SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 173;
    SEC File No. 270-557, OMB Control No. 3235-0618.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') this request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Securities Act Rule 173 (17 CFR 230.173) provides a notice of
registration to investors who purchased securities in a registered
offering under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). A
Rule 173 notice must be provided by each underwriter or dealer to each
investor who purchased securities from the underwriter or dealer. The
Rule 173 notice is not publicly available. We estimate that it takes
approximately 0.0167 hour per response to provide the information
required under Rule 173 and that the information is filed by
approximately 5,338 respondents approximately 43,546 times a year for a
total of 232,448,548 responses. We estimate that the total annual
reporting burden for Rule 173 is 3,881,891 hours (0.0167 hours per
response x 232,448,548 responses).
    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 OMB control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following Web site, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for a five-year period if it finds ``such exemption
would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The
statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the
five-year period. FMCSA grants exemptions from the FMCSRs for a two-
year period to align with the maximum duration of a driver's medical
certification.
    The 14 individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10).
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen)
in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at
least 70[deg] in the horizontal Meridian in each eye, and the ability
to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing standard
red, green, and amber.
    In July 1992, the Agency first published the criteria for the
Vision Waiver Program, which listed the conditions and reporting
standards that CMV drivers approved for participation would need to
meet (Qualification of Drivers; Vision Waivers, 57 FR 31458, July 16,
1992). The current Vision Exemption Program was established in 1998,
following the enactment of amendments to the statutes governing
exemptions made by Sec.  4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the
21st Century (TEA-21), Public Law 105-178, 112 Stat. 107, 401 (June 9,
1998). Vision exemptions are considered under the procedures
established in 49 CFR part 381 subpart C, on a case-by-case basis upon
application by CMV drivers who do not meet the vision standards of 49
CFR 391.41(b)(10).
    To qualify for an exemption from the vision requirement, FMCSA
requires a person to present verifiable evidence that he/she has driven
a commercial vehicle safely with the vision deficiency for the past
three years. Recent driving performance is especially important in
evaluating future safety, according to several research studies
designed to correlate past and future driving performance. Results of
these studies support the principle that the best predictor of future
performance by a driver is his/her past record of crashes and traffic
violations. Copies of the studies may be found at Docket Number FMCSA-
1998-3637.
    FMCSA believes it can properly apply the principle to monocular
drivers, because data from the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA)
former waiver study program clearly demonstrated the driving
performance of experienced monocular drivers in the program is better
than that of all CMV drivers collectively (See 61 FR 13338, 13345,
March 26, 1996). The fact that experienced monocular drivers
demonstrated safe driving records in the waiver program supports a
conclusion that other monocular drivers, meeting the same qualifying
conditions as those required by the waiver program, are also likely to
have adapted to their vision deficiency and will continue to operate
safely.
    The first major research correlating past and future performance
was done in England by Greenwood and Yule in 1920. Subsequent studies,
building on that model, concluded that crash rates for the same
individual exposed to certain risks for two different time periods vary
only slightly (See Bates and Neyman, University of California
Publications in Statistics, April 1952). Other studies demonstrated
theories of predicting crash proneness from crash history coupled with
other factors. These factors--such as age, sex, geographic location,
mileage driven and conviction history--are used every day by insurance
companies and motor vehicle bureaus to predict the probability of an
individual experiencing future crashes (See Weber, Donald C.,
``Accident Rate Potential: An Application of Multiple Regression
Analysis of a Poisson Process,'' Journal of American Statistical
Association, June 1971). A 1964 California Driver Record Study prepared
by the California Department of Motor Vehicles concluded that the best
overall crash predictor for both concurrent and nonconcurrent events is
the number of single convictions. This study used three consecutive
years of data, comparing the experiences of drivers in the first two
years with their experiences in the final year.

[Docket ID PHMSA-97-2995]

Pipeline Safety: Random Drug Testing Rate

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Notice of minimum annual percentage rate for random drug
testing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: PHMSA has determined that the minimum random drug testing rate
for covered employees will remain at 25 percent during calendar year
2008.

DATES: Effective January 1, 2008, through December 31, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stanley Kastanas, Director, Drug and
Alcohol Policy and Investigations, PHMSA, U.S. Department of
Transportation, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER> or e-mail
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Operators of gas, hazardous liquid, and
carbon dioxide pipelines and operators of liquefied natural gas
facilities must select and test a percentage of covered employees for
random drug testing.
    Pursuant to 49 CFR 199.105(c)(2), (3), and (4), the PHMSA
Administrator's decision on whether to change the minimum annual random
drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug test positive
rate for the pipeline industry. The data considered by the
Administrator comes from operators' annual submissions of Management
Information System (MIS) reports required by 49 CFR199.119(a). If the
reported random drug test positive rate is less than one percent, the
Administrator may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25
percent. In 2006, the random drug test positive rate was less than one
percent. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will remain at
25 percent for calendar year 2008.
    In reference to the notice published in 70 FR 20800, PHMSA intends
to publish an Advisory Bulletin specifying the methodology for
reporting calendar year 2007 MIS contractor data to PHMSA. Therefore,
operators must ensure records on contract employees continue to be
maintained in calendar year 2008.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 5103, 60102, 60104, 60108, 60117, and
60118; 49 CFR 1.53.
