Jkt 223001
The Office of Trade and Labor
Affairs (OTLA) gives notice that on June
10, 2011, Submission #2011–01 was
accepted for review pursuant to Article
15.4.2 of Chapter Fifteen (the Labor
Chapter) of the Bahrain—United States
Free Trade Agreement.
The submission was filed with OTLA
on April 21, 2011, by the American
Federation of Labor and Congress of
Industrial Organizations, with a
statement from the General Federation
of Bahrain Trade Unions. The
submission alleges the Government of
Bahrain has violated Article 15.1.1 of
the Labor Chapter of the Bahrain—
United States Free Trade Agreement by
failing to fulfill its obligations and
commitments under the International
Labour Organization Declaration on
Fundamental Principles and Rights at
Work and its Follow-up with regard to
the rights of association and nondiscrimination against trade unionists.
These allegations were supported by
specific factual descriptions which, if
substantiated, could demonstrate that
the Government of Bahrain’s actions
were inconsistent with its commitments
under the Labor Chapter.
The objectives of the review of the
submission will be to gather information
so that OTLA can better understand and
publicly report on the U.S.
Government’s views regarding whether
the Government of Bahrain’s actions
were consistent with the obligations set
forth in the Labor Chapter of the
Bahrain—United States Free Trade
Agreement.
DATES: Effective date: June 10, 2011.

Gregory Schoepfle, Director, OTLA, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Room S–5303,
SUMMARY:
The company plans to manufacture
reference standards.
No comments or objections have been
received. DEA has considered the
factors in 21 U.S.C. 823(a) and
determined that the registration of
Sigma Aldrich Research Biochemicals,
Inc. to manufacture the listed basic
classes of controlled substances is
consistent with the public interest at
this time. DEA has investigated Sigma
Aldrich Research Biochemicals, 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. 823(a),
and in accordance with 21 CFR 1301.33,
the above named company is granted
registration as a bulk manufacturer of
the basic classes of controlled
substances listed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article
15.4.2 of the Labor Chapter of the
Bahrain—United States Free Trade
Agreement establishes that each Party’s
contact point shall provide for the
submission, receipt, and consideration
of communications from persons of a
Party on matters related to provisions of
the Labor Chapter and shall review such
communications in accordance with
domestic procedures. On December 14,
2006, the Department of Labor’s OTLA
was designated as the office to serve as
the contact point for administering the
labor provisions in free trade
agreements, including the Bahrain—
United States Free Trade Agreement. 71
FR 76691 (2006). The same Federal
Register notice informed the public of
the Procedural Guidelines that OTLA
would follow for the receipt and review
of public submissions. These Procedural
Guidelines are available at https://
www.dol.gov/ilab/programs/otla/
proceduralguidelines.htm. According to
the definitions contained in the
Procedural Guidelines (Section B) a
‘‘submission,’’ as used in the guidelines,
means ‘‘a communication from the
public containing specific allegations,
accompanied by relevant supporting
information, that another Party has
failed to meet its commitments or
obligations arising under a labor chapter
* * *.’’
The Procedural Guidelines specify
that OTLA shall consider six factors, to
the extent that they are relevant, in
determining whether to accept a
submission for review:
1. Whether the submission raises
issues relevant to any matter arising
under a labor chapter;
2. Whether a review would further the
objectives of a labor chapter;
3. Whether the submission clearly
identifies the person filing the
submission, is signed and dated, and is
sufficiently specific to determine the
nature of the request and permit an
appropriate review;
4. Whether the statements contained
in the submission, if substantiated,
would constitute a failure of the other
Party to comply with its obligations or
commitments under a labor chapter;
5. Whether the statements contained
in the submission or available
information demonstrate that
appropriate relief has been sought under
the domestic laws of the other Party, or
that the matter or a related matter is
pending before an international body;
and,
6. Whether the submission is
substantially similar to a recent
E:\FR\FM\16JNN1.SGM
16JNN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 116 / Thursday, June 16, 2011 / Notices
submission and significant, new
information has been furnished that
would substantially differentiate the
submission from the one previously
filed.
The submission raises pertinent
issues that would further the objectives
of the Labor Chapter and that would, if
substantiated, constitute a failure of the
GOB to comply with its FTA
commitments. The submission provides
new information and was filed in a
correct and complete manner with an
allegation that is specific enough to be
investigated. The affected trade
unionists have attempted to engage in
dialogue with the Government of
Bahrain regarding the allegations
contained in the submission. The OTLA
has taken these factors into account and
accepted the submission for review.
OTLA’s decision to accept the
submission for review is not intended to
indicate any determination as to the
validity or accuracy of the allegations
contained in the submission. The
objectives of the review of the
submission will be to gather information
so that OTLA can better understand and
publicly report on the U.S.
Government’s views regarding whether
the Government of Bahrain’s actions
were consistent with the obligations set
forth in the Labor Chapter of the
Bahrain—United States Free Trade
Agreement. The review will be
completed and a public report issued
within 180 days, unless circumstances,
as determined by OTLA, require an
extension of time, as set out in the
Procedural Guidelines. The public
report will include a summary of the
review process, as well as findings and
recommendations.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
VerDate Mar<15>2010

and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request to approve the collection of
information discussed below.
Investors who submit complaints, ask
questions, or provide tips do so
voluntarily. To make it easier for the
public to contact the agency
electronically, the Commission created a
series of investor complaint and
question electronic forms. Investors can
access forms through the SEC Center for
Complaints and Enforcement Tips
portal. The Commission consolidated
four paper complaint forms into one
electronic form (the Investor Form) that
provides drop down options to choose
from in order to categorize the investor’s
complaint or question, and may also
provide the investor with automated
information about their issue. The
investor may describe their complaint
and submit it without their name or
contact information.
The Investor Form asks investors to
provide information concerning, among
other things, their names, how they can
be reached, the names of the individuals
or entities involved, the nature of their
complaint or tip, what documents they
can provide, and what, if any, actions
they have taken. Use of the Investor
Form is strictly voluntary. Moreover, the
Commission does not require investors
to submit complaints, questions, tips, or
other feedback. Absent the forms, the
public still has several ways to contact
the agency, including telephone,
facsimile, letters, and e-mail.
Approximately 20,000 investors each
year voluntarily choose to use the
complaint and question form. Investors
who choose not to use the electronic
Investor Form receive the same level of
service as those who do. The dual
purpose of the form is to make it easier
for the public to contact the agency with
complaints, questions, tips, or other
feedback and to further streamline the
workflow of Commission staff that
record, process, and respond to investor
contacts.
The SEC has used—and will continue
to use—the information that investors
supply on the complaint and question
forms, and the electronic Investor Form
to review and process the contact
(which may, in turn, involve responding
to questions, processing complaints, or,
as appropriate, initiating enforcement
investigations), to maintain a record of
contacts, to track the volume of investor
complaints, and to analyze trends.
The Commission estimates that the
total reporting burden for using the
Investor Form is 5,000 hours. The
calculation of this estimate depends on
the number of investors who use the
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
35245
forms each year and the estimated time
it takes to complete the forms: 20,000
respondents × 15 minutes = 5,000
burden hours.
Members of the public should be
aware that an agency may not conduct
or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of
information unless a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number is displayed.

information collection may be viewed at
