consideration, the Commission may 

issue the amendment and make it 

immediately effective, notwithstanding 

the request for a hearing. Any hearing 

held would take place after issuance of 

the amendment. If the final 

determination is that the amendment 

request involves a significant hazards 

consideration, any hearing held would 

take place before the issuance of any 

amendment. 

Nontimely requests and/or petitions 

and contentions will not be entertained 

absent a determination by the 

Commission or the presiding officer that 

the petition, request and/or the 

contentions should be granted based on 

a balancing of the factors specified in 10 

CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)–(viii). 

A request for a hearing or a petition 

for leave to intervene must be filed by: 

(1) First class mail addressed to the 

Office of the Secretary of the 

Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

verification number is (301) 415–1966. 

A copy of the request for hearing and 

petition for leave to intervene should 

also be sent to the Office of the General 

Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001, and it is requested that copies be 

transmitted either by means of facsimile 

transmission to 301–415–3725 or by email to OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov. A copy 

of the request for hearing and petition 

for leave to intervene should also be 

sent Mr. John C. McClure, Nebraska 

Public Power District, Post Office Box 

499, Columbus, NE 63602–0499, 

attorney for the licensee. 

The Commission hereby provides 

notice that this is a proceeding on an 

application for a license amendment 

falling within the scope of section 134 

of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 

(NWPA), 42 U.S.C. 10154. Under 

section 134 of the NWPA, in certain 

contested proceedings the Commission, 

at the request of any party to the 

proceeding, must provide an 

opportunity for oral argument with 

respect to ‘‘any matter which the 

Commission determines to be in 

controversy among the parties.’’ Section 

134 provides for oral argument on 

matters in controversy, preceded by 

discovery under the Commission’s rules 

and the designation, following argument 

of only those factual issues that involve 

a genuine and substantial dispute, 

together with any remaining questions 

of law, to be resolved in an adjudicatory 

hearing. Actual adjudicatory hearings 

are to be held on only those issues 

found to meet the criteria of section 134 

and set for hearing after oral argument. 

The Commission’s rules 

implementing section 134 of the NWPA 

are found in 10 CFR Part 2, Subpart K, 

‘‘Hybrid Hearing Procedures for 

Expansion of Spent Fuel Storage 

Capacity at Civilian Nuclear Power 

Reactors.’’ Under those rules, any party 

to the proceeding may invoke the hybrid 

hearing procedures by filing with the 

presiding officer a written request for 

oral argument under 10 CFR 2.1109. To 

be timely, the request must be filed 

together with a request for hearing/ 

petition to intervene, filed in 

accordance with 10 CFR 2.309. If it is 

determined a hearing will be held, the 

presiding officer must grant a timely 

request for oral argument. The presiding 

officer may grant an untimely request 

for oral argument only upon a showing 

of good cause by the requesting party for 

the failure to file on time and after 

providing the other parties an 

opportunity to respond to the untimely 

request. If the presiding officer grants a 

request for oral argument, any hearing 

held on the application must be 

conducted in accordance with the 

hybrid hearing procedures. In essence, 

those procedures limit the time 

available for discovery and require that 

an oral argument be held to determine 

whether any contentions must be 

resolved in an adjudicatory hearing. If 

no party to the proceeding timely 

requests oral argument, and if all 

untimely requests for oral argument are 

denied, then the usual procedures in 10 

CFR Part 2, Subpart L apply. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see the application for 

amendment dated October 17, 2006, 

which is available for public inspection 

at the Commission’s PDR, located at 

One White Flint North, File Public Area 

O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first

COMMISSION 

[File No. 500–1] 

In the Matter of Forest Resources 

Management Corp.; Order of 

Suspension of Trading 

January 17, 2007. 

It appears to the Securities and 

Exchange Commission that there is a 

lack of current and accurate information 

concerning the securities of Forest 

Resources Management Corp. (‘‘Forest’’) 

because of questions raised regarding 

the accuracy and adequacy of publicly 

disseminated information concerning, 

among other things, Forest’s assets and 

Forest’s announced contracts and 

agreements. 

The Commission is of the opinion that 

the public interest and the protection of 

investors require a suspension of trading 

in the securities of the above-listed 

company. 

Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to 

Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, that trading in the abovelisted company is suspended for the 

period from 9:30 a.m. EST, January 17, 

2007, through 11:59 p.m. EST, on 

January 30, 2007. 

By the Commission.

Self-Regulatory Organizations;

Listing Fees for Transferring and Dual 

Listing Issuers and Reverse Mergers 

January 12, 2007. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on January 8, 

2007, the American Stock Exchange LLC 

(‘‘Amex’’ or ‘‘Exchange’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I and II 

below, which Items have been 

substantially prepared by Amex. The 

Exchange has designated the proposed 

rule change as a ‘‘non-controversial’’

rule change pursuant to Section 

19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act 3 and Rule 

19b–4(f)(6) thereunder,4 which renders 

the proposal effective upon filing with 

the Commission. The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The Exchange proposes to amend (A) 

Section 140 of the Amex Company 

Guide to waive the initial listing fee and 

listing application fee for any issuer 

listed on another national securities 

exchange that transfers its listing to or 

dual lists on the Exchange, (B) Section 

141 of the Amex Company Guide to 

assess the standard annual listing fee for 

any issuer listed on another national 

securities exchange that dual lists on the 

Exchange, (C) Section 142 of the Amex 

Company Guide to waive additional 

listing fees for a one-year period from 

the date of initial listing for any issuer 

listed on another national securities 

exchange that dual lists on the 

Exchange, and (D) Section 341 of the 

Amex Company Guide to impose a flat 

$5,000 fee and no listing of additional 

shares fees for Reverse Mergers (as 

defined below) that occur within 24

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the Amex’s Web site at

Exchange included statements 

concerning the purpose of, and basis for, 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the

Exchange has prepared summaries, set 

forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

(a) Transfers and Dual Listings. 

Currently, an issuer listed on another 

national securities exchange that 

transfers its listing to Amex (i.e., the 

issuer becomes listed on Amex and 

ceases to be listed on the other 

exchange) is subject to an initial listing 

fee as set forth in Section 140 (Original 

Listing Fees) of the Amex Company 

Guide and a one-time listing application 

fee of $5,000 upon initial listing. The
