All comments received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make available publicly. All submissions should refer to File Number SR–MSRB–2010–08 and should be submitted on or before October 27, 2010. V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1 The Commission finds good cause for approving the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, before the 30th day after the date of publication in the Federal Register. The Commission notes that the proposal was published for notice and comment, and the Commission received ten comment letters, which comments have been discussed in detail above. Amendment No. 1 proposes to amend proposed Rule A–3(i)(i)(B)(3) to explicitly provide that, of the regulated representatives on the Board, ‘‘at least one, and not less than 30 percent of the total number of regulated representatives, shall be associated with and representative of municipal advisors and shall not be associated with a broker, dealer or a municipal securities dealer.’’ The Commission notes that in the MSRB’s Response Letter, the MSRB expressed its expectation that the advisor representatives would be ‘‘advisors that are not affiliated with broker-dealers or banks.’’ 82 Amendment No. 1 provides additional clarification that the advisor representatives on the Board during the transitional period will be independent advisors not associated with brokers, dealers or municipal securities dealers. In addition, Amendment No. 1 proposes that, with respect to the formation of the Nominating Committee for purposes of nominating potential new members of the Board with terms commencing on October 1, 2011, the Board shall amend the provisions of 82 See MSRB Response Letter. VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:00 Oct 05, 2010 Jkt 223001 section (c) of Rule A–3 relating to the composition and procedures of the Nominating Committee, among other things, to assure that the Nominating Committee shall be composed of a majority of public representatives and to assure fair representation of bank representatives, broker-dealer representatives and advisor representatives. Section 15B(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act provides that the MSRB’s rules must, at a minimum, ‘‘establish fair procedures for the nomination and election of members of the Board and assure fair representation in such nominations and elections of public representatives, broker dealer representatives, bank representatives, and advisor representatives.’’ 83 In addition, as discussed above, Section 15B(b)(2)(B)(i) of the Exchange Act provides that the MSRB’s rules shall provide that the number of public representatives of the Board shall at all times exceed the total number of regulated representatives. Amendment No. 1 proposes that the Nominating Committee would reflect the new composition of the Board with a majority public representation and with fair representation of bank representatives, broker-dealer representatives and advisor representatives. The Commission believes that Amendment No. 1 is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act and finds good cause, consistent with Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,84 to approve the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis. VI. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, is consistent with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to the MSRB, and in particular, Sections 15B(b)(1) 85 and 15B(b)(2) 86 of the Exchange Act. It is therefore ordered that, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange Act,87 the proposed rule change (SR– MSRB–2010–08), as modified by Amendment No. 1 be, and it hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis. 83 15 U.S.C. 78o–4(b)(2)(B) (as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act). 84 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2). 85 15 U.S.C. 78o–4(b)(1) (as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act). 86 15 U.S.C. 78o–4(b)(2) (as amended by the Dodd-Frank Act). 87 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

[FR Doc. 2010–25199 Filed 10–1–10; 4:15 pm] BILLING CODE 4910–9X–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Surface Transportation Board Notice and Request for Comments AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, DOT. PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 61813 30-Day notice of request for approval: report of fuel cost, consumption, and surcharge revenue. ACTION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 501– 3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation Board (STB or Board) has submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an extension of approval for the collection of the Rail Fuel Surcharge Report. The Board previously published a notice about this collection in the Federal Register on June 29, 2010, at 75 FR 37,522. That notice allowed for a 60-day public review and comment period. No comments were received. The Rail Fuel Surcharge Report is described in detail below. Comments may now be submitted to OMB concerning (1) the accuracy of the Board’s burden estimates; (2) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; (3) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, when appropriate; and (4) whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Board, including whether the collection has practical utility. SUMMARY: Description of Collection Title: Report of Fuel Cost, Consumption, and Surcharge Revenue. OMB Control Number: 2140–0014. STB Form Number: None. Type of Review: Extension without change. Respondents: Class I railroads (railroads with operating revenues exceeding $250 million in 1991 dollars). Number of Respondents: 7. Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. Frequency: Monthly. Total Burden Hours (annually including all respondents): 84 hours. Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: None identified. Needs and Uses: Under 49 U.S.C. 10702, the Surface Transportation Board has the authority to address the reasonableness of a rail carrier’s practices. The proposed information collection is intended to permit the Board to monitor the current fuel surcharge practices of the Class I carriers. Failure to collect this information would impede the Board’s ability to monitor the current fuel surcharge practices of Class I carriers. The Board has authority to collect information about rail costs and revenues under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and 11145. E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM 06OCN1
