Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request for Extension of an 

Expiring Information Collection: 

Establishment Information Form, Wage 

Data Collection Form, Wage Data 

Collection Continuation Form DD 1918, 

DD 1919, and DD 1919C 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 

May 22, 1995), the Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of three 

previously-approved information 

collection forms for which approval will 

soon expire. The Establishment 

Information Form, the Wage Data 

Collection Form, and the Wage Data 

Collection Continuation Form are wage 

survey forms developed by OPM for use 

by the Department of Defense to 

establish prevailing wage rates for 

Federal Wage System employees. 

The Department of Defense contacts 

approximately 21,200 businesses 

annually to determine the level of wages 

paid by private enterprise 

establishments for representative jobs 

common to both private industry and 

the Federal Government. Each survey 

collection requires 1–4 hours of 

respondent burden, resulting in a total 

yearly burden of approximately 75,800 

hours. 

For copies of this proposal, contact 

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

8358, fax (202) 418–3251, or e-mail 

mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please include a

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[File No. 1–09397] 

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application 

of Baker Hughes Incorporated To 

Withdraw Its Common Stock, $1.00 Par 

Value, From Listing and Registration 

on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. 

September 27, 2005. 

On September 6, 2005, Baker Hughes 

Incorporated, a Delaware corporation 

(‘‘Issuer’’), filed an application with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section 

12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 

1934 (‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 12d2–2(d) 

thereunder,2 to withdraw its common 

stock, $1.00 par value (‘‘Security’’), from 

listing and registration on the Pacific 

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘PCX’’). 

The Board of Directors (‘‘Board’’) of 

the Issuer approved resolutions on July 

28, 2005 to withdraw the Security from 

listing on PCX. The Issuer stated that 

the following reasons factored into the 

Board’s decision to withdraw the 

Security from PCX: (i) The Issuer’s 

predecessor, Baker International 

Corporation, was originally 

incorporated in the State of California, 

had its principal place of business 

located in the State of California and its 

common stock listed on PCX; (ii) in 

connection with the combination of 

Baker International Corporation and 

Hughes Tool Company in 1987, the 

Issuer listed the Security on the New 

York Stock Exchange (‘‘NYSE’’); (iii) the 

Issuer’s principal place of business is 

located in the State of Texas; (iv) listing 

the Security on PCX is no longer in the 

best interest of the Issuer; and (v) the 

Security will continued to be listed on
