Extension: Rule 19d–1; SEC File No. 270–242; OMB Control No. 3235–0206. 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’’) intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget request for extension of the previously approved collection of information discussed below. <bullet≤ Rule 19d–1—Notices by SelfRegulatory Organizations of Final Disciplinary Actions, Denials Bars, or Limitations Respecting Membership, Association, or Access to Services, and Summary Suspensions Rule 19d–1 (17 CFR 240.19d–1) (‘‘Rule’’) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) prescribes the form and content of notices to be filed with the Commission by self-regulatory organizations (‘‘SROs’’) for which the Commission is the appropriate regulatory agency concerning the following final SRO actions: (1) Disciplinary sanctions (including summary suspensions); (2) denials of membership, participation or association with a member; and (3) prohibitions or limitations on access to SRO services. The Rule enables the Commission to obtain reports from the SROs containing information regarding SRO determinations to discipline members or associated persons of members, deny membership or participation or association with a member, and similar adjudicated findings. The Rule requires that such actions be promptly reported to the Commission. The Rule also requires that the reports and notices supply sufficient information regarding the background, factual basis and issues involved in the proceeding to enable the Commission: (1) To determine whether the matter should be called up for review on the Commission’s own motion; and (2) to ascertain generally whether the SRO has adequately carried out its responsibilities under the Exchange Act. It is estimated that 10 respondents will utilize this application procedure annually, with a total burden of 1175 hours, based on past submissions. This PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24635 figure is based on 10 respondents, spending approximately 117.5 hours each. Each respondent submitted approximately 235 responses. The staff estimates that the average number of hours necessary to comply with the requirements of Rule 19d–1 for each submission is 0.5 hours. The average cost per hour, per each submission is approximately $101. Therefore, the total cost of compliance for all the respondents is $118,675. (10 respondents x 235 responses per respondent x .5 hrs per response x $101 per hour). The filing of notices pursuant to the Rule is mandatory for the SROs, but does not involve the collection of confidential information. Please note that 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. Rule 19d–1 does not have a retention of records requirement. 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 shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be 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.
