the New Bonds will be determined by

negotiations between SWEPCO and one

or more investment banking firms or

other entities that will purchase or

underwrite the New Bonds

(‘‘Purchasers’’).

SWEPCO anticipates that the New

Bonds will be redeemable at its option

upon the occurrence of various events

specified in the Amended Sales

Agreements and the Indentures, which

may be amended or supplemented

(‘‘Supplemental Indentures’’), or a new

indenture (‘‘New Indenture’’). The New

Bonds will be subject to optional

redemption with premiums to be

determined by negotiations between

SWEPCO and the Purchasers and will

be subject to mandatory redemption if

the interest on the New Bonds become

subject to federal income tax.

SWEPCO may obtain a credit

enhancement for the New Bonds, which

could include bond insurance, a letter of

credit or a liquidity facility. SWEPCO

anticipates it may be required to provide

credit enhancement if it issues floating

rate bonds. A premium or fee would be

paid for the credit enhancement, which

would still result in the net benefit

through a reduced interest rate on the

New Bonds. SWEPCO will not provide

credit enhancement unless it is

economically beneficial.

SWEPCO also seeks authority to issue

first mortgage bonds as security for the

New Bonds, subject to applicable

indenture restrictions under its

Mortgage Indenture dated February 1,

1940 to the Continental Bank, National

Association and M.J. Kruger (‘‘Mortgage

Indenture’’). The First Mortgage Bonds

will be held by the Trustee for the New

Bonds for the benefit of the New Bond

holders and will not be transferable,

except to a successor trustee. The First

Mortgage Bonds will be issued in the

exact amount and have substantially the

same terms as the New Bonds. The

Supplemental Indenture or New

Indenture for the New Bonds may

provide that the New Bonds will cease

to be secured by First Mortgage Bonds

when all other First Mortgage Bonds

have been retired. To the extend

payments in respect of the New Bonds

are made in accordance with their

terms, corresponding payment

obligations under the First Mortgage

Bonds will be deemed satisfied.

The proceeds of the offering of the

New Bonds will be used to redeem the

Old Bonds pursuant to the terms of the

Indentures (‘‘Redemption’’) and

reimburse SWEPCO for expenditures

made that qualify for tax-exempt

financing or to provide for current solid

waste expenditures. The proceeds of

any offering may also be used to

reimburse SWEPCO for Old Bonds

previously acquired. Additional funds

required to pay for the Redemption and

the cost of issuance of the New Bonds

will be provided by SWEPCO from

internally generated funds and shortterm borrowings.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Investment Management, pursuant to

delegated authority.

Deputy Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

Notice of Request for Extension of a

Currently Approved Information

Collection

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended) this

notice announces the Department of

Transportation’s (DOT) intention to

request an extension for a currently

approved information collection.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be

received by July 22, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to

the Executive Secretariat, Office of the

Secretary, U.S. Department of

Transportation, 400 7th Street SW.,

Washington, DC 20590–0002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs.

Roberta Fede, Committee Management

Officer, Executive Secretariat, Office of

the Secretary, Department of

Transportation, at the address listed

above. Telephone: (202) 366–9764.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Advisory Committee Candidate

Biographical Information Request, DOT

F1120.1.

OMB Control Number: 2105–0009.

Expiration Date: August 31, 1996.

Type of Request: Extension for a

currently approved information

collection.

Abstract: The collection of

information obtained by the Advisory

Committee Candidate Biographical

Information Request form enables

Departmental officials to review the

qualifications of individuals who wish

to serve on Department-sponsored

advisory committees and the

qualifications of persons who have been

recommended to serve. The collection

provides uniform data for each

individual and enables DOT to comply

with the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (Pub. L. 92–463) (5 U.S.C. App.)

which requires that advisory committee

membership be balanced.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 101 / Thursday, May 23, 1996 / Notices 25933

A number of DOT’s advisory

committees were created by statute, and

have statutory requirements for

education, experience, or expertise. The

data collection enables DOT to comply

with such statutory membership

requirements, by providing information

from which officials may determine

which individuals meet specific

qualification standards for particular

advisory committees and for particular

positions within a committee. In fact,

some statutory committees require very

narrow and specific expertise for each

position on the committee, which can

be ascertained by reviewing the

Advisory Committee Candidate

Biographical Information Request form.

Finally, the data collection allows

officials to retain a file of interested

applicants. As vacancies occur on

specific advisory committees, the

applications and qualifications can be

reviewed for possible placement.

In the absence of the data collection,

officials would have to contact by

telephone or by letter each person who

expressed an interest or who was

recommended for an advisory

committee position, to determine his/

her interest, education, experience, or

expertise. This would be a more timeconsuming and costly data collection

effort which would have to be repeated

if the individual were to be considered

at a later time for vacancies on other

advisory committees.

Respondents: Individuals who have

contacted DOT to indicate an interest in

appointment to an advisory committee

and individuals who have been

recommended for membership on an

advisory committee. Only one collection

is expected per individual.

Estimated Number of Respondents

per Year: 100.

Average Annual Burden per

Respondent: 15 minutes.

Estimated Total Burden on

Respondents Per Year: 25 hours.

This information collection is

available for inspection at the Office of

the Executive Secretariat, Room 10205,

Office of the Secretary, DOT, at the

above address.

Comments are Invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the Department, (b)

the accuracy of the Department’s

estimate of the burden of the proposed

information collection; and (c) ways to

minimize the burden and enhance the

quality of the collection.

All responses to this notice will be

summarized and included in the request

for OMB approval. All comments will

also become a matter of public record.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 20,

1996.

Director, Executive Secretariat.
