1.0 INTRODUCTION In 1987 EAB/ HED conducted a number of exposure assessments in support of the Registration Standard for DDVP ( 1). The potential inhalation exposures resulting to residents from flea collar uses were included in that assessment. The assessment for flea collar use from that assessment is repeated in section 4 of this document. EAB later conducted an exposure assessment for the animals wearing these products ( 2). The exposure estimate for the human exposure scenario was presented to the HED Exposure Science Advisory Council ( EXPOSAC) in August 1998. The EXPOSAC had the following recommendations ( 3):

! " Include characterization of data and assumptions used in the assessment ( e. g., conservative nature due to the use of active ingredient values from cat collars to represent dog collars which presumably would have a larger amount of active ingredient)."

! " Obtain update on any incidence data from exposure to collars." DDVP  Pet Collars Page 2 of 12 ! " Include assessment of child sleeping with dog for eight hours as bounding estimate."

2.0 CONCLUSIONS The 1987 exposure assessments addressed persons in the proximity of pets treated with flea collars containing DDVP and for the pets themselves. The assessment was derived from a study conducted by a previous registrant ( 4). The study contained a number of technical flaws but remains the Agency's only source of chemical specific data addressing this issue. The air concentration values were taken from the original PD4 from the Rebuttal Presumption Against Registration ( RPAR) and have not been updated. The original data are not available. The inhalation exposures of 7 population groups to DDVP from flea collars. The following groups were addressed: adult males; adult females; children, age 1 2; children, age 3 5; children, age 6 8; males, age 9 11; and females, age 9 11. It was assumed that an individual spends 1 hour in close contact with an animal wearing a flea collar and 8 hours in the same room. An estimate of exposure assuming that an individual spends 8 hours in close contact while sleeping has also been included as an upper bound. The latter scenario was not included in the RED package but are included here for comparison. The exposures and resulting MOEs for these population groups are presented in Table 1.

The exposure estimates do not include a dermal component. There are no chemical specific data currently available to address this issue. The MOEs presented in Table 1 for total exposure ( excluding close contact during sleep) range from 14 to 38 and yield an unacceptable risk even without the inclusion of a dermal component. This risk is driven largely by the amount of time in close contact with the animal. It must be noted that, due to the technical difficulties in the data source and the difficulty of extrapolating these limited data to yield an exposure assessment, there is a large degree of uncertainty associated with these estimates.

The respiratory exposures of the animals wearing these products were also estimated in an earlier document to be 53 : g/ kg/ day for dogs and 56 : g/ kg/ day for cats ( 2). The corresponding MOEs would be 0.94 for dogs and 0.89 for cats. There are no data with which to estimate the dermal component of the total exposure or with which to update these estimates.

In general, all of the products have the similar warning statements. They state that the collar should be removed when the pet is bathed and remain off until the animal is dry. They are not to be used on sick, convalescing, pregnant or nursing pets. Other pesticides are not to be used on the pet while the collar is being worn. Some labels for cat products state that the collars are not to be used on Persians. Most labels specify that the products are effective for 3 months. The range of DDVP concentrations is 4.37 to 4.8 percent for cats and 7 to 9 percent DDVP for the dog collars.

EXPOSURE OF RESIDENTS FROM FLEA COLLAR USE A. Calculation of the PD4 of the RPAR  NOT UPDATED, DATA FROM THE ORIGINAL STUDY NOT AVAILABLE 1) Assumptions a) Casual exposure to a pet wearing a flea collar occurs for 8 hours per day.

b) Exposure near the breathing zone of the pet occurs for 1 hour per day.

c) There is a room dilution factor of 10 for DDVP vapors.

d) An average resident weighs 70 kg and has a respiratory volume of 1.2 m3 per hour ( 6).

2) Study by Van Kampen ( 1977) ( 4)

Concentration of DDVP in room from pet with one collar:

a) Room ( casual exposure) range: 0.00013  0.0031 mg/ m3 Mean: 0.0016 mg/ m3 b) Breathing zone range: 0.003  0.29 mg/ m3 Mean: 0.15 mg/ m3 Potential Daily Exposure Casual Exposure = 0.0016 mg/ m3 x 1.2 m3/ hr x 8 hr/ day x 0.1 = 0.0015 mg/ day Breathing zone = 0.15 mg/ m3 x 1.2 m3/ hr x 1 hr/ day x 0.1 = 0.018 mg/ day Total Daily Exp. = ( 0.0015 mg/ day + 0.018 mg/ day) x 1/ 70 kg ( mg/ kg/ day) = 0.0003 mg/ kg/ day DDVP  Pet Collars Page 6 of 12 B. Reassessment from Memorandum of August 4, 1987 The reassessment uses the same concentrations and the same exposure times as the PD4.

1) Assumptions a) A resident weighs 70 kg and has respiratory volumes of 0.44 and 1.7 m3/ hr while at rest and while performing light tasks, respectively.

b) A resident spends 1/ 3 of his time performing light tasks and the remaining 2/ 3 at rest. The average respiratory volume is:

Average Respiratory Volume = ( 1/ 3 x 1.7 m3/ hr) + ( 2/ 3 x 0.44 m3)

= 0.86 m3 c) A resident is exposed to concentration of 0.15 mg per m3 ( breathing zone) for 1 hour per day and a concentration of 0.0016 mg per m3 for 8 hours per day ( casual exposure).

2) Calculation of Exposures Daily Exposure = ( 0.15 mg/ m3 x 1 hr + 0.0016 mg/ m3 x 8 hr) x 0.86 m3/ hr x 1/ 70 kg x 0.1 = 0.00021 mg/ kg/ day Annual Exposure = 0.00021 mg/ kg/ day x 365 days/ year = 0.077 mg/ kg/ yr C. Conclusions EAB has no additional information with which to estimate exposure of residents of homes in which flea collars are employed. The reassessment is essentially in agreement with the PD4 assessment with minor changes in resident respiratory volume.

5.0 Clarifications/ Changes Requested by EXPOSAC 5.1 Include characterization of data and assumptions used in the assessment ( e. g., conservative nature due to the use of active ingredient values from cat collars to represent dog collars which presumably would have a larger amount of active ingredient).

There are minimal data addressing the exposures of individuals or their pets to DDVP from the use of flea collars. No new chemical specific data have been received since the original assessment conducted in 1987. The assessment, originally presented in the PD4 for the RPAR for this compound, was derived using air monitoring data from a weak study in which cats were fitted DDVP  Pet Collars Page 7 of 12 with flea collars. An undocumented dilution factor of 10 was used for DDVP vapors in the PD4 for the RPAR. The body weight and respiratory volume were changed slightly in the 1987 assessment to account for the Agency policies then in use. Fundamentally, the assessment did not change and remains weak. The potential exposures of children were not considered in the assessment conducted in 1987. There are no data with which to estimate any dermal component to the total DDVP exposure.

The EXPOSAC expressed concern that the amount of DDVP in dog collars is greater than that in products intended for cats. It is not known whether the greater amount of DDVP in the collar would have any appreciable effect on the air concentrations since the DDVP in the collar must diffuse through the resin in order to be released into the air.

5.2 Obtain update on any incidence data from exposure to collars.

The reviewer defers to HED's experts in the analysis of incidents to address this issue. The analysis of incidents will be part of the RED for this compound.

5.3 Include assessment of child sleeping with dog for 8 hours as bounding estimate.

As mentioned in Section 5.1, the exposures of children were not considered in the assessment conducted in 1987. It was assumed that an adult spent 1 hour in close contact ( breathing zone value) with the animal and 8 hours in the room ( casual exposure). The EXPOSAC has recommended that a scenario considering an 8 hour exposure to a child be included as a bounding estimate. In response to this request the exposure assessment was expanded, not only to include this scenario, but also to address the exposures of seven population groups. The daily respiratory volumes of individuals and body weights for children were obtained from the Exposure Factors Handbook ( 7). The daily respiratory rates, calculated by dividing the daily values by 24 hours, were used since it is not known what levels of activity might occur during exposure.

The previous assessment assumed that an individual spent 1 hour per day in close proximity to an animal wearing a flea collar ( breathing zone concentration, BZ = 0.15 mg/ m ³ ) and 8 hours in the general area ( room concentration, RC = 0.0016 mg/ m ³ ) . These assumptions were used for this assessment also. An estimate of the exposures of individuals exposed to the breathing zone concentration for 8 hours has also been included. For the 8 hour close contact scenario it was assumed that the individual was at rest during this time. The respiratory NOAEL of 0.05 mg/ kg/ day ( 5) was used for calculation of MOEs. The daily volumes, average hourly volumes, average hourly volumes while at rest, and body weights of the seven population groups are presented in Table 3. The equations used for calculation of exposures were:

Typical Exposure ( 1 hr close, 8 hrs casual):

Exposure = [( 1 hr x BZ Conc ( mg/ m3) + ( 8 hrs x Rm Conc ( mg/ m3)] x Resp. Rate, ( m3/ hr) ( mg/ kg/ day) BW ( kg) DDVP  Pet Collars Page 8 of 12 where: BZ = breathing zone, close to the animal Rm = room zone, casual exposure BW = body weight 8 Hours Close Contact while at rest:

Exposure ( mg/ kg/ day) = [( 8 hrs x BZ Conc ( mg/ m3) BW ( kg)

The resulting exposures are presented in Table 4 and the MOEs are presented in Table 5. DDVP  Pet Collars Page 9 of 12 Table 3. Daily Respiratory Rates, Average Hourly Respiratory Rates, and Body Weights for 5 Representative Population Classes.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88).
    In their letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01-L296, dated March
4th, 2002, and 04/00/02/07/03-L024, dated February 3rd, 2003, the
[Joint Aviation Authorities] JAA recommended the application of a
similar regulation to the National Aviation Authorities (NAA).
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aircraft with either a passenger capacity of 30
or more, or a payload capacity of 3,402 kg (7,500 lb) or more which
have received their certification since January 1st, 1958, are
required to conduct a design review against explosion risks.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is insufficient electrical bonding of the over-
wing refueling cap adapter, which could result in a possible fuel
ignition source in the fuel tanks. The proposed AD would require
actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2010-0199, dated September 30, 2010 (referred
to after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88).
    In their letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01-L296, dated March
4th, 2002, and 04/00/02/07/03-L024, dated February 3rd, 2003, the
JAA recommended the application of a similar regulation to the
National Aviation Authorities (NAA).
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aircraft with either a passenger capacity of 30
or more, or a payload capacity of 3,402 kg (7,500 lb) or more which
have received their certification since January 1st, 1958, are
required to conduct a design review against explosion risks.
* * * * *
    * * * [This AD] requires the additional work introduced by
Airbus SB A310-28-2142 at revision 3.

The unsafe condition is insufficient electrical bonding of the over-
wing refueling cap adapter, which could result in a possible fuel
ignition source in the fuel tanks.
    The additional work for airplanes on which Airbus Service Bulletin
A310-28-2142, dated August 26, 2005; Revision 01, dated July 17, 2006;
or Revision 02, dated September 3, 2007; has been done consists of
doing electrical bonding resistance tests (for configuration 05
airplanes) of the inboard and outboard over-wing refueling cap mounts
and, for configuration 06 airplanes, doing electrical bonding
resistance tests of the outboard over-wing refueling cap mounts, and
corrective actions, if necessary. Corrective actions include installing
and bonding new refueling cap adapter nuts. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.
    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e.,
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design
holders for large turbine-powered transport airplanes and for
subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It requires them to
perform design reviews and to develop design changes and maintenance
procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel tank safety
standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we intended to
adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found necessary
to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) has issued a regulation that
is similar to SFAR 88. (The JAA is an associated body of the European
Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) representing the civil aviation
regulatory authorities of a number of European States who have agreed
to co-operate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory
standards and procedures.) Under this regulation, the JAA stated that
all members of the ECAC that hold type certificates for transport
category airplanes are required to conduct a design review against
explosion risks.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2142, Revision
03, dated November 18, 2009. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 66 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 4 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $200 per product. Where the
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts.
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some
parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $35,640, or $540 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2011-0650; Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-
257-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by August 19, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1)
and (c)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Airbus Model A310-203, A310-204, A310-221 and A310-222
airplanes (without trim tank), all serial numbers, except airplanes
on which Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2143, dated July
20, 2005; and Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2142,
Revision 03, dated November 18, 2009; have been done; certificated
in any category.
    (2) Model A310-304, A310-322, A310-324, and A310-325 airplanes
(fitted with trim tank), all serial numbers, except airplanes on
which Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletins A310-28-2143, and A310-28-
2153, both dated July 20, 2005; and Airbus Mandatory Service
Bulletin A310-28-2142, Revision 03, dated November 18, 2009; have
been done; certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel
System.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    [T]he FAA has published SFAR 88 (Special Federal Aviation
Regulation 88).
    In their letters referenced 04/00/02/07/01-L296, dated March
4th, 2002, and 04/00/02/07/03-L024, dated February 3rd, 2003, the
[Joint Aviation Authorities] JAA recommended the application of a
similar regulation to the National Aviation Authorities (NAA).
    Under this regulation, all holders of type certificates for
passenger transport aircraft with either a passenger capacity of 30
or more, or a payload capacity of 3,402 kg (7,500 lb) or more which
have received their certification since January 1st, 1958, are
required to conduct a design review against explosion risks.
* * * * *
    The unsafe condition is insufficient electrical bonding of the
over-wing refueling cap adapter, which could result in a possible
fuel ignition source in the fuel tanks.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Resistance Measurement

    (g) For configuration 05 and 06 airplanes, as identified in
Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2142, Revision 03, dated
November 18, 2009, on which any Airbus service bulletin identified
in table 1 of this AD has been done: Within 3 months after the
effective date of this AD, do the actions in paragraph (g)(1) or
(g)(2) of this AD, as applicable.

                            Table 1--Previously Accomplished Airbus Service Bulletins
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Airbus Service Bulletin                     Revision                             Date
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2142......  Original...................  August 26, 2005.
Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2142......  01.........................  July 17, 2006.
Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2142......  02.........................  September 3, 2007.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     (1) For configuration 05 airplanes: Do a resistance check of
the inboard and outboard over-wing refuel cap mounts between the
flange face of the refuel insert and the wing, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin
A310-28-2142, Revision 03, dated November 18, 2009.
    (2) For configuration 06 airplanes: Do a resistance check of the
outboard over-wing refuel cap mounts between the flange face of the
refuel insert and the wing, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2142,
Revision 03, dated November 18, 2009.

Corrective Action

    (h) If during any resistance measurement required by paragraph
(g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD, a resistance of 10 mohm or greater is
found: Before further flight, do all applicable corrective actions,
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus
Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2142, Revision 03, dated November
18, 2009.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
    (1) Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-28-2142, Revision 03,
dated November 18, 2009, specifies that if any resistance
measurement is more than 10 mohm, corrective actions must be done.
This AD specifies that if any resistance measurement

is 10 mohm or greater, corrective actions must be done.
    (2) Paragraphs (1), (2), and (4) of European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) Airworthiness Directive 2010-0199, dated September 30,
2010, include actions that are not required in this AD. These
actions are required by AD 2007-20-04, Amendment 39-15214 (72 FR
56258, October 3, 2007).

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (i) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR
39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. Send information to ATTN:
Dan Rodina, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Information may be e-mailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal
inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the
local flight standards district office/certificate holding district
office. The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this
AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.

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:
    Form N-6, SEC File No. 270-446, OMB Control No. 3235-0503.

    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'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    The title for the collection of information is ``Form N-6 (17 CFR
239.17c and 274.11d) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) and under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et
seq.) registration statement of separate accounts organized as unit
investment trusts that offer variable life insurance policies.'' Form
N-6 is the form used by insurance company separate accounts organized
as unit investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts
to register as investment companies under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and/or to register their securities under the Securities Act of
1933. The primary purpose of the registration process is to provide
disclosure of financial and other information to investors and
potential investors for the purpose of evaluating an investment in a
security. Form N-6 also permits separate accounts organized as unit
investment trusts that offer variable life insurance contracts to
provide investors with a prospectus containing information required in
a registration statement prior to the sale or at the time of
confirmation of delivery of securities.
    The Commission estimates that there are approximately 250 separate
accounts registered as unit investment trusts and offering variable
life insurance policies that file registration statements on Form N-6.
The Commission estimates that there are 95 initial registration
statements on Form N-6 filed annually. The Commission estimates that
approximately 813 registration statements (718 post-effective
amendments plus 95 initial registration statements) are filed on Form
N-6 annually. The Commission estimates that the hour burden for
preparing and filing a post-effective amendment on Form N-6 is 67.5
hours. The total annual hour burden for preparing and filing post-
effective amendments is 48,465 hours (718 post-effective amendments
annually times 67.5 hours per amendment). The estimated hour burden per
portfolio for preparing and filing an initial registration statement on
Form N-6 is 770.25 hours. The estimated annual hour burden for
preparing and filing initial registration statements is 73,174 hours
(95 initial registration statements annually times 770.25 hours per
registration statement). The frequency of response is annual. The total
annual hour burden for Form N-6, therefore, is estimated to be 121,639
hours (48,465 hours for post-effective amendments plus 73,174 hours for
initial registration statements).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Form N-6 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be 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.
    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 will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information 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 Charles Boucher, Director/
CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432
General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_
