ACTION: Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 5.17, ‘‘Truck Identification Markings’’. AGENCY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert G. Carpenter, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001, telephone: 301–251– 7483 or e-mail Robert.Carpenter@nrc.gov. WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing Regulatory Guide 5.17, ‘‘Truck Identification Markings,’’published in January 1974. Regulatory Guide 5.17 identifies methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the former NRC regulation, 10 CFR 73.31(e) (1973), ‘‘Shipment By Road,’’with regard to markings applied to a road vehicle to enhance its identification from the air. Specifically, former § 73.31(e) required that vehicles used to transport quantities of special nuclear material by VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:15 Jul 22, 2010 Jkt 220001 road be marked on top with identifying letters or numbers which will permit identification of the vehicles under daylight conditions from the air in clear weather at 1,000 feet above ground level. Regulatory Guide 5.17 is no longer needed because the guidance is outdated. Former § 73.31(e) has been deleted (44 FR 68184; November 28, 1979) and the information is now contained in the Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations 49 CFR parts 172 through 180. These DOT regulations specify the shape, color, material, markings, and display locations for all types of hazardous material placards, including radioactive materials. The regulation is prescriptive by nature and these DOT regulations are routinely updated; therefore, reproducing the requirements in a regulatory guide is unnecessarily redundant and could lead to frequently outdated guidance. II. Further Information The withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 5.17 does not alter any prior or existing licensing commitments based on its use. The guidance provided in this regulatory guide is no longer necessary. Regulatory guides may be withdrawn when their guidance is superseded by congressional action or otherwise no longer provides useful information. Regulatory guides are available for inspection or downloading through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’in the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at https://www. nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections. Regulatory guides are also available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR), Room O–1 F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852–2738.

Extension: Rule 17f–1(g), SEC File No. 270–30, OMB Control No. 3235–0290. 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 provided for in Rule 17f–1(g) (17 CFR 240.17f–1(g)), under the Securities 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. Paragraph (g) of Rule 17f–1 requires that all reporting institutions (i.e., every national securities exchange, member thereof, registered securities association, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, registered transfer agent, registered clearing agency, participant therein, member of the Federal Reserve System and bank insured by the FDIC) maintain and preserve a number of documents related to their participation in the Lost and Stolen Securities Program (‘‘Program’’) under Rule 17f–1. The following documents must be kept in an easily accessible place for three years, according to paragraph (g): (1) Copies or all reports of theft or loss (Form X–17F–1A) filed with the Commission’s designee; (2) all agreements between reporting institutions regarding registration in the Program or other aspects of Rule 17f–1; and (3) all confirmations or other information received from the Commission or its designee as a result of inquiry. Reporting institutions utilize these records and reports (a) to report missing, lost, stolen or counterfeit securities to the database, (b) to confirm inquiry of the database, and (c) to demonstrate compliance with Rule 17f–1. The Commission and the reporting institutions’ examining authorities utilize these records to monitor the incidence of thefts and losses incurred by reporting institutions and to determine compliance with Rule 17f–1. If such records were not retained by E:\FR\FM\23JYN1.SGM 23JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 141 / Friday, July 23, 2010 / Notices reporting institutions, compliance with Rule 17f–1 could not be monitored effectively. The Commission estimates that there are 25,458 reporting institutions (respondents) and, on average, each respondent would need to retain 33 records annually, with each retention requiring approximately 1 minute (33 minutes or .55 hours). The total estimated annual burden is 14,001.9 hours (25,458 × .55 hours = 14,001.9). Assuming an average hourly cost for clerical work of $50.00, the average total yearly record retention cost for each respondent would be $27.50 ($50 × .55 hours). Based on these estimates, the total annual cost for the estimated 25,458 reporting institutions would be approximately $700,095 (25,458 × $27.50). 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.

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 17a–1 (17 CFR 240.17a–1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the ‘‘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 17a–1 requires that every national securities exchange, national securities association, registered clearing agency, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board keep on file for a period of not less than five years, the first two years in an easily accessible place, at least one copy of all documents, including all correspondence, memoranda, papers, books, notices, accounts, and other such records made or received by it in the course of its business as such and in the conduct of its self-regulatory activity, and that such documents be available for examination by the Commission. There are 22 entities required to comply with the rule: 14 national securities exchanges, 1 national securities association, 6 registered clearing agencies, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The Commission staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary for compliance with the requirements of Rule 17a–1 is 50 hours per year. In addition, 4 national securities exchanges notice-registered pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(g)) are required to preserve records of determinations made under Rule 3a55– 1 under the Act (17 CFR 240.3a55–1), which the Commission staff estimates will take 1 hour per exchange, for a total of 4 hours. Accordingly, the Commission staff estimates that the total number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 17a–1 is 1,104 hours. The average cost per hour is $59. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for all respondents is $65,136.
