countries. The GSP is authorized by title 

V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 

2461, et seq.), as amended (the ‘‘1974 

Act’’), and is implemented in 

accordance with Executive Order 11888 

of November 24, 1975, as modified by 

subsequent Executive Orders and 

Presidential Proclamations. 

A. Petitions Requesting Modifications of 

Product Eligibility 

In a Federal Register notice dated 

June 29, 2006, USTR announced that the 

mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES

2034 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 10 / Wednesday, January 17, 2007 / Notices 

deadline for the filing of product 

petitions, other than those requesting 

waivers of ‘‘competitive need 

limitations’’ (CNLs), and country 

practice petitions for the 2006 GSP 

Annual Review was July 20, 2006 (71 

FR 37129). The deadline for the filing of 

product petitions requesting waivers of 

the CNLs was announced to be 

November 17, 2006. The product 

petitions received have requested 

changes in the list of GSP-eligible 

products by adding new products or by 

waiving the CNL for a country with 

respect to an eligible article. 

The interagency GSP Subcommittee of 

the Trade Policy Staff Committee 

(TPSC) has reviewed the product 

petitions, and the TPSC has decided to 

accept for review the product petitions 

listed in ‘‘List of Petitions Accepted in 

the 2006 GSP Annual Review’’ posted 

on the USTR Web site. That list sets 

forth, for each type of change requested: 

The case number, the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTS) 

subheading number, a brief description 

of the product (see the HTS for an 

authoritative description available on 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (USITC) Web site (http:// 

www.usitc.gov/tariffschedule), and the 

petitioner for each petition included in 

this review. Acceptance of a petition for 

review does not indicate any opinion 

with respect to the disposition on the 

merits of the petition. Acceptance 

indicates only that the listed petitions 

have been found eligible for review by 

the TPSC and that such review will take 

place. 

B. Petitions for Review Regarding 

Country Practices 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 2007.0(b), the GSP 

Subcommittee of the Trade Policy Staff 

Committee (TPSC) has recommended, 

and the TPSC has accepted or continued 

the review of several country practice 

petitions (see ‘‘List of Petitions 

Accepted in the 2006 GSP Annual 

Review’’ posted on the USTR Web site). 

Acceptance of a petition for review does 

not indicate any opinion with respect to 

the disposition on the merits of the 

petition. Acceptance indicates only that 

the petition has been found eligible for 

review by the TPSC and that such 

review will take place. 

C. Decision To Close a Review of 

Uganda Worker Rights Country 

Practices Petition 

In the 2006 GSP Annual Review, the 

GSP Subcommittee of the TPSC is 

conducting ongoing reviews of petitions 

concerning the country practices of 

certain beneficiary developing countries 

of the GSP program. In the 2005 GSP 

Annual Review, the TPSC accepted for 

review a country practices petition 

regarding worker rights in Uganda (case 

011–CP–05). The petitioner sought to 

remove Uganda’s eligibility for GSP 

benefits. Uganda has made considerable 

progress over the last year in improving 

its protection of labor rights. Based on 

that progress, the TPSC has decided to 

close the review of case 003–CP–06, 

Protection of Worker Rights in Uganda 

(formerly case 011–CP–05). 

Opportunities for Public Comment and 

Inspection of Comments 

The GSP Subcommittee of the TPSC

opposition to any petition which has 

been accepted for the 2006 GSP Annual 

Review. Submissions should comply

Extension: Rule 17Ad–16, SEC File No. 270–

363, OMB Control No. 3235–0413. 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the collection of information 

summarized below. The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

• Rule 17Ad–16: Notice of 

Assumption or Termination of Transfer 

Agent Services 

Rule 17Ad–16, (17 CFR 240.17Ad–

16), under the Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.), requires 

a registered transfer agent to provide 

written notice to the appropriate 

qualified registered securities 

depository when assuming or 

terminating transfer agent services on 

behalf of an issuer or when changing its 

name or address. In addition, transfer 

agents that provide such notice shall 

maintain such notice for a period of at 

least two years in an easily accessible 

place. This rule addresses the problem 

of certificate transfer delays caused by 

transfer requests that are directed to the 

wrong transfer agent or the wrong 

address. 

We estimate that the transfer agent 

industry submits 600 Rule 17Ad–16 

notices to appropriate qualified 

registered securities depositories. The 

staff estimates that the average amount 

of time necessary to create and submit 

each notice is approximately 15 minutes 

per notice. Accordingly, the estimated 

total industry burden is 150 hours per 

year (15 minutes multiplied by 600 

notices filed annually). 

Because the information needed by 

transfer agents to properly notify the 

appropriate registered securities 

depository is readily available to them 

and the report is simple and 

straightforward, the cost is minimal. 

The average cost to prepare and send a 

notice is approximately $7.50 (15 

minutes at $30 per hour). This yields an 

industry-wide cost estimate of $4,500 

(600 notices multiplied by $7.50 per 

notice). 

The retention period for the 

recordkeeping requirements under Rule 

17Ad–16 is two years for both the 

clearing agencies and transfer agents. 

The recordkeeping requirement under 

Rule 17Ad–16 is mandatory to ensure 

accurate securityholder records, prompt 

and efficient clearance and settlement of 

securities transactions, and to assist the 

Commission and other regulatory 

agencies with monitoring transfer agents 

and ensuring compliance with the rule. 

This rule does not involve the collection 

of confidential information. Please note 

that 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.
