Environmental Impacts of the
Alternatives to the Proposed Action
Due to the largely administrative
nature of the proposed action, its
environmental impacts are small.
Therefore, the only alternative the staff
considered is the no-action alternative,
under which the staff would leave
things as they are by simply denying the
amendment request. This no-action
alternative is not feasible because it
conflicts with 10 CFR 30.36(d),
requiring that decommissioning of
byproduct material facilities be
completed and approved by the NRC
after licensed activities cease. The
NRC’s analysis of the Licensee’s final
status survey data confirmed that the
Facility meets the requirements of 10
CFR 20.1402 for unrestricted release and
license termination. Additionally,
denying the amendment request would
result in no change in current
environmental impacts. The
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and the no-action alternative are
therefore similar, and the no-action
alternative is accordingly not further
considered.

Conclusion
The NRC staff has concluded that the
proposed action is consistent with the
NRC’s unrestricted release criteria
specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because
the proposed action will not
significantly impact the quality of the
human environment, the NRC staff
concludes that the proposed action is
the preferred alternative.
Agencies and Persons Consulted
NRC provided a draft of this
Environmental Assessment to the State
of Connecticut’s Department of
Environmental Protection for review on
June 12, 2006. On August 18, 2006, the
State of Connecticut’s Department of
Environmental Protection responded by
electronic mail. The State agreed with
the conclusions of the EA, and
otherwise had no comments.
The NRC staff has determined that the
proposed action is of a procedural
nature, and will not affect listed species
or critical habitat. Therefore, no further
consultation is required under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act. The
NRC staff has also determined that the
proposed action is not the type of
activity that has the potential to cause
effects on historic properties. Therefore,
no further consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC staff has prepared this EA in
support of the proposed action. On the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:48 Sep 15, 2006
Jkt 208001
basis of this EA, the NRC finds that
there are no significant environmental
impacts from the proposed action, and
that preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not warranted.
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that a Finding of No Significant Impact
is appropriate.

Extension: Form 13F; SEC File No. 270–22;
OMB Control No. 3235–0006.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension and
approval of the collection of information
described below.
Section 13(f) 1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 2 (the ‘‘Exchange
Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1)
Adopt rules that create a reporting and
disclosure system to collect specific
information; and (2) disseminate such
information to the public. Form 13f–1 3
under the Exchange Act requires
institutional investment managers that
exercise investment discretion over
accounts—having in the aggregate a fair
market value of at least $100,000,000 of
exchange-traded or NASDAQ-quoted
equity securities—to file quarterly
reports with the Commission on Form
13F.
The information collection
requirements apply to institutional
investment managers that meet the $100
million reporting threshold. Section
13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an
‘‘institutional investment manager’’ as
any person, other than a natural person,
investing in or buying and selling
securities for its own account, and any
person exercising investment discretion
with respect to the account of any other
person. Form 13F under the Exchange

cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Act defines ‘‘investment discretion’’ for
purposes of Form 13F reporting.
The reporting system required by
Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is
intended, among other things, to create
in the Commission a central repository
of historical and current data about the
investment activities of institutional
investment managers, and to improve
the body of factual data available to
regulators and the public.
The Commission staff estimates that
3,378 respondents make approximately
13,512 responses under the rule each
year. The staff estimates that on average,
Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year
to prepare and submit the report. In
addition, the staff estimates that 336
respondents file approximately 1,344
amendments each year. The staff
estimates that on average, Form 13F
filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and
submit amendments to Form 13F. The
total annual burden of the rule’s
requirements for all respondents
therefore is estimated to be 335,090
hours ((3,378 filers × 98.8 hours) + (336
filers × 4 hours)).
The estimate of average burden hours
is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate
is not derived from a comprehensive or
even a representative survey or study of
the costs of Commission rules. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
a person is not required to respond to,
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid control
number.
Please direct general comments
regarding the above information to the
following persons: (i) Desk Officer for
the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Management and
Budget, Room 10102, New Executive
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
requests for extension of the previously
approved collections of information
discussed below.
Form 18 (17 CFR 249.218) is used for
the registration of securities of any
foreign government or political
subdivision on a U.S. exchange. The
information collected is intended to
ensure that the information required to
be filed by the Commission permits
verification of compliance with
securities law requirements and assures
the public availability of the
information. The information provided
is mandatory and all information is
made available to the public upon
request. Form 18 takes approximately 8
hours per response and is filed by
approximately 5 respondents for a total
of 40 annual burden hours. It is
estimated that 100% of the total
reporting burden is prepared by the
company.
Form F–80 (17 CFR 239.41) is used by
large publicly traded Canadian foreign
private issuers registering securities
offered in business combinations and
exchange offers. The information
collected is intended to ensure that the
information required to be filed by the
Commission permits verification of
compliance with securities law
requirements and assures the public
availability of the information. The
information provided is mandatory and
all information is made available to the
public upon request. Form F–80 takes
approximately 2 hours per response and
is filed by 4 issuers for a total annual
burden of 8 hours. The estimated
burden of 2 hours per response was
based upon the amount of time
necessary to compile the registration
statement using the existing Canadian
prospectus plus any additional
information required by the
Commission.

The information collection requirements apply to institutional
investment managers that meet the $100 million reporting threshold.
Section 13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an ``institutional
investment manager'' as any person, other than a natural person,
investing in or buying and selling securities for its own account, and
any person exercising investment discretion with respect to the account
of any other person. Form 13F under the Exchange
[[Page 54695]]
Act defines ``investment discretion'' for purposes of Form 13F
reporting.
The reporting system required by Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act
is intended, among other things, to create in the Commission a central
repository of historical and current data about the investment
activities of institutional investment managers, and to improve the
