This list is not intended to be all inclusive, nor is it a predetermination of potential environmental impacts. The list is presented to facilitate comments on the scope of the EIS. Changes to this list may occur as a result of the public scoping process. dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES 5.0 Scoping Meetings One purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the proposed scope and content of the EIS. Scoping is an early and open process designed to determine the range of actions, alternatives, and potential impacts to be considered in the EIS, and to identify significant issues related to the proposed action. It is intended to solicit input from the public and other agencies so that the analysis can be more clearly focused on issues of genuine concern. The principal goals of the scoping process are to: —Ensure that concerns are identified early and are properly studied; —Identify alternatives to be examined; —Identify significant issues to be analyzed; —Eliminate unimportant issues from detailed consideration; and —Identify public concerns. On May 19, 2009, the NRC will hold two public scoping meetings in Wilmington, North Carolina, to solicit both oral and written comments from interested parties. Both meetings will be VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:28 Apr 08, 2009 Jkt 217001 transcribed to record public comments. The first meeting will convene at 1 p.m. and will continue until approximately 4 p.m. The second meeting will convene at 7 p.m. and will continue until approximately 10 p.m. Both meetings will begin with NRC staff providing a description of the NRC’s role and mission. A brief overview of the licensing process will be followed by a brief description of the environmental review process. Most of the meeting time will be allotted for attendees to make oral comments. In addition, the NRC staff will host informal discussions for one hour prior to the start of each public meeting. No formal comments on the proposed scope of the EIS will be accepted during the informal discussions. To be considered, comments must be provided either at one of the transcribed public meetings or in writing, as discussed below. Persons may register to attend or present oral comments at the scoping meetings by contacting Christianne Ridge at (301) 415–5673, or by sending e-mail to GLE.EIS@nrc.gov no later than April 30, 2009. Members of the public may also register to speak at the meeting prior to the start of the session. Individual oral comments may be limited by the time available, depending on the number of persons who register. Members of the public who have not registered may also have an opportunity to speak, if time permits. If special equipment or accommodations are needed to attend or present information at the public meeting, please contact Christianne Ridge no later than April 23, 2009, so that the NRC staff can determine whether the request can be accommodated. 6.0 Scoping Comments Members of the public may provide comments orally at one of the transcribed public scoping meetings or in writing. Written comments may be sent by e-mail to GLE.EIS@nrc.gov or mailed to the address listed above in the ADDRESSES Section. At the conclusion of the scoping process, the NRC staff will prepare a summary of public comments regarding the scope of the environmental review and significant issues identified. NRC staff will send this summary to each participant in the scoping process for whom the staff has an address. This summary and project-related material will be available for public review through our electronic reading room: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ adams.html. The scoping meeting summaries and project-related materials will also be available on NRC’s GLE Web page: https://www.nrc.gov/ PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 materials/fuel-cycle-fac/laser.html (case sensitive). 7.0 The NEPA Process The EIS for the GLE facility will be prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and NRC’s NEPA Regulations at 10 CFR Part 51. After the scoping process is complete, NRC and its contractor will prepare and publish a draft EIS. A 45day public comment period on the draft EIS is planned, and public meetings to receive comments will be held approximately three weeks after publication of the draft EIS. Availability of the draft EIS, the dates of the public comment period, and information about the public meetings will be announced in the Federal Register, on NRC’s GLE Web page, and in the local news media. The final EIS will include responses to any comments received on the draft EIS. Signed in Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of April 2009. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Patrice M. Bubar, Director, Environmental Protection and Performance Assessment Directorate, Division of Waste Management and Environmental Protection, Office of Federal and State Materials and Environmental Management Programs.

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 plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Section 13(f) 1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 2 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1) Adopt rules that create a reporting and 1 15 2 15 E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM U.S.C. 78m(f).

Rule 13f–1 3 under the Exchange Act requires institutional investment managers that exercise investment discretion over accounts—having in the aggregate a fair market value of at least $100,000,000 of exchange-traded or NASDAQ-quoted equity securities—to file quarterly reports with the Commission on Form 13F.4 The information collection requirements apply to institutional investment managers that meet the $100 million reporting threshold. Section 13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an ‘‘institutional investment manager’’ as any person, other than a natural person, investing in or buying and selling securities for its own account, and any person exercising investment discretion with respect to the account of any other person. Form 13F under the Exchange Act defines ‘‘investment discretion’’ for purposes of Form 13F reporting. The reporting system required by Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is intended, among other things, to create in the Commission a central repository of historical and current data about the investment activities of institutional investment managers, and to improve the body of factual data available to regulators and the public. The Commission staff estimates that 4,052 respondents make approximately 16,208 responses under the rule each year. The staff estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year to prepare and submit the report. In addition, the staff estimates that 210 respondents file approximately 840 amendments each year. The staff estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and submit amendments to Form 13F. The total annual burden of the rule’s requirements for all respondents therefore is estimated to be 401,178 hours ((4,052 filers × 98.8 hours) + (210 filers × 4 hours)). The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange 
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Form 13F; SEC File No. 270-22; OMB Control No. 3235-0006.

    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 plans to 
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of 
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Section 13(f) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 \2\ (the 
``Exchange Act'') empowers the Commission to: (1) Adopt rules that 
create a reporting and

[[Page 16239]]

disclosure system to collect specific information; and (2) disseminate 
such information to the public. Rule 13f-1 \3\ under the Exchange Act 
requires institutional investment managers that exercise investment 
discretion over accounts--having in the aggregate a fair market value 
of at least $100,000,000 of exchange-traded or NASDAQ-quoted equity 
securities--to file quarterly reports with the Commission on Form 
13F.\4\

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.13f-1.
    \4\ 17 CFR 249.325.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The information collection requirements apply to institutional 
investment managers that meet the $100 million reporting threshold. 
Section 13(f)(5) of the Exchange Act defines an ``institutional 
investment manager'' as any person, other than a natural person, 
investing in or buying and selling securities for its own account, and 
any person exercising investment discretion with respect to the account 
of any other person. Form 13F under the Exchange Act defines 
``investment discretion'' for purposes of Form 13F reporting.
    The reporting system required by Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act 
is intended, among other things, to create in the Commission a central 
repository of historical and current data about the investment 
activities of institutional investment managers, and to improve the 
body of factual data available to regulators and the public.
    The Commission staff estimates that 4,052 respondents make 
approximately 16,208 responses under the rule each year. The staff 
estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year to 
prepare and submit the report. In addition, the staff estimates that 
210 respondents file approximately 840 amendments each year. The staff 
estimates that on average, Form 13F filers spend 4 hours/year to 
prepare and submit amendments to Form 13F. The total annual burden of 
the rule's requirements for all respondents therefore is estimated to 
be 401,178 hours ((4,052 filers x 98.8 hours) + (210 filers x 4 
hours)).
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the 
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate is not derived 
from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study of the 
costs of Commission rules. 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.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of 
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the Commission, including whether the information has practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the burdens 
of the collections of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to 
minimize the burdens of the collections of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology. Consideration will be given to 
comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60 days of this 
publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Charles Boucher, Director/
CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson, 6432 
General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.
