Draft Regulatory Guides and Standard

Review Plan Sections; Issuance,

Availability

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission

has issued four guides in its Regulatory

Guide Series along with three sections

of NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard Review

Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis

Reports for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ The

Regulatory Guide Series has been

developed to describe and make

available to the public such information

as methods acceptable to the NRC staff

for implementing specific parts of the

Commission’s regulations, techniques

used by the staff in evaluating specific

problems or postulated accidents, and

data needed by the staff in its review of

applications for permits and licenses.

These regulatory guides and standard

review plan sections are in support of

amendments to 10 CFR Parts 21, 50, 52,

54, and 100 (61 FR 65157) that update

the criteria used in decisions regarding

power reactor siting, including geologic,

seismic, and earthquake engineering

considerations for future nuclear power

plants.

Regulatory Guide 1.165,

‘‘Identification and Characterization of

Seismic Sources and Determination of

Safe Shutdown Earthquake Ground

Motion,’’ provides general guidance on

procedures acceptable to the NRC staff

on conducting geological, geophysical,

seismological, and geotechnical

investigations; identifying and

characterizing seismic sources;

conducting probabilistic seismic hazard

analyses; and determining the safe

shutdown earthquake ground motion for

a nuclear power plant.

Revision 2 to Regulatory Guide 1.12,

‘‘Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation

for Earthquakes,’’ describes seismic

instrumentation type, location,

operability, and characteristics that are

acceptable to the NRC staff for satisfying

the requirements of the Commission’s

regulations.

Regulatory Guide 1.166, ‘‘PreEarthquake Planning and Immediate

Nuclear Power Plant Operator

Postearthquake Actions,’’ provides

guidance acceptable to the NRC staff for

a timely evaluation after an earthquake

of the recorded seismic instrumentation

data and for determining whether plant

shutdown is required.

Regulatory Guide 1.167, ‘‘Restart of a

Nuclear Power Plant Shut Down by a

Seismic Event,’’ provides guidance

acceptable to the NRC staff for

performing inspections and tests of

nuclear power plant equipment and

structures prior to restart of a plant that

has been shut down by a seismic event.

Revision 3 of Standard Review Plan

Section 2.5.1, ‘‘Basic Geologic and

Seismic Information,’’ describes the

kinds of basic geological, seismological,

and geophysical information and review

procedures necessary to evaluate a

nuclear power station site.

Revision 3 of Standard Review Plan

Section 2.5.2, ‘‘Vibratory Ground

Motion,’’ describes procedures to assess

the ground motion potential of seismic

sources at the site and to assess the

safety shutdown earthquake.

Revision 3 of Standard Review Plan

Section 2.5.3, ‘‘Surface Faulting,’’

describes the geosciences information

and review procedures needed to asses

the significance of faults to the

suitability of the site.

A document entitled ‘‘Resolution of

Public Comments on Draft Regulatory

Guides and Standard Review Plan

Sections Pertaining to the Proposed

Seismic and Earthquake Engineering

Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants’’

explains the NRC’s disposition of the

comments received on the draft

regulatory guides and standard review

plan sections. A copy of this document

has been placed in the NRC Public

Document Room, 2120 L Street NW.

(Lower Level), Washington, DC. Single

copies are available from Dr. Andrew J.

Murphy, Office of Nuclear Regulatory

Research, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

The Office of Management and Budget

has verified the determination that these

regulatory guides and Standard Review

Plan sections do not constitute a major

rule.

Regulatory guides and the Standard

Review Plan are available for inspection

at the Commission’s Public Document

Room, 2120 L Street NW., Washington,

DC. Requests for single copies of draft

documents (which may be reproduced)

or for placement on an automatic

distribution list for single copies of

future draft guides in specific divisions

should be made in writing to the U.S.

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’’) has submitted to the

Office of Management and Budget

requests for approval of extension on

previously approved collections of

information:

Rule 15g–3 requires that brokers and

dealers disclose to customers current

quotation prices or similar market

information in connection with

transactions in certain low-priced, overthe-counter securities. It is estimated

that approximately 270 respondents

incur an average burden of 100 hours

annually to comply with the rule.

Rule 15g–4 requires brokers and

dealers effecting transactions in penny

stocks for or with customers to disclose

the amount of compensation received by

the broker-dealer in connection with the

transaction. It is estimated that

approximately 270 respondents incur an

average of 100 hours annually to comply

with the rule.

Rule 15g–5 requires brokers and

dealers to disclose to customers the

amount of compensation to be received

by their sales agents in connection with

penny stock transactions. It is estimated

that approximately 270 respondents

incur an average burden of 100 hours

annually to comply with the rule.

Rule 15g–6 requires brokers and

dealers that sell penny stocks to their

customers to provide monthly account

statements containing information with

regard to the penny stocks held in

customer accounts. It is estimated that

approximately 270 respondents incur an

average burden of 90 hours annually to

comply with the rule.

Rule 15g–7(a) would require brokers

and dealers that effect transactions in

penny stocks and are the only market

makers with respect to such securities to

disclose this fact in connection with

such transactions. It is estimated that

approximately 270 respondents would

incur an average burden of 50 hours

annually to comply with the rule.

Rule 17Ac2–1 and Form TA–1 is used

by transfer agents to register with the

Commission, the Comptroller of the

Currency, the Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System, or the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation, and to

amend their registration.

It is estimated that approximately 359

respondents will incur an average

burden of 538.5 hours annually to

comply with the rule and form.

General comments regarding the

estimated burden hours should be

directed to the Desk Officer for the

Securities and Exchange Commission at

the address below. Any comments

concerning the accuracy of the

estimated average burden hours for

compliance with Commission rules and

forms should be directed to Michael E.

Bartell, Associate Executive Director,

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

to Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (ICG Communications,

Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par Value)

File No. 1–11965

March 26, 1997.

ICG Communications, Inc.

(‘‘Company’’) has filed an application

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

withdraw the above specified security

(‘‘Security’’) from listing and

registration on the American Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, the Board

of Directors (the ‘‘Board’’) unanimously

approved a resolution on February 11,

1997, to withdraw the Security from

listing on the Amex and, instead, to list

such Security on the Nasdaq National

Market (‘‘Nasdaq’’). The decision of the

Board was based upon the belief that

listing the Security on Nasdaq will be

more beneficial to its stockholders than

the present listing on Amex because the

Company has increasingly become

aware of a reluctance by a seemingly

growing number of trading firms to

trade or market securities listed on

Amex. The Company believes this

reluctance has been a factor contributing

to the very thin trading volume in the

Company’s stock. Furthermore, the

Company also believes such reluctance

to trade has, in turn, contributed to an

unwillingness to do research on the

Company. As a combined result,

investors and prospective investors have

not been as well served as the Company

believes they are more likely to be on

Nasdaq.

Any interested person may, on or

before April 16, 1997, submit by letter

to the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchanges and what terms,

if any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application

after the date mentioned above, unless

the Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
