Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the extension for

Report title: Reporting and Disclosure
Requirements Associated with the
Policy on Payments System Risk.
Agency form number: FR 4102.
OMB control number: 7100–0315.
Frequency: Biennial.
Reporters: Payment and securities
settlement systems.
Annual reporting hours: 210 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
70 hours.
Number of respondents: 3.
General description of report: The
Federal Reserve has determined that
sections 11(i) & (j), 13, 16, and 19(f) of
the Federal Reserve Act authorize the
Board to exercise general supervision of
the Reserve Banks, to make rules and
regulations to perform effectively its
duties and functions, and to determine
and regulate fees charged by member or
nonmember banks for the collection or
payment of checks, among other things
(12 U.S.C. 248(i) & (j), 248–1, 342, 360,
and 464). Additionally, depending upon
the individual institution, the
information collection may be
authorized under a more specific
statute. Specifically, the Board is
authorized to collect information from
state member banks under section 9 of
the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 324);
from bank holding companies (and their
subsidiaries) under section 5(c) of the
Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)); from savings and loan holding
companies under 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)(3)
and 5412; from Edge and agreement
corporations under sections 25 and 25A
of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C.
602 and 625); and from U.S. branches
and agencies of foreign banks under
section 7(c)(2) of the International
Banking Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C.
3105(c)(2)), and under section 7(a) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. 1817(a)). Together, these
statutory provisions provide the legal
authorization for the reporting and
disclosure requirements associated with
the FR 4102. Because the selfassessments are to be publicly disclosed
and because the Federal Reserve will
not collect any information pursuant to
this information collection beyond what
is made publicly available, no
confidentiality issue arises with regard
to the FR 4102. The reporting and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

disclosure requirements of the FR 4102
are mandatory.
Abstract: The FR 4102 was
implemented in January 2007 as a result
of revisions to the Federal Reserve’s
Policy on Payments System Risk (PSR
policy). Under the revised policy,
systemically important payment and
settlement systems as determined by the
Board at that time and subject to the
Federal Reserve’s authority are expected
to complete and disclose publicly selfassessments against the principles and
minimum standards in the policy. The
self-assessment should be reviewed and
approved by the system’s senior
management and board of directors
upon completion and made readily
available to the public. In addition, a
self-assessment should be updated
following material changes to the
system or its environment and, at a
minimum, reviewed by the system every
two years.
Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the extension for
three years, with revision, of the
following report:
Report title: Transfer Agent
Registration and Amendment Form.
Agency form number: FR TA–1.
OMB control number: 7100–0099.
Frequency: On occasion.
Reporters: State member banks
(SMBs) and their subsidiaries, bank
holding companies (BHCs), certain
nondeposit trust company subsidiaries
of BHCs, and savings and loan holding
companies (SLHCs).
Annual reporting hours: 4 hours.
Estimated average time per response:
Registrations: 1.25 hours; Amendments:
10 minutes.
Number of respondents: Registrations:
2; Amendments: 4.
General description of report: The FR
TA–1 is mandatory and that its
collection is authorized by sections
17A(c), 17(a)(3), and 23(a)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Act), as amended (15 U.S.C. 78q-1(c),
78q(a)(3), and 78w(a)(1)). Additionally,
Section 3(a)(34)(B)(ii) of the Act (15
U.S.C. 78c(a)(34)(B)(ii)) provides that
the Board is the appropriate regulatory
agency for purposes of various filings by
SMBs and their subsidiaries, BHCs,
SLHCs and certain nondepository trust
company subsidiaries of BHCs that act
as a clearing agency or transfer agent.
The registrations are public filings and
are not considered confidential.
Abstract: The Act requires any person
acting as a transfer agent to register as
such and to amend registration
information when it changes. SMBs and
their subsidiaries, BHCs, and certain
nondeposit trust company subsidiaries
of BHCs register with the Federal

ACTION:
Notice.
In compliance with section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Electronic
Government Office (EGOV), Department
of Health and Human Services, has
submitted an Information Collection
Request (ICR), described below, to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval. The ICR
is for reinstatement of a previouslyapproved information collection
assigned OMB control number 4040–
0001, which expired on March 31, 2013.
The ICR also requests categorizing the
form as a common form, meaning HHS
will only request approval for its own
use of the form rather than aggregating
the burden estimate across all Federal
Agencies as was done for previous
actions on this OMB control number.
Comments submitted during the first
public review of this ICR will be
provided to OMB. OMB will accept
further comments from the public on
this ICR during the review and approval
period.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before May 20, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or via

Abstract: The SF–424 Research &
Related Information Collection is an
information collection comprised of a
set of standardized forms used for grant
applications to research-based agencies.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The SF–424 R&R is used
by the public to apply for Federal
financial assistance in the forms of
grants. These forms are submitted to the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the

summarized in the table below.
HHS estimates that the SF–424
Research and Related form will take 1
hour to complete.
We expect that 128,378 respondents
will use this form.
Once OMB approves the use of this
common form, federal agencies may
request OMB approval to use this
common form without having to publish
notices and request public comments for
60 and 30 days. Each agency must
account for the burden associated with
their use of the common form.

and institutions seeking research-based
grants.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:54 Apr 17, 2013
Jkt 229001
ORI found that Philippe Bois, Ph.D.,
former postdoctoral fellow, Department
of Biochemistry, St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital, engaged in research
misconduct in research funded by
National Institute of General Medical
Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of
Health (NIH), grant R01 GM071596, and
National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH,
grants P30 CA021765, P01 CA071907,
R01 CA072996, and R01 CA100603.
In the Settlement Agreement, the
parties agreed that ORI found by a
preponderance of the evidence that the
Respondent committed misconduct in
science and research misconduct by:
1. Knowingly and intentionally falsely
reporting that FOXO1a was not
expressed in cell lysates from alveolar
rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) tumor
biopsies, by selecting a specific FOX01a
immunoblot to show the desired result,
in Figure 1A of the following paper:
Bois, P.R., Izeradjene, K., Houghton, P.J.,
Cleveland, J.L., Houghton, J.A., &
Grosveld, C.G. ‘‘FOXO1a acts as a
selective tumor suppressor in alveolar
rhabdomyosarcoma.’’ J. Cell. Biol.
170:903–912, September 2005 (‘‘JCB
2005’’)
2. Falsifying data showing SDS–PAGE
for papain digestion of VBS3 and aVBS,
by falsely labeling lane 1 to represent
papain only digestion, by falsely
labeling lane 5 to represent papain
digestion of the aVBS peptide, and by
falsely inserting a band in lane 3 to

represent the aVBS peptide, in Figure
4B of the following paper: Bois, P.R.,

‘‘Structural dynamics of a-actininvinculin interactions.’’ Mol. Cell. Biol.
25:6112–6122, July 2005 (‘‘MCB 2005’’).
The parties further agreed that Dr.
Bois denied committing research
misconduct and, pursuant to 42 CFR
part 93, filed a timely request for a
hearing at which to contest ORI’s
findings. An HHS Administrative Law
Judge (ALJ) denied Dr. Bois’ request for
a hearing. HHS subsequently entered a
debarment order against Dr. Bois. Dr.
Bois filed the above referenced lawsuit
in the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia asking the
Court to vacate the debarment order and
remand the matter for further
proceedings before HHS, including but
not limited to granting Dr. Bois’ request
for a hearing.
On March 2, 2012, Judge Berman
Jackson of the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia issued
an order vacating HHS’ debarment
order, affirming Finding #1, and
remanding the matter to HHS for further
proceedings regarding Finding #2. On
March 30, 2012, HHS filed a Motion for
Reconsideration before Judge Berman
Jackson.
On March 14, 2013, Dr. Bois and HHS
entered into a Settlement Agreement
(Agreement) to settle and dismiss the
pending civil action. The terms of the
