Copies of such filing also will be 

available for inspection and copying at

comments received will be posted

not edit personal identifying 

information from submissions. You 

should submit only information that

V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed 

Rule Change, as Modified by 

Amendment No. 1 

The Commission finds good cause for 

approving the proposed rule change, as 

modified by Amendment No. 1, before 

the 30th day after the date of 

publication in the Federal Register. The 

Commission notes that the proposal was 

published for notice and comment, and 

the Commission received ten comment 

letters, which comments have been 

discussed in detail above. Amendment 

No. 1 proposes to amend proposed Rule 

A–3(i)(i)(B)(3) to explicitly provide that, 

of the regulated representatives on the 

Board, ‘‘at least one, and not less than 

30 percent of the total number of 

regulated representatives, shall be 

associated with and representative of 

municipal advisors and shall not be 

associated with a broker, dealer or a 

municipal securities dealer.’’ The 

Commission notes that in the MSRB’s 

Response Letter, the MSRB expressed its 

expectation that the advisor 

representatives would be ‘‘advisors that 

are not affiliated with broker-dealers or 

banks.’’ 82 Amendment No. 1 provides 

additional clarification that the advisor 

representatives on the Board during the 

transitional period will be independent 

advisors not associated with brokers, 

dealers or municipal securities dealers. 

In addition, Amendment No. 1 

proposes that, with respect to the 

formation of the Nominating Committee 

for purposes of nominating potential 

new members of the Board with terms 

commencing on October 1, 2011, the 

Board shall amend the provisions of 

section (c) of Rule A–3 relating to the 

composition and procedures of the 

Nominating Committee, among other 

things, to assure that the Nominating 

Committee shall be composed of a 

majority of public representatives and to 

assure fair representation of bank 

representatives, broker-dealer 

representatives and advisor 

representatives. Section 15B(b)(2)(B) of 

the Exchange Act provides that the 

MSRB’s rules must, at a minimum, 

‘‘establish fair procedures for the 

nomination and election of members of 

the Board and assure fair representation 

in such nominations and elections of 

public representatives, broker dealer 

representatives, bank representatives, 

and advisor representatives.’’ 83 In 

addition, as discussed above, Section 

15B(b)(2)(B)(i) of the Exchange Act 

provides that the MSRB’s rules shall 

provide that the number of public 

representatives of the Board shall at all 

times exceed the total number of 

regulated representatives. Amendment 

No. 1 proposes that the Nominating 

Committee would reflect the new 

composition of the Board with a 

majority public representation and with 

fair representation of bank 

representatives, broker-dealer 

representatives and advisor 

representatives. 

The Commission believes that 

Amendment No. 1 is consistent with the 

requirements of the Exchange Act and 

finds good cause, consistent with 

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,84 to approve 

the proposed rule change, as modified 

by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated 

basis. 

VI. Conclusion 

For the foregoing reasons, the 

Commission finds that the proposed 

rule change, as modified by Amendment 

No. 1, is consistent with the 

requirements of the Exchange Act and 

the rules and regulations thereunder 

applicable to the MSRB, and in 

particular, Sections 15B(b)(1) 85 and 

15B(b)(2) 86 of the Exchange Act. 

It is therefore ordered that, pursuant 

to Section 19(b)(2) of the Exchange 

Act,87 the proposed rule change (SR– 

MSRB–2010–08), as modified by 

Amendment No. 1 be, and it hereby is, 

approved on an accelerated basis. 

By the Commission.

Deputy Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

Notice and Request for Comments 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, 

DOT. 

ACTION: 30-Day notice of request for 

approval: report of fuel cost, 

consumption, and surcharge revenue. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 501– 

3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation 

Board (STB or Board) has submitted a 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for an extension of 

approval for the collection of the Rail 

Fuel Surcharge Report. The Board 

previously published a notice about this 

collection in the Federal Register on 

June 29, 2010, at 75 FR 37,522. That 

notice allowed for a 60-day public 

review and comment period. No 

comments were received. The Rail Fuel 

Surcharge Report is described in detail 

below. Comments may now be 

submitted to OMB concerning (1) the 

accuracy of the Board’s burden 

estimates; (2) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (3) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, when 

appropriate; and (4) whether this 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Board, including 

whether the collection has practical 

utility. 

Description of Collection 

Title: Report of Fuel Cost, 

Consumption, and Surcharge Revenue. 

OMB Control Number: 2140–0014. 

STB Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change. 

Respondents: Class I railroads 

(railroads with operating revenues 

exceeding $250 million in 1991 dollars). 

Number of Respondents: 7. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Frequency: Monthly. 

Total Burden Hours (annually 

including all respondents): 84 hours. 

Total ‘‘Non-hour Burden’’ Cost: None 

identified. 

Needs and Uses: Under 49 U.S.C. 

10702, the Surface Transportation Board 

has the authority to address the 

reasonableness of a rail carrier’s 

practices. The proposed information 

collection is intended to permit the 

Board to monitor the current fuel 

surcharge practices of the Class I 

carriers. Failure to collect this 

information would impede the Board’s 

ability to monitor the current fuel 

surcharge practices of Class I carriers. 

The Board has authority to collect 

information about rail costs and 

revenues under 49 U.S.C. 11144 and 

11145.
