II. Background The NRC issues RISs to communicate with stakeholders on a broad range of regulatory matters. This may include communicating staff technical positions on matters that have not been communicated to or are not broadly understood by the nuclear industry. The NRC staff has developed draft RIS 2014–XX, ‘‘Oversight of Counterfeit, Fraudulent, and Suspect Items in the Nuclear Industry,’’ to heighten awareness of the existing NRC regulations and how they apply to the nuclear stakeholders’ oversight of CFSI. The NRC assessment is that the regulatory provisions identified and discussed in the draft RIS: (i) Provide sufficient authority for the NRC to take regulatory action addressing CFSI issues within the scope of the NRC’s regulatory authority and jurisdiction; and (ii) are sufficiently clear and comprehensive to alert regulated entities with respect to their responsibilities and obligations with respect to CFSI as established under those NRC regulatory provisions. The NRC requests comments on the NRC’s assessment. If commenters disagree with the NRC’s assessment, then the NRC requests that commenters identify the specific matter or area in which the NRC’s regulatory infrastructure is deficient or incomplete, and how the NRC could address or rectify the deficiency or incompleteness. Comments identifying needed changes would be most helpful if they describe the entities involved, the specific matter, situation or deficiency in the NRC’s infrastructure, and a description of the proposed activity or regulatory prohibition needed to successfully address the matter, situation or deficiency. The RIS, if issued in final form, may be used by all NRC’s licensees and certificate holders, Agreement State radiation control program directors, state liason officers, contractors and vendors. The draft RIS explains that these entities may review this PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information and consider actions, as appropriate, to prevent CFSI from entering their supply chains, prevent possible installation or use of CFSI at their facilities, and raise awareness of the potential for CFSI to be used in the manufacture of items, including sealed sources and devices. The draft RIS is available electronically in ADAMS under Accession No. ML14192B407. Public Meeting The NRC plans to hold a public meeting to discuss the draft RIS and the issues associated with CFSI. The NRC will consider oral comments made in developing the final RIS, but the NRC will not prepare formal written comment responses to oral comments made at the public meeting. You may submit written comments either electronically or in writing, as described in the ADDRESSES section of this document. Additional details regarding the meeting will be posted at least 10 days prior to the public meeting on the NRC’s Public Meeting Schedule Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/publicinvolve/public-meetings/index.cfm. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 25th day of September 2014. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Sheldon D.

The Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval. Rule 15c2–1 prohibits the commingling under the same lien of securities of margin customers (a) with other customers without their written consent, and (b) with the broker-dealer. The rule also prohibits the rehypothecation of customers’ margin securities for a sum in excess of the customer’s aggregate indebtedness. Pursuant to Rule 15c2–1, respondents must collect information necessary to prevent the re-hypothecation of customer securities in contravention of the rule, issue and retain copies of notices of hypothecation of customer securities in accordance with the rule, and collect written consents from customers in accordance with the rule. The information is necessary to ensure compliance with the rule, and to advise customers of the rule’s protections. There are approximately 61 respondents (i.e., broker-dealers that conducted business with the public, filed Part II or Part IICSE of the FOCUS Report, did not claim an exemption from the Rule 15c3–3 reserve formula computation, and reported that they had a bank loan during at least one quarter of the current year) that require an aggregate total of 1,373 hours to comply with the rule. Each of these approximately 61 registered brokerdealers makes an estimated 45 annual responses. Each response takes approximately 0.5 hours to complete. Thus, the total compliance burden per year is 1,373 burden hours.

The record must include (a) the name of the customer, (b) the name, amount, and price of the security, and (c) the date and time when such transaction took place. E:\FR\FM\02OCN1.SGM 02OCN1
