Because Respondent has failed to acknowledge his wrongdoing, he has not rebutted the Government’s prima facie case. I therefore conclude that his continued registration would be ‘‘inconsistent with the public interest,’’ 21 U.S.C. 823(f), and that his registration should be revoked.32 Regarding Prohibitions Imposed by Section 205(d) of the Federal Credit Union Act. 6.

Final Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 08–1, Guidance 32 Respondent argues that the ALJ erred in recommending revocation rather than a lesser sanction. DEA has, however, repeatedly held that revocation is the appropriate sanction in cases in which it has been shown that a practitioner has used his prescription-writing authority to deal drugs. See, e.g., Randi M. Germaine, 72 FR 51665 (2007); Peter A. Ahles, 71 FR 50097 (2006). Moreover, as explained above, Respondent has offered no evidence that he acknowledges his misconduct.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for approval of extension of the existing collection of information provided for in the following rule: Rule 17a–22 (17 CFR 240.17a–22). Rule 17a–22 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1 requires all registered clearing agencies to file with the Commission three copies of all materials they issue or make generally available to their participants or other entities with whom they have a significant relationship, such as pledges, transfer agents, or selfregulatory organizations. Such materials include manuals, notices, circulars, bulletins, lists, and periodicals. The 1 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:14 Jul 23, 2008 Jkt 214001 filings with the Commission must be made within ten days after the materials are issued or made generally available. When the Commission is not the clearing agency’s appropriate regulatory agency, the clearing agency must file one copy of the material with its appropriate regulatory agency. The Commission is responsible for overseeing clearing agencies and uses the information filed pursuant to Rule 17a–22 to determine whether a clearing agency is implementing procedural or policy changes. The information filed aids the Commission in determining whether such changes are consistent with the purposes of section 17A of the Exchange Act. Also, the Commission uses the information to determine whether a clearing agency has changed its rules without reporting the actual or prospective change to the Commission as required under section 19(b) of the Exchange Act. The respondents to Rule 17a–22 are registered clearing agencies. The frequency of filings made by clearing agencies pursuant to Rule 17a–22 varies but on average there are approximately 200 filings per year per active clearing agency. The Commission staff estimates that each response requires approximately .25 hour (fifteen minutes), which represents the time it takes for a staff person at the clearing agency to properly identify a document subject to the rule, print and make copies, and mail that document to the Commission. Thus, the total annual burden for all active clearing agencies is 300 hours (1,200 multiplied by .25 hour) and a total of 50 hours (1,200 responses multiplied by .25 hour, divided by 6 active clearing agencies) per year are expended by each respondent to comply with the rule. 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. Comments should be directed to (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20503, or send an e-mail to: Alexander_T._Hunt@omb.eop.gov; and (ii) Lewis W.
