ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1986-0005 [FRL-9742-9]]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Torch Lake Superfund
Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule: notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 is issuing a
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion of the Isle Royale Stamp Tailings
and Michigan Smelter Tailings parcels of OU3 and the Mason Sands parcel
of OU1 of the Torch Lake Superfund Site (Site) located in Houghton
County, Michigan, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests
public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant
to Section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an
appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA and the State of Michigan, through the
Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), have determined
that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed.
However, this deletion does not preclude future actions under
Superfund.
    This partial deletion pertains to the surface tailings, drums and
slag piles of Isle Royale and Michigan Smelter tailings parcels of OU3
and the Mason Sands parcel of OU1. The following parcels will remain on
the NPL and are not being considered for deletion as part of this
action: Dollar Bay, Point Mills, Calumet Lake Tailing, Boston Pond
Tailings, North Entry and Quincy Smelter.

DATES: Comments must be received by November 23, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Partial Deletion of the Isle Royale Tailings and Michigan Smelter
Tailings parcels of OU3 and Mason Sand parcel of OU1 of the Torch Lake

because we view this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipate no
adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this deletion in the
preamble to the direct final Notice for Partial Deletion, and those
reasons are incorporated herein. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on
this deletion action, we will not take further action on this Notice of
Intent for Partial Deletion. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will
withdraw the direct final Notice for Partial Deletion, and it will not
take effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final Notice of Partial Deletion based on this Notice of
Intent for Partial Deletion. We will not institute a second comment
period on this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Partial
Deletion which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension: Regulation S-AM; SEC File No. 270-548; OMB Control No. 3235-
0609.

    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 collection of
information provided for in Regulation S-AM (17 CFR part 248, subpart
B), under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (Pub.
L. 108-159, Section 214, 117 Stat. 1952 (2003)) (``FACT Act''), the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.), the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.), and the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b-1 et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Regulation S-AM implements the requirements of Section 214 of the
FACT Act as applied to brokers, dealers, and investment companies, as
well as investment advisers and transfer agents that are registered
with the Commission (collectively, ``Covered Persons''). As directed by
Section 214 of the FACT Act, before a receiving affiliate may make
marketing solicitations based on the communication of certain consumer
financial information from a Covered Person, the Covered Person must
provide a notice to each affected individual informing the individual
of his or her right to prohibit such marketing. The regulation
potentially applies to all of the approximately 21,466 Covered Persons
registered with the Commission, although only approximately 12,021 of
them have one or more corporate affiliates, and the regulation would
require only approximately 2,147 of them to provide consumers with
notice and an opt-out opportunity.
    The Commission staff estimates that there are approximately 12,021
Covered Persons having one or more affiliates, and that they would
require an average one-time burden of 1 hour to review affiliate
marketing practices, for a total of 12,021 hours, at a total staff cost
of approximately $2,524,410. The staff also estimates that
approximately 2,147 Covered Persons would be required to provide notice
and opt-out opportunities to consumers, and would incur an average
first-year burden of 18 hours in doing so, for a total estimated first-
year burden of 38,646 hours, at a total staff cost of approximately
$10,279,836. With regard to continuing notice burdens, the staff
estimates that each of the approximately 2,147 Covered Persons required
to provide notice and opt-out opportunities to consumers would incur a
burden of approximately 4 hours per year to create and deliver notices
to new consumers and record any opt outs that are received on an
ongoing basis, for a total of 8,588 hours, at a total staff cost of
approximately $489,516 per year.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on
respondents; 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.
    Comments should be submitted in writing to: Charles Boucher,
Director/Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission,
c/o Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312, or
by e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
