market integrity, both on the ECM itself 

and in any related futures contracts 

trading on designated contract markets 

(‘‘DCMs’’). An Order finding that a 

particular contract is a SPDC triggers 

this increased oversight and imposes 

obligations on the ECM calculated to 

accomplish this goal. The increased 

oversight engendered by the issuance of 

a SPDC Order increases transparency 

and helps to ensure fair competition 

among ECMs and DCMs trading similar 

products and competing for the same 

business. Moreover, the ECM on which 

the SPDC is traded must assume, with 

respect to that contract, all the 

responsibilities and obligations of a 

registered entity under the CEA and 

Commission regulations. Additionally, 

the ECM must comply with nine core 

principles established by section 2(h)(7) 

of the Act—including the obligation to 

establish position limits and/or 

accountability standards for the SPDC. 

Amendments to section 4(i) of the CEA 

authorize the Commission to require 

large trader reports for SPDCs listed on 

ECMs. These increased ECM 

responsibilities, along with the CFTC’s 

increased regulatory authority, subject 

the ECM’s risk management practices to 

the Commission’s supervision and 

oversight and generally enhance the 

financial integrity of the markets. 

V. Order 

After considering the complete record 

in this matter and the comment letters 

received in response to its request for 

comments, the Commission has 

determined to issue the following: 

Order 

The Commission, pursuant to its 

authority under section 2(h)(7) of the 

Act, hereby determines that the ICE 

Henry Financial LD1 Fixed Price 

contract satisfies the statutory material 

liquidity, price linkage and arbitrage 

criteria for a significant price discovery 

contract. Consistent with this 

determination, and effective 

immediately, IntercontinentalExchange, 

Inc., shall be and is considered a 

registered entity with respect to the 

Henry Financial LD1 Fixed Price 

contract and is subject to all the 

provisions of the Commodity Exchange 

Act applicable to registered entities. 

Further, the obligations, requirements 

and timetables prescribed in 

Commission rule 36.3(c)(4) governing 

core principle compliance by 

IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. 

commence with the issuance of this 

Order. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 24, 

2009, by the Commission. 

David A. Stawick, 

Secretary of the Commission.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 

Secretariat will be submitting to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request to review and approve 

an extension of a currently approved 

information collection requirement 

concerning use of data universal 

numbering system (DUNS) as primary 

contractor identification. The Data 

Universal Numbering System (DUNS) 

number is the nine-digit identification 

number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet 

Information Services to an 

establishment. A request for public 

comments was published in the Federal 

Register at 74 FR 18719 on April 24, 

2009. 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS) number is the nine-digit 

identification number assigned by Dun 

and Bradstreet Information Services to 

an establishment. The Government uses 

the DUNS number to identify 

contractors in reporting to the Federal 

Procurement Data System (FPDS). The 

FPDS provides a comprehensive 

mechanism for assembling, organizing, 

and presenting contract placement data 

for the Federal Government. Federal 

agencies report data on all contracts in 

excess of the micro-purchase threshold 

to the Federal Procurement Data Center 

which collects, processes, and 

disseminates official statistical data on 

Federal contracting. Contracting officers 

insert the Federal Acquisition 

Regulation (FAR) provision at 52.204–6, 

Data Universal Numbering System 

(DUNS) Number, in solicitations they 

expect will result in contracts in excess 

of the micro-purchase threshold and do 

not contain FAR 52.204–7, Central 

Contractor Registration. This provision 

requires offerors to submit their DUNS 

number with their offer. If the offeror 

does not have a DUNS number, the 

provision provides instructions on 

obtaining one. 

C. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 35,694. 

Responses per Respondent: 4.00. 

Annual Responses: 142,776. 

Hours per Response: .0200 

(Averaged). 

Total Burden Hours: 2,852. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from

Department of the Navy 

Notice of Partially Closed Meeting of 

the U.S. Naval Academy Board of 

Visitors 

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Naval Academy 

Board of Visitors will meet to make such 

inquiry, as the Board shall deem 

necessary into the state of morale and 

discipline, the curriculum, instruction, 

physical equipment, fiscal affairs, and 

academic methods of the Naval 

Academy. The meeting will include 

discussions of personnel issues at the 

Naval Academy, the disclosure of which 

would constitute a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy. The 

executive session of this meeting will be 

closed to the public. 

DATES: The open session of the meeting 

will be held on Monday, September 

14th, 2009, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The 

closed Executive Session will be held 

from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in 

the Russell Senate Office Building, 

Room SR–385, Washington DC. The 

meeting will be handicap accessible. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lieutenant Commander David S. 

Forman, USN, Executive Secretary to 

the Board of Visitors, Office of the 

Superintendent, U.S. Naval Academy, 

Annapolis, MD 21402–5000, telephone: 

(410) 293–1503. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice of meeting is provided per the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App.). The executive 

session of the meeting will consist of 

discussions of personnel issues at the 

Naval Academy and internal Board of 

Visitors matters. The proposed closed 

session from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. will 

include a discussion of new and 

pending administrative/minor 

disciplinary infractions and nonjudicial 

punishments involving the Midshipmen 

attending the Naval Academy to include 

but not limited to individual honor/ 

conduct violations within the Brigade. 

Discussion of such information cannot 

be adequately segregated from other 

topics, which precludes opening the 

executive session of this meeting to the 

public. Accordingly, the Secretary of the 

Navy has determined in writing that the 

meeting shall be partially closed to the 

public because it will be concerned with 

matters listed in section 552b(c)(5), (6), 

and (7) of title 5, United States Code.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 

Notice of Proposed Information 

Collection Requests 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

SUMMARY: The Director, Information

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before 

September 28, 2009. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) provide interested 

Federal agencies and the public an early 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection requests. OMB may amend or 

waive the requirement for public 

consultation to the extent that public 

participation in the approval process 

would defeat the purpose of the 

information collection, violate State or 

Federal law, or substantially interfere 

with any agency’s ability to perform its 

statutory obligations. The Director, 

Information Collection Clearance 

Division, Regulatory Information 

Management Services, Office of 

Management, publishes that notice 

containing proposed information 

collection requests prior to submission 

of these requests to OMB. Each 

proposed information collection, 

grouped by office, contains the 

following: (1) Type of review requested, 

e.g., new, revision, extension, existing 

or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary 

of the collection; (4) Description of the 

need for, and proposed use of, the 

information; (5) Respondents and 

frequency of collection; and (6) 

Reporting and/or recordkeeping burden. 

OMB invites public comment. 

The Department of Education is 

especially interested in public comment 

addressing the following issues: (1) Is 

this collection necessary to the proper 

functions of the Department; (2) will 

this information be processed and used 

in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate 

of burden accurate; (4) how might the 

Department enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (5) how might the 

Department minimize the burden of this 

collection on the respondents, including 

through the use of information 

technology.

Federal Student Aid 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Title: Student Aid on the Web. 

Frequency: On Occasion; Monthly; 

Annually. 

Affected Public: Federal Government; 

Individuals or Household; State, Local, 

or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or LEAs.

Burden: 

Responses: 6,655,377. 

Burden Hours: 245,198. 

Abstract: Federal Student Aid, an 

office of the U.S. Department of 

Education, seeks renewal of the 

registration system within the Student 

Aid on the Web, an Internet Portal Web 

site (hereafter ‘‘The Web Site’’). The 

Web site makes the college application 

process more efficient, faster, and 

accurate by making it an automated, 

electronic process that targets financial 

aid and college applications. The Web 

site uses some personal contact 

information criteria to automatically fill 

out the forms and surveys initiated by 

the user. The Web site also provides a 

database of demographic information 

that helps Federal Student Aid target 

the distribution of financial aid 

materials to specific groups of students 

and/or parents. For example, studies 

have shown that providing student 

financial assistance information to 

middle school (or elementary school) 

students and/or their parents 

dramatically increases the likelihood 

that those students will attend college. 

The demographic information from the 

Web site helps us to identify potential 

customers in the middle school age 

range. The FAFSA4caster Data Transfer 

module has been added to the Web site 

since its last approval. As with the 

FAFSA Data Transfer module, data from 

the student’s MyFSA profile prepopulates the FAFSA4caster— 

FAFSA4caster is the U.S. Department of 

Education’s financial aid estimator tool 

that determines what type of financial 

aid the student is eligible to receive and
