SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC
or the Commission) has issued renewed
Facility Operating License No. R–126,
held by the University of Utah (UU, the
licensee), which authorizes continued
operation of the UU TRIGA Nuclear
Reactor (UUTR), located in Salt Lake
City, Utah. The UUTR is a pool-type,
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001

natural convection, light-water cooled,
and shielded TRIGA (Training,
Research, Isotope Production, General
Atomics) reactor fuel. The UUTR is
licensed to operate at a steady-state
power level of 100 kilowatts thermal
power. The renewed Facility Operating
License No. R–126 will expire 20 years
from its date of issuance.
The renewed facility operating license
complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations.
The Commission has made appropriate
findings as required by the Act and the
Commission’s regulations in Title 10,
Chapter 1, ‘‘Nuclear Regulatory
Commission,’’ of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), and sets forth
those findings in the renewed facility
operating license. The agency afforded
an opportunity for hearing in the Notice
of Opportunity for Hearing published in
the Federal Register on July 21, 2011
(76 FR 43733–43737). The NRC received
no request for a hearing or petition for
leave to intervene following the notice.
The NRC staff prepared a safety
evaluation report for the renewal of
Facility Operating License No. R–126
and concluded, based on that
evaluation, the licensee can continue to
operate the facility without endangering
the health and safety of the public. The
NRC staff also prepared an
Environmental Assessment and Finding
of No Significant Impact for the renewal
of the facility operating license, noticed
in the Federal Register on September
28, 2011 (76 FR 60091–60094), and
concluded that renewal of the facility
operating license will not have a
significant impact on the quality of the
human environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
hereby given that, pursuant to 39 U.S.C.
404(d), on October 25, 2011, the
Commission received two petitions for
review of the Postal Service’s
determination to close the East Poland
post office in East Poland, Maine. The
first petition for review was filed by Carl
E. Duchette. The second petition for
review was filed by the Concerned
Citizens of East Poland. The earliest
postmark date is October 14, 2011. The
Commission hereby institutes a
proceeding under 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(5)
and establishes Docket No. A2012–36 to
consider Petitioners’ appeal. If
Petitioners would like to further explain
their position with supplemental
information or facts, Petitioners may
either file a Participant Statement on
PRC Form 61 or file a brief with the
Commission no later than November 29,
2011.
Categories of issues apparently raised.
Petitioners contend that (1) the Postal
Service failed to consider the effect of
the closing on the community (see 39
U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(i)); (2) the Postal
Service failed to consider whether or
not it will continue to provide a
maximum degree of effective and
regular postal services to the community
(see 39 U.S.C. 404(d)(2)(A)(iii)); and (3)
Petitioners contend that there are factual
errors contained in the Final
Determination.
After the Postal Service files the
administrative record and the
Commission reviews it, the Commission
may find that there are more legal issues
than those set forth above, or that the
Postal Service’s determination disposes
of one or more of those issues. The
deadline for the Postal Service to file the
applicable administrative record with
the Commission is November 9, 2011.
See 39 CFR 3001.113. In addition, the
due date for any responsive pleading by
the Postal Service to this notice is

Rule 11a–3; SEC File No. 270–321; OMB
Control No. 3235–0358.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Section 11(a) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C.
80a–11(a)) provides that it is unlawful
for a registered open-end investment
company (‘‘fund’’) or its underwriter to
make an offer to the fund’s shareholders
or the shareholders of any other fund to
exchange the fund’s securities for
securities of the same or another fund
on any basis other than the relative net
asset values (‘‘NAVs’’) of the respective
securities to be exchanged, ‘‘unless the
terms of the offer have first been
submitted to and approved by the
Commission or are in accordance with
such rules and regulations as the
Commission may have prescribed in
respect of such offers.’’ Section 11(a)
was designed to prevent ‘‘switching,’’
the practice of inducing shareholders of
one fund to exchange their shares for
the shares of another fund for the
purpose of exacting additional sales
charges.
Rule 11a–3 (17 CFR 270.11a–3) under
the Act of 1940 is an exemptive rule that
permits open-end investment
companies (‘‘funds’’), other than
insurance company separate accounts,
and funds’ principal underwriters, to
make certain exchange offers to fund
shareholders and shareholders of other
funds in the same group of investment
companies. The rule requires a fund,
among other things, (i) To disclose in its
prospectus and advertising literature the

Jkt 226001
Expiration of the Commission’s 120-day decisional schedule (see 39 U.S.C.
404(d)(5)).
amount of any administrative or
redemption fee imposed on an exchange
transaction, (ii) if the fund imposes an
administrative fee on exchange
transactions, other than a nominal one,
to maintain and preserve records with
respect to the actual costs incurred in
connection with exchanges for at least
six years, and (iii) give the fund’s
shareholders a sixty day notice of a
termination of an exchange offer or any
material amendment to the terms of an
exchange offer (unless the only material
effect of an amendment is to reduce or
eliminate an administrative fee, sales
load or redemption fee payable at the
time of an exchange).
The rule’s requirements are designed
to protect investors against abuses
associated with exchange offers, provide
fund shareholders with information
necessary to evaluate exchange offers
and certain material changes in the
terms of exchange offers, and enable the
Commission staff to monitor funds’ use
of administrative fees charged in
connection with exchange transactions.
The staff estimates that there are
approximately 1,790 active open-end
investment companies registered with
the Commission as of June 2011. The
staff estimates that 25 percent (or 448)
of these funds impose a non-nominal
administrative fee on exchange
transactions. The staff estimates that the
recordkeeping requirement of the rule
requires approximately 1 hour annually
of clerical time per fund, for a total of
448 hours for all funds.1
The staff estimates that 5 percent of
these 1,790 funds (or 90) terminate an
exchange offer or make a material
change to the terms of their exchange
offer each year, requiring the fund to
comply with the notice requirement of
the rule. The staff estimates that
complying with the notice requirement
of the rule requires approximately 1
hour of attorney time and 2 hours of
clerical time per fund, for a total of
approximately 270 hours for all funds to
comply with the notice requirement.2
The recordkeeping and notice
requirements together therefore impose
1 This estimate is based on the following
calculations: (1,790 funds × 0.25% = 448 funds);
(448 × 1 (clerical hour) = 448 clerical hours).
2 This estimate is based on the following
calculations: (1790 (funds) × 0.05% = 90 funds); (90
× 1 (attorney hour) = 90 total attorney hours); (90
(funds) × 2 (clerical hours) = 180 total clerical
hours); (90 (attorney hours) + 180 (clerical hours)
= 270 total hours).

a total burden of 718 hours on all
funds.3 The total number of respondents
is 538, each responding once a year.4
The burdens associated with the
disclosure requirement of the rule are
accounted for in the burdens associated
with the Form N–1A registration
statement for funds.
The estimate of average burden hours
is made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, and is not
derived from a comprehensive or even
a representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules and forms.
