Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Upon Written Request, Copies Available
From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and
Information Services, Washington, DC
20549.
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’’) has submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget
requests for approval of extension on
the following rule and form: Rule 17f–
2(d).
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 of 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 fingerprinting 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. 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 regarding the
above information should be directed to
the following persons: (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 Building,
Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an
e-mail to: David_Rostker@omb.eop.gov;
and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Office of
Information Technology, Securities and
Exchange Commission, 100 F Street,

must be submitted to OMB within 30

outweighed the benefits. The Issuer

Security is listed on the New York Stock

The Issuer stated in its application
that it has complied with applicable
rules of CHX by complying with all
applicable laws in the State of New

incorporated, and by providing CHX
with the required documents governing
the withdrawal of securities from listing
and registration on CHX. The Issuer’s
application relates solely to the
withdrawal of the Security from listing
on CHX and shall not affect its
continued listing on NYSE or the Boston
Stock Exchange, Inc. (‘‘BSE’’),3 or its
obligation to be registered under Section
12(b) of the Act.4
Any interested person may, on or
before October 11, 2005 comment on the
