NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50–213]

Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power

Company, et al. (Haddam Neck Plant);

Notice of Closure of the Public

Comment Period for the Haddam Neck

Plant License Termination Plan

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(NRC) is in receipt of and has made

available for public inspection and

comment the License Termination Plan

(LTP) for the Haddam Neck Plant (HNP)

located in Haddam, Connecticut. NRC’s

receipt of the HNP LTP and the LTP’s

availability for public inspection and

comment was noticed in the Federal

Register on August 23, 2000 (65 FR

51345). A public meeting was

conducted by NRC staff (65 FR 59215,

dated October 4, 2000), to discuss the

HNP LTP on October 17, 2000, at the

Haddam-Killingworth High School,

Higganum, Connecticut. The purpose of

this notice is to announce that the

public comment period for the HNP LTP

will close on December 29, 2000.

Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power

Company (CYAPCO, or the licensee)

announced permanent cessation of

power operations of HNP on December

5, 1996. In accordance with NRC

regulations, CYAPCO submitted a PostShutdown Decommissioning Activities

Report (PSDAR) for HNP to the NRC on

August 22, 1997. The facility is

undergoing active decontamination and

dismantlement.

In accordance with 10 CFR

50.82(a)(9), all power reactor licensees

must submit an application for

termination of their license. The

application for license termination must

be accompanied or preceded by an LTP

to be submitted for NRC approval. If

found acceptable by the NRC staff, the

LTP is approved by license amendment,

subject to such conditions and

limitations as the NRC staff deems

appropriate and necessary. CYAPCO

submitted the proposed LTP for HNP by

application dated July 7, 2000. In

accordance with 10 CFR 20.1405 and 10

CFR 50.82(a)(9)(iii), the NRC provided

notice to individuals in the vicinity of

the site that the NRC was in receipt of

the HNP LTP and would accept

comments from affected parties (65 FR

51345, dated August 23, 2000).

The NRC staff has begun the technical

review of the HNP LTP. While NRC will

accept public comments at any time,

comments are most helpful and the staff

is best able to consider them during the

LTP review, if they are received early in

the review process. Therefore, NRC has

decided to close the formal public

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 238 / Monday, December 11, 2000 / Notices 77395

comment period on December 29, 2000.

The HNP LTP (ADAMS Accession

Number ML003735143) may be

examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the

NRC’s Public Document Room, located

at One White Flint North, 11555

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,

Maryland, and is accessible

electronically from the ADAMS Public

Library component on the NRC Web

site, http://www.nrc.gov (the Public

Electronic Reading Room). The LTP may

also be viewed at the CYAPCO Web site

at http://www.connyankee.com.

Proposed Collection; Comment

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

Extension:

Appendix F to Rule 15c3–1, SEC File No.

270–440, OMB Control No. 3235–0496

Rule 17 Ad–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 these existing

collections of information to the Office

of Management and Budget for

extension and approval.

Appendix F to Rule 15c3–1 requires

a broker-dealer choosing to register as

an OTC derivative dealer to develop and

maintain an internal risk management

system based on Value-at-Risk (‘‘VAR’’)

models Appendix F also requires the

OTC derivatives to notify Commission

staff of the system and of certain other

periodic information including when

the VA model deviates from the actual

performance of the OTC derivatives

dealers’ portfolio. It is anticipated that

approximately six (6) broker-dealers

will spend 1,000 hours per year

complying with Appendix F. The total

burden is estimated to be approximately

6,000 hours. Each broker-dealer will

spend approximately $76,500 per

response for a total annual expense for

all broker-dealers of $459,000.

Rule 176AD–16 requires a registered

transfer agent to provide written notice

to a qualified registered securities

depository when assuming or

terminating transfer agent services on

behalf of an issuer or when changing its

name or address. These recordkeeping

requirements address the problem of

certificate transfer delays caused by

transfer requests that are directed to the

wrong transfer agent or the wrong

address.

Given that there are approximately

450 respondents who submit Rule

17Ad–16 notices, the staff estimates that

the average number of hours necessary

for each transfer agent to comply with

Rule 17Ad–16 is approximately 15

minutes per notice or 3.5 hours per year,

totaling 1.575 hours industry-wide. The

average cost per hour is approximately

$30 per hours, with the industry-wide

cost estimated at approximately

$47,250. However, the information

required by Rule 17Ad–16 generally

already is maintained by registered

transfer agents. The amount of time

devoted to compliance with Rule 17AD–

16 varies according to differences in

business activity.

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;

(6) 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

Director, Office of Information

Technology, Securities and Exchange
