Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 115 / Wednesday, June 17, 2009 / Notices
for the rejection, identification of the
guarantor, and whether the guarantor
failed to meet the transfer agent’s
guarantee standard. These
recordkeeping requirements assist the
Commission and other regulatory
agencies with monitoring transfer agents
and ensuring compliance with the rule.
There are approximately 587
registered transfer agents. The staff
estimates that every transfer agent will
spend about 40 hours annually to
comply with Rule 17Ad–15. The total
annual burden for all transfer agents is
23,480 hours. The average cost per hour
is approximately $50. Therefore, the
total cost of compliance for all transfer
agents is $1,174,000.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’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.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.

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’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in the following rule: Rule
17f-1(c) and Form X–17F–1A (17 CFR
249.100) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)
(‘‘Exchange Act’’). The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Rule 17f-1(c) (17 CFR 240.17f-1(c))
requires approximately 26,000 entities
in the securities industry to report lost,
stolen, missing, or counterfeit securities
to a central database. Form X–17F–1A
(17 CFR 249.100) facilitates the accurate
reporting and precise and immediate
data entry into the central database.
Reporting to the central database fulfills
a statutory requirement that reporting
institutions report and inquire about
missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen
securities. Reporting to the central
database also allows reporting
institutions to gain access to the
database that stores information for the
Lost and Stolen Securities Program.
We estimate that 26,000 reporting
institutions will report that securities
are either missing, lost, counterfeit, or
stolen annually and that each reporting
institution will submit this report 50
times each year. The staff estimates that
the average amount of time necessary to
comply with Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X–
17F–1A is five minutes. The total
burden is 108,333 hours annually for
respondents (26,000 times 50 times 5
divided by 60).
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 estimate
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.

comments and suggestions submitted in

Rule 35d–1; SEC File No. 270–491; OMB
Control No. 3235–0548.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (‘‘Act’’), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(the ‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting
comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
Rule 35d–1 (17 CFR 270.35d–1) under
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) generally
requires that investment companies
with certain names invest at least 80%
of their assets according to what their
names suggests. The rule provides that
an affected investment company must
either adopt this 80% requirement as a
fundamental policy or adopt a policy to
provide notice to shareholders at least
60 days prior to any change in its 80%
investment policy. This preparation and
delivery of the notice to existing
shareholders is a collection of
information within the meaning of the
Act.
The Commission estimates that there
are 8,681 open-end and closed-end
management investment companies and
series that have descriptive names that
are governed by the rule. The
Commission estimates that of these
8,681 investment companies,
approximately 29 provide prior notice
to their shareholders of a change in their
investment policies per year. The
Commission estimates that the annual
burden associated with the notice
requirement of the rule is 20 hours per
response. The total burden hours for
Rule 35d–1 is 580 per year in the
aggregate (29 responses × 20 hours per
response). Estimates of average burden

Extension:
Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X-17F-1A, OMB Control No. 3235-0037, SEC

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'') is soliciting comments on the existing collection of
information provided for in the following rule: Rule 17f-1(c) and Form
X-17F-1A (17 CFR 249.100) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act''). The Commission plans to submit
this existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
Rule 17f-1(c) (17 CFR 240.17f-1(c)) requires approximately 26,000
entities in the securities industry to report lost, stolen, missing, or
counterfeit securities to a central database. Form X-17F-1A (17 CFR
249.100) facilitates the accurate reporting and precise and immediate
data entry into the central database. Reporting to the central database
fulfills a statutory requirement that reporting institutions report and
inquire about missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen securities.
Reporting to the central database also allows reporting institutions to
gain access to the database that stores information for the Lost and
Stolen Securities Program.
We estimate that 26,000 reporting institutions will report that
securities are either missing, lost, counterfeit, or stolen annually
and that each reporting institution will submit this report 50 times
each year. The staff estimates that the average amount of time
necessary to comply with Rule 17f-1(c) and Form X-17F-1A is five

(26,000 times 50 times 5 divided by 60).
Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed

the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to
