(Due 4/30/ 2012) 2. Prior to startup for Unit 3 Cycle 18, poolside examinations will be performed to evaluate ongoing assembly and cladding performance. (Due 10/30/ 2013) 3. After completion of Unit 3 Cycle 18 (the third and final irradiation cycle), poolside examinations will be performed to evaluate assembly and cladding performance. (Due 6/30/2015) 4. The Westinghouse NGF LFAs will be modeled in the PVNGS core physics models, including the Zirconium diboride integral fuel burnable absorber (IFBA). As such, the impact of the LFAs will be included in the PVNGS cyclespecific core physics calculations supporting the reload effort for each cycle during use of the LFAs. (Due 10/ 30/2010, 4/30/2012, and 10/30/2013, respectively) 5. Evaluations will verify performance of the Westinghouse NGF LFAs with respect to the safety analysis. The analyses will include thermal-hydraulic compatibility, loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) and non-LOCA criteria, mechanical design, thermal hydraulic, seismic, core physics, and neutronic compatibility of the LFAs in the PVNGS Unit 3 core. The evaluations will make use of the fact that the LFAs will be operated in non-limiting locations and will verify the reload analyses are not adversely impacted. The results will be documented in a final design report. (Due 10/30/2010) 6. A compatibility study will be performed to ensure that insertion of the Westinghouse NGF LFAs will not cause the remaining Westinghouse fuel to exceed its operating limits and ensure there is no adverse impact on fuel performance or mechanical integrity. The results of the compatibility study will be documented in a final design report. (Due 10/30/2010) In addition, since APS referenced Westinghouse Topical Report WCAP– 12610–P–A & CENPD–404–P–A, Addendum 1–A, ‘‘Optimized ZIRLOTM,’’ dated July 2006, in its request for the exemption to use LFAs with Optimized ZIRLOTM cladding, the licensee shall ensure compliance with the conditions and limitations listed in Section 5.0 of the NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation Report for that report. 4.0 Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and is consistent with the common defense VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:22 Sep 01, 2010 Jkt 220001 and security. Also, special circumstances are present. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants APS a temporary exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K to allow the use of fuel rods clad with an advanced alloy, Optimized ZIRLOTM, in the PVNGS, Unit 3, core in non-limiting locations during Operating Cycles 16, 17, and 18. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the Commission has determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment as published in the Federal Register on August 24, 2010 (75 FR 52045). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of August 2010. For The Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Joseph G. Giitter, Director, Division of Operating Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

Extension: Rule 15Ba2–1 and Form MSD; SEC File No. 270–0088; OMB Control No. 3235–0083. 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’’) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule 15Ba2–1 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2–1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’) (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) Rule 15Ba2–1 provides that an application for registration with the Commission by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100). The Commission uses the information contained in Form MSD to determine whether bank municipal securities dealers meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act, to develop a central registry where members of the public may obtain PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 53987 information about particular bank municipal securities dealers, and to develop statistical information about bank municipal securities dealers. Based upon past submissions, the staff estimates that approximately 41 respondents will utilize this application procedure annually. The staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 15Ba2–1 is 1.5 hours per respondent, for a total burden of 61.5 hours. The average cost per hour is approximately $67. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for the respondents is approximately $4,120. Rule 15Ba2–1 does not contain an explicit recordkeeping requirement, but the rule does require the prompt correction of any information on Form MSD that becomes inaccurate, meaning that bank municipal securities dealers need to maintain a current copy of Form MSD indefinitely. Providing the information on the application is mandatory in order to register with the Commission as a bank municipal securities dealer. The information contained in the application will not be kept confidential. 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 control number.

Rule 15Bc3–1 provides that a notice of withdrawal from registration with the Commission as a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSDW. The Commission uses the information submitted on Form MSDW in determining whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. This information is also important to the municipal securities dealer’s customers and to the public, because it provides, among other things, the name and address of a person to contact regarding any of the municipal securities dealer’s unfinished business.

Based upon submissions for the last three years, the staff estimates that approximately 12 respondents will utilize this notice annually, with a total burden for all respondents of 6 hours. The average cost per hour is approximately $101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for the respondents is $606 ($101 × 0.5 × 12 = $606).

    Rule 15Bc3-1 provides that a notice of withdrawal from registration

customers and to the public, because it provides, among other things, 
the name and address of a person to contact regarding any of the 
municipal securities dealer's unfinished business.
    The staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to 
comply with the requirements of Rule 15Bc3-1 is 0.5 hours. Based upon 
submissions for the last three years, the staff estimates that 
approximately 12 respondents will utilize this notice annually, with a 
total burden for all respondents of 6 hours. The average cost per hour 
is approximately $101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for the 
respondents is $606 ($101 x 0.5 x 12 = $606).
