SUMMARY:

01SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / Notices
established under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA), is responsible for the
enrollment of individuals who wish to
perform actuarial services under ERISA.
The Joint Board has established an
Advisory Committee on Actuarial
Examinations (Advisory Committee) to
assist in its examination duties
mandated by ERISA. The current
Advisory Committee members’ terms
expire on February 28, 2011. This notice
describes the Advisory Committee and
invites applications from those
interested in serving on it.
1. General
To qualify for enrollment to perform
actuarial services under ERISA, an
applicant must have requisite pension
actuarial experience and satisfy
knowledge requirements as provided in
the Joint Board’s regulations. The
knowledge requirements may be
satisfied by successful completion of
Joint Board examinations in basic
actuarial mathematics and methodology
and in actuarial mathematics and
methodology relating to pension plans
qualifying under ERISA.
The Joint Board, the Society of
Actuaries, and the American Society of
Pension Professionals & Actuaries
jointly offer examinations acceptable to

and acceptable to those actuarial
organizations as part of their respective
examination programs.
hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
2. Programs
The Advisory Committee plays an
integral role in the examination program
by assisting the Joint Board in offering
examinations that will enable
examination candidates to demonstrate
the knowledge necessary to qualify for
enrollment. The Advisory Committee
will discuss the philosophy of such
examinations, will review topics
appropriately covered in them, and will
make recommendations relative thereto.
It also will recommend to the Joint
Board proposed examination questions.
The Joint Board will maintain liaison
with the Advisory Committee in this
process to ensure that its views on
examination content are understood.
3. Function
The manner in which the Advisory
Committee functions in preparing
examination questions is intertwined
with the jointly administered
examination program. Under that
program, the participating actuarial
organizations draft questions and
submit them to the Advisory Committee
for its consideration. After review of the
draft questions, the Advisory Committee
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:24 Aug 31, 2010
Jkt 220001
selects appropriate questions, modifies
them as it deems desirable, and then
prepares one or more drafts of actuarial
examinations to be recommended to the
Joint Board. (In addition to revisions of
the draft questions, it may be necessary
for the Advisory Committee to originate
questions and include them in what is
recommended.)
4. Membership
The Joint Board will take steps to
ensure maximum practicable
representation on the Advisory
Committee of points of view regarding
the Joint Board’s actuarial examination
extant in the community at large and
from nominees provided by the
actuarial organizations. Since the
members of the actuarial organizations
comprise a large segment of the
actuarial profession, this appointive
process ensures expression of a broad
spectrum of viewpoints. All members of
the Advisory Committee will be
expected to act in the public interest,
that is, to produce examinations that
will help ensure a level of competence
among those who will be accorded
enrollment to perform actuarial services
under ERISA.
Membership normally will be limited
to actuaries previously enrolled by the
Joint Board. However, individuals
having academic or other special
qualifications of particular value for the
Advisory Committee’s work also will be
considered for membership. Federallyregistered lobbyists may not be members
of the Advisory Committee.
The Advisory Committee will meet
about four times a year. Advisory
Committee members should be prepared
to devote from 125 to 175 hours,
including meeting time, to the work of
the Advisory Committee over the course
of a year. Members will be reimbursed
for travel expenses incurred, in
accordance with applicable government
regulations.
Actuaries interested in serving on the
Advisory Committee should express
their interest and fully state their
qualifications in a letter addressed to:

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
Under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act
Notice is hereby given that on August
25, 2010, a proposed Consent Decree in
United States of America and State of
Texas v.
Air Products LLC, Civil No. 4:10-cv03074 (S.D. Tex.), was lodged with the
United States District Court for the
Southern District of Texas.
In the Complaint filed in this action,
the United States and the State of Texas
sought injunctive relief and civil
penalties against Air Products LLC (‘‘Air
Products’’) for violations of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act
(‘‘RCRA’’), 42 U.S.C. 6901–6992k, at Air
Products’ chemical manufacturing
facility in Pasadena, Texas. The
Complaint alleged that Air Products’
past practice of sending spent sulfuric
acid hazardous waste to the neighboring
Agrifos Fertilizer, Inc. (‘‘Agrifos’’)
facility for disposal violated several
provisions of RCRA. The Complaint also
alleged one violation of RCRA’s
hazardous waste labeling requirements.
The State of Texas has joined as a coplaintiff and brings its own claims
under State law. In the proposed
Consent Decree, Air Products agrees to
manage the spent sulfuric acid on-site,
and not to ship it to Agrifos or to any
other facility not authorized to accept it;
and to certify its compliance with
labeling and other requirements
applicable to hazardous waste storage
tanks on site. Finally, the Consent
Decree requires Air Products to pay a
$1.485 million civil penalty.
The Department of Justice will receive
for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of this publication comments
relating to the Consent Decree.
Comments should be addressed to the
