NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 72–26–ISFSI; ASLBP No. 08–

860–01–ISFSI–BD01] 

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (Diablo 

Canyon Power Plant Independent 

Spent Fuel Storage Installation); 

Designation of Presiding Officer 

Pursuant to delegation by the 

Commission, see 37 FR 28,710 (Dec. 29, 

1972), and the Commission’s 

regulations, see 10 CFR 2.313(a)(2), 

2.318, 2.1300, and 2.1319(a), notice is 

hereby given that a member of the 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel is being designated as Presiding 

Officer in the following proceeding in 

compliance with the Commission’s 

directions in its Memorandum and 

Order dated January 15, 2008 (CLI–08–

01): Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (Diablo 

Canyon Power Plant Independent Spent 

Fuel Storage Installation). 

This proceeding, which will be 

conducted pursuant to Subpart K of the 

Commission’s pre-2004 Part 2 

procedural rules Regulations (CLI–08–

01, slip op. at 4), concerns a license 

application for an independent spent 

fuel storage installation (‘‘ISFSI’’) at the 

site of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power 

reactor in California. Pursuant to the 

Ninth Circuit’s order in San Luis Obispo 

Mothers for Peace v. NRC, 449 F.3d 

1016 (9th Cir. 2006), cert. denied, 127 S. 

Ct. 1124 (2007), the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (‘‘NRC’’) has undertaken a 

NEPA-terrorism review for this 

licensing proceeding. The NRC Staff 

prepared a revised environmental 

assessment (‘‘EA’’) addressing the 

likelihood of a terrorist attack at the 

Diablo Canyon ISFSI site and the 

potential consequence of such an attack 

(CLI–08–01, slip op. at 1). The 

Commission admitted limited portions 

of two contentions—Contentions 1(b) 

and 2—proffered by the San Luis 

Obispo Mothers for Peace challenging 

the Staff’s EA (id., slip op. at 3, 29). The 

Commission set a tentative schedule for 

further consideration of Contention 1(b), 

for discovery, and for an ultimate 

Subpart K oral argument-type hearing 

on Contention 2 (id., slip op. at 30–31). 

Stating that it remains ‘‘committed to a 

prompt resolution of this proceeding,’’

the Commission directed the 

designation of a Presiding Officer to 

‘‘keep discovery on schedule, if 

necessary by setting schedules, and by 

resolving promptly any discovery 

disputes, including privilege, 

materiality, and burdensomeness 

controversies’’ (id., slip op. at 30, 31). 

The Presiding Officer is: 

Administrative Judge E. Roy Hawkens, 

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 

Panel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555–

0001. 

All correspondence, documents, and 

other materials that relate to keeping 

discovery on schedule shall be filed 

with the Presiding Officer in accordance 

with 10 CFR 2.302 (2007). 

Issued at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th 

day of January 2008. 

E. Roy Hawkens, 

Chief Administrative Judge, Atomic Safety 

and Licensing Board Panel.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

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 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 204–2; SEC File No. 270–215; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0278. 

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 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. 

The title for the collection of 

information is ‘‘Rule 204–2’’ (17 CFR 

275.204–2) under the Investment 

Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b–1). 

Rule 204–2 requires SEC-registered 

investment advisers to maintain copies 

of certain books and records relating to 

their advisory business. The collection 

of information under rule 204–2 is 

necessary for the Commission staff to 

use in its examination and oversight 

program. This collection of information 

is mandatory. The respondents to the 

collection of information are investment 

advisers registered with the 

Commission. As of August 31, 2007, 

there were 10,787 SEC registered 

advisers. Responses provided to the 

Commission in the context of its 

examination and oversight program are 

generally kept confidential. The records 

that an adviser must keep in accordance 

with rule 204–2 must generally be 

retained for not less than five years. 

The Commission has estimated that 

compliance with the requirements of the 

rule imposes a total burden of 

approximately 181.1541 hours for an 

adviser. Based on our experience, the 

Commission staff estimates a total 

annual burden of 1,954,109 hours for 

the collection of this information. 

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 

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, 

New Executive Office Building, 

Washington, DC 20503 or e-mail to: 

Alexander_T._Hunt@omb.eop.gov and 

(ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief 

Information Officer, Securities and 

Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, VA 22312, or send an 

e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov. 

Comments must be submitted to OMB 

within 30 days of this notice. 

Dated: January 14, 2008.

Deputy Secretary.

Extension: 

Rule 237, SEC File No. 270–465, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0528. 

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’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension and approval of 

the collection of information discussed 

below. 

In Canada, as in the United States, 

individuals can invest a portion of their 

earnings in tax-deferred retirement 

savings accounts (‘‘Canadian retirement 

accounts’’). In cases where these 

individuals move to the United States, 

these participants (‘‘Canadian/U.S. 

Participants’’ or ‘‘participants’’) may not 

be able to manage their Canadian 

retirement account investments. Most 

securities and most investment 

companies (‘‘funds’’) that are ‘‘qualified 

investments’’ for Canadian retirement 

accounts are not registered under the 

U.S. securities laws. Those securities, 

therefore, generally cannot be publicly 

offered and sold in the United States 

without violating the registration 

requirements of the Securities Act of 

1933 (‘‘Securities Act’’).1 As a result of 

these registration requirements of the 

U.S. securities laws, Canadian/U.S. 

Participants, in the past, had not been 

able to purchase or exchange securities 

for their Canadian retirement accounts 

as needed to meet their changing 

investment goals or income needs. 

In 2000, the Commission issued a rule 

that enabled Canadian/U.S. Participants 

to manage the assets in their Canadian 

retirement accounts by providing relief 

from the U.S. registration requirements 

for offers of securities of foreign issuers 

to Canadian/U.S. Participants and sales 

to their accounts.2 Rule 237 under the 

Securities Act 3 permits securities of 

foreign issuers, including securities of 

foreign funds, to be offered to Canadian/ 

U.S. Participants and sold to their 

Canadian retirement accounts without
