Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 136 / Monday, July 17, 2006 / Notices
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
records maintained under Rule 17a–1, if
they have filed a record destruction plan
with the Commission and the
Commission has declared such plan
effective.
There are currently 22 SROs: 10
national securities exchanges, 1 national
securities association, 10 registered
clearing agencies, and the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board. These
respondents file no more than one
record destruction plan per year, which
requires approximately 160 hours for
each new plan. However, the
Commission is discounting that figure
given its experience to date with the
number of plans that have been filed.
Further, any existing SRO record
destructions plan may require revision,
over time, in response to, for example,
changes in document retention
technology, which the Commission
estimates will take much less than the
160 hours estimated for a new plan.
Thus, the total annual compliance
burden is estimated to be 60 hours,
based on an estimated two respondents
per year. The approximate cost per hour
is $250, resulting in a total cost of
compliance for these respondents of
$15,000 per year (60 hours @ $250 per
hour).
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)
The 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

Officer, Securities and Exchange

be submitted within 30 days of this
