VerDate Aug<31>2005
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland.
The entire meeting will be open to
public attendance, with the exception of
a portion that may be closed pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6) to discuss
organizational and personnel matters
that relate solely to internal personnel
rules and practices of ACNW&M, and
information the release of which would
constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
The agenda for the subject meeting
shall be as follows:
Jkt 211001
Extension: Rule 248.30; SEC File No. 270–
549; OMB Control No. 3235–0610.
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’’) plans to submit to the
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the
previously approved collection of
information for rule 248.30 under
Regulation S-P (17 CFR 248.30), titled
‘‘Procedures to Safeguard Customer
Records and Information; Disposal of
Consumer Report Information.’’
Rule 248.30 (the ‘‘safeguard rule’’)
requires brokers, dealers, investment
companies, and investment advisers
registered with the Commission
(‘‘registered investment advisers’’)
(collectively ‘‘covered institutions’’) to
adopt written policies and procedures
for administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards to protect customer
records and information. The safeguards
must be reasonably designed to ‘‘insure
the security and confidentiality of
customer records and information,’’
‘‘protect against any anticipated threats
or hazards to the security and integrity’’
of those records, and protect against
unauthorized access to or use of those
records or information, which ‘‘could
result in substantial harm or
inconvenience to any customer.’’ The
safeguard rule’s requirement that
covered institutions’ policies and
procedures be documented in writing
constitutes a collection of information
and must be maintained on an ongoing
basis. This requirement eliminates
uncertainty as to required employee
actions to protect customer records and
information and promotes more
systematic and organized reviews of
safeguard policies and procedures by
institutions. The information collection
also assists the Commission’s
examination staff in assessing the
existence and adequacy of covered
institutions’ safeguard policies and
procedures.
The Commission staff estimates that
approximately 449 new entities are
subject to the requirements of the
safeguard rule’s documentation
requirement each year. Of these, we
estimate that 389 will be small entities,
and that on average a small entity will
spend an average of 15 hours to develop
and document its safeguard policies and
procedures. The Commission staff
therefore estimates a one-time hour
burden for these new, smaller entities of
5,835 hours. We estimate that 60
additional large institutions will be
subject to the rule, and that on average
each new large institution will spend
715 hours to develop and document
their safeguard policies and procedures,
for a one-time burden of 42,900 hours.
Thus, we estimate a one-time hour
burden for new entities of 48,735 hours
per year.
The Commission staff also estimates
that 2,080 institutions review and
