IAEA inspectors, give immediate notice 

to the NRC in specified situations 

involving the possibility of loss of 

nuclear material, and give notice for 

imports and exports of specified 

amounts of nuclear material. These 

licensees will also follow written 

material accounting and control 

procedures. Reporting of transfer and 

material balance records to the IAEA 

will be done through the U.S. State 

system (Nuclear Materials Management 

and Safeguards System, collected under 

OMB clearance numbers 3150–0003, 

3150–0004, 3150–0057, and 3150– 

0058.) The NRC needs this information 

to implement its international 

obligations under the U.S.-IAEA 

Caribbean Territories Safeguards 

Agreement (INFCIRC/366).

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2017–0216] 

Vital Area Access Controls, Protection 

of Physical Security Equipment, and 

Key and Lock Controls 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Regulatory guide; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is withdrawing 

Regulatory Guide (RG) 5.65, ‘‘Vital Area 

Access Controls, Protection of Physical 

Security Equipment, and Key and Lock 

Controls,’’ dated September 1986. This 

document is being withdrawn because it 

is outdated and has been superseded by 

other NRC guidance, and therefore, no 

longer provides methods that the NRC 

staff finds acceptable in future requests 

or applications for NRC’s licensing 

actions. 

DATES: The applicable date of the 

withdrawal of RG 5.65 is November 13, 

2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC 

is withdrawing RG 5.65, ‘‘Vital Area 

Access Controls, Protection of Physical 

Security Equipment, and Key and Lock 

Controls,’’ because of the following 

regulatory and technical issues: 

• On March 27, 2009 (74 FR 13926), 

the Commission amended part 73 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), for nuclear power 

plants to incorporate security 

requirements that were issued through 

Commission security orders as a result 

of the September 11, 2001 terrorist 

attacks. In addition, the rulemaking 

added several new requirements to 

incorporate insights gained from 

implementation of the security orders, 

review of site security plans, 

implementation of the NRC’s enhanced 

baseline inspection program, and the 

NRC’s evaluation of force-on-force 

exercises. As a result, the guidance in 

RG 5.65 became outdated. 

In addition, more recent regulatory 

guidance has been issued that 

supersedes the guidance in RG 5.65. 

• The RG 5.66, ‘‘Access Authorization 

Program for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ Rev. 

2 (October 2011) supersedes RG 5.65. 

The RG 5.65 does not address the 

current requirements of 10 CFR 73.56 

with regard to access authorization at 

nuclear power plants. Instead, RG 5.66 

provides an acceptable approach by 

which licensees can establish and 

implement an access authorization 

program for granting unescorted access 

to protected and vital areas of a nuclear 

power plant. 

• The RG 5.76, ‘‘Physical Protection 

at Nuclear Power Reactors’’ (July 2009), 

which was issued to facilitate 

implementation of the new 10 CFR part 

73 rule in 2009, supersedes RG 5.65. 

Specifically, RG 5.65 contains 

duplicative or outdated discussions 

regarding protection of security 

equipment, vital and protected area 

transients, delays, barriers, underground 

pathways, power, escort, ingress and 

egress, record keeping, and review/audit 

requirements. 

• The RG 5.12, ‘‘General Use of Locks 

in the Protection and Control of: 

Facilities, Radioactive Materials, 

Classified Information, Classified 

Matter, and Safeguards Information,’’ 

Rev. 1 (October 2016), supersedes RG 

5.65. Regarding keys and locks, the 

guidance offered in RG 5.65 is brief and 

limited to two paragraphs, discussing 

the requirement and frequency to 

change and rotate keys, locks, and 

combinations. The same information is 

discussed in much greater detail in RG 

5.12. 

• The RG 5.74, ‘‘Managing the Safety/ 

Security Interface,’’ Rev. 1 (April 2015), 

supersedes RG 5.65. With regard to 

managing the safety and security 

interface, RG 5.65 provides only brief 

guidance (one paragraph) on the cross 

training of roles, responsibilities, and 

general practices of the safety and 

security organizations as a mechanism 

to reduce interface problems. The RG 

5.74 provides more detailed guidance 

for training to aid the interface between 

safety and security organizations. 

II. Further Information 

The withdrawal of RG 5.65 does not 

alter any prior or existing NRC licensing 

approval or the acceptability of licensee 

commitments made regarding the 

withdrawn guidance. Although RG 5.65 

is withdrawn, current licensees 

referencing this RG may continue to do 

so, and withdrawal does not affect any 

existing licenses or agreements. 

However, by withdrawing RG 5.65, the 

NRC no longer approves use of the

1 15 U.S.C. 80a–53(a). 

2 15 U.S.C. 80a–53(c). 

3The industry burden is calculated by 

multiplying the total annual hour burden to prepare 

Form N–54C (four) by the estimated hourly wage 

rate of $345 for a compliance attorney or other 

business development company employee with 

similar duties and responsibilities. The estimated 

wage figure is based on published rates for 

compliance attorneys from the Securities Industry 

and Financial Markets Association’s Report on 

Management & Professional Earnings in the 

Securities Industry 2013, modified by Commission 

staff to account for an 1800 hour work-year and 

inflation, and multiplied by 5.35 to account for 

bonuses, firm size, employee benefits and overhead, 

yielding an effective hourly rate of $1,380.

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon Written Request, Copies Available 

From: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 

100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 

20549–2736. 

Extension: 

Form N–54C; SEC File No. 270–184, OMB 

Control No. 3235–0236 

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 (the 

‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget a 

request for extension of the previously 

approved collection of information 

discussed below. 

Certain investment companies can 

elect to be regulated as business 

development companies, as defined in 

section 2(a)(48) of the Investment 

Company Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment 

Company Act’’), under sections 55 

through 65 of the Investment Company 

Act. Under section 54(a) of the 

Investment Company Act,1 any 

company defined in section 2(a)(48)(A) 

and (B) of the Investment Company Act 

may, if it meets certain enumerated 

eligibility requirements, elect to be 

subject to the provisions of Sections 55 

through 65 of the Investment Company 

Act by filing with the Commission a 

notification of election. Under section 

54(c) of the Investment Company Act,2

any business development company 

may voluntarily withdraw its election 

under section 54(a) of the Investment 

Company Act by filing a notice of 

withdrawal of election with the 

Commission. The Commission has 

adopted Form N–54C as the form for the 

notification of withdrawal of election to 

be subject to Sections 55 through 65 of 

the Investment Company Act. The 

purpose of Form N–54C is to notify the 

Commission that the business 

development company withdraws its 

election to be subject to Sections 55 

through 65 of the Investment Company 

Act. 

The Commission estimates that on 

average approximately four business 

development companies file 

notifications on Form N–54C each year. 

Each of those business development 

companies need only make a single 

filing of Form N–54C. The Commission 

further estimates that this information 

collection imposes a burden of one 

hour, resulting in a total annual burden 

of four hours. Based on the estimated 

wage rate, the total cost to the business 

development company industry of the 

hour burden for complying with Form 

N–54C would be approximately $1,380.3

The collection of information under 

Form N–54C is mandatory. The 

information provided by the form is not 

kept confidential. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 

required to respond to, a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number.

documentation for this information 

collection at the following Web site,
