Delegation by the Deputy Secretary of the Authorities of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security to Rose E. Gottemoeller, 20775-20776 [E9-10348]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 5, 2009 / Notices its Certificate. The Certificate is composed of a previous Restated Certificate of Incorporation adopted in 2003 and numerous subsequent amendments, which under Delaware law are adopted as freestanding documents. However, Delaware law allows the various documents comprising a certificate of incorporation to be consolidated into a single restated certificate upon approval of a corporation’s board of directors. The change will assist interested persons, including NASDAQ OMX stockholders and Commission staff, in reading the Certificate without having to review multiple documents. The restated Certificate reflects the deletion of both the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D Preferred Stock and the Certificate of Elimination that was recently filed with respect to it.6 Since the latter component of the Certificate cancels the former, they are both deleted from the restated Certificate. 2. Statutory Basis The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A of the Act 7 in general and with Section 17A(b)(3)(A) of the Act 8 in particular because it is designed to ensure that BSECC is so organized and has the capacity to be able to facilitate the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions. The proposed change will enhance the clarity of NASDAQ OMX’s governance documents by restating the various documents comprising the Certificate as a single document. (B) Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Burden on Competition BSECC does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. (C) Self-Regulatory Organization’s Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. 6 Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59460 (February 26, 2009), 74 FR 9841 (March 6, 2009) (SR–NASDAQ–2009–010, SR–BX–2009–009, SR– Phlx–2009–14); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59496 (March 3, 2009), 74 FR 10626 (March 11, 2009) (SR–BSECC–2009–01); Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59494 (March 3, 2009), 74 FR 10642 (March 11, 2009) (SR–SCCP–2009–01). 7 15 U.S.C. 78q–1. 8 15 U.S.C. 78q–1(b)(3)(A).

Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b–4(f)(3) 10 promulgated thereunder because the proposal change is concerned solely with the administration of BSECC. At any time within sixty days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

NSR has certified that: (1) No local traffic has moved over the line for at least 2 years; (2) no overhead traffic has moved over the line for at least 2 years and overhead traffic, if there were any, could be rerouted over other lines; (3) no formal complaint filed by a user of rail service on the line (or by a state or local government entity acting on behalf of such user) regarding cessation of service over the line either is pending with the Surface Transportation Board (Board) or with any U.S. District Court or has been decided in favor of complainant within the 2-year period; and (4) the requirements at 49 CFR 1105.7 (environmental report), 49 CFR 1105.8 (historic report), 49 CFR 1105.11 (transmittal letter), 49 CFR 1105.12 (newspaper publication), and 49 CFR 1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental agencies) have been met. As a condition to this exemption, any employee adversely affected by the abandonment shall be protected under Oregon Short Line R. Co.— Abandonment—Goshen, 360 I.C.C. 91 1 NSR also seeks exemption from the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 10904 (offers of financial assistance (OFA)). The Board will address the merits of this request in a separate decision. VerDate Nov<24>2008 23:12 May 04, 2009 Jkt 217001 (1979). To address whether this condition adequately protects affected employees, a petition for partial revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d) must be filed. Provided no formal expression of intent to file an OFA has been received, this exemption will be effective on June 4, 2009, unless stayed pending reconsideration.

A copy of any petition filed with the Board should be sent to NSR’s representative: James R. Paschall, Senior General Attorney, Norfolk Southern Corporation, Three Commercial Place, Norfolk, VA 23510. If the verified notice contains false or misleading information, the exemption is void ab initio. NSR has filed environmental and historic reports that address the effects, if any, of the abandonment on the environment and historic resources. SEA will issue an environmental assessment (EA) by May 8, 2009. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the EA by writing to SEA (Room 1100, Surface Transportation Board, Washington, DC 20423–0001) or by calling SEA, at (202) 245–0305.

See Exemption of Outof-Service Rail Lines, 5 I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may take appropriate action before the exemption’s effective date. 3 Each OFA must be accompanied by the filing fee, which currently is set at $1,500. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25). 4 NSR states that it is not aware of any restriction on the title to the right-of-way that would affect the transfer of title or the use of property for other than rail purposes but will provide full title information promptly if it receives a proposal to acquire the property for public purposes.
