SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
issuing an exemption to BWX
Technologies, Inc. (BWXT), the holder
of NRC special nuclear materials
License SNM–42. The proposed action
would exempt BWXT from certain
requirements set forth in 10 CFR
73.46(b) and Part 73 Appendix B. The
exemptions would authorize the
licensee to allow medical examinations
to be given by licensed nurse
practitioners authorized to practice
medicine by the Commonwealth of
Virginia. The exemptions would allow
such nurses, in addition to licensed
physicians, to give medical
examinations that are required prior to
allowing personnel to participate in
physical fitness tests. The exemptions
would be to requirements stated in 10
CFR 73.46(b)(10)(iii) and (iv);
73.46(b)(11)(iii) and (v); 73.46(b)(12)(ii);
and Part 73 Appendix B paragraphs
I.B.1.b, I.B.2.b, and I.C.
In accordance with the requirements
of 10 CFR Part 51 the NRC has prepared
an Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this action. Based on the EA,
the NRC has concluded that a Finding
of No Significant Impact is appropriate.
If approved, the exemption would be
issued following the publication of this
Notice.
staff has concluded that issuing the
proposed exemptions will not result in
a significant impact to the environment.
The NRC staff concluded that the
proposed action will not adversely
affect federally listed species or
federally designated critical habitat
because no federally listed species are
known to occur in the project area. The
NRC staff found that no historic
properties will be affected by the
proposed action.
The proposed action does not have a
potential to affect the probability or
consequences of accidents; the types or
amounts of effluents; nor occupational
or public radiation exposure. Therefore,
there are no significant radiological
environmental impacts associated with
the proposed action.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
On the basis of the EA, the NRC has
concluded that there are no significant
environmental impacts from the
proposed action, and has determined
that the preparation of an environmental
impact statement is not required.
IV. Further Information
Documents related to this action can

Document Access and Management
System (ADAMS) that provides

comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)

Title and Purpose of Information
Collection
Application and Claim for Sickness
Insurance Benefits; OMB 3220–0039
Under Section 2 of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
sickness benefits are payable to
qualified railroad employees who are
unable to work because of illness or
injury. In addition, sickness benefits are
payable to qualified female employees if
they are unable to work, or if working
would be injurious, because of
pregnancy, miscarriage or childbirth.
Under Section 1(k) of the RUIA, a
statement of sickness with respect to
days of sickness of an employee is to be
filed with the RRB within a 10-day
period from the first day claimed as a
day of sickness. The RRB’s authority for
requesting supplemental medical
information is Section 12(i) and 12(n) of
the RUIA. The procedures for claiming
sickness benefits and for the RRB to
obtain supplemental medical
information needed to determine a
claimant’s eligibility for such benefits
are prescribed in 20 CFR Part 335.
The forms currently used by the RRB
to obtain information needed to
determine eligibility for and the amount
of sickness benefits due a claimant
follows: Form SI–1a, Application for
Sickness Benefits; Form SI–1b,
Statement of Sickness; Form SI–3, Claim
for Sickness Benefits; Form SI–7,
Supplemental Doctor’s Statement; Form
SI–8, Verification of Medical
Information; Form ID–7h, NonEntitlement to Sickness Benefits and
Information on Unemployment Benefits;
Form ID–11a, Requesting Reason for
Late Filing of Sickness Benefit and ID–
11b, Notice of Insufficient Medical and
Late Filing. Completion is required to
obtain or retain benefits. One response
is requested of each respondent.

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 236 / Friday, December 8, 2006 / Notices
The RRB proposes the addition an
equivalent Internet version of Form SI–
3, Claim for Sickness Benefits to the
information collection. The internet
equivalent Form SI–3 will essentially
mirror the manual RRB Form SI–3
currently in use, but will also provide
the claimant the ability to change their
direct deposit information in addition to
the ability to complete and file the claim
via the Internet. Revisions to Form ID–
11a and ID–11b to add an item
requesting information regarding why a
claimant filed their claim late are also
proposed.
No changes are proposed to Form(s)
SI–1b, SI–7, SI–8, and ID–7h. Minor,
non-burden impacting editorial changes
are proposed to Form(s) SI–1a and SI–
3.

Extension:
Rule 17f–6; SEC File No. 270–392; OMB
Control No. 3235–0447.
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’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:05 Dec 07, 2006
Jkt 211001
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 17f–6 (17 CFR 270.17f–6) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a) permits registered
investment companies (‘‘funds’’) to
maintain assets (i.e., margin) with
futures commission merchants
(‘‘FCMs’’) in connection with
commodity transactions effected on
both domestic and foreign exchanges. 1
Prior to the rule’s adoption, funds
generally were required to maintain
these assets in special accounts with a
custodian bank.
The rule requires a written contract
that contains certain provisions
designed to ensure important safeguards
and other benefits relating to the
custody of fund assets by FCMs. To
protect fund assets, the contract must
require that FCMs comply with the
segregation or secured amount
requirements of the Commodity
Exchange Act (‘‘CEA’’) and the rules
under that statute. The contract also
must contain a requirement that FCMs
obtain an acknowledgment from any
clearing organization that the fund’s
assets are held on behalf of the FCM’s
customers according to CEA provisions.
Finally, FCMs are required to furnish to
the Commission or its staff on request
information concerning the fund’s assets
in order to facilitate Commission
inspections.

The Commission estimates that
approximately 2,275 funds effect
commodities transactions and could
deposit margin with FCMs under Rule
17f–6 in connection with those
transactions. Commission staff estimates
that each fund uses and deposits margin
with two different FCMs in connection
with its commodity transactions.2
The Commission estimates that each
of the 2,275 funds spends an average of
1 hour annually complying with the
contract requirements of the rule (i.e.,
executing contracts that contain the
requisite provisions with additional
FCMs), for a total of 2,275 annual
burden hours. The estimate does not
include the time required by an FCM to
comply with the rule’s contract
requirements because, to the extent that
complying with the contract provisions
could be considered ‘‘collections of
information,’’ the burden hours for
compliance are already included in
other PRA submissions or are de
minimis.3 The estimate of average
burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
2 This estimate is based on information
conversations with representatives of the fund
industry.
3 The rule requires a contract with the FCM to
contain three provisions. Two of the provisions
require the FCM to comply with existing
requirements under the CEA and rules adopted
under that Act. Thus, to the extent these provisions
could be considered collections of information, the
hours required for compliance would be included
in the collection of information burden hours
submitted by the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission for its rules. The third contract
provision requires that the FCM produce records or
other information requested by the Commission or
its staff. Commission staff has requested this type
of information from an FCM so infrequently in the
past that the annual burden hours are de minimis.
