NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 

6.8. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert G. Carpenter, U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is withdrawing 

Regulatory Guide 6.8, ‘‘Identification 

Plaque for Irretrievable Well-Logging 

Sources,’’ published in October 1978. 

Regulatory Guide 6.8 provides guidance 

on acceptable design and mounting 

practices of the plaques, which are 

placed at the surface of wells to indicate 

the presence of an irretrievable welllogging source. The NRC is withdrawing 

this regulatory guide because it is no 

longer required. 

Regulatory Guide 6.8 references Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR), Sections 30 and 70, which no 

longer contain guidance for design or 

mounting of identification plaques. The 

current regulation regarding the 

identification plaques is found in 10 

CFR 39.15, ‘‘Agreement with Well 

Owner or Operator.’’ Regulatory Guide 

6.8 is no longer required because the 

current regulations in 10 CFR 

39.15(a)(5) provide a specific 

description for the design and mounting 

of identification plaques for irretrievable 

well-logging sources. The instruction in 

10 CFR 39.15(a)(5) is sufficient without 

further guidance. 

II. Further Information 

The withdrawal of Regulatory Guide 

6.8 does not 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Regulatory guides may be withdrawn 

when their guidance is superseded by 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. 

You can reach the PDR staff 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 Commission approval 

is not required to reproduce them. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day 

of October 2008. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND 

BUDGET 

Information Collection Activities: 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.), the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) invites the general 

public and Federal agencies to comment 

on the renewal without change of four 

(4) standard forms: SF–269, Financial 

Status Report (Long Form); SF–269A, 

Financial Status Report (Short Form); 

SF–272, Federal Cash Transactions 

Report; and SF–272A, Federal Cash 

Transactions Report. OMB anticipates 

that this will be the last renewal of these 

forms. By no later than October 1, 2009, 

each federal agency must transition 

from the SF–269, SF–269A, SF–272, and 

SF–272A to the Federal Financial 

Report (FFR), by requiring recipients to 

use the FFR for all financial reports 

submitted after the date it makes the 

transition. In making the transition, an 

agency would incorporate the 

requirement to use the FFR into terms 

and conditions of new and ongoing 

grant and cooperative agreement 

awards, State plans, and/or program 

regulations that specify financial 

reporting requirements. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before December 15, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Due to potential delays in 

OMB’s receipt and processing of mail 

sent through the U.S. Postal Service, we 

encourage respondents to submit 

comments electronically to ensure 

timely receipt. We cannot guarantee that 

comments mailed will be received 

before the comment closing date. 

Comments may be sent via http:// 

www.regulations.gov—a Federal EGovernment Web site that allows the 

public to find, review, and submit 

comments on documents that agencies 

have published in the Federal Register 

and that are open for comment. Simply 

type the form number in quotes in the 

Comment or Submission search box, 

click Go, and follow the instructions for 

submitting comments. Comments 

received by the date specified above 

will be included as part of the official 

record. 

Comments may be e-mailed to: 

mpridgen@omb.eop.gov. Please include 

the form number in the subject line of 

your e-mail message. Also, please 

include the full body of your comments 

in the text of the electronic message, as 

well as in an attachment. Please include 

your name, title, organization, postal 

address, telephone number, and e-mail 

address in the text of the message. 

Comments may also be submitted via 

facsimile to (202) 395–3952. 

Comments may be mailed to

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Proposed Extension of Existing 

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 15c2–1, SEC File No. 270–418, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0485. 

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 publishing the 

following summaries of collections for 

public comment. 

Rule 15c2–1 (17 CFR 240.15c2–1) 

prohibits the commingling under the 

same lien of securities of margin 

customers (a) with other customers 

without their written consent and (b) 

with the broker or dealer. The rule also 

prohibits the rehypothecation of 

customers’ margin securities for a sum 

in excess of the customer’s aggregate 

indebtedness. See Securities Exchange 

Act Release No. 2690 (November 15, 

1940); Securities Exchange Act Release 

No. 9428 (December 29, 1971). Pursuant 

to Rule 15c2–1, respondents must 

collect information necessary to prevent 

the rehypothecation of customer 

securities in contravention of the rule, 

issue and retain copies of notices of 

hypothecation of customer securities in 

accordance with the rule, and collect 

written consents from customers in 

accordance with the rule. The 

information is necessary to ensure 

compliance with the rule, and to advise 

customers of the rule’s protections. 

There are approximately 126 

respondents (i.e., broker-dealers that 

carry or clear customer accounts that 

also have bank loans) that require an 

aggregate total of 2,835 hours to comply 

with the rule. Each of these 

approximately 126 registered brokerdealers makes an estimated 45 annual 

responses. Each response takes 

approximately 0.5 hours to complete. 

Thus, the total compliance burden per 

year is 2,835 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 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

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. 

Please direct your written comments 

to Lewis W. Walker, Acting Director/ 

Chief Information Officer, Securities 

and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley 

Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, 

Alexandria, Virginia 22312; or send an 

e-mail to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.
