the license and the transfer of the

control is otherwise consistent with

BILLING CODE 7590–01–M

Phased Withdrawal From the Small

Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

Program in FY 1996

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The NRC has participated in

the SBIR program since its inception in

1982. However, due to significant

reductions in the NRC’s FY 1996

budget, the extramural research and

development (R&D) budget falls

substantially below the $100 million

threshold for mandatory participation in

the SBIR program. This current trend is

expected to continue into future fiscal

years. The NRC must focus its limited

research funds on high priority work

needed to support, confirm, or refine

judgments used in regulatory decisions

affecting public health and safety.

Therefore, the NRC requested, in a letter

to the U.S. Small Business

Administration, Office of Technology

dated September 19, 1995, approval for

a phased withdrawal from the SBIR

program in FY 1996 and beyond. SBA

responded on April 16, 1996, that the

NRC’s phased withdrawal was

approved. Should the NRC’s extramural

R&D budget increase above the $100

million threshold in the coming years,

the NRC would again participate in the

SBIR program. The phased withdrawal is being

accomplished as follows: (1) A SBIR

Phase I solicitation will not be issued in

FY 1996 or future years while the NRC

is below the mandatory threshold for

participation in this program; (2) in FY

1996 the NRC will fund between onethird and one-half of the Phase II

proposals resulting from its FY 1995

SBIR Phase I awards; and (3) the NRC

is informing the small business

community of this action through this

Federal Register Notice and will issue

letters to the small businesses on its

SBIR mailing list.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marianne Riggs on (301) 415–5822 or

Deborah Neff on (301) 415–8160.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC

continues to support small business

opportunities. For further information

regarding the NRC small business

program, you may contact the Office of

Small Business and Civil Rights on

(301) 415–7380.

Dated at Rockville, MD this 10th day of

June 1996.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE

COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available

From: Securities and Exchange

Commission, Office of Filings and

Information Services, Washington, DC

20549

Extension: Rule 17f–4

SEC File No. 270–232

OMB Control No. 3235–0225

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 a

request for approval of extension on the

following rule:

Rule 17f–4 [17 CFR 270.17f–4] under

the Investment Company Act of 1940

[15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.] (the ‘‘Act’’)

specifies conditions under which a

registered management investment

company or its custodian may place the

company’s securities in a securities

depository. The rule requires a

custodian to provide confirmations and

keep records of transactions, and

requires the custodian, its agents, and

depositories to provide reports on

internal accounting controls.

Confirmations and records give the

company objective evidence of

transactions performed on its behalf.

Reports on internal controls provide

information necessary to evaluate the

safety of depository arrangements.

Approximately 100 custodians are

subject to the requirement to provide

confirmations and keep records, and

those custodians and approximately 150

other agents and six depositories are

subject to the requirement to provide

internal control reports. The 256

respondents make approximately 25,256

responses and spend approximately

25,256 hours annually in complying

with the reporting and recordkeeping

requirements of the rule.

The estimates of burden hours 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.

General comments regarding the

estimated burden hours should be

directed to the Desk Officer for the

Securities and Exchange Commission at

the address below. Any comments

concerning the accuracy of the

estimated average burden hours for

compliance with Commission rules and

forms should be directed to Michael E.

Bartell, Associate Executive Director,

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application

To Withdraw From Listing and

Registration; (Del Global Technologies

Corp., Common Stock, $.10 Par Value)

June 10, 1996.

Del Global Technologies Corp.

(‘‘Company’’) has filed an application

with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (‘‘Commission’’), pursuant

to Section 12(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’) and Rule

12d2–2(d) promulgated thereunder, to

withdraw the above specified security

(‘‘Security’’) from listing and

registration on the American Stock

Exchange, Inc. (‘‘Amex’’).

The reasons alleged in the application

for withdrawing the Security from

listing and registration include the

following:

According to the Company, its Board

of Directors unanimously approved

resolutions on March 26, 1996 to

withdraw the Security from listing on

the Amex and instead, to list the

Securities on the National Association

of Securities Dealers Automated

Quotations National Market System

(‘‘Nasdaq/NMS’’).

The decision of the Board followed a

thorough study of the matter and was

based upon the belief that listing the

Security on the Nasdaq/NMS will be

more beneficial to the Company’s

stockholders than the present listing on

the Amex because:

1. The Nasdaq system of multiple,

competing market makers will provide

the Company with increased visibility

within the financial community, thereby

encouraging greater investor awareness

of the Company’s activities.

2. The Nasdaq system will enable the

Company to attract its own group of

market makers and expand the capital

base available for purchases of its

Security;

3. The Nasdaq system will, in the

Company’s directors’ opinions,

stimulate increased demand for the

Security and result in greater liquidity

for the Company’s shareholders; and

4. The firm making a market in the

Security on Nasdaq will be more likely

to institute and issue research reports on

the Company, which will increase the

availability of information about the

Company and enhance the Company’s

visibility to investors.

Any interested person may, on or

before July 1, 1996 submit by letter to

the Secretary of the Securities and

Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street,

NW., Washington, DC 20549, facts

bearing upon whether the application

has been made in accordance with the

rules of the exchanges and what terms,

if any, should be imposed by the

Commission for the protection of

investors. The Commission, based on

the information submitted to it, will

issue an order granting the application

after the date mentioned above, unless

the Commission determines to order a

hearing on the matter.

For the Commission, by the Division of

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated

authority.

Jonathan G. Katz,

Secretary.
