Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 178 / Thursday, September 13, 2018 / Notices 46525 

conducted a joint research program on 

weld residual stress (WRS) modeling 

under a memorandum of understanding. 

This research program consisted of 

several modeling and measurement 

studies on prototypic mockups to 

represent the residual stress state in 

safety-related nuclear components 

susceptible to primary water stress 

corrosion cracking, see NUREG–2162 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML14087A118). 

Since then, the NRC has made use of the 

data gained in that research program to 

formulate a potential validation scheme 

for finite element modeling of WRS. The 

NRC’s proposal is documented in a draft 

NUREG entitled, ‘‘Weld Residual Stress 

Finite Element Analysis Validation: Part 

II–Proposed Validation Procedure’’ 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML18242A007). 

The NRC is requesting public comment 

on this document. Specifically, the NRC 

would like feedback on four specific 

technical issues related to the proposed 

validation procedure: 

1. The NRC recommended the use of 

the average hardening approach in the 

current version of the draft NUREG 

(‘‘average hardening’’ meaning the 

arithmetic mean of isotropic and 

nonlinear kinematic results). Given the 

discussion in Section 5.2, please 

comment on the advantages and 

disadvantages of using either the 

averaging approach or isotropic 

hardening. What initial and recurring 

costs are foreseen in implementing 

either approach in future analyses? 

2. The NRC introduced four options 

for benchmark in Section 5.4.2. The 

NRC chose to develop the validation 

scheme with a benchmark based upon 

the modeling results, rather than the 

measurements. Please comment on the 

NRC’s proposal and whether the 

justification is adequate. 

3. Please comment on the proposed 

quality metrics introduced in Section 

5.4.7. Are these metrics appropriate for 

their intended purpose? Has the NRC 

presented an appropriate technical 

justification (see Sections 5.4.8 and 

5.4.10) for the proposed metrics? 

4. Please comment on the feasibility 

of the proposed validation scheme. 

What initial (e.g., software and guidance 

development) and recurring (i.e., costs 

for each analysis) costs are foreseen for 

implementing the validation scheme?

I. Introduction 

The Commission gives notice that the 

Postal Service filed request(s) for the 

Commission to consider matters related 

to negotiated service agreement(s). The 

request(s) may propose the addition or

Extension: 

Rule 154; SEC File No. 270–438; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0495. 

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 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. 

The federal securities laws generally 

prohibit an issuer, underwriter, or 

dealer from delivering a security for sale 

unless a prospectus meeting certain 

requirements accompanies or precedes 

the security. Rule 154 (17 CFR 230.154) 

under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 

U.S.C. 77a) (the ‘‘Securities Act’’) 

permits, under certain circumstances, 

delivery of a single prospectus to 

investors who purchase securities from 

the same issuer and share the same 

address (‘‘householding’’) to satisfy the 

applicable prospectus delivery 

requirements.1 The purpose of rule 154 

is to reduce the amount of duplicative 

prospectuses delivered to investors 

sharing the same address. 

Under rule 154, a prospectus is 

considered delivered to all investors at 

a shared address, for purposes of the 

federal securities laws, if the person 

relying on the rule delivers the 

prospectus to the shared address, 

addresses the prospectus to the 

investors as a group or to each of the 

investors individually, and the investors 

consent to the delivery of a single 

prospectus. The rule applies to 

prospectuses and prospectus 

supplements. Currently, the rule 

permits householding of all 

prospectuses by an issuer, underwriter, 

or dealer relying on the rule if, in 

addition to the other conditions set forth 

in the rule, the issuer, underwriter, or 

dealer has obtained from each investor 

written or implied consent to 

householding.2 The rule requires 

issuers, underwriters, or dealers that 

wish to household prospectuses with 

implied consent to send a notice to each 

investor stating that the investors in the 

household will receive one prospectus 

in the future unless the investors 

provide contrary instructions. In 

addition, at least once a year, issuers, 

underwriters, or dealers relying on rule
