Avenue, Building 18, Chattanooga,
Tennessee 37409, made application by
letter to the Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) to be registered as
an importer of 4-Anilino-N-Phenethyl-4Piperidine (8333), a basic class of
controlled substance listed in schedule
II.
The company plans to import this
controlled substance in bulk for use in
the manufacture of another controlled
substance.
No comments or objections have been
received. DEA has considered the
factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and 952(a),
and determined that the registration of
Chattem Chemicals, Inc. to import the
basic class of controlled substance is
consistent with the public interest and
with United States obligations under
international treaties, conventions, or
protocols in effect on May 1, 1971. DEA
has investigated Chattem Chemicals,
Inc. to ensure that the company’s
registration is consistent with the public
interest. The investigation has included
inspection and testing of the company’s
physical security systems, verification
of the company’s compliance with state
and local laws, and a review of the
company’s background and history.
Therefore, pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 952(a)
and 958(a), and in accordance with 21
CFR 1301.34, the above named company
is granted registration as an importer of
the basic class of controlled substance
listed.
Dated: April 15, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of
Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement
Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
203(a)(3)(B) of the Employee Retirement
Security Act (ERISA), 29 U.S.C.
1103(a)(3)(B), and its implementing
regulations govern the circumstances
under which pension plans may
suspend pension benefit payments to
retirees who return to work or of
participants who continue to work
beyond normal retirement age. In order
for a plan to suspend benefits, it must
notify the affected retiree or participant
during the first calendar month or
payroll period in which the plan
withholds payment that benefits are
suspended. The notice must include the
specific reasons for such suspension, a
general description of the plan
provisions authorizing the suspension, a
copy of the relevant plan provisions,
and a statement indicating where the
applicable regulations may be found,
i.e., 29 CFR 2530.203–3. In addition, the
suspension notification must inform the
retiree or participant of the plan’s
procedure for affording a review of the
suspension of benefits.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
DATES:

law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB control number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The
DOL obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1210–0048. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
May 31, 2011; however, it should be
noted that information collections
submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo
review. For additional information, see
the related notice published in the
Federal Register on November 10, 2010
(75 FR 69130).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1210–
0048. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

Extension:
Rule 17Ab2–1, Form CA–1, SEC File No.
270–203, OMB Control No. 3235–0195.
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 approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of
information provided for in Rule
17Ab2–1 (17 CFR 240.17Ab2–1) and
Form CA–1: Registration of Clearing
Agencies (17 CFR 249b.200) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
Rule 17Ab2–1 and Form CA–1 require
clearing agencies to register with the
Commission and to meet certain
requirements with regard to, among
other things, a clearing agency’s
organization, capacities, and rules. The
information is collected from the
clearing agency upon the initial
application for registration on Form
CA–1. Thereafter, information is
collected by amendment to the initial
Form CA–1 when material changes in
circumstances necessitate modification
of the information previously provided
to the Commission.
The Commission uses the information
disclosed on Form CA–1 to (i)
determine whether an applicant meets
the standards for registration set forth in
Section 17A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’), (ii)
enforce compliance with the Exchange
Act’s registration requirement, and (iii)
provide information about specific
registered clearing agencies for
compliance and investigatory purposes.
Without Rule 17Ab2–1, the Commission
could not perform these duties as
statutorily required.
The Commission staff estimates that
each initial Form CA–1 requires
approximately 130 hours to complete
and submit for approval. This burden is
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:37 Apr 20, 2011
Jkt 223001
composed primarily of a one-time
reporting burden that reflects the
applicant’s staff time (i.e. internal labor
costs) to prepare and submit the Form
to the Commission. Hours required for
amendments to Form CA–1 that must be
submitted to the Commission in
connection with material changes to the
initial CA–1 can vary, depending upon
the nature and extent of the amendment.
Since the Commission only receives an
average of one submission per year, the
aggregate annual burden associated with
compliance with Rule 17Ab2–1 and
Form CA–1 is 130 hours. The main cost
to respondents is associated with
generating, maintaining, and providing
the information sought by Form CA–1.
The external costs associated with such
activities include fees charged by
outside lawyers and accountants to
assist the registrant collect and prepare
the information sought by the form
(though such consultations are not
required by the Commission) and are
estimated to be approximately $18,000.
The rule and form do not involve the
collection of confidential information.
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.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
control number. No person shall be
subject to any penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information
subject to the PRA that does not display
a valid Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) control number.

Extension:
Rule 173; OMB Control No. 3235–0618;
SEC File No. 270–557.
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 this
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Securities Act Rule 173 (17 CFR
230.173) provides a notice of
registration to investors who purchased
securities in a registered offering under
the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). A Rule 173
notice must be provided by each
underwriter or dealer to each investor
who purchased securities from the
underwriter or dealer. The Rule 173
notice is not publicly available. We
estimate that it takes approximately 0.01
hour per response to provide the
information required under Rule 173
and that the information is filed by
approximately 5,338 respondents
approximately 43,546 times a year for a
total of 232,448,548 responses. We
estimate that the total annual reporting
burden for Rule 173 is 2,324,485 hours
(0.01 hours per response × 232,448,548
responses).
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.

documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site,
