Proposed Collection: Comment Request for Review of New Information Collection Form: OPM Optional Form XX
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a new information collection document. Optional Form (OF) XX, Certificate of Medical Examination replaces the existing Civil Service Commission Standard Form (SF) 78, Certificate of Medical Examination, which was last revised in October 1969. Replacement is necessary because the SF-78 is no longer accurate. Revisions include making the form optional for agencies, incorporating changes required by 29 CFR 1630.13, which addresses prohibited medical examinations and inquiries, and deleting references to the Federal Personnel Manual and other outdated references. It will be used to collect medical information about individuals who are incumbents of positions which require physical fitness/agility testing and medical examinations, or who have been selected for such a position contingent upon meeting physical fitness/agility testing and medical examinations as a condition of their employment. This information is needed to ensure fair and consistent treatment of employees and job applicants, to adjudicate requests to pass over preference eligibles, and to adjudicate claims of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Approximately 45,000 forms are submitted annually. It takes approximately 30 total minutes to complete the form. The annual estimated burden is 22,500 hours. Comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, and whether it will have practical utility; Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; Ways we can enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collected; and Ways we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through use of the appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology. For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606-8358, Fax (202) 418-3251, or e-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please include a mailing address with your request.

Organization; Definitions; Disclosure to Shareholders; Accounting and Reporting Requirements; Regulatory Accounting Practices; Title IV Conservators, Receivers, and Voluntary Liquidations; and Disclosure to Investors in System-Wide and Consolidated Bank Debt Obligations of the Farm Credit System
The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or our) issues this final rule amending our disclosure and reporting regulations for Farm Credit System (System) institutions. The final rule clarifies and enhances existing disclosure requirements for reports to System shareholders and investors. The rule provides for ``real time'' disclosures to shareholders, investors, and the public by accelerating the time period for filing annual and quarterly reports. The final rule requires the Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation (Funding Corporation) to issue interim reports to investors in System-wide debt obligations based on policies and procedures it would have to adopt. Issuing interim reports will improve the timely and accurate distribution of System-wide financial information. The rule also supports financial accuracy certifications in periodic reports for all System institutions by requiring management of the Funding Corporation and the largest System institutions (with over $1 billion in assets) to annually review and report on the internal control over financial reporting. The Funding Corporation will have to provide for an annual attestation from its external auditor on the Funding Corporation's assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Further, this rule creates a regulatory section on the independence of external auditors, adding restrictions on non-audit services and conflicts of interest, as well as requiring auditor rotation.

The Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards was established by Section 29 of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA) in 1954. Its purpose is to provide advice to the Commission with regard to the hazards of proposed or existing reactor facilities, to review each application for a construction permit or operating license for certain facilities specified in the AEA, and such other duties as the Commission may request.

Membership on the Committee includes individuals experienced in reactor operations, management; probabilistic risk assessment; analysis of reactor accident phenomena; design of nuclear power plant structures, systems and components; materials science; and mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering.
