This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 6.7 was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–6008. This guide provides general procedures for the preparation of environmental reports (ERs), that are submitted to support a rulemaking petition for an exemption for a radionuclide-containing product, and it replaces Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 6.7, issued June 1976. Use of this regulatory guide will help to ensure the completeness of the information provided in the ER, assist the staff of the NRC and others in locating pertinent information, and facilitate the environmental review process. However, the NRC does not require conformance with the procedures in the regulatory guide, which are provided for guidance only. I. Introduction TIME AND DATE: 10 a.m., Thursday, May 20, 2010.

Extension: Rule 19b–5 and Form PILOT; SEC File No. 270–448; OMB Control No. 3235–0507. 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’’) is soliciting comments on the existing collection of information provided for in Rule 19b–5 (17 CFR 240.19b–5) and Form PILOT (17 CFR 249.821) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval. Rule 19b–5 provides a temporary exemption from the rule-filing requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)) to self-regulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) wishing to establish and operate pilot trading systems. Rule 19b–5 permits an SRO to E:\FR\FM\17MYN1.SGM 17MYN1 srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES 27600 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 94 / Monday, May 17, 2010 / Notices develop a pilot trading system and to begin operation of such system shortly after submitting an initial report on Form PILOT to the Commission. During operation of any such pilot trading system, the SRO must submit quarterly reports of the system’s operation to the Commission, as well as timely amendments describing any material changes to the system. After two years of operating such pilot trading system under the exemption afforded by Rule 19b–5, the SRO must submit a rule filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)) of the Act in order to obtain permanent approval of the pilot trading system from the Commission. The collection of information is designed to allow the Commission to maintain an accurate record of all new pilot trading systems operated by SROs and to determine whether an SRO has properly availed itself of the exemption afforded by Rule 19b–5, is operating a pilot trading system in compliance with the Act, and is carrying out its statutory oversight obligations under the Act. The respondents to the collection of information are national securities exchanges and national securities associations. While there are 14 national securities exchanges and national securities associations that may avail themselves of the exemption under Rule 19b–5 and the use of Form PILOT, it is estimated that approximately three respondents will file a total of 3 initial reports, 12 quarterly reports, and 6 amendments on Form PILOT per year, with an estimated total annual response burden of 126 hours. At an average hourly cost of $307.74, the estimated aggregate related cost of compliance with Rule 19b–5 for all respondents is $38,775 per year (126 burden hours multiplied by $307.74/ hour = $38,775). Written comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission’s estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Extension: Rule 17a–8; SEC File No. 270–225; OMB Control No. 3235–0235. 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. Rule 17a–8 (17 CFR 270.17a–8) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is entitled ‘‘Mergers of affiliated companies.’’ Rule 17a–8 exempts certain mergers and similar business combinations (‘‘mergers’’) of affiliated registered investment companies (‘‘funds’’) from prohibitions under section 17(a) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–17(a)) on purchases and sales between a fund and its affiliates. The rule requires fund directors to consider certain issues and to record their findings in board minutes. The rule requires the directors of any fund merging with an unregistered entity to approve procedures for the valuation of assets received from that entity. These procedures must provide for the preparation of a report by an independent evaluator that sets forth the fair value of each such asset for which market quotations are not readily available. The rule also requires a fund being acquired to obtain approval of the merger transaction by a majority of its outstanding voting securities, except in PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 certain situations, and requires any surviving fund to preserve written records describing the merger and its terms for six years after the merger (the first two in an easily accessible place). The average annual burden of meeting the requirements of rule 17a–8 is estimated to be 7 hours for each fund. The Commission staff estimates that each year approximately 610 funds rely on the rule. The estimated total average annual burden for all respondents therefore is 4270 hours. This estimate represents a decrease of 2170 hours from the prior estimate of 6440 hours. The decrease results from a change in the methodology used to estimate the number of mergers between affiliated funds or fund portfolios. The average cost burden of preparing a report by an independent evaluator in a merger with an unregistered entity is estimated to be $15,000. The average net cost burden of obtaining approval of a merger transaction by a majority of a fund’s outstanding voting securities is estimated to be $80,000. The Commission staff estimates that each year approximately 0 mergers with unregistered entities occur and approximately 15 funds hold shareholder votes that would not otherwise have held a shareholder vote to comply with State law. The total annual cost burden of meeting these requirements is estimated to be $1,200,000. The estimates of average burden hours and average cost burdens are made solely for the purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, and are not derived from a comprehensive or even a representative survey or study. 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 OMB control number. Written comments are requested on: (a) Whether the collection of information is 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 collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

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:
    Rule 19b-5 and Form PILOT; SEC File No. 270-448; OMB Control No. 
3235-0507.

    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'') is soliciting comments on the existing 
collection of information provided for in Rule 19b-5 (17 CFR 240.19b-5) 
and Form PILOT (17 CFR 249.821) under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934, as amended (``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission 
plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office 
of Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 19b-5 provides a temporary exemption from the rule-filing 
requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)) to self-
regulatory organizations (``SROs'') wishing to establish and operate 
pilot trading systems. Rule 19b-5 permits an SRO to

[[Page 27600]]

develop a pilot trading system and to begin operation of such system 
shortly after submitting an initial report on Form PILOT to the 
Commission. During operation of any such pilot trading system, the SRO 
must submit quarterly reports of the system's operation to the 
Commission, as well as timely amendments describing any material 
changes to the system. After two years of operating such pilot trading 
system under the exemption afforded by Rule 19b-5, the SRO must submit 
a rule filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) (15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)) of the 
Act in order to obtain permanent approval of the pilot trading system 
from the Commission.
    The collection of information is designed to allow the Commission 
to maintain an accurate record of all new pilot trading systems 
operated by SROs and to determine whether an SRO has properly availed 
itself of the exemption afforded by Rule 19b-5, is operating a pilot 
trading system in compliance with the Act, and is carrying out its 
statutory oversight obligations under the Act.
    The respondents to the collection of information are national 
securities exchanges and national securities associations.
    While there are 14 national securities exchanges and national 
securities associations that may avail themselves of the exemption 
under Rule 19b-5 and the use of Form PILOT, it is estimated that 
approximately three respondents will file a total of 3 initial reports, 
12 quarterly reports, and 6 amendments on Form PILOT per year, with an 
estimated total annual response burden of 126 hours. At an average 
hourly cost of $307.74, the estimated aggregate related cost of 
compliance with Rule 19b-5 for all respondents is $38,775 per year (126 
burden hours multiplied by $307.74/hour = $38,775).
    Written comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed collection 
of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions 
of the Commission, including whether the information shall have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's estimates of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection 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.

Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o
