Terry.Beltz@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION
: I. Introduction The NRC is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating
 
License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27
 
issued to NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (the licensee) for operation of the  
 
Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP),
Units 1 and 2, located in Manitowac
 
County, Wisconsin.
The proposed amendment would increase the licensed core power level
 
for PBNP Units 1 and 2 from 1540
 
megawatts thermal (MWt) to 1800 MWt.
 
The increase in core thermal power will
 
be approximately 17 percent over the
 
current licensed thermal power level
 
and is categorized as an Extended Power  
 
Uprate (EPU). The proposed amendment  
 
would change the Renewed Facility  
 
Operating Licenses, the Technical  
 
Specifications (TSs) and licensing bases  
 
to support operation at the increased  
 
core thermal power level, including changes to the maximum licensed reactor core thermal power, reactor core
 
safety limits, constant axial offset
 
control operating strategy, reactor
 
protection system and engineered safety
 
feature actuation system, limited safety
 
system setting values, and diesel
 
generator (DG) start loss of voltage time
 
delays. Additional TS changes include
 
reactor coolant system flow rate, pressurizer operating level, pressurizer
 
safety valve settings, accumulator and
 
refueling water storage tank boron
 
concentrations, main steam safety valve
 
maximum allowable power level and lift
 
settings, new main feedwater isolation
 
valves, modifications to the auxiliary
 
feedwater system, condensate storage
 
tank level, and Core Operating Limits
 
Report references.
A high energy line break (HELB) outside containment program has been
 
reconstituted to ensure documentation
 
demonstrates compliance with the
 
plant's license basis. The review of the
 
EPU license amendment request will
 
include the HELB reconstitution to
 
verify compliance with the licensing
 
basis and acceptability for EPU
 
conditions. The HELB evaluations have
 
been re-evaluated at EPU conditions
 
using the following: (1) Implementation
 
of NRC Generic Letter 87-11,
''Relaxation in Arbitrary Intermediate Pipe Rupture Requirements,'' dated June 19, 1987, and Branch Technical Position
 
MEB 3-1, ''Postulated Rupture Locations in Fluid System Piping Inside and
 
Outside Containment,'' Revision 2, dated June 1987, (2) mass and energy
 
released from a HELB, (3) compartment
 
pressurization transient evaluation
 
following a HELB event, (4) jet
 
impingement from streams following a
 
HELB event, and (5) operator response
 
time evaluation.
II. Opportunity To Request a Hearing Requirements for hearing requests and petitions for leave to intervene are
 
found in 10 CFR 2.309, ''Hearing requests, petitions to intervene, requirements for standing, and
 
contentions.
'' Interested persons should consult 10 CFR part 2, Section 2.309, which is available at the NRC's PDR
 
located at O1-F21, One White Flint
 
North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852 (or call the PDR at 800-397-
 
4209 or 301-415-4737). NRC
 
regulations are also accessible
 
electronically from the NRC's Electronic
 
Reading Room on the NRC Web site at
 
http://www.nrc.gov.
III. Petitions for Leave To Intervene Any person whose interest may be affected by this proceeding and who
 
wishes to participate as a party in the VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:21 Nov 16, 2010Jkt 223001PO 00000Frm 00107Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM17NON1 mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 70306 Federal Register/Vol. 75, No. 221/Wednesday, November 17, 2010/Notices proceeding must file a written petition for leave to intervene. As required by 10
 
CFR 2.309, a petition for leave to
 
intervene shall set forth with
 
particularity the interest of the
 
requestor/petitioner in the proceeding
 
and how that interest may be affected by
 
the results of the proceeding. The
 
petition must provide the name, address, and telephone number of the
 
requestor or petitioner and specifically
 
explain the reasons why the
 
intervention should be permitted with
 
particular reference to the following
 
factors: (1) The nature of the requestor's/
 
petitioner's right under the Atomic
 
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to be
 
made a party to the proceeding; (2) the
 
nature and extent of the requestor's/
 
petitioner's property, financial, or other
 
interest in the proceeding; and (3) the
 
possible effect of any decision or order
 
which may be entered in the proceeding
 
on the requestor's/petitioner's interest.
 
The petition must also identify the
 
specific contentions which the
 
requestor/petitioner seeks to have
 
litigated at the proceeding.
A petition for leave to intervene must also include a specification of the
 
contentions that the petitioner seeks to
 
have litigated in the hearing. For each
 
contention, the requestor/petitioner
 
must provide a specific statement of the
 
issue of law or fact to be raised or
 
controverted, as well as a brief
 
explanation of the basis for the
 
contention. Additionally, the requestor/
 
petitioner must demonstrate that the
 
issue raised by each contention is
 
within the scope of the proceeding and
 
is material to the findings the NRC must
 
make to support the granting of a license
 
amendment in response to the
 
application. The petition must include a
 
concise statement of the alleged facts or
 
expert opinions which support the
 
position of the requestor/petitioner and
 
on which the requestor/petitioner
 
intends to rely at hearing, together with
 
references to the specific sources and
 
documents on which the requestor/
 
petitioner intends to rely. Finally, the
 
petition must provide sufficient
 
information to show that a genuine
 
dispute exists with the applicant on a
 
material issue of law or fact, including
 
references to specific portions of the
 
application for amendment that the
 
requestor/petitioner disputes and the
 
supporting reasons for each dispute, or, if the requestor/petitioner believes that
 
the application for amendment fails to
 
contain information on a relevant matter
 
as required by law, the identification of
 
each failure and the supporting reasons
 
for the requestor's/petitioner's belief.
 
Each contention must be one which, if proven, would entitle the requestor/
petitioner to relief.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any
 
limitations in the order granting leave to
 
intervene, and have the opportunity to
 
participate fully in the conduct of the
 
hearing with respect to resolution of
 
that person's admitted contentions, including the opportunity to present
 
evidence and to submit a cross-
 
examination plan for cross-examination
 
of witnesses, consistent with NRC
 
regulations, policies, and procedures.
 
The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (the Board) will set the time and place
 
for any prehearing conferences and
 
evidentiary hearings, and the
 
appropriate notices will be provided.
Non-timely petitions for leave to intervene and contentions, amended
 
petitions, and supplemental petitions
 
will not be entertained absent a
 
determination by the Commission, the
 
Board or a presiding officer that the
 
petition should be granted and/or the
 
contentions should be admitted based
 
upon a balancing of the factors specified
 
in 10 CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i)-(viii).
A State, county, municipality, Federally-recognized Indian Tribe, or
 
agencies thereof, may submit a petition
 
to the Commission to participate as a
 
party under 10 CFR 2.309(d)(2). The
 
petition should state the nature and
 
extent of the petitioner's interest in the
 
proceeding. The petition should be
 
submitted to the Commission by January
 
18, 2011. The petition must be filed in
 
accordance with the filing instructions
 
in Section IV of this document, and
 
should meet the requirements for
 
petitions for leave to intervene set forth
 
in this section, except that State and
 
Federally-recognized Indian Tribes do
 
not need to address the standing
 
requirements in 10 CFR 2.309(d)(1) if
 
the facility is located within its
 
boundaries. The entities listed above
 
could also seek to participate in a
 
hearing as a nonparty pursuant to 10
 
CFR 2.315(c).
Any person who does not wish, or is not qualified, to become a party to this
 
proceeding may request permission to
 
make a limited appearance pursuant to
 
the provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A
 
person making a limited appearance
 
may make an oral or written statement
 
of position on the issues, but may not
 
otherwise participate in the proceeding.
 
A limited appearance may be made at
 
any session of the hearing or at any
 
prehearing conference, subject to such
 
limits and conditions as may be
 
imposed by the Board. Persons desiring
 
to make a limited appearance are
 
requested to inform the Secretary of the
 
Commission by January 18, 2011.
If a hearing is requested, the Commission will make a final
 
determination on the issue of no
 
significant hazards consideration. The
 
final determination will serve to decide
 
when the hearing is held. If the final
 
determination is that the amendment
 
request involves no significant hazards
 
consideration, the Commission may
 
issue the amendment and make it
 
immediately effective, notwithstanding
 
the request for a hearing. Any hearing
 
held would take place after issuance of
 
the amendment. If the final
 
determination is that the amendment
 
request involves a significant hazards
 
consideration, then any hearing held
 
would take place before the issuance of
 
any amendment.
IV. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a
 
request for hearing, a petition for leave
 
to intervene, any motion or other
 
document filed in the proceeding prior
 
to the submission of a request for
 
hearing or petition to intervene, and
 
documents filed by interested
 
governmental entities participating
 
under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
 
accordance with the NRC E-Filing rule
 
(72 FR 49139, August 28, 2007). The E-
 
Filing process requires participants to
 
submit and serve all adjudicatory
 
documents over the Internet, or in some
 
cases to mail copies on electronic
 
storage media. Participants may not
 
submit paper copies of their filings
 
unless they seek an exemption in
 
accordance with the procedures
 
described below.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least ten
 
(10) days prior to the filing deadline, the
 
participant should contact the Office of
 
the Secretary by e-mail at
 
hearing.docket@nrc.gov , or by telephone at 301-415-1677, to request (1) a digital ID certificate, which allows the
 
participant (or its counsel or
 
representative) to digitally sign
 
documents and access the E-Submittal
 
server for any proceeding in which it is
 
participating; and (2) advise the
 
Secretary that the participant will be
 
submitting a request or petition for
 
hearing (even in instances in which the
 
participant, or its counsel or
 
representative, already holds an NRC-
 
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon
 
this information, the Secretary will
 
establish an electronic docket for the
 
hearing in this proceeding if the
 
Secretary has not already established an

filing requirements of the NRC's
''E-Filing Rule,'' the initial request to access SUNSI under these
 
procedures should be submitted as described in this
 
paragraph.
www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
apply-certificates.html.
System requirements for accessing the E-
 
Submittal server are detailed in NRC's
 
''Guidance for Electronic Submission,'' which is available on the agency's
 
public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/
site-help/e-submittals.html.
Participants may attempt to use other software not
 
listed on the Web site, but should note
 
that the NRC's E-Filing system does not
 
support unlisted software, and the NRC
 
Meta System Help Desk will not be able
 
to offer assistance in using unlisted
 
software.
If a participant is electronically submitting a document to the NRC in
 
accordance with the E-Filing rule, the
 
participant must file the document
 
using the NRC's online, Web-based
 
submission form. In order to serve
 
documents through the Electronic
 
Information Exchange System, users
 
will be required to install a Web
 
browser plug-in from the NRC Web site.
 
Further information on the Web-based
 
submission form, including the
 
installation of the Web browser plug-in, is available on the NRC's public Web
 
site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
Once a participant has obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has
 
been created, the participant can then
 
submit a request for hearing or petition
 
for leave to intervene. Submissions
 
should be in Portable Document Format (PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance
 
available on the NRC public Web site at
 
http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-
 
submittals.html.
A filing is considered complete at the time the documents are
 
submitted through the NRC's E-Filing
 
system. To be timely, an electronic
 
filing must be submitted to the E-Filing
 
system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern
 
Time on the due date. Upon receipt of
 
a transmission, the E-Filing system
 
time-stamps the document and sends
 
the submitter an e-mail notice
 
confirming receipt of the document. The
 
E-Filing system also distributes an e-
 
mail notice that provides access to the
 
document to the NRC Office of the
 
General Counsel and any others who
 
have advised the Office of the Secretary
 
that they wish to participate in the
 
proceeding, so that the filer need not
 
serve the documents on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants (or
 
their counsel or representative) must
 
apply for and receive a digital ID
 
certificate before a hearing request/
 
petition to intervene is filed so that they
 
can obtain access to the document via
 
the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the agency's adjudicatory E-Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC Meta System Help
 
Desk through the
''Contact Us
'' link located on the NRC Web site at http:// www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-
 
submittals.html , by e-mail at MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov , or by a toll-free call at 866-672-7640. The NRC
 
Meta System Help Desk is available
 
between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern
 
Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government holidays.
Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not submitting
 
documents electronically must file an
 
exemption request, in accordance with
 
10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper
 
filing requesting authorization to
 
continue to submit documents in paper
 
format. Such filings must be submitted
 
by: (1) First-class mail addressed to the
 
Office of the Secretary of the
 
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
 
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
 
0001, Attention: Rulemaking and
 
Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or expedited delivery
 
service to the Office of the Secretary, Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: Rulemaking
 
and Adjudications Staff. Participants
 
filing a document in this manner are
 
responsible for serving the document on
 
all other participants. Filing is
 
considered complete by first-class mail
 
as of the time of deposit in the mail, or
 
by courier, express mail, or expedited
 
delivery service upon depositing the
 
document with the provider of the
 
service. A presiding officer, having
 
granted an exemption request from
 
using E-Filing, may require a participant
 
or party to use E-Filing if the presiding
 
officer subsequently determines that the
 
reason for granting the exemption from
 
use of E-Filing no longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in NRC's
 
electronic hearing docket which is
 
available to the public at http:// ehd.nrc.gov/EHD
_Proceeding/home.asp , unless excluded pursuant to an order of
 
the Commission, or the presiding
 
officer. Participants are requested not to
 
include personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, home
 
addresses, or home phone numbers in
 
their filings, unless an NRC regulation
 
or other law requires submission of such
 
information. With respect to
 
copyrighted works, except for limited
 
excerpts that serve the purpose of the
 
adjudicatory filings and would
 
constitute a Fair Use application, participants are requested not to include
 
copyrighted materials in their
 
submission.
Petitions for leave to intervene must be filed no later than 60 days from
 
November 17, 2010. Non-timely filings
 
will not be entertained absent a
 
determination by the presiding officer
 
that the petition or request should be
 
granted or the contentions should be
 
admitted, based on a balancing of the
 
factors specified in 10 CFR
 
2.309(c)(1)(i)-(viii).

Order Imposing Procedures for Access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-
 
Safeguards Information for Contention
 
Preparation A. This Order contains instructions regarding how potential parties to this
 
proceeding may request access to
 
documents containing Sensitive
 
Unclassified Non-Safeguards
 
Information (SUNSI).
B. Within 10 days after publication of this notice of hearing and opportunity to
 
petition for leave to intervene, any
 
potential party who believes access to
 
SUNSI is necessary to respond to this
 
notice may request such access. A
 
''potential party
'' is any person who intends to participate as a party by
 
demonstrating standing and filing an
 
admissible contention under 10 CFR
 
2.309. Requests for access to SUNSI
 
submitted later than 10 days after
 
publication will not be considered
 
absent a showing of good cause for the
 
late filing, addressing why the request
 
could not have been filed earlier.
C. The requestor shall submit a letter requesting permission to access SUNSI
 
to the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention:
 
Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, and provide a copy to the Associate
 
General Counsel for Hearings, Enforcement and Administration, Office
 
of the General Counsel, Washington, DC
 
20555-0001. The expedited delivery or
 
courier mail address for both offices is:
 
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852. The e-mail address for
 
the Office of the Secretary and the
 
Office of the General Counsel are
 
Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov and OGCmailcenter@nrc.gov , respectively.
1 The request must include the following
 
information: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:21 Nov 16, 2010Jkt 223001PO 00000Frm 00109Fmt 4703Sfmt 4703E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM17NON1 mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 70308 Federal Register/Vol. 75, No. 221/Wednesday, November 17, 2010/Notices 2 Any motion for Protective Order or draft Non-Disclosure Affidavit or Agreement for SUNSI must
 
be filed with the presiding officer or the Chief
 
Administrative Judge if the presiding officer has not yet been designated, within 30 days of the deadline for the receipt of the written access request.
3 Requestors should note that the filing requirements of the NRC's E-Filing Rule (72 FR
 
49139; August 28, 2007) apply to appeals of NRC staff determinations (because they must be served on a presiding officer or the Commission, as
 
applicable), but not to the initial SUNSI request
 
submitted to the NRC staff under these procedures.
(1) A description of the licensing action with a citation to this Federal Register notice; (2) The name and address of the potential party and a description of the
 
potential party's particularized interest
 
that could be harmed by the action
 
identified in C.(1);
(3) The identity of the individual or entity requesting access to SUNSI and
 
the requestor's basis for the need for the
 
information in order to meaningfully
 
participate in this adjudicatory
 
proceeding. In particular, the request
 
must explain why publicly-available
 
versions of the information requested
 
would not be sufficient to provide the
 
basis and specificity for a proffered
 
contention; D. Based on an evaluation of the information submitted under paragraph
 
C.(3) the NRC staff will determine
 
within 10 days of receipt of the request
 
whether: (1) There is a reasonable basis to believe the petitioner is likely to
 
establish standing to participate in this
 
NRC proceeding; and (2) The requestor has established a legitimate need for access to SUNSI.
E. If the NRC staff determines that the requestor satisfies both D.(1) and D.(2)
 
above, the NRC staff will notify the
 
requestor in writing that access to
 
SUNSI has been granted. The written
 
notification will contain instructions on
 
how the requestor may obtain copies of
 
the requested documents, and any other
 
conditions that may apply to access to
 
those documents. These conditions may
 
include, but are not limited to, the
 
signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement
 
or Affidavit, or Protective Order 2 setting forth terms and conditions to prevent the unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of SUNSI by each individual
 
who will be granted access to SUNSI.
F. Filing of Contentions. Any contentions in these proceedings that
 
are based upon the information received
 
as a result of the request made for
 
SUNSI must be filed by the requestor no
 
later than 25 days after the requestor is
 
granted access to that information.
 
However, if more than 25 days remain
 
between the date the petitioner is
 
granted access to the information and
 
the deadline for filing all other
 
contentions (as established in the notice
 
of hearing or opportunity for hearing),
the petitioner may file its SUNSI
 
contentions by that later deadline.
G. Review of Denials of Access.
 
(1) If the request for access to SUNSI is denied by the NRC staff either after
 
a determination on standing and need
 
for access, or after a determination on
 
trustworthiness and reliability, the NRC
 
staff shall immediately notify the
 
requestor in writing, briefly stating the
 
reason or reasons for the denial.
(2) The requestor may challenge the NRC staff's adverse determination by
 
filing a challenge within 5 days of
 
receipt of that determination with: (a)
 
The presiding officer designated in this
 
proceeding; (b) if no presiding officer
 
has been appointed, the Chief
 
Administrative Judge, or if he or she is
 
unavailable, another administrative
 
judge, or an administrative law judge
 
with jurisdiction pursuant to 10 CFR
 
2.318(a); or (c) if another officer has
 
been designated to rule on information
 
access issues, with that officer.
H. Review of Grants of Access. A party other than the requestor may
 
challenge an NRC staff determination granting access to SUNSI whose release would harm that party's interest
 
independent of the proceeding. Such a
 
challenge must be filed with the Chief
 
Administrative Judge within 5 days of
 
the notification by the NRC staff of its
 
grant of access.
If challenges to the NRC staff determinations are filed, these
 
procedures give way to the normal
 
process for litigating disputes
 
concerning access to information. The
 
availability of interlocutory review by
 
the Commission of orders ruling on
 
such NRC staff determinations (whether
 
granting or denying access) is governed
 
by 10 CFR 2.311.
3 I. The Commission expects that the NRC staff and presiding officers (and
 
any other reviewing officers) will
 
consider and resolve requests for access
 
to SUNSI, and motions for protective
 
orders, in a timely fashion in order to
 
minimize any unnecessary delays in
 
identifying those petitioners who have
 
standing and who have propounded
 
contentions meeting the specificity and
 
basis requirements in 10 CFR part 2.
to this Order summarizes
 
the general target schedule for
 
processing and resolving requests under
 
these procedures.
It is so ordered.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, November 10, 2010.
For the Commission.
Annette L. Vietti-Cook, Secretary of the Commission.

BILLING CODE 7590-01-P SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Proposed Collection; Comment Request Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Office of Investor
 
Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC 20549-0213.
Extension:
Rule 15Ba2-6T; OMB Control No. 3235-0659; SEC File No. 270-618.
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 existing collection of information
 
provided for in the following rule: Rule
 
15Ba2-6T-Temporary Registration as a
 
Municipal Advisor; Required
 
Amendments; and Withdrawal from
 
Temporary Registration (17 CFR
 
240.15Ba2-6T) under the Securities
 
Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (''Exchange Act
''). The Commission plans to submit this existing collection
 
of information to the Office of
 
Management and Budget (''OMB'') for extension and approval.
Paragraph (a) of Rule 15Ba2-6T requires municipal advisors, as defined
 
in Section 15B(e)(4) of the Exchange Act
 
(15 U.S.C. 78 o-4(e)(4)), to electronically file with the Commission on the
 
Commission's Web site at the following
 
link, Municipal Advisor Registration. The information set forth in Form MA-T (17 CFR 249.1300T) to temporarily register or withdraw from temporary
 
registration.
Paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 15Ba2-6T requires municipal advisors to promptly
 
amend their temporary registration
 
whenever information concerning Items
 
1 (Identifying Information) or 3 (Disciplinary Information) of Form MA-
 
T becomes inaccurate in anyway.
Paragraph (b)(2) of Rule 15Ba2-6T requires municipal advisors to promptly
 
amend their temporary registration
 
whenever they wish to withdraw from
 
registration.
Paragraph (c) of Rule 15Ba2-6T provides that every initial registration, amendment to registration, or
 
withdrawal from registration filed
 
pursuant to this rule constitutes a
 
''report'' within the meaning of applicable provisions of the Exchange
 
Act. Paragraph (d) of Rule 15Ba2-6T provides that every Form MA-T, including every amendment to or
 
withdrawal from registration, is
 
considered filed with the Commission
 
when the electronic form on the
 
Commission's website is completed and
 
the Commission has sent confirmation
 
to the municipal advisor that the form
 
was filed.
Paragraph (e) of Rule 15Ba2-6T provides that all temporary registrations
 
of municipal advisors will expire on the
 
earlier of: (1) The date that the
 
registration is approved or disapproved
 
by the Commission pursuant to a final
 
rule adopted by the Commission
 
establishing another manner of
 
registration and prescribing a form for
 
the registration; (2) the date on which
 
the municipal advisor's temporary registration is rescinded by the Commission; or (3) December 31, 2011.
Paragraph (f) of Rule 15Ba2-6T provides that Rule 15Ba2-6T will expire
 
on December 31, 2011.
The primary purpose of Rule 15Ba2-6T is to provide information about
 
municipal advisors to investors and
 
issuers, as well as the Commission
 
pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
 
Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Commission staff estimates that approximately 1,000 municipal advisors
 
will file Form MA-T. Commission staff
 
estimates that each of the approximately
 
1,000 municipal advisors will spend an
 
average of 2.5 hours preparing each
 
Form MA-T. Therefore, the estimated
 
total reporting burden associated with
 
completing Form MA-T is 2,500 hours.
 
Additionally, Commission staff
 
estimates that approximately 1,000
 
municipal advisors will amend their
 
Form MA-T once during the period of
 
September 1, 2010 through December
 
31, 2011 and that it will take
 
approximately 30 minutes to amend
 
their form, which means the total
 
burden associated with amending Form
 
MA-T is 500 hours. Therefore, the total
 
annual burden associated with
 
completing and amending Form MA-T
 
is 3,000 hours.
The Commission believes that some municipal advisors will seek outside
 
counsel to help them comply with the
 
requirements of Rule 15Ba2-6T and
 
Form MA-T, and assumes that each of
 
the 1,000 municipal advisors will
 
consult outside counsel for one hour for


this purpose. The hourly rate for an
