annual cost to all respondents is thus
$9,987,300.
Because the FBI will not accept
fingerprint cards directly from
submitting organizations, Commission
approval of fingerprint plans from
certain SROs is essential to carry out the
Congressional goal to fingerprint
securities industry personnel. Filing
these plans for review assures users and
their personnel that fingerprint cards
will be handled responsibly and with
due care for confidentiality.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Paperwork
Reduction Act’’), 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 (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Rule 489 (17 CFR 230.489) under the
Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et
seq.) requires foreign banks and foreign
insurance companies and holding
companies and finance subsidiaries of
foreign banks and foreign insurance
companies that are exempted from the
definition of ‘‘investment company’’ by
virtue of rules 3a–1 (17 CFR 270.3a–1),
3a–5 (17 CFR 270.3a–5), and 3a–6 (17
CFR 270.3a–6) under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1
et seq.) to file Form F–N (17 CFR
239.43) to appoint an agent for service
of process when making a public
offering of securities in the United
States. The information is collected so
that the Commission and private
plaintiffs may serve process on foreign
entities in actions and administrative
proceedings arising out of or based on
the offer or sales of securities in the
United States by such foreign entities.
During calendar year 2013, the
Commission received a total of 16
responses on Form F–N from 14 entities.
The Commission has previously
estimated that the total annual burden
associated with information collection
and Form F–N preparation and
submission is one hour per filing. Based
on the Commission’s experience with
disclosure documents generally, the
Commission continues to believe that
this estimate is appropriate. Thus the
estimated total annual burden for rule
489 and Form F–N is 16 hours.1
Estimates of average burden hours are
made solely for the purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act and are not
derived from a comprehensive or even
representative survey or study of the
costs of Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of rule 489
and Form F–N is mandatory to obtain
the benefit of the exemption. 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 OMB control number.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Commission’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)
1 16 responses × 1 hour per response = 16 hours
per year.

ways to minimize the burden of the
