SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES

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Regulatory guides may be withdrawn
when their guidance is superseded by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

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

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

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:
[email protected]. 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.

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 broker-

dealers 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: [email protected].
