This list is not intended to be all 

inclusive, nor is it a predetermination of 

potential environmental impacts. The 

list is presented to facilitate comments 

on the scope of the EIS. Changes to this 

list may occur as a result of the public 

scoping process. 

5.0 Scoping Meetings 

One purpose of this notice is to solicit 

public comments on the proposed scope 

and content of the EIS. Scoping is an 

early and open process designed to 

determine the range of actions, 

alternatives, and potential impacts to be 

considered in the EIS, and to identify 

significant issues related to the 

proposed action. It is intended to solicit 

input from the public and other 

agencies so that the analysis can be 

more clearly focused on issues of 

genuine concern. The principal goals of 

the scoping process are to: 

—Ensure that concerns are identified 

early and are properly studied; 

—Identify alternatives to be examined; 

—Identify significant issues to be 

analyzed; 

—Eliminate unimportant issues from 

detailed consideration; and 

—Identify public concerns. 

On May 19, 2009, the NRC will hold 

two public scoping meetings in 

Wilmington, North Carolina, to solicit 

both oral and written comments from 

interested parties. Both meetings will be 

transcribed to record public comments. 

The first meeting will convene at 1 p.m. 

and will continue until approximately 4 

p.m. The second meeting will convene 

at 7 p.m. and will continue until 

approximately 10 p.m. Both meetings 

will begin with NRC staff providing a 

description of the NRC’s role and 

mission. A brief overview of the 

licensing process will be followed by a 

brief description of the environmental 

review process. Most of the meeting 

time will be allotted for attendees to 

make oral comments. 

In addition, the NRC staff will host 

informal discussions for one hour prior 

to the start of each public meeting. No 

formal comments on the proposed scope 

of the EIS will be accepted during the 

informal discussions. To be considered, 

comments must be provided either at 

one of the transcribed public meetings 

or in writing, as discussed below. 

Persons may register to attend or 

present oral comments at the scoping 

meetings by contacting Christianne 

Ridge at (301) 415–5673, or by sending 

e-mail to GLE.EIS@nrc.gov no later than 

April 30, 2009. Members of the public 

may also register to speak at the meeting 

prior to the start of the session. 

Individual oral comments may be 

limited by the time available, depending 

on the number of persons who register. 

Members of the public who have not 

registered may also have an opportunity 

to speak, if time permits. If special 

equipment or accommodations are 

needed to attend or present information 

at the public meeting, please contact 

Christianne Ridge no later than April 

23, 2009, so that the NRC staff can 

determine whether the request can be 

accommodated. 

6.0 Scoping Comments 

Members of the public may provide 

comments orally at one of the 

transcribed public scoping meetings or 

in writing. Written comments may be 

sent by e-mail to GLE.EIS@nrc.gov or 

mailed to the address listed above in the 

ADDRESSES Section. 

At the conclusion of the scoping 

process, the NRC staff will prepare a 

summary of public comments regarding 

the scope of the environmental review 

and significant issues identified. NRC 

staff will send this summary to each 

participant in the scoping process for 

whom the staff has an address. This 

summary and project-related material 

will be available for public review 

through our electronic reading room: 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html. The scoping meeting 

summaries and project-related materials 

will also be available on NRC’s GLE 

Web page: http://www.nrc.gov/ 

materials/fuel-cycle-fac/laser.html (case 

sensitive). 

7.0 The NEPA Process 

The EIS for the GLE facility will be 

prepared pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

NRC’s NEPA Regulations at 10 CFR Part 

51. After the scoping process is 

complete, NRC and its contractor will 

prepare and publish a draft EIS. A 45- 

day public comment period on the draft 

EIS is planned, and public meetings to 

receive comments will be held 

approximately three weeks after 

publication of the draft EIS. Availability 

of the draft EIS, the dates of the public 

comment period, and information about 

the public meetings will be announced 

in the Federal Register, on NRC’s GLE 

Web page, and in the local news media. 

The final EIS will include responses to 

any comments received on the draft EIS.

day of April 2009.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (the 

‘‘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. 

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

1Phoenix Life Insurance Co, et al., Investment 

Company Act Release Nos. 27315 (May 8, 2006) 

(notice) and 27388 (June 5, 2006) (order). The Prior 

Order granted relief to the applicants and also to 

Phoenix Investment Counsel, Inc. (‘‘PIC’’), Phoenix 

Pholios, and certain registered open-end 

management investment companies and their series 

advised by PIC or any entity controlling, controlled 

by or under common control with PIC. 

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—having in the aggregate a fair 

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

exchange-traded or NASDAQ-quoted 

equity securities—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)(5) 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. Form 13F 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 

of historical and current data about the 

investment activities of institutional 

investment managers, and to improve 

the body of factual data available to 

regulators and the public. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

4,052 respondents make approximately 

16,208 responses under the rule each 

year. The staff estimates that on average, 

Form 13F filers spend 98.8 hours/year 

to prepare and submit the report. In 

addition, the staff estimates that 210 

respondents file approximately 840 

amendments each year. The staff 

estimates that on average, Form 13F 

filers spend 4 hours/year to prepare and 

submit amendments to Form 13F. The 

total annual burden of the rule’s 

requirements for all respondents 

therefore is estimated to be 401,178 

hours ((4,052 filers × 98.8 hours) + (210 

filers × 4 hours)). 

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 

number. 

Written comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collections of information 

are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information has practical utility; (b) the 

accuracy of the Commission’s estimate 

of the burdens of the collections of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burdens of the collections 

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.
