SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There are 

several characteristics associated with 

DC control circuits that are unique as 

compared to AC control circuits. It is 

because of these unique characteristics 

that the extrapolation of the AC circuit 

test results to DC circuits introduces 

significant uncertainty. Cable failure 

modes and effects for DC control 

circuits may differ significantly from the 

corresponding behaviors in AC circuits. 

In order to assess behavioral differences 

and reduce analysis uncertainty, it is 

necessary to conduct tests using DC 

circuits. 

Previous fire-induced testing has 

focused on determining the failure 

characteristics of alternating current 

circuits, with only a limited amount of 

data on direct current (DC) circuits. The 

purpose of the Draft Test Plan entitled 

‘‘Draft Project Plan for Fire-Induced 

Failure Modes and Effects Testing of 

Direct Current Driven Control Circuit 

Cables,’’ is to provide a structured plan 

for conducting a large number of circuit 

integrity tests to meet the objective of 

providing data on spurious actuations 

related to risk-significant DC circuits 

typically encountered in nuclear power 

plants. 

The NRC is seeking public comment 

in order to receive feedback from the 

widest range of interested parties and to 

ensure that all information relevant to 

developing this document is available to 

the NRC staff. This document is issued 

for comment only and is not intended 

for interim use. The NRC will review 

public comments received on the 

documents, incorporate suggested 

changes as necessary, and make the 

final test plan available to the public 

through ADAMS.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 

8.1. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mark P. Orr, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001, telephone: 301–415–6373 or email to Mark.Orr@nrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is withdrawing 

Regulatory Guide 8.1, ‘‘Radiation 

Symbol,’’ published February 2, 1973. 

The NRC is withdrawing this regulatory 

guide because it is no longer required. 

Regulatory Guide 8.1 references Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 

Subsection 20.203 (10 CFR 20.203), 

which has been deleted from the CFR. 

The current regulations for the radiation 

symbol are found in 10 CFR 20.1901, 

‘‘Caution Signs.’’ The guide is no longer 

required because the current regulations 

in 10 CFR 20.1901(a) provide a specific 

description for the design of the 

approved trefoil radiation symbol. The 

instructions in 10 CFR 20.1901(a) are 

sufficient and no additional guidance is 

needed. 

Regulatory Guide 8.1 is a one-page 

guide that endorses American National 

Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard 

N2.1–1969, ‘‘Radiation Symbol,’’ dated 

October 27, 1969. This standard was 

revised in 1989 and issued as ANSI 

N2.1–1989. It was later withdrawn in 

accordance with the ANSI policy not to 

extend a standard’s period of 

endorsement beyond 10 years and it has 

not been replaced. 

II. Further Information 

The withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 

8.1 does not, in and of itself, alter any 

prior or existing licensing commitments 

based on its use. The guidance provided 

in this regulatory guide is no longer 

necessary. Regulatory guides may be 

withdrawn when their guidance is 

superseded by congressional action or 

no longer provides useful information. 

Regulatory guides are available for 

inspection or downloading through the 

NRC’s public Web site under 

‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ in the NRC’s 

Electronic Reading Room at http:// 

www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections. Regulatory guides are also 

available for inspection at the NRC’s 

Public Document Room (PDR), Room O– 

1 F21, One White Flint North, 11555 

Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852– 

2738. The PDR’s mailing address is U.S. 

NRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–0001. 

The PDR staff can be reached by 

telephone at 301–415–4737 or 800–397– 

4209, by fax at 301–415–3548, and by email to pdr@nrc.gov. 

Regulatory guides are not 

copyrighted, and NRC approval is not 

required to reproduce them.

of September 2008.

Commission, Office of Investor

Washington, DC 20549–0213 

Extension: Rule 10b–17, OMB Control No. 

3235–0476, SEC File No. 270–427 

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 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 10b–17 (17 CFR 240.10b–17)— 

Untimely Announcements of Record 

Dates 

Rule 10b–17 requires any issuer of a 

class of securities publicly traded by the 

use of any means or instrumentality of 

interstate commerce or of the mails or 

of any facility of any national securities 

exchange to give notice of the following 

specific distributions relating to such 

class of securities: (1) A dividend or 

other distribution in cash or in kind 

other than interest payments on debt 

securities; (2) a stock split or reverse 

stock split; or (3) a rights or other 

subscription offering. 

There are approximately 4,052 

respondents per year. These 

respondents make approximately 17,262 

responses per year. Each response takes 

approximately 10 minutes to complete. 

Thus, the total compliance burden per 

year is 2,877 burden hours. 

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.
