Notice of Issuance of Regulatory Guide 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of issuance and 

availability of Regulatory Guide 6.7, 

Revision 2, ‘‘Preparation of an 

Environmental Report To Support a 

Rulemaking Petition Seeking an 

Exemption for a RadionuclideContaining Product.’’ 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision 

to an existing guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public information such 

as methods that are acceptable to the 

NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the agency’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 6.7 

was issued with a temporary 

identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–6008. This guide provides general 

procedures for the preparation of 

environmental reports (ERs), that are 

submitted to support a rulemaking 

petition for an exemption for a 

radionuclide-containing product, and it 

replaces Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 

6.7, issued June 1976. Use of this 

regulatory guide will help to ensure the 

completeness of the information 

provided in the ER, assist the staff of the 

NRC and others in locating pertinent 

information, and facilitate the 

environmental review process. 

However, the NRC does not require 

conformance with the procedures in the 

regulatory guide, which are provided for 

guidance only. 

II. Further Information 

In November 2009, DG–6008 was 

published with a public comment 

period of 60 days from the issuance of 

the guide. No comments were received 

and the public comment period closed 

on January 8, 2010. Electronic copies of 

Regulatory Guide 6.7, Revision 2 are 

available through the NRC’s public Web 

site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. 

In addition, regulatory guides are 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR) located at 

Room O–1F21, One White Flint North, 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852–2738. The PDR’s 

mailing address is USNRC PDR, 

Washington, DC 20555–0001. The PDR 

can also be reached by telephone at 

(301) 415–4737 or (800) 397–4209, by 

fax at (301) 415–3548, and by e-mail to 

pdr.resource@nrc.gov. 

Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 

required to reproduce them. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10th day 

of May, 2010.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 19b–5 and Form PILOT; SEC File No. 

270–448; OMB Control No. 3235–0507. 

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’’) is soliciting comments 

on the existing collection of information 

provided for in Rule 19b–5 (17 CFR 

240.19b–5) and Form PILOT (17 CFR 

249.821) under the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934, as amended (‘‘Act’’) (15 

U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The Commission 

plans to submit this existing collection 

of information to the Office of 

Management and Budget for extension 

and approval. 

Rule 19b–5 provides a temporary 

exemption from the rule-filing 

requirements of Section 19(b) of the Act 

(15 U.S.C. 78s(b)) to self-regulatory 

organizations (‘‘SROs’’) wishing to 

establish and operate pilot trading 

systems. Rule 19b–5 permits an SRO to 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
27600 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 94 / Monday, May 17, 2010 / Notices 

develop a pilot trading system and to 

begin operation of such system shortly 

after submitting an initial report on 

Form PILOT to the Commission. During 

operation of any such pilot trading 

system, the SRO must submit quarterly 

reports of the system’s operation to the 

Commission, as well as timely 

amendments describing any material 

changes to the system. After two years 

of operating such pilot trading system 

under the exemption afforded by Rule 

19b–5, the SRO must submit a rule 

filing pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) (15 

U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)) of the Act in order to 

obtain permanent approval of the pilot 

trading system from the Commission. 

The collection of information is 

designed to allow the Commission to 

maintain an accurate record of all new 

pilot trading systems operated by SROs 

and to determine whether an SRO has 

properly availed itself of the exemption 

afforded by Rule 19b–5, is operating a 

pilot trading system in compliance with 

the Act, and is carrying out its statutory 

oversight obligations under the Act. 

The respondents to the collection of 

information are national securities 

exchanges and national securities 

associations. 

While there are 14 national securities 

exchanges and national securities 

associations that may avail themselves 

of the exemption under Rule 19b–5 and 

the use of Form PILOT, it is estimated 

that approximately three respondents 

will file a total of 3 initial reports, 12 

quarterly reports, and 6 amendments on 

Form PILOT per year, with an estimated 

total annual response burden of 126 

hours. At an average hourly cost of 

$307.74, the estimated aggregate related 

cost of compliance with Rule 19b–5 for 

all respondents is $38,775 per year (126 

burden hours multiplied by $307.74/ 

hour = $38,775). 

Written comments are invited on (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s 

estimates of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

[Rule 17a–8; SEC File No. 270–225; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0235] 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: 

Rule 17a–8; SEC File No. 270–225; OMB 

Control No. 3235–0235. 

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. 

Rule 17a–8 (17 CFR 270.17a–8) under 

the Investment Company Act of 1940 

(the ‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 80a) is entitled 

‘‘Mergers of affiliated companies.’’ Rule 

17a–8 exempts certain mergers and 

similar business combinations 

(‘‘mergers’’) of affiliated registered 

investment companies (‘‘funds’’) from 

prohibitions under section 17(a) of the 

Act (15 U.S.C. 80a–17(a)) on purchases 

and sales between a fund and its 

affiliates. The rule requires fund 

directors to consider certain issues and 

to record their findings in board 

minutes. The rule requires the directors 

of any fund merging with an 

unregistered entity to approve 

procedures for the valuation of assets 

received from that entity. These 

procedures must provide for the 

preparation of a report by an 

independent evaluator that sets forth the 

fair value of each such asset for which 

market quotations are not readily 

available. The rule also requires a fund 

being acquired to obtain approval of the 

merger transaction by a majority of its 

outstanding voting securities, except in 

certain situations, and requires any 

surviving fund to preserve written 

records describing the merger and its 

terms for six years after the merger (the 

first two in an easily accessible place). 

The average annual burden of meeting 

the requirements of rule 17a–8 is 

estimated to be 7 hours for each fund. 

The Commission staff estimates that 

each year approximately 610 funds rely 

on the rule. The estimated total average 

annual burden for all respondents 

therefore is 4270 hours. 

This estimate represents a decrease of 

2170 hours from the prior estimate of 

6440 hours. The decrease results from a 

change in the methodology used to 

estimate the number of mergers between 

affiliated funds or fund portfolios. 

The average cost burden of preparing 

a report by an independent evaluator in 

a merger with an unregistered entity is 

estimated to be $15,000. The average net 

cost burden of obtaining approval of a 

merger transaction by a majority of a 

fund’s outstanding voting securities is 

estimated to be $80,000. The 

Commission staff estimates that each 

year approximately 0 mergers with 

unregistered entities occur and 

approximately 15 funds hold 

shareholder votes that would not 

otherwise have held a shareholder vote 

to comply with State law. The total 

annual cost burden of meeting these 

requirements is estimated to be 

$1,200,000. 

The estimates of average burden hours 

and average cost burdens are made 

solely for the purposes of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, and are not derived from 

a comprehensive or even a 

representative survey or study. 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 OMB control 

number. 

Written comments are requested on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is 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 collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; and (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection 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.
