formulation of standards for protection 

against hazards of radiation and in assuring 

that Commonwealth and Commission 

programs for protection against hazards of 

radiation will be coordinated and 

compatible; and, 

WHEREAS, The Commission and the 

Commonwealth recognize the desirability of 

the reciprocal recognition of licenses, and of 

the granting of limited exemptions from 

licensing of those materials subject to this 

Agreement; and, 

WHEREAS, This Agreement is entered into 

pursuant to the provisions of the Act; NOW, 

THEREFORE, It is hereby agreed between the 

Commission and the Governor of the 

Commonwealth acting on behalf of the 

Commonwealth as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

Subject to the exceptions provided in 

Articles II, IV, and V, the Commission shall

Act with respect to the following materials: 

1. Byproduct materials as defined in 

Section 11e.(1) of the Act; 

2. Byproduct materials as defined in 

Section 11e.(3) of the Act; 

3. Byproduct materials as defined in

4. Source materials; 

5. Special nuclear materials in quantities 

not sufficient to form a critical mass. 

6. The regulation of the land disposal of all 

byproduct, source, and special nuclear waste 

materials covered by this Agreement; 

ARTICLE II 

This Agreement does not provide for 

discontinuance of any authority and the 

Commission shall retain authority and 

responsibility with respect to: 

1. The regulation of the construction and 

operation of any production or utilization 

facility or any uranium enrichment facility; 

2. The regulation of the export from or 

import into the United States of byproduct, 

source, or special nuclear material, or of any 

production or utilization facility; 

3. The regulation of the disposal into the 

ocean or sea of byproduct, source, or special 

nuclear materials waste as defined in the 

regulations or orders of the Commission; 

4. The regulation of the disposal of such 

other byproduct, source, or special nuclear 

materials waste as the Commission from time 

to time determines by regulation or order 

should, because of the hazards or potential 

hazards thereof, not be disposed without a 

license from the Commission; 

5. The evaluation of radiation safety 

information on sealed sources or devices 

containing byproduct, source, or special 

nuclear materials and the registration of the 

sealed sources or devices for distribution, as 

provided for in regulations or orders of the 

Commission. 

ARTICLE III 

With the exception of those activities 

identified in Article II.A.1 through 4, this 

Agreement may be amended, upon 

application by the Commonwealth and 

approval by the Commission, to include one 

or more of the additional activities specified 

in Article II, whereby the Commonwealth 

may then exert regulatory authority and 

responsibility with respect to those activities. 

ARTICLE IV 

Notwithstanding this Agreement, the 

Commission may from time to time by rule, 

regulation, or order, require that the 

manufacturer, processor, or producer of any 

equipment, device, commodity, or other 

product containing source, byproduct, or 

special nuclear material shall not transfer 

possession or control of such product except 

pursuant to a license or an exemption from 

licensing issued by the Commission. 

ARTICLE V 

This Agreement shall not affect the 

authority of the Commission under 

SubSection 161b or 161i of the Act to issue 

rules, regulations, or orders to protect the 

common defense and security, to protect 

restricted data, or to guard against the loss or 

diversion of special nuclear material. 

ARTICLE VI 

The Commission will cooperate with the 

Commonwealth and other Agreement States 

in the formulation of standards and 

regulatory programs of the State and the 

Commission for protection against hazards of 

radiation and to assure that Commission and 

Commonwealth programs for protection 

against hazards of radiation will be 

coordinated and compatible. The 

Commonwealth agrees to cooperate with the 

Commission and other Agreement States in 

the formulation of standards and regulatory 

programs of the Commonwealth and the 

Commission for protection against hazards of 

radiation and to assure that the 

Commonwealth’s program will continue to 

be compatible with the program of the 

Commission for the regulation of materials 

covered by this Agreement. 

The Commonwealth and the Commission 

agree to keep each other informed of 

proposed changes in their respective rules 

and regulations, and to provide each other 

the opportunity for early and substantive 

contribution to the proposed changes. 

The Commonwealth and the Commission 

agree to keep each other informed of events, 

accidents, and licensee performance that may 

have generic implication or otherwise be of 

regulatory interest. 

ARTICLE VII 

The Commission and the Commonwealth 

agree that it is desirable to provide reciprocal 

recognition of licenses for the materials listed 

in Article I licensed by the other party or by 

any other Agreement State. Accordingly, the 

Commission and the Commonwealth agree to 

develop appropriate rules, regulations, and 

procedures by which such reciprocity will be 

accorded. 

ARTICLE VIII 

The Commission, upon its own initiative 

after reasonable notice and opportunity for 

hearing to the Commonwealth, or upon 

request of the Governor of the 

Commonwealth, may terminate or suspend 

all or part of this agreement and reassert the 

licensing and regulatory authority vested in 

it under the Act if the Commission finds that 

(1) Such termination or suspension is 

required to protect public health and safety, 

or (2) the Commonwealth has not complied 

with one or more of the requirements of 

Section 274 of the Act. The Commission may 

also, pursuant to Section 274j of the Act, 

temporarily suspend all or part of this 

agreement if, in the judgment of the 

Commission, an emergency situation exists 

requiring immediate action to protect public 

health and safety and the Commonwealth has 

failed to take necessary steps. The 

Commission shall periodically review actions 

taken by the Commonwealth under this 

Agreement to ensure compliance with 

Section 274 of the Act which requires a 

Commonwealth program to be adequate to 

protect public health and safety with respect 

to the materials covered by this Agreement 

and to be compatible with the Commission’s 

program. 

ARTICLE IX 

This Agreement shall become effective on 

[date], and shall remain in effect unless and 

until such time as it is terminated pursuant 

to Article VIII.

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC 

20549. 

Extension: 

Rule 6a–3, SEC File No. 270–0015, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0021. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Section 6 of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.) sets out a framework for the 

registration and regulation of national 

securities exchanges. Under 

Commission Rule 6a–3 (17 CFR 240.6a–

3), one of the rules that implements 

Section 6, a national securities exchange 

(or an exchange exempted from 

registration based on limited trading 

volume) must provide certain 

supplemental information to the 

Commission, including any material 

(including notices, circulars, bulletins, 

lists, and periodicals) issued or made 

generally available to members of, or 

participants or subscribers to, the 

exchange. Rule 6a–3 also requires the 

exchanges to file monthly reports that 

set forth the volume and aggregate 

dollar amount of securities sold on the 

exchange each month. The information 

required to be filed with the 

Commission pursuant to Rule 6a–3 is 

designed to enable the Commission to 

carry out its statutorily mandated 

oversight functions and to ensure that 

registered and exempt exchanges 

continue to be in compliance with the 

Act. 

The respondents to the collection of 

information are national securities 

exchanges and exchanges that are 

exempt from registration based on 

limited trading volume. 

The Commission estimates that each 

respondent makes approximately 25 

such filings on an annual basis at an 

average cost of approximately $21 per 

response. Currently, 12 respondents (ten 

national securities exchanges and two 

exempt exchanges) are subject to the 

collection of information requirements 

of Rule 6a–3. The Commission estimates 

that the total burden for all respondents 

is 150 hours (25 filings/respondent per 

year × 0.5 hours/filing × 12 respondents) 

and $6300 ($21/response × 25 

responses/respondent per year × 12 

respondents) per year. 

Compliance with Rule 6a–3 is 

mandatory for registered and exempt 

exchanges. Information received in 

response to Rule 6a–3 shall not be kept 

confidential; the information collected 

is public information. As set forth in 

Rule 17a–1 under the Act,1 a national 

securities exchange is required to retain 

records of the collection of information 

for at least five years. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

control number.

Exchange Commission, Office of

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Filings and 

Information Services, Washington, DC

Extension: 

Form 1, Rules 6a–1 and 6a–2; SEC File No. 

270–0017; OMB Control No. 3235–0017. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities 

and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’) sets 

forth a regulatory scheme for national 

securities exchanges. Rule 6a–1 (17 CFR 

240.6a–1) under the Act generally 

requires an applicant for initial 

registration as a national securities 

exchange to file an application with the 

Commission on Form 1. An exchange 

that seeks an exemption from 

registration based on limited trading 

volume also must apply for such 

exemption on Form 1. Rule 6a–2 (17 

CFR 240.6a–2) under the Act requires 

registered and exempt exchanges: (1) to 

amend the Form 1 if there are any 

material changes to the information 

provided in the initial Form 1; and (2) 

to submit periodic updates of certain 

information provided in the initial Form 

1, whether such information has 

changed or not. The information 

required pursuant to Rules 6a–1 and 6a–

2 is necessary to enable the Commission 

to maintain accurate files regarding the 

exchange and to exercise its statutory 

oversight functions. Without the 

information submitted pursuant to Rule 

6a–1 on Form 1, the Commission would 

not be able to determine whether the 

respondent met the criteria for 

registration or exemption set forth in 

Sections 6 and 19 of the Act. Without 

the amendments and periodic updates 

of information submitted pursuant to 

Rule 6a–2, the Commission would have 

substantial difficulty determining 

whether a national securities exchange 

or exempt exchange was continuing to 

operate in compliance with the Act. 

The respondents to the collection of 

information are entities that seek 

registration as a national securities 

exchange or that seek exemption from 

registration based on limited trading 

volume. After the initial filing of Form
