NUCLEAR WASTE TECHNICAL
REVIEW BOARD
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Board Meeting
Board meeting: January 28, 2009-Las
Vegas, Nevada; The U.S. Nuclear Waste
Technical Review Board will meet to
discuss repository tunnel stability and
‘‘burnup’’ credit related to Department
of Energy plans for a proposed
repository for spent nuclear fuel and
high level radioactive waste at Yucca
Mountain in Nevada.
Pursuant to its authority under
section 5051 of Public Law 100–203,
Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act
of 1987, the U.S. Nuclear Waste
Technical Review Board will meet in
Las Vegas, Nevada, on Wednesday,
January 28, 2009. The focus of the
meeting is expected to be repository
tunnel stability and issues related to
burnup credit. Burnup is the amount of
energy produced in a nuclear reactor per
unit weight of nuclear fuel. The Board
will review U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE) activities related to these and
other issues as part of the Board’s
ongoing technical evaluation of DOE’s
proposed plans for disposing of spent
nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive
waste (HLW) in a permanent repository
at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.
The Board was charged in the Nuclear
Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987
with conducting an independent review
of the technical and scientific validity of
DOE activities related to the
implementation of the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act, including transporting,
packaging, and disposing of spent
nuclear fuel and HLW.
The Board meeting will be held at the
Marriott Suites Convention Center; 325
Convention Center Drive; Las Vegas,
Nevada 89109; (tel) 702–650–2000, (fax)
702–6509466.
A detailed meeting agenda will be
available on the Board’s Web site,
https://www.nwtrb.gov, approximately
one week before the date of the meeting.
The agenda also may be obtained by
telephone request at that time. The
meeting will be open to the public, and
opportunities for public comment will
be provided.
Board Chairman B. John Garrick will
call the meeting to order at 8 a.m. Dr.
Garrick’s remarks will be followed by a
DOE program overview and science
update. The balance of the morning
agenda will be devoted to discussions of
drift stability, thermal conductivity of
drift collapse material, and the effects of
the presence of drift collapse material
on waste package temperatures. After
lunch, issues related to the allowance of
burnup credit will be discussed, and an

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

requests for approval of extension on
the following rule: Rule 15c2–1.
Rule 15c2–1 (17 CFR 240.15c2–1)
prohibits the commingling under the
same lien of securities of margin

without their written consent and (b)
with the broker or dealer. The rule also

in excess of the customer’s aggregate
indebtedness. See Securities Exchange
Act Release No. 2690 (November 15,
1940); Securities Exchange Act Release
No. 9428 (December 29, 1971). Pursuant
to Rule 15c2–1, respondents must
collect information necessary to prevent
the rehypothecation of customer

issue and retain copies of notices of
hypothecation of customer securities in
accordance with the rule, and collect

customers of the rule’s protections.
There are approximately 126
respondents (i.e., broker-dealers that
carry or clear customer accounts that
also have bank loans) that require an
aggregate total of 2835 hours to comply
with the rule. Each of these
approximately 126 registered brokerdealers makes an estimated 45 annual
responses. Each response takes
approximately 0.5 hours to complete.
Thus, the total compliance burden per
year is 2835 burden hours.
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.
