research activities; (2) accelerator-produced radioactive material that is produced, extracted, or converted after extraction for use for commercial, medical, or research activities; and (3) any discrete source of naturally occurring radioactive material, other than source material, that is extracted or converted after extraction for use for commercial, medical, or research activities that the Commission determines, in consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the head of any other appropriate Federal agency, would pose a threat to public health and safety or the common defense and security similar to the threat posed by discrete sources of radium-226. NRC is holding a public meeting on November 9, 2005 to solicit input from stakeholders on the regulation of NARM. The format for this public meeting will be a ‘‘roundtable’’ format. Participants at the roundtable will be the invited representatives of the broad spectrum of interests who may be affected by this rulemaking. The roundtable format is being used for this meeting to promote a dialogue among the representatives at the table on the issues of concern. Although the focus of the discussion will be on the invited participants at the table, an opportunity will be provided for comment and questions from the audience.

The Issuer stated that the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the Issuer to list the Security on NYSE, and is withdrawing the Security on Amex in order to avoid direct and indirect costs and the division of the market resulting from dual listing on Amex and NYSE. The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in effect in the state of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and provided written notice of withdrawal to Amex. The Issuer’s application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on Amex, and shall not affect its continued listing on NYSE or its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Act.3 Any interested person may, on or before November 15, 2005, comment on the facts bearing upon whether the Paper Comments • Send paper comments in triplicate to Jonathan G.

To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $1.00 Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. October 25, 2005. On September 22, 2005, SBC Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation (‘‘Issuer’’), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 12d2–2(d) thereunder,2 to withdraw its common stock, $1.00 par value (‘‘Security’’), from listing and registration on the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘CHX’’). The Board of Directors (‘‘Board’’) of the Issuer approved a resolution on July 23, 2003 to, among other things, authorize certain officers of the Issuer to list or delist any of the Issuer’s securities on or from any United States or foreign exchange, except to delist the Security from the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘NYSE’’). The Issuer stated that the following reasons factored into its decision to withdraw the Security from CHX. First, the Issuer stated that the Security only infrequently trades on CHX. Over the past 12 months, shares of the Security traded on CHX represented 2% of the total shares of the Security traded on all national exchanges. Substantially all of the Security is traded on NYSE and in the over-the-counter market. Second, the Issuer intends to continue listing the Security on NYSE. The Security is registered under Section 12(b) of the Act,3 and the Issuer is subject to the periodic and current reporting requirements under Section 13 of the Act.4 Third, the continued listing of the Security is costly and unjustified, in the Issuer’s opinion, in light of the limited trading volume of the Security. The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with applicable rules of CHX by complying with all applicable laws in the State of Delaware, the state in which the Issuer is incorporated, and by providing CHX with the required documents governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on CHX. The Issuer’s application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing 1 15 U.S.C. 78l(d). 2 17 CFR 240.12d2–2(d). 3 15 U.S.C. 78l(b). U.S.C. 78l(d).
