Extension:
Rule 17f–2(d); SEC File No. 270–36; OMB
Control No. 3235–0028.
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
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 17f–2(d) was adopted on March
16, 1976, and was last amended on
November 18, 1982. Paragraph (d) of the
rule (i) requires that records produced
pursuant to the fingerprinting
requirements of Section 17(f)(2) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’) be maintained, (ii)
permits the designated examining
authorities of broker-dealers or members
of exchanges, under certain
circumstances, to store and maintain
records required to be kept by this rule,
and (iii) permits the required records to
be maintained on microfilm.
The general purpose for Rule 17f–2 is:
(i) to identify security risk personnel;
(ii) to provide criminal record

information so that employers can make
fully informed employment decisions;
and (iii) to deter persons with criminal
records from seeking employment or
association with covered entities.
Retention of fingerprint records, as
required under paragraph (d) of the
Rule, enables the Commission or other
examining authority to ascertain
whether all required persons are being
fingerprinted and whether proper
procedures regarding fingerprint are
being followed. Retention of these
records for the term of employment of
all personnel plus three years ensures
that law enforcement officials will have
easy access to fingerprint cards on a
timely basis. This in turn acts as an
effective deterrent to employee
misconduct.
Approximately 9,468 respondents are
subject to the recordkeeping
requirements of the rule. Each
respondent keeps approximately 32 new
records per year, which takes
approximately 2 minutes per record for
the respondent to maintain, for an
annual burden of 64 minutes per
respondent. All records subject to the
rule must be retained for the term of
employment plus 3 years. The
Commission estimates that the total
annual cost to submitting entities is
approximately $196,850. This figure
reflects estimated costs of labor and
storage of records.
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

Information Officer, Office of
Information Technology, Securities and
Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE,

[File No. 500–1]
In the Matter of NetCurrents
Information Services, Inc.; Order of
Suspension of Trading
July 15, 2005.
It appears to the Securities and
Exchange Commission that there is a
lack of current and accurate information
concerning the securities of NetCurrents
Information Services, Inc., because the
company is delinquent in its periodic
filing obligations under section 13(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
because of possible manipulative
conduct occurring in the market for the
company’s stock. NetCurrents
Information Services, Inc. last filed an
annual report on Form 10–KSB for the
year ended December 31, 2000, and last
filed a quarterly report on Form 10–QSB
for the quarter ended September 30,
2001.
The Commission is of the opinion that
the public interest and the protection of
investors require a suspension of trading
in the common stock (ticker symbol
NCIS) and Series A 8.5% convertible
preferred stock (ticker symbol NCISP) of
the above-listed company.
Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to
section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, that trading in the abovelisted company is suspended for the
period from 9:30 a.m. e.d.t. on July 15,
2005, through 11:59 p.m. e.d.t. on July
28, 2005.
By the Commission.
J. Lynn Taylor,
Assistant Secretary.

because of questions regarding the

others in SSLX’s press release
concerning, among other things, the
identify of the management and
directors of the company and the status
of its corporate organizations.
