Download as PDF 39710 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 132 / Monday, July 12, 2010 / Notices security is not impacted by this exemption. erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES 4.0 Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission concludes that granting the requested exemption is consistent with existing regulation at 10 CFR 26.207(d), ‘‘Plant emergencies,’’ which allows the licensee to not meet the requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c) and (d) during declared emergencies as defined in the licensee’s emergency plan. The 10 CFR Part 26 Statements of Consideration (73 FR 17148; March 31, 2008), state that ‘‘Plant emergencies are extraordinary circumstances that may be most effectively addressed through staff augmentation that can only be practically achieved through the use of work hours in excess of the limits of § 26.205(c) and (d).’’ The objective of the exemption is to ensure that the control of work hours do not impede a licensee’s ability to use whatever staff resources may be necessary to respond to a plant emergency and ensure that the plant maintains a safe and secure status. The actions described in the exemption request and ‘‘Hurricane Plan’’ procedure are consistent with the recommendations in NUREG–1474, ‘‘Effect of Hurricane Andrew on the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station from August 20–30, 1992.’’ Also consistent with NUREG–1474, NRC staff expects the licensee would have completed a reasonable amount of hurricane preparation prior to the need to sequester personnel, in order to minimize personnel exposure to high winds. The NRC staff has determined that: (1) The proposed exemption is authorized by law;(2) there is a reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by the proposed exemption; (3) such activities will be consistent with the Commission’s regulations and guidance; and (4) the issuance of the exemption will not endanger the common defense and security. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, ‘‘Finding of no significant impact,’’ the Commission has previously determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (75 FR 21678; April 26, 2010). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of July 2010. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:19 Jul 09, 2010 Jkt 220001 For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Joseph G.

    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 303 (17 CFR 242.303) of 
Regulation ATS (17 CFR 242.300 et seq.) under the Securities and 
Exchange Act of 1934 (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.
    Regulation ATS sets forth a regulatory regime for ``alternative 
trading systems'' (``ATSs''), which are entities that carry out 
exchange functions but which are not required to register as national 
securities exchanges under the Act. In lieu of exchange registration, 
an ATS can instead opt to register with the Commission as a broker-
dealer and, as a condition to not having to register as an exchange, 
must instead comply with Regulation ATS. Rule 303 of Regulation ATS (17 
CFR 242.303) describes the record preservation requirements for ATSs. 
Rule 303 also describes how such records must be maintained, what 
entities may perform this function, and how long records must be 
preserved.
    Under Rule 303, ATSs are required to preserve all records made 
pursuant to Rule 302, which includes information relating to 
subscribers, trading summaries, and time-sequenced order information. 
Rule 303 also requires ATSs to preserve any notices provided to 
subscribers, including, but not limited to, notices regarding the ATSs 
operations and subscriber access. For an ATS subject to the fair access 
requirements described in Rule 301(b)(5)(ii) of Regulation ATS, Rule 
303 further requires the ATS to preserve at least one copy of its 
standards for access to trading, all documents relevant to the ATS's 
decision to grant, deny, or limit access to any person, and all other 
documents made or received by the ATS in the course of complying with 
Rule 301(b)(5) of Regulation ATS. For an ATS subject to the capacity, 
integrity, and security requirements for automated systems under Rule 
301(b)(6) of Regulation ATS, Rule 303 requires an ATS to preserve all 
documents made or received by the ATS related to its compliance, 
including all correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, notices, 
accounts, reports, test scripts, test results, and other similar 
records. As provided in Rule 303(a)(1), ATSs are required to keep all 
of these records, as applicable, for a period of at least three years, 
the first two in an easily accessible place. In addition, Rule 303 
requires ATSs to preserve records of partnership articles, articles of 
incorporation or charter, minute books, stock certificate books, copies 
of reports filed pursuant to Rule 301(b)(2), and records made pursuant 
to Rule 301(b)(5) for the life of the ATS.
    The information contained in the records required to be preserved 
by Rule 303 will be used by examiners and other representatives of the 
Commission, State securities regulatory authorities, and the self-
regulatory organizations to ensure that ATSs are in compliance with 
Regulation ATS as well as other applicable rules and regulations. 
Without the data required by the Rule, regulators would be limited in 
their ability to comply with their statutory obligations, provide for 
the protection of investors, and promote the maintenance of fair and 
orderly markets.
    Respondents consist of ATSs that choose to register as broker-

currently 81 respondents. To comply with the record preservation 
requirements of Rule 303, these respondents will spend approximately

an average cost per burden hour of $106, the resultant total related 
cost of compliance for these respondents is $128,790 per year (1,215 
burden hours multiplied by $106/hour).
    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 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.
