Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 19 / Tuesday, January 30, 2007 / Notices with the oldest short CNS position(s). Thus, the Buy-In Position will be automatically exited from CNS one day earlier than is currently the case and the buy-in process under MSRB rules can likewise commence one day earlier. III. Discussion The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a registered clearing agency. In particular, the Commission believes the proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 17A(b)(3)(F),4 which among other things, requires the rules of a clearing agency to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions. By automating and accelerating the exiting of unsatisfied municipal securities Buy-In Positions, the new rule should expedite and make more efficient the processing of municipal securities buy-ins. As a result, the new rule should promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of such securities transactions. IV. Conclusion On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in particular with the requirements of Section 17A of the Act 5 and the rules and regulations thereunder. It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,6 that the proposed rule change (File No. SR– NSCC–2006–12) be, and hereby is, approved.7 For the Commission by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.8 Florence E.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Commercial Driver’s License Program Improvements and Commercial Driver’s License Information System Modernization. OMB Control Number: 2126-xxxx. Type of Request: New information collection. Background: The CDL program was created by the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (CMVSA) [Public Law 99–570, 100 Stat. 3207–175, October 27, 1986] and its amending legislation. The goal of the CDL program is to improve highway safety by ensuring that drivers of large trucks and buses are qualified to operate those vehicles and to remove unsafe and unqualified drivers from the highways. CMVSA retained the States’ right to issue a driver’s license but established minimum national standards which States must meet when licensing commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. In CMVSA, Congress found that one of the leading impacts to CMV safety was the possession of multiple licenses by commercial drivers. Multiple licenses allowed drivers to spread their traffic violations over a number of licenses and to maintain a ‘‘good driver’’ rating regardless of the number of violations they may have acquired in one or more States. In response to the States’ concerns, CMVSA directed DOT to establish Federal minimum standards to correct the multiple license issue, testing and licensing to check a person’s ability to operate the types of vehicle he/she plans to operate, and to ensure that a person with a bad driving record is prohibited from operating a CMV. These standards were designed to: • Prohibit commercial drivers from possessing more than one CDL, • Require that commercial drivers pass meaningful written and driving tests, • Include special qualifications for hazardous materials drivers, and • Establish disqualifications and penalties for drivers convicted of the traffic violations specified in 49 CFR 383.51. States that failed to comply with the requirements imposed by DOT would be subject to withholding of a percentage of their Federal-aid highway funds. To enable the States to fully implement the provisions of CMVSA, Congress E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM 30JAN1
