NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2008–0070] 

Status of the Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation’s Implementation of 

Electronic Operating Reactor 

Correspondence 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing this 

Federal Register Notice to inform the 

public that publicly available 

correspondence originating from the 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, 

Division of Operating Reactor Licensing 

(DORL) will be transmitted to 

addressees and subscribers by a 

computer-based e-mail distribution 

system. This change does not affect the 

availability of official agency records in 

the NRC’s Agencywide Documents 

Access and Management System 

(ADAMS), which may be accessed 

through NRC’s Web page http:// 

www.nrc.gov. 

In order to evaluate the feasibility of 

electronic distribution, the DORL staff 

engaged in a pilot program with Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC (West). The 

pilot program began July 1, 2007, and 

ended September 30, 2007. A Federal 

Register Notice announcing the pilot 

program was issued on June 28, 2007, 

(72 FR 35520) and another Federal 

Register Notice was issued on February 

7, 2008, (73 FR 7328) describing the 

results of the pilot program. 

During the pilot program, the method 

used for distribution was e-mail. The 

e-mail contained an electronic link to 

ADAMS providing direct access to the 

correspondence. In addition, addressees 

received an Adobe Acrobat TM portable 

document format (PDF) version of the 

correspondence. One issue identified 

during the pilot program involved the 

use of e-mails with a direct link into 

ADAMS. This approach has inherent 

limitations. It may take up to 5 business 

days for a document to become publicly 

available in ADAMS. Unless action is 

taken to make the document publicly 

available sooner or action taken to delay 

sending the e-mail until the document 

becomes publicly available, the direct 

link resulted in the document not being 

available when the e-mail was received. 

Additional steps were taken to obtain 

stakeholder feedback. In the initial 

Federal Register Notice (72 FR 35520) 

announcing the pilot program and in a 

letter dated October 11, 2007, (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML072820307) the NRC 

staff requested comments on this 

initiative. The NRC staff also sent an email on October 24, 2007, (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML080160089) to those 

who participated in the pilot program to 

get their feedback. Comments received 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML080170254) 

were overwhelmingly supportive of 

electronic distribution, generally 

because of the reduced need for copies 

and reduced handling costs. A few 

respondents were concerned with email box overloads and internet service 

provider file size limits. These concerns 

have been addressed through the use of 

administrative controls to control the 

size of distributed files. 

The DORL staff incorporated this 

feedback in developing the Operating 

Reactor Correspondence Administration 

program implementing distribution of 

DORL generated correspondence 

through a computer-based e-mail 

distribution system. The DORL staff 

now provides the addressee and 

subscribers with an Adobe Acrobat TM

PDF file of the correspondence. The 

addressee and subscribers lists receive 

distributed correspondence documents 

at the same time. Distribution of 

correspondence containing safeguards, 

proprietary or security-related 

information, or other information that is 

withheld from public disclosure will 

not be affected by this initiative. 

This initiative was implemented on 

September 30, 2008. Individuals may 

subscribe to receive DORL-generated 

operating reactor correspondence by 

entering the following URL into their 

Web browser address bar:

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549. 

Extension: 

Rule 17Ac2–2, SEC File No. 270–298, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0337, Form TA–2, SEC 

File No. 270–298, OMB Control No. 

3235–0337. 

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 a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

• Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 

(OMB Control No. 3235–0337; SEC File 

No. 270–298). 

Rule 17Ac2–2 (17 CFR 240.17Ac2–2) 

and Form TA–2 under the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et 

seq.) require transfer agents to file an 

annual report of their business activities 

with the Commission. The amount of 

time needed to comply with the 

requirements of Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form 

TA–2 varies. From the total 598 

registered transfer agents, approximately 

30 registrants would be required to 

complete only Questions 1 through 4 

and the signature section of amended 

Form TA–2, which the Commission 

estimates would take each registrant 

about 30 minutes, for a total burden of 

15 hours (30 × .5 hours). Approximately 

111 registrants would be required to 

answer Questions 1 through 5, 10, and 

11 and the signature section, which the 

Commission estimates would take about 

1 hour and 30 minutes, for a total of 

166.5 hours (111 × 1.5 hours). The 

remaining registrants, approximately 

457, would be required to complete the 

entire Form TA–2, which the 

Commission estimates would take about 

6 hours, for a total of 2,742 hours (457 

× 6 hours). We estimate that the total 

burden would be 2,923.5 hours (15 

hours + 166.5 hours + 2,742 hours). 

We estimate that the total cost of 

reviewing and entering the information 

reported on the Forms TA–2 for 

respondents is $41.50 per hour. The 

Commission estimates that the total cost 

would be $121,325.25 annually ($41.50 

× 2,923.5). 

Rule 17Ac2–2 does not involve the 

collection of confidential information. 

Please note that 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. 

General comments regarding the 

estimated burden hours should be 

directed to the following persons: (i) 

Desk Officer for the Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Room 10102, New Executive Office

Extension: 

Form F–10, OMB Control No. 3235–0380, 

SEC File No. 270–334. 

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 a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Form F–10 (17 CFR 239.40) is a 

registration statement under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et 

seq.) that is used by certain Canadian 

‘‘substantial issuers’’ (those issuers with 

at least 36 calendar months of reporting 

history with a securities commission in 

Canada and a market value of common 

stock of at least C$360 million and an 

aggregate market value of common stock 

held by non-affiliates of at least C$75 

million). The purpose of the information 

collection is to facilitate cross-border 

offerings by specified Canadian issuers. 

Form F–10 is a public document and the 

information provided is mandatory. We 

estimate that Form F–10 takes 25 hours 

per response and is filed by 75 

respondents. We further estimate that 

25% of the 25 hours per response (6.25 

hours) is prepared by the issuer for an 

annual reporting burden of 469 hours 

(6.25 hours per response × 75 

responses). 

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 regarding the 

above information should be directed to 

the following persons: (i) Desk Officer 

for the Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Room 10102,
