Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The National Endowment for
the Arts (NEA), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. This program helps
to ensure that requested data can be
provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the NEA is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
information collection on arts
participation in the U.S. A copy of the
current information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the address section of
this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
address section below on or before June
1, 2014. The NEA is particularly
interested in comments which:
• 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,

Notice of Permit Emergency Provision
Under the Antarctic Conservation Act
of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–541)
National Science Foundation.
ACTION: Notice of permit emergency
provision for hazardous waste stored in
Antarctica at McMurdo Station for more
than 15 months due to an emergency, as
specified by § 671.17.

the lines from the ship to the ice pier
parted and the ice pier fractured into
multiple pieces. A short lull in the
storm on 7 February provided the ship
the opportunity to safely pull away from
the ice pier. The storm brought an
increasing number of icebergs to the
area and in the interest of safety, the
ship proceeded north away from
McMurdo Station. Once the storm had
subsided, the broken ice pier was found
to be unfit for further operations and all
containers (including those containing
the packaged hazardous waste) which
had not been previously loaded onto the
cargo ship remained on station. The
packaged waste material has been
secured until removal during the 2014–
2015 season.

AGENCY:
The Program of Environment
Safety and Health in the Division of
Polar Programs in accordance with
§ 671.17, is giving notice that an
emergency relating to considerations of
human health and safety and ship safety
caused hazardous waste to be stored at
McMurdo Station for more than 15
months.
Hazardous waste in the form of
batteries (1,600 lbs), biomedical waste
from the clinic (4,500 lbs), chemical
waste (31,000 lbs), compressed gases
(2,000 lbs), hazardous debris (18,000
lbs), glycol (65,500 lbs), PCBs from
cleanup of historic activities (1,100 lbs),
petroleum products (132,600 lbs),
radioactive material from scientific
research (1,200 lbs) and solvents/paints
(3,200 lbs) was segregated and packaged
for removal from McMurdo Station at
the end of the 2013–2014 season and
was to be removed from the station in
February 2014.
On 6 February 2014, cargo operations
to load the containers containing the
segregated and packaged waste from the
ice pier onto the M/V Maersk Illinois
were suspended due to safety issues.
Conditions of very high winds (30 knots
sustained and up to 50 knot gusts) and
severe wave action made operations on
the ice pier dangerous. Throughout the
course of the two day storm, several of

Washington, DC 20549–0213.
Extension:
Rule 15c2–11; SEC File No. 270–196, OMB
Control No. 3235–0202.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘PRA’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 15c2–11, (17 CFR
240.15c2–11), under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et
seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 15c2–11 under the Securities
Exchange Act regulates the initiation or
resumption of quotations in a quotation
medium by a broker-dealer for over-thecounter (‘‘OTC’’) securities. The Rule
was designed primarily to prevent
certain manipulative and fraudulent
trading schemes that had arisen in
connection with the distribution and
trading of unregistered securities issued
by shell companies or other companies
having outstanding but infrequently
traded securities. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Rule prohibits brokerdealers from publishing a quotation for
a security, or submitting a quotation for
publication, in a quotation medium
unless they have reviewed specified
information concerning the security and
the issuer.

Based on information provided by
Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’), in the 2013
calendar year, FINRA received
approximately 1,009 applications from
broker-dealers to initiate or resume
publication of quotations of covered
OTC securities on the OTC Bulletin
Board and/or OTC Link or other
quotation mediums. We estimate that (i)
31% of the covered OTC securities were
issued by reporting issuers, while the
other 69% were issued by non-reporting
issuers, and (ii) it will take a brokerdealer about 4 hours to review, record
and retain the information pertaining to
a reporting issuer, and about 8 hours to
review, record and retain the
information pertaining to a nonreporting issuer.
We therefore estimate that brokerdealers who initiate or resume
publication of quotations for covered
OTC securities of reporting issuers will
require 1,236 hours (1,009 × 31% × 4)
to review, record and retain the
information required by the Rule. We
estimate that broker-dealers who initiate
or resume publication of quotations for
covered OTC securities of non-reporting
issuers will require 5,600 hours (1,009
× 69% × 8) to review, record and retain
the information required by the Rule.
Thus, we estimate the total annual
burden hours for broker-dealers to
initiate or resume publication of
quotations of covered OTC securities to
be 6,836 hours (1,236 + 5,600). The
Commission believes that these 6,836
hours would be borne by internal staff
working at a rate of $53 per hour.1
Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule
prohibits broker-dealers from publishing
a quotation for a security, or submitting
a quotation for publication, in a
quotation medium unless they have
reviewed specified information
concerning the security and the issuer.
The broker-dealer must also make the
information reasonably available upon
request to any person expressing an
interest in a proposed transaction in the
security with such broker or dealer. The
collection of information that is
submitted to FINRA for review and
approval is currently not available to the
public from FINRA.
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
