Register Notice. Electronic comments
may be sent by e-mail to the NRC at
ShearonHarrisEIS@nrc.gov, and should

date of publication of this Federal
Register Notice, to be considered in the
scoping process. Comments will be
available electronically and accessible

Participation in the scoping process

the proceeding to which the supplement
to the GEIS relates. Matters related to
participation in any hearing are outside
the scope of matters to be discussed at

At the conclusion of the scoping
process, the NRC will prepare a concise
summary of the determination and
conclusions reached, including the
significant issues identified, and will
send a copy of the summary to each
participant in the scoping process. The
public may also view the summary in
ADAMS. The staff will then prepare and
issue for comment the draft supplement
to the GEIS, which will be the subject
of separate notices and separate public
meetings. Copies will be available for
public viewing at the above-mentioned
addresses, and one copy per request will
be provided free of charge, to the extent
of supply. After receipt and
consideration of the comments, the NRC
will prepare a final supplement to the
GEIS, which will also be available for
public viewing.
Information about the supplement to
the GEIS, and the scoping process may
be obtained from Mr. Hernandez at the
telephone number or e-mail address
given previously.
The agenda for the subject meeting
shall be as follows:
Tuesday, April 3, 2007—8:30 a.m. Until
the Conclusion of Business.
The Subcommittee will review the
NRC staff’s proposed revisions to
Standard Review Plan Section 4.2,
‘‘Fuel Designs.’’ The Subcommittee will
hear presentations by and hold
discussions with representatives of the
NRC staff, their contractors,

and other interested persons regarding
this matter. The Subcommittee will
gather information, analyze relevant
issues and facts, and formulate
proposed positions and actions, as
appropriate, for deliberation by the full
Committee.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Securities Act of 1933; Release No. 8789/
March 14, 2007; Securities Exchange Act
of 1934; Release No. 55469/March 14, 2007]
Order Regarding Review of FASB
Accounting Support Fee For 2007
Under Section 109 of The SarbanesOxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
‘‘Act’’) establishes criteria that must be
met in order for the accounting
standards established by an accounting
standard-setting body to be recognized
as ‘‘generally accepted’’ for purposes of
the federal securities laws. Section 109
of the Act provides that all of the budget
of an accounting standard-setting body
satisfying these criteria shall be payable
from an annual accounting support fee
assessed and collected against each
issuer, as may be necessary or
appropriate to pay for the budget and
provide for the expenses of the standard
setting body, and to provide for an
independent, stable source of funding,
subject to review by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’).
Under Section 109(f) of the Act, the
annual accounting support fee shall not
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
13143
exceed the amount of the standard
setter’s ‘‘recoverable budget expenses.’’
Section 109(h) amends Section 13(b)(2)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
to require issuers to pay the allocable
share of a reasonable annual accounting
support fee or fees, determined in
accordance with Section 109 of the Act.
On April 25, 2003, the Commission
issued a policy statement concluding
that the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (‘‘FASB’’) and its parent
organization, the Financial Accounting
Foundation (‘‘FAF’’), satisfied the
criteria for an accounting standardsetting body under the Act, and
recognizing the FASB’s financial
accounting and reporting standards as
‘‘generally accepted’’ under Section 108
of the Act.1 As a consequence of that
recognition, the Commission undertook
a review of the FASB’s accounting
support fee for calendar year 2007. In
connection with its review, the
Commission also reviewed the proposed
budget for the FAF and the FASB for
calendar year 2007.
Section 109 of the Act also provides
that the standard setting body can have
additional sources of revenue for its
activities, such as earnings from sales of
publications, provided that each
additional source of revenue shall not
jeopardize the actual or perceived
independence of the standard setter. In
this regard, the Commission also
considered the interrelation of the
operating budgets of the FAF, the FASB
and the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (‘‘GASB’’), the FASB’s
sister organization, which sets
accounting standards used by state and
local government entities. The
Commission has been advised by the
FAF that neither the FAF, the FASB nor
the GASB accept contributions from the
accounting profession.
After its review, the Commission
determined that the 2007 annual
accounting support fee for the FASB is
consistent with Section 109 of the Act.
Accordingly,
It is ordered, pursuant to Section 109
of the Act, that the FASB may act in
accordance with this determination of
the Commission.
By the Commission.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
