II. Discussion 

In accordance with paragraph 

110.70(b) of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC 

is noticing the receipt of an export 

license amendment application 

submitted by PFNW on December 20, 

2021, for the export of German-origin 

radioactive waste from PFNW 

processing facilities to Germany. The 

application seeks authorization to 

export no greater than 60,000 kilograms 

and 0.05 terabecquerels of low-level 

radioactive waste in the form of residual 

ash and residual metal or noncombustible material. The amendment 

application requests an expiration date 

of September 1, 2026. 

The NRC is noticing the receipt of the 

application; providing the opportunity 

to submit written comments concerning 

the application; and providing the 

opportunity to request a hearing or 

petition for leave to intervene, for a 

period of 30 days after publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. Any 

request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene shall be served by the 

requestor or petitioner in accordance 

with 10 CFR 110.89. A hearing request 

or petition for leave to intervene must 

include the information specified in 10 

CFR 110.82(b). 

A request for a hearing or petition for 

leave to intervene may be filed with the 

NRC electronically in accordance with 

NRC’s E-Filing rule promulgated in 

August 2007 (72 FR 49139; August 28, 

2007, as amended at 77 FR 46562, 

August 3, 2012). Information about 

filing electronically is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. To ensure timely 

electronic filing, at least 10 days prior 

to the filing deadline, the petitioner/ 

requestor should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by calling 

301–415–1677, to (1) request a digital 

identification (ID) certificate, which 

allows the participant (or its counsel or 

representative) to digitally sign 

submissions and access the E-Filing 

system for any proceeding in which it 

is participating; and (2) advise the 

Secretary that the participant will be 

submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the hearing in this proceeding 

if the Secretary has not already 

established an electronic docket.

application for an export license 

amendment follows.

Extension: 

Form 13F 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Section 13(f) 1 of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 2 (the ‘‘Exchange 

Act’’) empowers the Commission to: (1) 

Adopt rules that create a reporting and 

disclosure system to collect specific 

information; and (2) disseminate such 

information to the public. Rule 13f–1 3

under the Exchange Act requires 

institutional investment managers that 

exercise investment discretion over 

accounts that have in the aggregate a fair 

market value of at least $100,000,000 of 

certain U.S. exchange-traded equity 

securities, as set forth in rule 13f–1(c), 

to file quarterly reports with the 

Commission on Form 13F.4

The information collection 

requirements apply to institutional 

investment managers that meet the $100 

million reporting threshold. Section 

13(f)(6)(A) of the Exchange Act defines 

an ‘‘institutional investment manager’’ 

as any person, other than a natural 

person, investing in or buying and 

selling securities for its own account, 

and any person exercising investment 

discretion with respect to the account of 

any other person. Rule 13f–1(b) under 

the Exchange Act defines ‘‘investment 

discretion’’ for purposes of Form 13F 

reporting. 

The reporting system required by 

Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act is 

intended, among other things, to create 

in the Commission a central repository

The currently approved burden 

estimates include a total hour burden of 

472,521.6 hours, with an internal cost 

burden of $31,186,425.60, to comply 

with Form 13F.5 Consistent with a 

recent rulemaking proposal that made 

adjustments to these estimates due 

primarily to the Commission’s belief 

that the currently approved estimates do 

not appropriately reflect the information

Notes: 

1The external costs of complying with Form 13F can vary among filers. Some filers use third-party vendors for a range of services in connection with filing reports on Form 13F, while other filers use vendors for more limited purposes such as providing more user-friendly versions of the 

list of section 13(f) Securities. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that each filer will spend an average of $300 on vendor services each year 

in connection with the filer’s four quarterly reports on Form 13F–HR or Form 13F–NT, as applicable, in addition to the estimated vendor costs associated with any amendments. In addition, some filers engage outside legal services in connection with the preparation of requests for confidential treatment or analyses regarding possible requests, or in connection with the form’s disclosure requirements. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that each manager filing reports on Form 13F–HR will incur $489 for one hour of outside legal services each year. 2 $66 was the estimated wage rate for a compliance clerk in 2018. 

3The estimate reduces the total burden hours associated with complying with the reporting requirements of Form 13F–HR from 80.8 to 11 

hours. We believe that this reduction adequately reflects the reduction in the time managers spend complying with Form 13F–HR as a result of 

advances in technology that have occurred since Form 13F was adopted. The revised estimate also assumes that an in-house compliance attorney would spend 1 hour annually on the preparation of the filing, as well as determining whether a 13(f) Confidential Treatment Request should 

be filed. The remaining 10 hours would be divided equally between a senior programmer and compliance clerk. 4The $202.50 wage rate reflects current estimates of the blended hourly rate for an in-house senior programmer ($334) and in-house compliance clerk ($71). $202.50 is based on the following calculation: ($334 + $71) / 2 = $202.50. The $334 per hour figure for a senior programmer is 

based on salary information for the securities industry compiled by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s Office Salaries in 

the Securities Industry 2013 (‘‘SIFMA Report’’), modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and inflation, and multiplied 

by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead. The $71 per hour figure for a compliance clerk is based on salary information from the SIFMA Report, modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and inflation, and multiplied by 2.93 to 

account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead. 5The $368 per hour figure for a compliance attorney is based on salary information for the securities industry compiled by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s Office Salaries in the Securities Industry 2013 (‘‘SIFMA Report’’), modified by Commission staff to account for an 1800-hour work-year and inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead. 6 $789 includes an estimated $300 paid to a third-party vendor in connection with the Form 13F–HR filing as well as an estimated $489 for one 

hour of outside legal services. We estimate that Form 13F–HR filers will require some level of external legal counsel in connection with these filings. 7This estimate is based on the number of 13F–HR filers as of December 2019. 

8This estimate is based on the number of Form 13F–NT filers as of December 2019. 

9The revised estimate assumes that an in-house compliance attorney would spend 0.5 hours annually on the preparation of the filing amendment, as well as determining whether a 13(f) Confidential Treatment Request should be filed. The remaining 3.5 hours would be divided equally 

between a senior programmer and compliance clerk. 10This estimate is based on the number of Form 13F amendments filed as of December 2019. 

The estimate of average burden hours 

is made solely for the purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. The estimate 

is not derived from a comprehensive or 

even a representative survey or study of 

the costs of Commission rules. An 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control
