five groups. The first group contains 

approximately 30 RGs that needed to be 

revised or developed by March 2007 to 

support anticipated new reactor 

licensing activities later this year. The 

second group includes RGs that are 

planned to be revised or developed, and 

published by December 2008. The third 

group contains RGs that are planned to 

be revised or developed, and published 

by December 2009. The fourth group 

includes RGs that will be considered for 

withdrawal. The fifth group contains all 

remaining RGs that are not planned to 

be updated by December 2009. 

The lists of RGs for each of these five 

groups, including publication schedules 

and public comment periods, can be 

found at the NRC’s Electronic Reading 

Room on the agency’s public Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/reg-guides/ and in the 

Agencywide Document Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) at 

ML071230154. The RG status 

information on the NRC’s Web site will 

be updated periodically. 

Discussion: Through the years, the 

NRC has established 10 broad divisions 

of RGs. RGs in all 10 divisions were 

considered for updating under this 

program. The RG divisions can be found 

at the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room 

on the agency’s public Web site at 

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/reg-guides/ and are as 

follows: 

• Division 1, Power Reactors 

• Division 2, Research and Test 

Reactors 

• Division 3, Fuels and Materials 

Facilities 

• Division 4, Environmental and 

Siting 

• Division 5, Materials and Plant 

Protection 

• Division 6, Products 

• Division 7, Transportation 

• Division 8, Occupational Health 

• Division 9, Antitrust and Financial 

Review 

• Division 10, General 

Solicitation of Comments and Dates: 

The NRC is soliciting comments on the 

NRC’s proposed prioritization of the 

groups 2, 3, 4 and 5 RGs. Specifically, 

comments are solicited for the following 

questions. Each comment should 

include supporting basis or rationale to 

enable the staff to fully understand the 

point of view being provided. 

1. Which, if any, RGs identified as 

group 3 need to be developed or revised 

sooner, and thus, should be in group 2? 

2. Which, if any, RGs identified as 

group 2 should not be developed or 

revised until after some other action is 

taken, and thus, should be in group 3? 

3. Which, if any, RGs identified as 

groups 2, 3 and 5 are no longer useful 

or the guidelines are adequately 

addressed elsewhere and should be 

withdrawn (added to group 4)? (If the 

guidelines are addressed elsewhere, 

please state specifically where they are 

located.) 

4. Which, if any, RGs that are not 

identified as group 2 or 3 need to be 

developed or revised by December 

2009? (Please include specific reasons.) 

5. Which, if any, RGs identified in 

group 4 should not be considered for 

withdrawal? (Please provide specific 

examples which demonstrate the need 

to maintain the RG.) 

Comments are requested within 30 

days from the date of this Federal 

Register notice. The list of the RGs in 

each group and by division can be 

found at the NRC’s Electronic Reading 

Room on the agency’s public Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/reg-guides/. The RG status 

information on the NRC’s Web site will 

be updated periodically.

Regulation S–AM; SEC File No. 270–548; 

OMB Control No. 3235–0609. 

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. 

Regulation S–AM: Limitations on 

Affiliate Marketing 

Regulation S–AM implements the 

requirements of Section 214 of the Fair 

and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 

2003 (Pub. L. 108–159) (‘‘FACT Act’’) as 

applied to brokers, dealers, and 

investment companies, as well as 

investment advisers and transfer agents 

that are registered with the Commission 

(collectively, ‘‘Covered Persons’’). As 

directed by Section 214 of the FACT 

Act, before a receiving affiliate may 

make marketing solicitations based on 

the communication of certain consumer 

financial information from a Covered 

Person, the Covered Person must 

provide a notice to each affected 

individual informing the individual of 

his or her right to prohibit such 

marketing. The regulation potentially 

applies to all of the approximately 

22,106 Covered Persons registered with 

the Commission, although only 

approximately 15,474 of them have one 

or more corporate affiliates, and the 

regulation would require only 

approximately 2,211 of them to provide 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
28086 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 96 / Friday, May 18, 2007 / Notices 

consumers with notice and an opt-out 

opportunity. 

The Commission has estimated that 

each of the approximately 15,474 

Covered Persons having one or more 

affiliates would require an average onetime burden of 1 hour to review affiliate 

marketing practices, for a total of 15,474 

hours, at a total staff cost of 

approximately $3,791,130. 

Approximately 2,211 Covered Persons 

would be required to provide notice and 

opt-out and would incur an average 

first-year burden of 6 hours in doing so, 

for a total estimated first-year burden of 

13,266 hours, at a total staff cost of 

approximately $2,510,590.50. With 

regard to continuing notice burdens, 

each of the approximately 2,211 

Covered Persons required to provide 

notice and opt-out would incur a onetime first-year burden of 2 hours to 

develop notices for new consumers and 

an annual burden of 2 hours to deliver 

the notices and record any opt-outs, at 

a total staff cost of approximately 

$1,673,727. Averaged across the first 

three years for which compliance would 

be required, the total average yearly 

burden would be approximately 12,528 

hours and $7,975,447.50 in staff costs.

Proposed Collection; Comment

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Extension: 

Form BD/Rule 15b1–1; SEC File No. 

270–19; OMB Control No. 3235–

0012. 

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. 

Form BD (17 CFR 249.501) under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is the application 

form used by firms to apply to the 

Commission for registration as a brokerdealer. Form BD also is used by firms 

other than banks and registered brokerdealers to apply to the Commission for 

registration as a municipal securities 

dealer or a government securities 

broker-dealer. In addition, Form BD is 

used to change information contained in 

a previous Form BD filing that becomes 

inaccurate. 

The total annual burden imposed by 

Form BD is approximately 6,808 hours, 

based on approximately 18,174 

responses (335 initial filings + 17,839 

amendments). Each initial filing 

requires approximately 2.75 hours to 

complete and each amendment requires 

approximately 20 minutes to complete. 

There is no annual cost burden. 

The Commission uses the information 

disclosed by applicants in Form BD: (1) 

To determine whether the applicant 

meets the standards for registration set 

forth in the provisions of the Exchange 

Act; (2) to develop a central information 

resource where members of the public 

may obtain relevant, up-to-date 

information about broker-dealers, 

municipal securities dealers and 

government securities broker-dealers, 

and where the Commission, other 

regulators and SROs may obtain 

information for investigatory purposes 

in connection with securities litigation; 

and (3) to develop statistical 

information about broker-dealers, 

municipal securities dealers and 

government securities broker-dealers. 

Without the information disclosed in 

Form BD, the Commission could not 

effectively implement policy objectives 

of the Exchange Act with respect to its 

investor protection function. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Consideration will be given to 

comments and suggestions submitted in 

writing within 60 days of this 

publication. 

Direct your written comments to R.

Regulation 12B; OMB Control No.

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. 

Regulation 12B (17 CFR 240.12b–1—

12b–37) includes rules governing all 

registration statements pursuant to 

Sections 12(b) and 12(g) (U.S.C. 78l(b) 

and 78l(g)) of the Securities Exchange 

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

(‘‘Exchange Act’’), including all 

amendments to such statements and 

reports. The purpose of the regulation is 

to set forth guidelines for the uniform 

preparation of Exchange Act documents. 

Regulation 12B is assigned one burden 

hour for administrative convenience 

because the regulation simply prescribes 

the disclosure that must appear in other 

filings under the federal securities laws. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether this proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;
