Cimarron Environmental Response Trust Cimarron Facility
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a license amendment application from the licensee, Cimarron Environmental Response Trust (CERT) for the Cimarron Facility, located in Logan County, Oklahoma. The license authorizes possession of Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Material (SNM-928). CERT requested approval of its proposed Facility Decommissioning Plan (DP), Rev. 1 for the Cimarron Facility in Guthrie, Oklahoma and incorporation of the DP into its license by license amendment. The requested license amendment would also: Revise to the possession limit; change the description of the licensed site; eliminate License Conditions that are no longer applicable; and incorporate a revised Radiation Protection Program into the license. The requested license amendment is necessary for CERT to complete the remaining decommissioning activities needed for NRC to release the Cimarron site for unrestricted use. The requested license amendment is also necessary to ultimately terminate Special Materials License SNM-928; however, license termination is a separate action that requires a separate application from CERT and a separate NRC finding that the site is suitable for release.

Securities Offering Reform for Closed-End Investment Companies
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') is proposing rules that would modify the registration, communications, and offering processes for business development companies (``BDCs'') and other closed-end investment companies under the Securities Act of 1933. As directed by Congress, we are proposing rules that would allow these investment companies to use the securities offering rules that are already available to operating companies. The proposed rules would extend to closed-end investment companies offering reforms currently available to operating company issuers by expanding the definition of ``well-known seasoned issuer'' to allow these investment companies to qualify; streamlining the registration process for these investment companies, including the process for shelf registration; permitting these investment companies to satisfy their final prospectus delivery requirements by filing the prospectus with the Commission; and permitting additional communications by and about these investment companies during a registered public offering. In addition, the proposed rules would include amendments to our rules and forms intended to tailor the disclosure and regulatory framework to these investment companies. The proposed rules also include a modernized approach to securities registration fee payment that would require closed-end investment companies that operate as ``interval funds'' to pay securities registration fees using the same method that mutual funds use today. Lastly, we are proposing certain structured data reporting requirements, including the use of structured data format for filings on the form providing annual notice of securities sold pursuant to the rule under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that prescribes the method by which certain investment companies (including mutual funds) calculate and pay registration fees.
