Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / Notices 53717 

established under the Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA), is responsible for the 

enrollment of individuals who wish to 

perform actuarial services under ERISA. 

The Joint Board has established an 

Advisory Committee on Actuarial 

Examinations (Advisory Committee) to 

assist in its examination duties 

mandated by ERISA. The current 

Advisory Committee members’ terms 

expire on February 28, 2011. This notice 

describes the Advisory Committee and 

invites applications from those 

interested in serving on it. 

1. General 

To qualify for enrollment to perform 

actuarial services under ERISA, an 

applicant must have requisite pension 

actuarial experience and satisfy 

knowledge requirements as provided in 

the Joint Board’s regulations. The 

knowledge requirements may be 

satisfied by successful completion of 

Joint Board examinations in basic 

actuarial mathematics and methodology 

and in actuarial mathematics and 

methodology relating to pension plans 

qualifying under ERISA. 

The Joint Board, the Society of 

Actuaries, and the American Society of 

Pension Professionals & Actuaries 

jointly offer examinations acceptable to 

the Joint Board for enrollment purposes 

and acceptable to those actuarial 

organizations as part of their respective 

examination programs. 

2. Programs 

The Advisory Committee plays an 

integral role in the examination program 

by assisting the Joint Board in offering 

examinations that will enable 

examination candidates to demonstrate 

the knowledge necessary to qualify for 

enrollment. The Advisory Committee 

will discuss the philosophy of such 

examinations, will review topics 

appropriately covered in them, and will 

make recommendations relative thereto. 

It also will recommend to the Joint 

Board proposed examination questions. 

The Joint Board will maintain liaison 

with the Advisory Committee in this 

process to ensure that its views on 

examination content are understood. 

3. Function 

The manner in which the Advisory 

Committee functions in preparing 

examination questions is intertwined 

with the jointly administered 

examination program. Under that 

program, the participating actuarial 

organizations draft questions and 

submit them to the Advisory Committee 

for its consideration. After review of the 

draft questions, the Advisory Committee 

selects appropriate questions, modifies 

them as it deems desirable, and then 

prepares one or more drafts of actuarial 

examinations to be recommended to the 

Joint Board. (In addition to revisions of 

the draft questions, it may be necessary 

for the Advisory Committee to originate 

questions and include them in what is 

recommended.) 

4. Membership 

The Joint Board will take steps to 

ensure maximum practicable 

representation on the Advisory 

Committee of points of view regarding 

the Joint Board’s actuarial examination 

extant in the community at large and 

from nominees provided by the 

actuarial organizations. Since the 

members of the actuarial organizations 

comprise a large segment of the 

actuarial profession, this appointive 

process ensures expression of a broad 

spectrum of viewpoints. All members of 

the Advisory Committee will be 

expected to act in the public interest, 

that is, to produce examinations that 

will help ensure a level of competence 

among those who will be accorded 

enrollment to perform actuarial services 

under ERISA. 

Membership normally will be limited 

to actuaries previously enrolled by the 

Joint Board. However, individuals 

having academic or other special 

qualifications of particular value for the 

Advisory Committee’s work also will be 

considered for membership. Federallyregistered lobbyists may not be members 

of the Advisory Committee. 

The Advisory Committee will meet 

about four times a year. Advisory 

Committee members should be prepared 

to devote from 125 to 175 hours, 

including meeting time, to the work of 

the Advisory Committee over the course 

of a year. Members will be reimbursed 

for travel expenses incurred, in 

accordance with applicable government 

regulations. 

Actuaries interested in serving on the 

Advisory Committee should express 

their interest and fully state their 

qualifications in a letter addressed to: 

Joint Board for the Enrollment of 

Actuaries, c/o Office of Professional 

Responsibility SE:OPR, Internal 

Revenue Service, Attn: Executive 

Director IR–7238, 1111 Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20224. 

Any questions may be directed to the 

Joint Board’s Executive Director at 202– 

622–8225. 

The deadline for accepting 

applications is November 30, 2010. 

Dated: August 24, 2010.

Executive Director, Joint Board for the 

Enrollment of Actuaries.

Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree 

Under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act 

Notice is hereby given that on August 

25, 2010, a proposed Consent Decree in 

United States of America and State of 

Texas v.

Products’ chemical manufacturing 

facility in Pasadena, Texas. The 

Complaint alleged that Air Products’ 

past practice of sending spent sulfuric 

acid hazardous waste to the neighboring 

Agrifos Fertilizer, Inc. (‘‘Agrifos’’) 

facility for disposal violated several 

provisions of RCRA. The Complaint also 

alleged one violation of RCRA’s 

hazardous waste labeling requirements. 

The State of Texas has joined as a coplaintiff and brings its own claims 

under State law. In the proposed 

Consent Decree, Air Products agrees to 

manage the spent sulfuric acid on-site, 

and not to ship it to Agrifos or to any 

other facility not authorized to accept it; 

and to certify its compliance with 

labeling and other requirements 

applicable to hazardous waste storage 

tanks on site. Finally, the Consent 

Decree requires Air Products to pay a
