burden of (1,230 × 2 hrs × .75) 1,845
hours. In addition, we estimate that an
issuer distributes a notice to five
directors and executive officers at an
estimated 5 minutes per notice (1,230
blackout period × 5 notices × 5 minutes)
for a total reporting burden of 512
hours. The combined annual reporting
burden is (1,845 hours + 512 hours)
2,357 hours.

Regulation G; OMB Control No. 3235–

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 a
request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information
discussed below.
Regulation G under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Exchange
Act’’) requires registrants that publicly
disclose material information that
includes a non-GAAP financial measure
to provide a reconciliation to the most

1934 requires certain broker-dealers
who carry customer accounts to provide
statements of the broker-dealer’s
financial condition to their customers.
Paragraph (5) of Rule 17a–5(c) provides
a conditional exemption from this
requirement. It is estimated that
approximately 375 broker-dealer
respondents with approximately 109
million public customer accounts incur
an average burden of 130,000 hours per
year to comply with this rule.
Rule 17a–5(c) does not contain record
retention requirements. Compliance
with the rule is mandatory. Responses
are not 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.
General comments regarding the
estimated burden hours should be
directed to the following persons: (i)

directly comparable GAAP financial
measure. Regulation G implemented the
requirements of Section 401 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The
information provided under Regulation
G is mandatory and is available to the
public. We estimate that approximately
14,000 public companies must comply
with Regulation G approximately six
times a year for a total of 84,000
responses annually. We estimated that it
takes approximately .5 hours per
response (84,000 × .5 hours) for a total
reporting burden of 42,000 hours
annually.

approved collection of information
discussed below.
Rule 10b–17, Untimely
announcements of record dates (17 CFR
240.10b–17), requires any issuer of a
class of securities publicly traded by the
use of any means or instrumentality of
interstate commerce or of the mails or
of any facility of any national securities
exchange to give notice of the following
actions relating to such class of
securities: (1) A dividend; (2) a stock
split; or (3) a rights or other subscription
offering. Notice shall be (1) given to the
National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.; (2) in accordance with the
procedures of the national securities
exchange upon which the securities are
registered; or (3) may be waived by the
Commission.
The information required by Rule
10b–17 is necessary for the execution of
the Commission’s mandate under the
Exchange Act to prevent fraudulent,
manipulative, and deceptive acts and
practices by broker-dealers. The
consequence of not requiring the
information collection pursuant to Rule
10b–17 is that sellers who have received
distributions as recordholders may
dispose of the cash or stock dividends
or other rights received as recordholders
without knowledge of possible claims of
purchasers.
It is estimated that, on an annual
basis, there are approximately 29,430
respondents and that each response
takes about 10 minutes to complete,
thus imposing approximately 4,905
burden hours annually (29,430 × 10
minutes). We believe that the average
hourly cost to produce and file a
response under the rule is about $50.
Therefore, the annual reporting cost
burden for complying with this rule is
about $245,250 (4,905 × $50).
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)

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Filings and Information Services, Washington, DC

Extension:
Rule 10b-17. SEC File No. 270-427; OMB. Control No. 3235-0476.
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 a
request for extension of the previously
[[Page 75504]]
approved collection of information discussed below.
Rule 10b-17, Untimely announcements of record dates (17 CFR
240.10b-17), requires any issuer of a class of securities publicly
traded by the use of any means or instrumentality of interstate
commerce or of the mails or of any facility of any national securities
exchange to give notice of the following actions relating to such class
of securities: (1) A dividend; (2) a stock split; or (3) a rights or
other subscription offering. Notice shall be (1) given to the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; (2) in accordance with the
procedures of the national securities exchange upon which the
securities are registered; or (3) may be waived by the Commission.
The information required by Rule 10b-17 is necessary for the
execution of the Commission's mandate under the Exchange Act to prevent
fraudulent, manipulative, and deceptive acts and practices by broker-
dealers. The consequence of not requiring the information collection
pursuant to Rule 10b-17 is that sellers who have received distributions
as recordholders may dispose of the cash or stock dividends or other
rights received as recordholders without knowledge of possible claims
of purchasers.
It is estimated that, on an annual basis, there are approximately
29,430 respondents and that each response takes about 10 minutes to
complete, thus imposing approximately 4,905 burden hours annually
(29,430 x 10 minutes). We believe that the average hourly cost to
produce and file a response under the rule is about $50. Therefore, the
annual reporting cost burden for complying with this rule is about
$245,250 (4,905 x $50).
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

Technology, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20549. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30 days
of this notice.
