Decision

The above State Standards have been

reviewed and compared with relevant

Federal Standards, and OSHA has

determined that the State Standards are

at least as effective as the comparable

Federal Standards, as required by

Section 18(c)(2) of the Act. OSHA has

also determined that the differences

between the State and Federal

Standards are substantially identical.

OSHA therefore approves these

Standards. However, the right to

reconsider this approval is reserved

should substantial objections be

submitted to the Assistant Secretary.

Location of Supplement for Inspection

and Copying

A copy of the Standards Supplements,

along with the approved Plan, may be

inspected and copied during normal

business hours at the following

locations: Office of the Regional

Administrator, 1999 Broadway Suite

1690, Denver, Colorado 80202–5716; the

Department of Employment, Division of

Employment Affairs-OSHA, Herschler

Building, 2nd Floor East, 122 West 25th

Street, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002; and

the Office of State Programs, Room N–

3700, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20210.

Public Participation

Under 29 CFR 1953.2(c), the Assistant

Secretary may prescribe alternative

procedures, or show any other good

cause consistent with applicable laws,

to expedite the review process. The

Assistant Secretary finds that good

cause exists for not publishing the

supplements to the Wyoming State Plan

as a proposed change and makes the

Regional Administrator’s approval

effective upon publication for the

following reason(s): The standards were

adopted in accordance with the

procedural requirements of State Law

which include public comment, and

further public participation would be

repetitious. This decision is effective

January 19, 1995 (Sec. 18, Public Law

91–596, 84 Stat. 1608 [29 U.S.C. 6671].)

Signed at Denver, Colorado this 9th day of

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Public Meeting With Interested

Vendors on a Proposal for Ordering

Reproductions of Still Photographs,

Aerial Film, Maps, and Drawings

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of meeting and action.

SUMMARY: NARA announces its intent to

change procedures for providing

reproductions of archival still

photographs, aerial film, maps, and

drawings from the Still Picture Branch,

Cartographic and Architectural Branch,

and other units of the National

Archives. An initial meeting with

interested vendors was held on

December 21, 1994. The proposal will

privatize the reproduction of these

archival materials by allowing

customers to place their orders directly

with vendors. In addition, NARA will

assign work space to the vendors in its

new building in College Park, MD, in

order that the materials can be copied

on its premises. The proposed

procedures, scheduled to begin on

March 6, 1995, and continue for a oneyear trial period, are intended to

expedite the reproduction ordering

process and to ascertain the extent to

which digital scanning can satisfy

customer requirements. All vendors

interested in this test are invited to

attend the next scheduled meeting.

DATES: The meeting will be held on

Wednesday, January 25, 1995, at 10 a.m.

The trial period is proposed to begin

on March 6, 1995, and end on March 6,

1996.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in

Archives II, lecture rooms C and D,

located at 8601 Adelphi Road, College

Park, MD.

[Docket No. 50–160–Ren; ASLBP No. 95–

Georgia Institute of Technology,

Atlanta, Georgia; Georgia Tech

Research Reactor (Renewal of Facility

License No. R–97); Notice of

Prehearing Conference

January 12, 1995.

This proceeding concerns the

proposed renewal of the facility

operating license for the Georgia Tech

Research Reactor, located on the

campus of the Georgia Institute of

Technology in Atlanta, GA. Notice is

hereby given that, as set forth in the

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board’s

Memorandum and Order (Telephone

Conference Call, 1/10/95), dated January

11, 1995, a prehearing conference will

be conducted commencing at 10:00 a.m.

on Tuesday, January 31, 1995 and

continuing, to the extent necessary, on

February 1 and 2, 1995, commencing at

9:00 a.m. each day, at the Federal Trade

Commission Hearing Room, Room 1010,

1718 Peachtree St. NW., Atlanta, GA.

At the conference, the Licensing

Board will consider the Petition for

Leave to Intervene, dated October 26,

1994, and the Amended Petition for

Leave to Intervene, dated December 30,

1994, filed by the Georgians Against

Nuclear Energy (GANE), including

GANE’s standing and each of its

proffered contentions. The Board will

also consider potential scheduling for

various aspects of the proceeding,

should the Board determine that a

hearing is to be authorized. Members of

the public are invited to attend this

conference, but they may not participate

except as set forth below (with respect

to oral limited appearance statements).

Persons who are not parties to the

proceeding are invited to submit limited

appearance statements, either in writing

or orally, with regard to the renewal

application, as permitted by 10 CFR

2.715(a). These statements do not

constitute testimony or evidence in
3886 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 1995 / Notices

1The signatories to the Plan, i.e., the National

Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (‘‘NASD’’),

and the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Chx’’)

(previously, the Midwest Stock Exchange Inc.),

Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Phlx’’), and the

Boston Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’), are the

‘‘Participants.’’ The BSE, however, joined the Plan

as a ‘‘Limited Participant,’’ and reports quotation

information and transaction reports only in Nasdaq/

National Market (previously referred to as ‘‘Nasdaq/

NMS’’) securities listed on the BSE. Originally, the

American Stock Exchange, Inc., was a Participant

to the Plan, but did not trade securities pursuant to

the Plan, and withdrew from participation in the

Plan in August 1994.

2The Commission notes that Section 12(f) of the

Act describes the circumstances under which an

exchange may trade by security that is not listed on

the exchange, i.e., by extending unlisted trading

privileges (‘‘UTP’’) to the security. Section 12(f) was

amended on October 22, 1994, 15 U.S.C. 12(f)

(1991) (as amended 1994). Prior to the amendment,

Section 12(f) required exchanges to apply to the

Commission before extending UTP to any security.

In order to approve an exchange UTP application

for a registered security not listed on any exchange

(‘‘OTC/UTP’’), Section 12(f) required the

Commission to determine that various criteria had

been met concerning fair and orderly markets, the

protection of investors, and certain national market

initiatives. These requirements worked in

conjunction with the Plan currently under review.

The recent amendment to Section 12(f), among

other matters, removes the application requirement

and permits OTC/UTP only pursuant to a

Commission order or rule. The order or rule is to

be issued or promulgated under essentially the

same standards that previously applied to

Commission review of UTP applications. The

present orders serves to meet this Section 12(f)

requirement.

3See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 28146

(June 26, 1990), 55 FR 27917 (‘‘1990 Approval

Order’’). For a detailed discussion of history of UTP

in OTC securities, and the events that led to the

present plan and pilot program, see 1994 Extension

Order, infra note 4.

(July 13, 1994), 59 FR 37103 (‘‘1994 Extension

Order’’).

5 In the present filing with the Commission, the

NASD states that the parties have made substantial

progress in their negotiations but have not

concluded them and that, in order to conclude the

negotiations and provide sufficient time for

approval by their governing boards and the

Commission, the parties believe that an additional

seven months will be required. See letter from T.

Grant Callery, Vice President and General Counsel,

NASD, to Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary, Commission,

dated January 9, 1995.

6The Commission notes that the present filing

does not make clear that the two exemptions were

previously scheduled to expire on July 12, 1995.

Nevertheless, the filing requests an ‘‘identical

extension’’ of the relevant exemptions along with

their request that the effectiveness of the Plan be

extended through August 12, 1995. Accordingly,

this order extends the effectiveness of the relevant

exemptions from July 12, 1995, through August 12,

1995. See id.

these proceedings but may help the

Board and/or parties in their

deliberations as to the proper

boundaries of the issues to be

considered. During this prehearing

conference, such persons may make oral

limited appearance statements, on

Wednesday morning, February 1, 1995,

from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. If more

persons than can be accommodated

during this period wish to make

statements, and to the extent that time

may be available after the conclusion of

the substantive portions of the

conference, the Board may elect to hear

additional statements. Written

statements, or requests to make oral

limited appearance statements, should

be submitted to the Secretary, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington D.C. 20555, Attn: Docketing

and Service Branch. A copy of such

statement or request should be served

on the Chairman of this Atomic Safety

and Licensing Board, T3 F23, U.S.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

[Release No. 34–35221; File No. S7–24–89]

Joint Industry Plan; Order Approving

Amendment No. 2 to Reporting Plan

for Nasdaq/National Market Securities

Traded on an Exchange on an Unlisted

or Listed Basis, Submitted by the

National Association of Securities

Dealers, Inc., and the Boston, Chicago

and Philadelphia Stock Exchanges

January 11, 1995.

On January 9, 1995, the National

Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,

and the Boston, Chicago, and

Philadelphia Stock Exchanges

(collectively, ‘‘Participants’’) 1 submitted

to the Commission Amendment No. 2 to

a joint transaction reporting plan

(‘‘Plan’’) for Nasdaq/National Market

securities traded on an exchange on an

unlisted or listed basis.2 The

Commission is approving the proposed

amendment to the Plan and trading

pursuant to the Plan on a temporary

basis to expire on August 12, 1995. The

Commission also is soliciting comment,

among other matters, on whether

exchanges should be permitted to

extend UTP to more than 100 OTC

securities at any given time.

I. Extension of the Pilot Program

The Commission originally approved

the Plan on June 26, 1990.3 The Plan

governs the collection, consolidation

and dissemination of quotation and

transaction information for Nasdaq/

National Market securities listed on an

exchange or traded on an exchange

pursuant to UTP. The Commission

originally approved trading pursuant to

the Plan on a one-year pilot basis, with

the pilot period to commence when

transaction reporting pursuant to the

Plan commenced. Thereafter, the

Commission extended the effectiveness

of the Plan through January 12, 1995, as

requested by the Participants in

Amendment No. 1 to the Plan.4

Accordingly, the pilot period

commenced on July 12, 1993, and most

recently was scheduled to expire on

January 12, 1995.

As originally approved by the

Commission, the Plan required the

Participants to complete their

negotiations regarding revenue sharing

during the one-year pilot period. The

Participants, however, have not yet

come to an agreement concerning

revenue sharing for transactions effected

pursuant to the Plan. Proposed

Amendment No. 2 to the Plan extends

this negotiation period for an additional

seven months.5 The Commission

believes it is appropriate to extend the

effectiveness of the pilot program,

particularly in light of the reported

recent progress made by the Participants

concerning financial matters. At the

same time, however, the Commission

expects the Participants to conclude

those negotiations before January 31,

1995, and expects the Participants to

submit to the Commission a proposed

amendment to the Plan concerning

finances before February 15, 1995.

II. Extension of Certain Exemptive

Relief

In conjunction with the Plan, on a

temporary basis scheduled to expire on

July 12, 1995, the Commission granted

an exemption from Rule 11Ac1–2 under

the Act regarding the calculated best bid

and offer (‘‘BBO’’), and granted the BSE

an exemption from the provision of Rule

11Aa3–1 under the Act that requires

transaction reporting plans to include

market identifiers for transaction reports

and last sale data. At the request of the

Participants, this order extends these

exemptions through August 12, 1995,

provided that the Plan continues in

effect through that date pursuant to a

Commission order.6 The Commission

continues to believe that exemptive

relief from these provisions is

appropriate through August 12, 1995,

but at that time, the Commission will
