DPR–42 and DPR– 60] sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES Northern States Power Company; Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2; Notice of Issuance of Director’s Decision Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, has issued a Director’s Decision with regard to a petition dated September 4, 2009, filed by Mr. David Sebastian, hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘petitioner.’’ On September 30, 2009, the petitioner requested an opportunity to address the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Petition Review Board (PRB) to provide any additional information to support the petition. A teleconference took place on October 13, 2009. The petition requested that the NRC take the following actions: (1) Order Xcel Energy Inc. (Xcel) to cease and desist from its current arbitrary and capricious practice of using the Access Authorization and Fitness-for-Duty (AA/FFD) Programs for purposes other than their original intent, as they are being applied against him. (2) Order compliance with: (A) The NRC’s regulations at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.56, ‘‘Personnel Access Authorization Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants’’; (B) The rationale described in the final rule ‘‘Access Authorization Program for Nuclear Power Plants’’ (RIN 3150–AA90) published in the Federal Register on April 26, 1991 (56 FR 18997); and (C) The Nuclear Energy Institute’s (NEI’s) implementation guidance in NEI 03–01, ‘‘Nuclear Power Plant Access Authorization Program,’’ Revision 2, issued October 2008. (3) Grant the petitioner access authorization without further delay to perform his accepted job tasks, with all record of said denial removed from any and all records wherever found. (4) Issue any other order, or grant any other relief, to which the petitioner may have shown himself entitled. As the basis for the September 4, 2009, request, the petitioner stated that Xcel is in violation of 10 CFR 73.56 in denying him access to the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant using the AA/ FFD Programs by basing the decision solely upon an existing tax lien. The petitioner stated that Xcel failed to base the decision to grant or deny unescorted VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:05 Jul 27, 2010 Jkt 220001 access authorization on a review and evaluation of all pertinent information. The petitioner stated that Xcel failed to incorporate all three elements (i.e., background investigation, psychological assessment, and behavioral observation) of the unescorted access authorization program when making the decision to deny unescorted access and that this is contrary to the rationale for rulemaking, as discussed in 56 FR 18997. On October 26 and December 2, 2009, the NRC PRB convened to discuss the petition under consideration to determine whether it met the criteria established in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.11, ‘‘Review Process for 10 CFR 2.206 Petitions,’’ dated October 25, 2000, for acceptance into the process under 10 CFR 2.206, ‘‘Requests for Action under This Subpart.’’ The PRB made the following final recommendations: (1) Item 1 met the criteria established in MD 8.11 for acceptance into the 10 CFR 2.206 process for the petition under consideration. (2) Item 2 met the criteria established in MD 8.11 for acceptance into the 10 CFR 2.206 process for the petition under consideration. (3) Item 3 did not meet the MD 8.11 criteria for further review under the 10 CFR 2.206 process, in that the request did not specifically address an enforcement-related action. (4) Item 4 did not meet the MD 8.11 criteria for further review under the 10 CFR 2.206 process, in that the petition provided insufficient facts to support the request. The NRC sent a copy of the proposed Director’s Decision to the petitioner and the licensee for comment on May 7, 2010. The licensee had no comments on the proposed Director’s Decision. On June 4, 2010, the NRC staff received comments on the proposed Director’s Decision from the petitioner. The Director’s Decision includes the comments and the NRC staff’s response to them. The Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has determined that the request pertaining to Xcel be denied. The Director’s Decision, DD–10–02, explains the reasons for this decision pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206. The complete text of the decision is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Electronic Reading Room (ADAMS Accession No. ML101650032) on the NRC’s Web site, https://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html, and for inspection at the Commission’s Public Document Room, located at One White Flint North, Room O1 F21, 11555 PO 00000 Frm 00079 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.206 of the Commission’s regulations, the staff will file a copy of the Director’s Decision with the Secretary of the Commission for the Commission’s review. As provided for by this regulation, the director’s decision will constitute the final action of the Commission 25 days after the date of the decision, unless the Commission, on its own motion, institutes a review of the Director’s Decision within that time. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of July 2010. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Eric J. Leeds, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

Extension: Rule 17a–7; SEC File No. 270–147; OMB Control No. 3235–0131. 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 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–7 (17 CFR 240.17a–7) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’) requires non-resident broker-dealers registered or applying for registration pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act to maintain—in the United States— complete and current copies of books and records required to be maintained under any rule adopted under the Exchange Act. Alternatively, Rule 17a– 7 provides non-resident broker-dealers may sign written undertakings to furnish the requisite books and records to the Commission upon demand. There are approximately 63 nonresident brokers and dealers. Based on the Commission’s experience in this area, it is estimated that the average amount of time necessary to preserve the books and records required by Rule 17a–7 is one hour per year. Accordingly, the total burden is 63 hours per year. With an average cost per hour of approximately $294, the total cost of compliance for the respondents is approximately $18,522 per year. Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to E:\FR\FM\28JYN1.SGM 28JYN1
